The Jodi Arias Circus Adds New Performers

November 3, 2014 by tamaratattles 24 Comments

 

Jodi Arias 1103 white shirt to testifyThe square wheels of Arizona justice continued to thud along today in the Jodi Arias trial.  When last we left off, Nurmi had convinced Judge Stephens to seal the courtroom from the public and allow a mystery mitigation witness for the defense to testify to the jury in secret. Then we found out that the secret witness was Jodi Arias herself.  Because, Arizona. So the media was all a flutter and decided to file a motion to appeal  Judge Stephens decision to throw everyone out of the courtroom.

Today Jodi showed up in her finest virginal white shirt with her hair pulled back to testify again. The jury showed up. Everyone showed up. Except the attorneys for both sides and the media. They were down the street for the appeal at the appellate court. So the jury was sent away until 3:15 their time.  You know so they could come back for a full 45 minute day. Because, Arizona.

Meanwhile in appellate court the attorney for the media argued in front of three appellate judges.  His primary argument was based on the United States Constitution. Blah, blah, blah, public trial, blah blah blah the great state of Arizona paying millions of dollars for this shit show and there is no basis for secrecy. The attorneys were limited to ten minutes per side. Very efficient. Martinez and Nurmi were on the same side. Martinez just wants to get on with it. It’s been six years. Nurmi says he doesn’t like the media tweeting out the proceedings as they happen and then running out of court to report on the trial.  OH THE HUMANITY!  The judges reacted to all the attorneys as they were speaking. They seemed to find not merit in Nurmi’s plea. Nurmi says he gets death threats every day, the judges said that is part of the job. Nurmi pretended he had more than one intimidated witness, when in actuality it was just Jodi, in my estimation. The judges took it all under advisement and promised a decision in the afternoon.

And amazingly, they actually came back with a verdict in a timely manner. And the verdict was in favor of the media. Specifically, they stayed Judge Stephens order. That means she has to let the media back in.  But there was a second part that gave her the right to take lesser measures to insure the safety of witnesses.

So every went back to the regular courtroom, the media was let in, the photog took the above picture of Jodi’s witness look, the jury came in and…SIDEBAR. Say it with me now….because, Arizona.  Judge Stephens and Nurmi and Martinez are confused about the appellate order. What does lessor steps me? Lots of head scratches. The jury is sent home until 10 am Wednesday. Tomorrow afternoon they will apparently be asking the appellate court for further explanation. I have a feeling Nurmi wants to ban live tweeting for Jodi’s testimony. I think the judges intention was ordering that cameras be off. However, I’m not sure the appellate judges realize the witness is Jodi. Because, Arizona.

So Nurmi said he had no witnesses to put on today and could not move forward and everyone went home. It was a complete place of a clean white shirt and half pony tail.

Because, Arizona.

    She sure is ugly without the make and hair dye. Compare the above picture with the pictures of her with her boyfriends.
    I am assuming that there is no court tomorrow because of elections?

      ​There is appellate court tomorrow so the three judges can explain to Stephens how to do her job. They had to cancel court for this until Wednesday… because…you know.

    I agree the ‘lesser measures’ is probably just banning cameras and phones so there is no live tweeting or streaming of the proceedings. Which isn’t necessarily that bad. The fact this is continually dragging on and costing taxpayers even more money is probably the worst aspect. Or do ‘Mericans not care about Arizona? Like the Aussies dislike our twoheaded cousins in Tasmania. 🙂

      ​We like Arizona. They are like our autistic little brother. They’re great, but you don’t want them running a death penalty case.

      /waits for the outrage.

    I’ve been re-reading the Jodi stuff. I may have missed it, but do they (the prosecution, cops,etc) know how she overtook a man so much bigger than her? There are so many gory details, I am not looking for more. As I read more trial details I realized I never heard about that.

      Jennbug, IMO, I don’t believe that knowledge as a fact will ever be known unless Jodi decides to tell the truth.
      We know he was ok in the shower. Travis was a nice guy and never would had seen the anger building in Jodi. He didn’t have the awareness of evil. As many of us, we base our perception of others actions on what we are capable of.
      That’s the reason I think Jodi was able to get the upper hand.

          ​I wouldn’t think so. She doesn’t seem experienced enough. This is her first death penalty trial I think. I like her, but she seems to really be struggling to get through this.

          I mean she could have been I suppose. I dunno.

    It saddened me to read that Nurmi gets death threats. That is so NOT cool at all. What the unholy fuck is wrong with some people?

      ​Part of the reason I try to squash the vitriol toward him here. One wonders how much of the weight was lost through intention and how much due to the stress.

      I think the people who tweet celebrities vitriolic things all day long are the same type of people that threaten Nurmi. Sometimes when I post something….er…unflattering about a bravoleb here, invariably someone says, “we should tweet the link to …” whoever it is about. My thought is always why would we do that?

      Laurie Holden, the amazing actress that played Andrea in the Walking Dead, received a horrendous amount of hate mail and death threats after her CHARACTER – in the SHOW – following a written SCRIPT – accidentally shot Daryl (another character/fan favorite).

      The show handled this horribly in response by killing off her character, who is the main female lead in the source material.

      She gave a really sad interview about missing the people she’s worked and lived with in the backwoods of Georgia for two years, and said that all cast members getting killed off know months in advance in order to plan their REAL LIVES but she got like a week notice.

      So basically she got fucked over, lost money and lost opportunities because an alarming amount of the general public are scarily stupid

      I agree Morgan. It’s his job. If I’m not mistaken, he has never wanted to be involved with this case and doesn’t like his client. Our judicial system is based on every citizen that is accused of a crime having an attorney to defend them whether they are guilty or not. He didn’t make her do what she did. It’s his job to defend her to the best of his ability. If he doesn’t, it can be appealed and the case overturned later. All I know is that I would hate to have his job. It would make me sick to have to try to convince people to give her life and not the death penalty.
