I hadn't heard about the roommate coming home at 6:30 the day Travis was killed. Did the roommate get home at 6:30? And was Jodi's car there?

Don't know. But that is why she didn't have much time for allot of things.

Thank you for the heads up on this. My husband will have to go downstairs to watch Shark Tank.

Good morning everyone! I'm ready for another day of cross, but I have a feeling the defense team has already told JA to tone down her attitude, so it may not be as dramatic as Thursday was.

Unfortunately, we have to go furniture shopping tonight as soon as he gets home - we're in the process of deciding which sofa set to buy - so I'll miss testimony tonight again. I'll be counting on you all to fill me in!

If only it were that easy! We've narrowed it down to two sets, and he wants to go and sit in them both again before we decide.

GOOD MONDAY MORNING, EVERYONE!!!

Just looking around online at info regarding the verdict reading and imposing sentence.

http://www.azcourts.gov/PublicServices/CriminalLaw.aspx

Verdict

The foreman presents a written verdict to the judge, and either the judge or court clerk reads the jury’s verdict to the court. The court then enters a judgment based on the verdict, and the jury is released from duty.

If found not guilty, the defendant in a criminal case is released immediately. If the defendant is found guilty, a date is set for sentencing.

Sentencing
A sentencing hearing is scheduled to determine the punishment a convicted defendant will receive. The judge hears testimony from the prosecution and the defense regarding the punishment that each side feels the convicted defendant should receive.

In Arizona, the Legislature has established a range of sentences for different crimes, and the judge must impose a sentence within the range outlined by law. The options may include probation, fines, imprisonment or a combination of these punishments. In some cases, the death penalty can be imposed.

And from HLNTV:
http://www.hlntv.com/article/2013/02/13/arias-sentencing

Jodi Arias is doing something you won’t see very often, spending days on the witness stand, testifying in her own defense.

She has described in painstaking detail her relationships with men, particularly Travis Alexander who she killed in June 2008. She claims her former boyfriend was abusive and his killing was in self-defense.

The risk of answering tough questions from attorneys may be worth it. The prosecution is asking the jury to send Arias to death row for what it calls a brutal, cruel premeditated murder.

Once all the evidence is in — and that’s still about two weeks away — jurors will decide whether the state proved she committed first-degree murder. If they don’t think the prosecution did its job, Arias will be a free woman.

But if jurors think she is guilty, they will have more decisions to make.

First-degree murder:
If the jurors unanimously decide Arias is guilty of first-degree murder for Alexander’s death, the case would then move to the aggravation phase.

That is the prosecution’s chance to present additional evidence that the death was caused in a cruel manner. Arizona law defines it as when the victim suffers physical pain or mental anguish and the defendant knew or should have known that the victim would suffer.

The jury would then deliberate for a second time to determine if the aggravating factor of cruelty is proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

If the jury does not find her guilty of cruelty, the case ends and the judge sets a sentencing date within 30 to 60 days. At the sentencing, the judge decides whether to sentence Arias to natural life in prison or life with parole eligibility after 25 years.

But if the jury decides cruelty is proven beyond a reasonable doubt, the case moves to the sentencing phase.

This is the defense’s opportunity to ask the jury for leniency and present evidence to support why Arias should be spared the death penalty. Witnesses may include Arias’ friends and family. Arias could also make a statement to the jury.

The jury then deliberates for a third time to determine whether Arias should be sentenced to life or death. Their decision must be unanimous. In the case of a deadlock, a mistrial would be granted and a new jury would be chosen for this phase only.

If the jury votes for the death penalty, Arias would be sentenced immediately and she is likely to be sent to death row within hours. If the jury opts for a life sentence, the judge will set a sentencing date within 30 to 60 days and, at that time, will sentence Arias to natural life or life with eligibility for parole after 25 years.

Second-degree murder
If the jury rejects first-degree murder, but finds her guilty of the lesser charge of second-degree murder, the judge will sentence Arias to no less than 10 years and no more than 22 years in prison.

Arias will get credit for the four and a half years she has been incarcerated awaiting trial.

Thank you so much for posting all of this, MAR!!!

No, they're not allowed to talk to anyone including each other about this case until the judge instructs them to go into deliberations after the testimony concludes and the judge gives jury instructions.

Oh ok, thanks, UR!!!

This Friday NBC Dateline is going to be about this trial, starts at 7PM CST.
