Juror’s Question Concerning

/in /by

I have to admit that I have had little time to watch the Jodi Arias trial.  I typically try to tune into 20-30 minutes of HLN at night to catch up on the trial.  When I watched the other night and I heard one juror was taking notes, and the rest weren’t, it concerned me that there may be one juror who could be believing Jodi’s story. The behavior of that one juror was a standout.  See yesterday’s post for more info.

On Facebook, one of my readers “Alex K” saw my post from yesterday, and then linked to this video above and wrote, “Perhaps it was that very juror who submitted the questions starting at 15:08, as soon as I heard the judge read that question and the few following it I had a feeling one of the jury members was on her side. It’s just unreal.”

It’s very unreal and mortifying.

Jodi Arias and Juror Questions

/in , /by

Yesterday the jurors got to ask their questions to Jodi Arias in the court and it was said there were more than 156 questions–some of which were objected to.  However, on CNN, one of the correspondents covering the trial said something noteworthy to me.  She said that most of the jurors were NOT taking notes, but that one in specific was.

This has significance to me.

When there is disagreement in a group, and the group gets a chance to get clarification, the person who is the standout is the one who has to defend their position.  That person is going to be the most likely to “take notes” of comments to support their argument.  I mean let’s face it, if you are in the consensus, and the majority of you feel the same, would you feel the need to take notes when you feel understood?  Probably not. But if you are the lone man out, you certainly would. 

This gives me great concern that there is at least one hold out juror on this jury who may believe Jodi was a victim of abuse!!

I think the jury, if they were all in agreement, would still ask questions, but I don’t think they would ask as many as they are asking because they would feel they have a good understanding of the truth.

It appears to me that the insightful jurors see that there is potential disagreement among them, and they needed to ask very clear and concise questions to get the one (or possibly more) jurors to see the truth.

I have to say this makes me quite nervous and I hope I am wrong!! Or I hope the ones who see the truth prevail with these questions and get the hold out to see the truth.

Jodi Arias lies constantly.  It is a rare moment when she says something truthful and to think there are believers, its mind-boggling to me.

Update:  In Facebook discussions, it was brought up that jurors are not supposed to talk about the trial until deliberations, and while I understand this, I do not think you can interact with other members of the jury for 9 weeks and not have a pretty good idea of where people stand in general on this case. Juror are allowed to talk about other topics over lunches, recesses, etc.  So I am firm believer the jurors have a pretty good understanding of whose buying Jodi’s story and who isn’t…

One Readers Thoughts On Jodi Arias…

…caught my eye.  I thought his words and dissection of Jodi Arias’ trial are spot on, and beautiful written. Thank you, Milton Wah, for sharing this!

“Her pathology rivals the Great Narcissus, himself. She is drunk on the attention, twirling cartwheels in the spotlight.


We are circus-loving creatures, here in the stadium seats. It is in our DNA to grant the villain a final moment in the center ring, before the Thumb of Caesar drops upon her head, and one more vanquished heel is turned to dust.”

I love this! Thanks, Milton.
