Jodi Arias Answers Juror Questions

Jodi Arias has spent two weeks on the witness stand answering detailed questions from attorneys. Now…it’s the jury’s turn!!!

Arias was hammered with questions directly from the jury in her murder trial today. The questions focused on her actions on the day she killed her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander.

I guess Arizona is one of three states that allow the jury to ask questions of witnesses on the stand. I wasn’t aware of that!

From ABC News:

Questions posed by jurors to accused murderer Jodi Arias today showed skepticism toward many of Arias’ claims about her relationship with ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander and the alleged confrontation that resulted in his death.

Members of the jury submitted more than 100 questions to Judge Sherry Stephens after Arias finished testifying in direct and cross examination. Arias, 32, is charged with murder in Alexander’s death and could face the death penalty if convicted.

Casey Anthony Appealing Conviction

Lawyers for Casey Anthony are back in court in Florida today to appeal her four convictions for lying to the authorities. It seems that Anthony’s lawyers will argue that each of the lies should have been considered one offense.

More details at the link below.

From Reuters:

Anthony, 26, was convicted of lying to lead detective Yuri Melich when she said she left Caylee on or about June 9, 2008, with a nanny named Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez at the Sawgrass Apartments in Orlando.

She was also convicted of lying when she claimed she was employed at Universal Studios, had told Universal co-workers that Caylee was missing, and later received a phone call from Caylee.

Remember the Victims in Newtown, Connecticut

As a father, I still have no words for the unspeakable crime which took place last week at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

I’ve used Facebook and Twitter as an avenue for letting my feelings be known about the shooter, the media coverage and the members of Westboro Baptist Church. I’ve also seen the arguments for and against gun control.

For now, I hope that we can just remember the victims, including the children who were brutally murdered along with the heroic teachers, principal Dawn Hochsprung and psychologist Mary Sherlach.

That’s all I have to say for now. My emotions are still too strong to come up with any rational thoughts that I can put into words.
