Stephens denied the motion to not photograph #JodiArias in stripes, saying there have been many such photos.

Nurmi starts by objecting to photography of #JodiArias in jail clothes. Martinez says if jury sees her, they are violating admonition.

Martinez is opposing a stay because the case is 6 years old. #JodiArias @12news


Our lead lawyer today is David Bodney. He's arguing before Judge Stephens now. #JodiArias @12News


He's clarifying that we don't want a stay for the trial. We want a stay for the "secret" parts until we can get a ruling on legality @12News


: Bodney repeats that the closed sessions violate 1st Amendment, AZ Constitution and Arizona rules of Criminal Procedure. #JodiArias

 

[usnuzuloose]

: Bodney points out that closure is supposed to be narrow. Cites the usual grounds for injunction.

: It sets a bad precedent for press in future to conduct trial behind closed doors. Bodney. #JodiArias


Justice in all cases shall be conducted openly." AZ constitution. Argument to open #JodiArias to media/public

: Bodney: That's not damage to defendent, it's damage to public.

 

[usnuzuloose]

: We believe this is virtually unprecedented" to close the court during testimony. Atty arguing to open #JodiArias courtroom.

Bodney wraps up. Nurmi's turn to respond.


: Nurmi: if #JodiArias gets death, our (Nurmi and Wilmott) representation will get scrutinized for years.


State opposes media request, saying the #JodiArias case is six years old and they want to wrap it up

Nurmi believes Court of Appeals would hear our appeal on November 25th -- 3 weeks from now. He doesn't want to wait that long

Way too long.

: Nurmi says #JodiArias 's defense would be adversely impacted by a delay of this witness...whoever it is. @12News


Sounds like judge is asking Nurmi about him wanting to seal his entire case going forward. Could that happen? #JodiArias


udge asks if they can shift the witness schedule. Nurmi says no. #JodiArias @12news



: Nurmi says media is making light of #JodiArias trial rights. Says he can not rearrange witness schedule.

: Bodney says if it's not feasible to rearrange, then reconsider your closure order. No delays that way... #JodiArias @12News



Bodney: We understand they're worried about their performance being scrutinized. But this would go against 30+ years of Supreme Court law.


Bodney says press has a right that is violated when there is not a swift hearing to find grounds for closure. #JodiArias





: Bodney says Nurmi is arguing based on broadcasting trial. We're arguing a bigger issue...the openness of trial for EVERYONE. #JodiArias





Stephens is up.

 

[usnuzuloose]

: Stephens says she has indulged the public right to access to the trial.


: Stephens will give the court of appeals a transcript of the hearing in chambers to give THEM her reasoning.

She's agreeing calling witnesses out of order is too problematic. #JodiArias

Judge denies stay. Witness will stay secret for now. Media will appeal. Appeals court gets case 5pm. We may hear by Mon. #JodiArias

: Our stay is denied. Bodney is requesting a transcript of today's hearing as well. #JodiArias @12News

Stephens says there is minimal harm to the media and public because video and transcript will be available after trial. Denied. #JodiArias

enied, as expected. This was mostly to make a record for Court of Appeals. Had to have denial to get it there.#Arias
