Jodi Arias Trial Part 8 EXTREME CRUELTY: PROVEN

[MaryAnnDVC]

But why would this other person be afraid to testify?

Would you want to testify on Jodi's behalf before the world?

Honestly, I'm amazed how composed all these people who have testified have been, since Jan 2, especially when there's a camera showing their testimony to the world. I'd be an absolute wreck. If I had a choice, you bet I'd be saying "keep that camera off of me". I testified for about a minute for a friend in divorce court about 20 years ago. I think I looked like such a wreck the judge took pity on me and asked me the bare minimum..."name, how long have you known "A"".

@WildAboutTrial: Just saw one of the next witnesses, a past friend of #JodiArias went into a conference room beside the courtroom. Not sure her name.

This should of been sorted out long before this. I would say how can you say your a friend when you can't show your face. Jodi has a favor to return I am sure.

By the way, Arias's friend, Patricia, appeared on camera in a Dateline interview on March 1, 2013.

His hands were really rough. But why would this other person be afraid to testify?

Don't know how accurate this is but I read on the State vs. JA FB page that the friend has MS and that has something to do with why she doesn't want to appear on camera.

I do find it strange that she was just on television in the past few months regarding this case and now doesn't want to be. But, if it IS related to an illness, I don't blame her.

The more I sit here and think about it, JA probably asked her mother and family members not to speak on her behalf. That further props up the mitigating factor of "no family support". She couldn't claim that if she had 900 people up there saying what a wonderful daughter/sister/niece/cousin she was.

If it is related to that I could understand, but she was on air only a few months ago. I bet they cancel court for the remainder of the day.

Was just informed we were going to adjourn for the day. Deputy said we could go back in for 5 mins to dismiss the jury.

 

[Oreo Cookie]

Unable to continue, this is just ridiculous!

 

[Thumper_Man]

Well that just S---S!. Allows the defense team time to prepare all weekend now.

WTH????


Jeez.

 

[usnuzuloose]

DT does not look happy.

 

[crz4mm2]

For heavens sake! This has gone on long enough.
Holy Crap

 

[2Kds2K9]

OMG! If I was on the jury I'd be willing to insert the needle myself at this point. ARGH!!!!!!!! I really feel sorry for them. I'm sure they want to do their job as a juror, but I'm sure they want to get on with their lives as well and stop being jerked around.

Seriously??? How can they do this to poor Travise's family after hearing what this trial has done to the family and how they don't want to look at his murderer anymore.

This is just a travesty of a trail and such a cruel thing to do to his family.
