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

[gemini2727]

unbelievable, the thought of one hold-out was bad enough, but three not-guilty votes??? What more did they want than the words right out of her mouth??

Anyone watching the live stream now? It's pretty hilarious. They don't seem to know that the microphone is on.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

And now that they're talking to the defense attorney you can barely hear him.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

gemini2727, I'm guessing they wanted an investigation that wasn't shoddy, leading to potentially contaminated evidence that gave them enough doubt.

Did the prosecution already say they'd retry? It's hard to hear this interview (sound just got better) but it sounds like they did.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

Now they're saying IF there's a third trial, so I don't know. I would think the prosecution really needs to look closely at the police investigation to see if it's worth it. The defense is saying that they have proof that witnesses lied on the stand so that's one more thing that would be an issue for the prosecution in a third trial.

It may have been those hold out jurors asked themselves if not for the police using Dippolito's boyfriend as they did (under coercion/and illegal) would Dippolito have carried out hiring a hitman? Over and over she presented her own argument against it to include she thought the hitman would burglarize her house.

I just woke up and heard, wow 3-3. Did they say when a new trial date would be set?

 

[usnuzuloose]

Sounds like they want a new trial again. They don't want to let her off the hook.

Court's in recess until Jan 6.

At least that is not to far off

WOW! 3-3 split, didn't see that coming.
I bet they drop it, How much did this fiasco cost the state? Now another one on top of that?

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

I wish Vinny Politan, Nancy Grace and other lawyers/commentators would actually discuss all the aspects of a case, instead of taking a side...the guilty side. And I hate to even say that because I was most certainly on the side of believing then and now that Casey Anthony killed Caylee and was outraged by the jury and the verdict. The one person I've ever seen who really analyzes all aspects of a case is Joey Jackson, and I haven't seen him in forever. I need to do some unfollowing on Facebook (Vinnie, Nancy). There's been a whole lot of that going on lately anyway!

Have any of the jurors spoken publicly about this deadlock today? One of the things about the Casey Anthony trial was that when the two jurors did speak out, they didn't sound particularly bright. I think this case had a hell of a lot more doubt than the Casey Anthony trial.

I know! I actually tweeted to Vinnie a couple of times about how biased he was being during the Harris trial, the lack of objectivity is so irritating! No response of course. I can't even watch those shows anymore, I get so aggravated...

That's just for a status report.

WOW! 3-3 split, didn't see that coming.

And this is the second one so it would be another one on top the two. Maybe they'll offer her a plea deal.

Haven't seen any news agency saying they have an exclusive or a bombshell.
Where's Nancy Grace when ya need her?

I know! I actually tweeted to Vinnie a couple of times about how biased he was being during the Harris trial, the lack of objectivity is so irritating! No response of course. I can't even watch those shows anymore, I get so aggravated...

Oh my gawd, that Dr Joyce was absolutely unreal on Vinnie's morning show during the Harris trial.
He did have a defense investigator who was pretty good, can't remember his name.

I know, she just spouted nonsense! And I agree, the defense guy was the only one with any sense, lol.

The Today Show interviewed her:

And it'll be Friday night's Dateline.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Mike did speak out also about the mistrial. I hope they try again. They got a conviction once.

With the war that has been declared on Law Enforcement right now, my thought is they will have a hard time convicting her at this time in our country.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

I stopped watching Vinny Politan in the morning during the Harris trial because of that Dr Joyce. OMG, beyond annoying. She had it all figured out that Ross Harris was disconnected from his son because he referred to him as my boy and not by his name, or something like that. Whaaatt? I sometimes call my son my boy, and he's 23. It's a term of endearment for me. I don't do it in front of other people and I don't know what I would do if I was, God help me, mourning him. I suppose I would call him whatever came naturally in my grief. Geez.

I don't know if the current situation with law-enforcement really affected this trial, in the sense that without it she would have been convicted. They seem to suggest that it did. Shoddy investigations often come up in trials...that's how doubt is introduced as to the validity of the evidence. And in this trial, there was a whole bunch of crazy crap going on, even with the limited testimony I saw. Not recording ALL the phone calls the informant made because the lead investigator didn't work 24/7 and couldn't let his recorder be used by somebody else?? The whole Cops show connection was just crazy, on top of that. It just made the investigators look too eager to snare someone.
