Legally Speaking: What is on tap next in the Jodi Arias case? By: Monica Lindstrom

The trial is scheduled to resume Tuesday with defense expert Robert Geffner testifying. The jury was told there would be three days (yes, a whole three days) of trial this week, though I'm not holding my breath. As I have said before, this trial is unpredictable.

Let's pray that this circus moves forward and comes to an end soon!  





The first being whether the Arizona Supreme Court will accept Nurmi's appeal of the Court of Appeals decision allowing the media and the public to be present during Arias' testimony. The Supreme Court denied the request to keep Arias' late October testimony secret but it hasn't made a decision about the underlying issue of whether she can continue to testify in secret/private.

What legal Right does the convicted murderer, fame seeking, liar, ja have to testify in secrecy?  The COA denied Nurmi's motion for ja to testify in secrecy so Nurmi cried his way to the Arizona Supreme Court.  It looks like ja's DT have the same problem that their murderous client ja has, not accepting "NO" for an answer.  Hopefully, "The Arizona Supreme Court" will hurry up and deny Nurmi's motion and this retrial of the sentencing phase will move forward.  The sooner it moves forward the closer it ends.
