Per Beth Karas, as interviewed by JVM (May 2, before court):

"MANSLAUGHTER BY HEAT OF PASSION WILL BE INCLUDED.

The judge will give instructions on pre-meditated and the alternative theory of felony murder; she will then tell the jury there are two lesser included charges to premeditated murder (not felony) and that's 2nd degree murder and manslaughter that the DT asked for and got...the sudden quarrel or heat of passion (a low level homicide which carries 7 - 21 years)."

JODI ARIAS SENTENCING SCENARIOS
Capital Case Sentencing Instructions, per the AZ Bar

If guilty of 1st degree murder

• we go into an aggravation phase (was the death caused in a cruel manner, did she know Travis would suffer)...the jury will deliberate a second time.
• jury decides life or death. If they find it was not cruel, they'd vote not guilty and the sentence would be life.
• if life, judge sets sentencing for 30 - 60 days; JUDGE will decide if she'll ever be eligible for parole...either LWOP or life and eligible for parole in about 25 years.
• if death (Jodi knew Travis would suffer), then we go into the sentencing phase...the DT would ask for leniency, the jury would deliberate a third time, then she will be sentenced immediately to death (sentenced immediately, not executed immediately). The jury COULD deadlock at this phase, there'd be a mistrial for that phase and there'd be a new jury for that phase only.

If guilty of 2nd degree murder

• the judge sentences her, to no less than 10 and no more than 22 years. JA would get credit for time served...4 1/2+ years. If the judge sentences on the lighter end, she could be out when she's 40.

Per Jingasaurus on HLN:
"I think even manslaughter may go to the jury. It's never used here I understand but there is a heat of passion manslaughter. So I think one question is will the defense ask for that and will the judge give that."

Timeline of Important Dates
Per Uncle Remus: "I posted that link further back in the thread somewhere and it's generally pretty good with the exception of this:

September 2006 Travis Alexander met Jodi Arias at a conference in Las Vegas. At the time, Alexander was a 30-year-old motivational speaker and legal-insurance salesman. Arias, then 28, was living in Yreka, Calif., and was trying to make it as a saleswoman and an independent photographer.

Jodi wasn't living in Yreka when she met Travis, she was living with Darryl Brewer in Palm Desert, CA, in the house she and Darryl bought together. Darryl testified to this earlier in the trial."

I was hoping someone would bring the drinks! I have a feeling we will need them by the end of the day.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Thank You Mare! You are awesome!!

I left you a response on the other thread.

But here is a thought for everyone. Why would you take a picture of your hurt finger at work? For evidence you injured it? But you wouldn't keep records of abuse or broken finger?

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial 2m
We should be treated to juror instructions before Juan starts his closing arguments. Counsel is still in chambers.

So much for starting promptly at 9:30 AZ time

[MaryAnnDVC]

Poll??? Will we eat up this thread just on jury instructions and closing arguments, or will we get to deliberations? Or should we do "how long will they deliberate (in 3 or 4 hour increments, up to...?) and then if we get to the next thread (which I think we will) should that poll be the guilty/acquittal options?

 

[sbtrfly74]

I think how long will jury deliberate work.

Hi Everyone! I am off today and tomorrow from work so I am hoping to be able to contribute to the thread in real time which is a nice change of pace.

Holy Cow last night's testimony went on forever especially for those us of who are limited to watching HLN. I hope the jurors and JM are rested and ready to go!! Justice for Travis!

Wow 7 threads, this has to be a DIS record. Thanks Mare!!

Jean Casarez just reported that it's been 80 years since Phoenix has sequestered a jury and the old court house had sequestration dormitories.
