Jodi Arias Trial Part 8 EXTREME CRUELTY: PROVEN

[showmeman]

I have the right to be angry at them for not finishing their job and as I stated before I don't care if you or anybody else agrees with me. I can state how I feel about this just like anyone else can, I am not gonna apologize for being passionate about this trial.

Oh and religion and personal beliefs ARE NOT a reason for why this jury can say no to a death verdict and it be ok, because they were ALL asked before the trial started "Could you give the Death Penalty?", so if you could not because of religious rules they mark they should of marked no on their questionnaire.

I personally hope that religion and/or personal beliefs were not the reason that any of the 4 people that said no did so, because if it was then they lied on their questionnaire and their lie did nothing, but cause pain for TA's family in the end!

I never said they should be physically harmed or anything like that as you and others seem to be implying, I would never say that and I have not.

However, if they lied on their questionnaire and KNEW the whole time that they COULD NOT render the DP on a case this massive & important, that has gone on this long and cost this much money to BOTH the state and Travis's own family then some blame falls on them. Those people could have and should have asked off the case, knowing that when it came to this stage they could not properly, or fairly do their job.

Oh and don't to tell me what to do, do I tell what you should think or feel and/or how you should act? No, so don't tell or suggest what I should do in regards to this case or anything else for that matter. I don't appreciate that one bit.

I suspect that the mitigation penalty phase is extremely subjective to each person. What you would consider proper mitigation for allowing Jodi Arias to live would not be the same as another person. I don't think 4 jurors decided they couldn't sentence JA to death. Rather, they each found some mitigation factor that the others did not agree were enough of a mitigation factor to allow JA a life sentence. I think that each side tried their best to come to agreement but couldn't.

As non-jurors, it's much easier to make a up or down vote based on the feelings of your knowledge of the case. But these jurors had to go through each mitigation factor presented to them by the defense and either say it was a worthy mitigation factor or not. 4 found some mitigation. 8 did not.

Here is the quote:

"like no other.George Zimmerman?"

I changed the period color to red. Those are TWO DIFFERENT thoughts. Mare said "George Zimmerman?" In reference to hereyago posting "George Martinez".

No one is bullying you. Stop trying to start arguments when their are none. We have been through 8 threads about this trial and have never had problems until today.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone needs to just calm down, we are all upset about the non decision today, but that is no reason to start being snarky to at each other.

It's a very ambiguous statement. I thought it was a comparison of JA to GZ. I misunderstood the context.

At 23:35:10 EST* on Thursday, 23 May 2013 the waxing moon's phase was 98.53% full. (Or, to be more precise, 98.530221539567% full.)

So, there you go.

I knew it!

My post is not about mitigation factors. Pebbles was talking about religion and personal beliefs like those were ok reasons for someone to not give death in this phase. Both should be a non-factor because this entire jury was asked and if they could give death before the trial and they said yes, meaning if that was not the case because of their religion or personal beliefs they should have NEVER checked yes to that question or been on the jury.

At the least that person could asked off the case before this trial got to this phase if that was the case knowing full well they could not fairly judge life vs death because they could not give Death because of their own religion or personal beliefs.

Something else from The State vs. Jodi Arias Facebook page:

When asked why she was doing a headstand in the interrogation room after being arrested for murder, Jodi Arias said she was admiring the carpet and thinking "I will probably never be in a room with carpet again"... and that she "liked doing headstands on carpet".

Twilight Zone! It most certainly does.

Psst...the posts I quoted and commented on were left out of that post; that's the way it works...you read just my responses. Here's my OP (that means "original post" )...


Bully. LOL

Oh, yeah, we (I) should not be snarky, but you can bash me. Get lost. You are behaving like a bully. Sorry but it's a fact.

I saw them say this earlier on HLN too. I don't know if I should laugh at how dumb that is or cringe at how crazy that is.

Odd is an understatement!

Pigletgirl, get rest. I am so glad you are home. Bite the tootsies, that is always fun.... Can't wait for the pics.

Well not only excitement in Arizona, We just had a 5.7 earthquake here, which is rare. No damage, I am so used to them.

I think it is heart breaking for the Alexanders the most. This trial has made all of us punchy. But you know with all the smugness and smirk she really cried for herself today and must really be realizing how real this is for her.


I guess it is peace enough that she is really scared of what may still be her fate. This may wake her up to reality. I have to accept what came in. But we will see what happens next.

We would like to proudly announce the arrival of our daughter, Charlotte Grace! She made her dramatic debut at 1:19pm weighing in at 6lbs 13oz and 19 inches long. Piglet is sore and tired but she did an awesome job.

More photos and updates to come from Piglet herself. For now she's resting up and enjoying our new daughter. Everyone is healthy!

Piglet's Husband

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to piglet and piglet's husband!!!!!

 

[momrek06]

Quick update: got home this afternoon. Charlotte is adjusting well so far. She loves to eat and doesn't like to be put down. Family is here now, and as soon as I get a chance i will update with pics. Heard about today, well at least there will be a fresh set of ears.

Hope all is well with everyone.

WONDERFUL NEWS!!!!!!

LOVED TO SEE PICS!!!!!

You know, JA is probably in her cell thinking she got her way not getting death, she is probably convinced she can "get her way" with the next jury.

usnuz, I hope you are all ok? Where exactly was it? We are not in CALI but on the East coast. Was it felt in So CAL as well?

Nope, look at the video I posted above. I think she will be more shocked than ever.

No , not felt in Southern Ca. I am used to them I have lived through the bigger ones. No damage. It shook about 10 seconds. I told my DH , we are having an earthquake. He said we did? But when you live through them, it really doesn't phase you.

I will pull forward a video that someone from the prison put together. It is worth watching. Thanks for thinking about me.
