A family home disrupted

A year and some months after JA was convicted of brutally murdering her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander, JA has been granted permission, by Judge SS, for a PI to have access to Travis's home where JA brutally murdered him six years ago.  The home has been renovated and a family has lived in the home since the home was put on the market a year after Travis Alexander's death.  The family living in the home does NOT want the publicity.  They just want the home they bought and have lived in for approximately five years, to be a home.  They thought that when they purchased the home that all of the evidence taken prior to them buying the home had been settled and that they'd be able to live in the home without future disruptions.  

JA and her attorneys have access to the crime scene photos taken inside of the home and photos of the outside of the home.  Why does JA want "information" of the home that has been renovated since she murdered Travis inside of it?  The upcoming trial is not a retrial to show proof of innocence or guilt.  It is a retrial of the sentencing phase that ended in the jury being deadlocked.  What is JA trying to prove in the sentencing phase of this trial by wanting access to the home?  There are no mitigating factors on the inside/outside of the home that JA can use to get a lessor sentence.  She is NOT legally allowed to try and prove her innocence or guilt during the sentencing phase of a trial.  The retrial of the sentencing phase is supposed to ONLY pertain to "reasons" why JA should get a lessor sentence than LWOP or the DP.  I don't see how her PI being allowed to disrupt the homeowners lives can be used as a mitigating factor.  I can see how the prosecution, Juan Martinez, could use her disrupting yet more lives, to prove the lengths that JA will go to to manipulate the system and torment innocent people.

IMO, Judge S. S. should NOT have allowed such a request.  Judge S. S. is supposed to be the person in charge of these proceedings and not allow neither the prosecution or the defense team to be granted such "ludicrous" requests.  

In the end, everything that JA is doing backfires on her.  I'm sure that this will backfire on her as well.
