Lifetime is airing the Jodi Arias movie that I know I must have watched back when it first came out but I don’t remember much of it. At ten PM, there is a new episode of Cell Mate Secrets about Jodi Arias. They interview two of her cellmates that she was friends with. It looks […]

Slow News Friday: A Quick Wrap Up
Nathan Griffith, got arrested in Cary, North Carolina for DWI. Cary is inland maybe two or three hours from THE LAND so I’m not sure what he was doing there. I think he lives in South Carolina these days. He was arrested at 5:30 in the afternoon outside a grocery story. He must have been […]
Juan Martinez Is In Hot Water; New Trial For Jodi Arias?
This is the most bizarre thing I have ever been sent in an email. Someone sent me a link saying that Jodi Arias’ conviction could be overturned. Um, bullshit. She’s admitted that she brutally killed her boyfriend and has said she can’t believe she was capable of such a thing. She’s serving life. It’s over. […]

Jodi Arias Trial Juror 17’s Husband Was Prosecuted by Juan Martinez
I’m getting lots of questions today about Juror #17 based on tons of rumors. Here is what is factual. Juan Martinez prosecuted 17’s first husband and sent him to jail. 17 married husband number one (or at least the previous husband to the current one) the day before he went to jail. Clearly, 17 is […]

After about 26 1/2 hours of deliberations, the Jodi Arias Jury is ready to share the outcome of all of their hard work. The folks who have been following this trial in the court room are all hopeful that an actual verdict has been reached one way or another. While I certainly hope that is […]
VERDICT IN JODI ARIAS CASE? Not Really Jury is Hung…
Remember when I predicted the jury would come back on Tuesday after lunch? Well it’s Tuesday and the jury came back in the Jodi Arias trial. Remember when I said they will probably not agree? We they don’t. In some states this is when the judge reads something called an Allen Charge to the jury. […]
Jodi Arias Trial Weirdness! Because, Arizona.
Okay the jury has lost their damn mind. Rumor has it that one of the sitting jurors wants to trade places with an alternate juror. As you recall when Juror #2 was drawn as an alternate, she cried all the way to her car. Well, today one of the jurors who is currently deliberating has […]
Jodi Arias Case Goes to Jury. VERDICT WATCH. Finally.
UPDATE: Jurors have gone home for the night after about 3 hours and 15 minutes of testimony. They return tomorrow. There was so much to tell you guys yesterday, I left a lot of things out. One broad thing I need to point out is that Juan Martinez did not object one time to Kirk […]

Jodi Arias Trial Closing Arguments Have Begun
Apologies for skipping the Jodi Update yesterday, I had a lot of personal matters that needed attending to and it wore me slap out. I fell asleep before I could ever read to get caught up. I’m just now finding out that yesterday was a big day for the trial. It was the last day […]
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 February 11, 2015: More Porn!
It’s time for another day in the Jodi Arias Trial. Today Mesa police computer forensics guys are going to talk about the whole porn versus virus nonsense on Travis’s laptop.

Jodi Arias Court Recap For 2/9/15 Finishing Off DeMarte
The Jodi Arias trial soldiering on today with Nurmi beginning with some very aggressive attacks on DeMarte. It’s sort of a repeat of Thursday. She misrepresented he experience, she shared confidential test questions with Juan. It’s all baloney. He’s still doing his best Juan Martinez impression. I don’t think it went over well with the […]
Jodi Arias Trial Thursday 2/5/15
Jodi Arias was the last to arrive to trial today. It seemed to start later than I thought, but I must have gotten the times wrong. It looks like it going to start after 10 am MST. Nurmi is loaded for bear. The defense hates DeMarte with a purple passion. Nurmi greets her with a “Good Morning” […]

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. This motion actually seems to have merit to me. Smith was tapped by the prosecution […]
Jodi Arias Court Recap for 2/3/12
The stall tactics by the defense begin again today as Juan is preparing to call Dr. Janeen DeMarte and a Detective Smith from Mesa PD to the stand. Dr. Demarte everything Jodi Arias wishes she was. She tried to mimic her throughout her entire testimony in the first trial. Then she went back to mimicking Willmott. […]
Jodi Arias Circus Continues.
I didn’t have a chance to cover the trial last Thursday afternoon. I believe Bishop Vernon Parker was called to the stand by Juan. Today Nurmi will have a chance to cross examine him. This is all about the porn on a communal computer at his home that Mark McGee AKA anonymous Witness #1 claims […]
Jodi Arias Trial Recap For Tuesday January, 27th: Don’t Mention the Magic Underpants
Nurmi is stalling already. One of the jurors said that she was asked what time court started and she replied she could not talk and walked away. Nurmi wants to question her in chambers. WHY? Also Juan is going to call Deanna, the bishop dude and Abe who was the official recipient of the […]
Jodi Arias Trial Monday Recap: Juror Questions Raise Hope For Death Penalty Verdict
I was super busy yesterday so I’m just catching up. It was a long day in the Arias trial as they try to finish up with Geffner. Juan spent the morning trying to discredit Bob’s credentials and pointing out inconsistencies with the numerous pysch tests. By all accounts morning testimony was repetitive and Juan and […]
Sad Post Related To Jodi Arias Trial
Yesterday, I began hearing rumors that Detective Esteban Flores’s 15-year-old son had died in a zip lining accident. I looked for an official news report and did not find one. I did not want the story to be true and I did not want to report it. Tonight, sadly, I was sent confirmation. Click through for […]
Jodi Arias Afternoon Session on Tank Top Thursday
Everyone is back from lunch and ready to go. Juan skipped lunch since he has been eating Bob for lunch all day. Juan talks about the Lake Havasu trip and point so out more inconsistencies.

We’re supposed to have a full day of Juan cross-examining Dr. Bob Geffner, psychologist for the defense, also know as the male Alyce LaViolette in today’s Jodi Arias trial. Juan is loaded for bear with mountains of papers on his table. He’s hyped up and pacing. Wilmott is coaching Bob on the whole child porn […]
Jodi Arias Circus Post For Wednesday
We return to court with the mandatory sidebar. I’ve determined that this is a Judge Stephens thing. Usually, she sees some very short appearances by less notorious criminals, and one tweeter pointed out that she sidebars with counsel before beginning pretty much every time. I think she should just speak from the bench especially when […]
Jodi Arias Sentencing Circus Update 1/20/15
We have now had four months of trial. The first trial only lasted five months. In the four months there have only been twenty three days of trial. The jury was rarely in court the full day. Because, Arizona. I’m just going to cover Tuesdays in broad strokes. First of all, in the side ring, Judge […]
Jodi Arias Catch Up Thread
I didn’t cover the trial yesterday mostly because I was reading the secret testimony. The secret testimony was not an allocution. Jodi actually took the stand. There was absolutely not a single thing new or interesting in her testimony that she did no publicly testify to before. They started off with her childhood. Her mother […]
Jodi Arias Circus. 1/12/15 Day 9,039 “Venus Monster Anal Fuck Machine”
Today in the center ring, we begin with a very long sidebar despite the jury not even being in the room.

But eventually, the jury comes in and the Judge makes no public statement about whatever they talked […]
Jodi Arias Trial Updates Action in Two Circus Rings Today!
I’m confused. I thought there was a hearing today on something. I had commitments to keep in THE WORLD today (ugh) and was unable to keep up with things and sorting things out is problematic. To make matters worse Obama was in Pheonix today and there were protests and such so my “Jodi” list is full […]
