I'm anxious to hear what the argument is for closing the court room to the public and media. Jodi's safety can't be a factor, heck, she's locked up from the public.

That is what I am wondering also, she is the one making threats against people. But I guess that is okay for jodi to do, but throw a temper tantrum and you get what you want.

: In a motion for stay as in a motion for injunction, you have to prove four things: 1. irreparable damage to the person requesting;

2. minimal damage to the person opposing; 3. likelihood of prevailing on the merits; and 4. It's in the public interest. #JodiArias

#JodiArias court of appeals almost ready

This hearing is only for the motion to stay Judge Stephens' order that the courtroom be sealed while the motion for special action proceeds.

 

[usnuzuloose]

The media is only asking that the secret testimony be stopped, not the #JodiArias trial pending resolution of the bigger issue.

I just have to vent: There is some fool on Beth Karas' FB saying this hearing is something major as in in they've found the gun and/or Jodi Arias is making a full confession. Gawd, where do these people come from?

#JodiArias embarrassed??? Wait a cotton picking minute

9: Judge asks attorney if he could envision a criminal court case that would need to be closed. He explains yes and describes why #jodiarias

[usnuzuloose]

Public's trust in the judicial system is threatened if trial is closed to public, #JodiArias media attorney says


But, Bodney says, this case has gone on for 6 years, millions spent. "Maybe the defendant would like to present her entire case in secret."

Court of appeals hears argument and rules later. #JodiArias

: #JodiArias trial shouldn't take place under shroud of secrecy, media attorney says.
