Morbitbuzz: 11/3-11/7/14- A mashup of Jodi news

11/3/14- 11/7/14

Jodi, you're looking rough girlfriend.

I don't think there was any huge trial stuff that happened this week. Mostly, it was just some back and forth between the lawyers. There was some stuff that happened outside the court, tho....

Here are the links of the twitter accounts that I read to get my Jodi news. I wanted to give lots of credit to the amazing people that actually do attend court and tweet about it.

So here we go...

It's a circus, Y'all!

Mama Arias made a video begging for money. I've heard that it's been taken down. If I find a copy, I will post it here.

Here's a letter that Mama Arias wrote to the judge. All I can say- Poor Nurmi!

Nov 3, 2014- This is the court of appeals. Nurmi and Juan are sitting side by side. David Bodney (attorney for the media) and his co counsel have arrived. A panel of 3 judges will hear this case.
David is speaking and the judges are allowed to interrupt and ask questions. David states this is unconstitutional to have a lock out. Juan states that the Alexandria's want this case over with. Nurmi wants this case closed to the public because of the death threats.

Judge Orozoo says he's troubled by this argument because witnesses could be harassed after trial
Nurmi complains he gets threats based on questions he asks..Judge O says it comes with territory
David asks court to step in and fix this. Judges state a ruling will be made and released today

The stay of secret testimony has been granted by the Arizona Court of Appeals

The media are allowed back in the courtroom!
Court is in session. Nurmi has nothing to add for the day....so court is in recess...again.

Nov 4, 2014, courts starts and the judge tells Nurmi to proceed. He says it's inappropriate for us to proceed. He doesn't want to call witnesses out of order. Juan says that the judge can make the defense proceed and that she should.

Yep!

Juan- what about the victims rights?
Juan- there are rules to follow and just because the defense doesn't like it- they can't sabotage the process
Nurmi says that Jodi's rights are superior. Nurmi now blames the media for everything. Then he blames Juan because Jodi is not getting a fair trial. The judge has decided to bring in the jury to dismiss them until Nov 12.

"Holy Hell. I hate these people"

On Nov 5, court started and went right to a sidebar.
Court starts back up, but a juror is missing. They call and say they are 15 minutes away (as if this trial doesn't have enough delays) The woman that handles the press got called into the judge's chambers. Apparently Jodi got filmed talking to someone at the defense's table and it was broadcast. Nurmi is angry. (I wonder if he is now on antidepressants because of this case?)

The juror that late now says they can't come in. Judge tells the others to come back Wed Nov 12, 2014.
