The FINAL (?!) Jodi Arias thread (Penalty Phase retrial verdict)

[MaryAnnDVC]

I came in late on the episode, but did anyone watch 20/20 tonight? It was about Rosalie Bolin who left her prominent lawyer husband and 4 young daughters (her husband got custody of the girls) to marry convicted imprisoned rapist/murderer Oscar Ray Bolin, who murdered 3 women in Tampa in the 80's. He was sentenced to death for each of the 3 murders. I don't remember exactly what the story was, but I know he got new trials, thanks to Rosalie, and was again convicted and again received the death penalty.

There are new hearings coming up in the next few weeks...there are questions about evidence due to FBI scandals and apparently a confession by someone else in one of the murders. (Bolin did admit to a rape somewhere else, after these murders, and served time for that crime.) BUT...the reason I, and maybe some of you, are familiar with Rosalie Bolin is because she was on the defense team for Casey Anthony. I'm not sure for how long or in what capacity (jury selection?), but I remember we talked about her on that thread. It will be interesting to see how those hearings turn out...he might get new trials AGAIN. If his convictions stand, I hope they execute him and get it over and done with. I believe he's guilty as all sin. Rosalie says she'll still fight the convictions even after he's executed, if he is.

When asked about the fact that leaving her family to marry someone on death row would have to have affected her daughters, she replied that they were so small at the time that she didn't think it would hurt them. ? Her daughter Katherine made a film about it, which includes visiting her "step-father" in prison to meet him for the first time and interview him. The documentary is called It's Nice to Finally Meet You, which might be on youtube or the 20/20 website...I'm not sure.

Meanwhile, the pain that the families of those murdered are going through, again, must be unbearable. One family member of one victim believes Rosalie Bolin is a sociopath and I agree.

Thanks Mar, I'm going to look for the 20/20 episode OnDemand tonight.
I watched the Reelz show last night about Arias, I wish we would have heard from more jurors.
Reelz has some interesting shows for sure.

Thank you! Never heard of that channel, but I guess I will have to channel surf….

Its channel 176 on Comcast if that helps.

Sadly that's my routine, I have nothing to do or no where to be yet, I am awake.
But aren't you in California? I think you are up super early too.

Wow. Shocked, but probably shouldn't be. I think there are going to be many many more people outed. I bet there are quite a few people quaking in their boots waiting for the **** to hit the fan.

I have less of a problem with Jeff Ashton's involvement than I do with Josh Duggar. Jeff Ashton isn't going around wagging his finger at and denigrating whole groups of people while presenting himself as morally superior, like Josh Duggar did.

To me I look at it as the same, he cheated on his wife and he is a public figure as well.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

Not for me. Nowhere near the same. Jeff Ashton didn't put himself out there as the epitome of godliness and moral superiority, work for an organization like the Family Research Council to prevent the rights of marriage and children...the rights that Josh Duggar held up as his very purpose in life...to the whole population of gay Americans, and with his whole self-righteous family, set back women's roles, and fought against the transgendered community.

Jeff Aston has not admitted to cheating on his wife. Doesn't mean what he did was right, but way more than I believe with Josh Duggar, I believe that's between Jeff Ashton and his wife. Yes, he's a public figure, and should be held to a higher standard than your average citizen, and it's very disappointing, but nothing appears illegal at this point. But with Josh Duggar, it's the whole package of who he is...molested his sisters, involved with porn since at least 2004, cheated on his wife, while at the same time playing the part of someone so religious, so GOOD, that he wagged his finger at people for who they were born to be, and WORKED to prevent their rights.

 

[lorimay]

I saw a headline where Josh Duggar's wife Anna says, "she is partially responsible for Josh's actions". WHAAAA........ I can't even wrap my head around her taking any responsibility for his actions. There she is home raising her kids, pregnant through most of their marriage and he's out doing God knows what and she blames herself?!?!? This is that part of their religious belief that the husband is the boss and rules the roost. I can't with that philosophy, I believe that you respect and treat your partner and they do the same for you equally. There is no superior being in the household.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Don't get me wrong, I am not defending what Josh did was right. No matter what anyone is working in it wrong to be on those sites period. It affects everyone. Weather they are christians, people in office, whom ever. It has devastating effects on everyone. But they all reap what they sew at some point. I am glad Ashton admitted to it and hope it has no long term effect on his family or his position.

And no this is Josh's wife fault. She did nothing to cause this. I hope she goes and gets some counseling outside of the family where she can be herself and talk about the issue freely with out feeling threatened by the family.

All I am saying is no one should be on these sites for any purpose. It causes pain to everyone involved.

Awwe man, this is the second time I have rammed my toes into a big sign……..

If this trial is aired, I'll watch.

I think his trial starts in April of next year. It does look good.

Definitely! I think with this one, it's going to be "Yeahhh, she's ****ty, but..." vs "she broke the law", KWIM?

I think his trial starts in April of next year. It does look good.

I might have to plan my foot surgeries around these trials...have an excuse to park my *** again.

 

[usnuzuloose]

They should both be interesting. I am looking forward to hear the guy who AH shot in the face at his next trial.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

Gotta agree with this decision, but geez, is there NOTHING that girl doesn't win?
