Jodi Arias Trial Lumbers On Toward The Finish Line
When last we were in court, the defense had stated its case for saving Jodi Arias from the death penalty. It was not a strong case, but it was a very long case. And Juan had given his rebuttal. Normally that would mean it’s time for closing arguments but today the defense began its surrebuttal, […]

Jodi Arias Trial Update 2/4/15 The Morning Session
This morning we started with a sidebar followed by the defense arguing outside of the jury that the testimony of Detective Perry Smith should be precluded because they have not received his reports or had enough time to interview him.
