Jodi Arias asks group to cease using her name to collect funds

PHOENIX (KSAZ) - A group collecting money for Jodi Arias' defense has released a recording of a conversation with Arias. In the phone call, Arias asks a different group to stop using her name to collect money.

This is the first time we've heard her voice since first trial.

Despite being convicted of killing Travis Alexander, Jodi Arias still has a legion of supporters.  Some of them are even raising money for her defense.

"I want the collection of money to stay within my family," said Arias in a recorded jail house phone call posted on JodiAriasIsInnocent.com.  In the call, Arias demands a different web site stop raising money in her name.

"Someone had told her that you had said online last night that I was supportive of the site and I don't want to give people that impression because I can't support the site right now as long as you guys are collecting money," said Arias.

Arias tells the woman she wants all donations to go to the fund being run by her family.

"The problem is that when people donate to a cause they believe in, they wanna know where the money is gonna go.  But at this point, they don't know where it's gonna go unless they donate to the trust.  It can only go there."

In a separate development, the court corrected an error on documents recently released, which stated Arias was asking that an investigator visit the scene of the bloody murder.  The court said Arias never actually made that request -- instead she asked to have access to evidence in the custody of the Mesa Police Department.

Her sentencing retrial will begin on September 29.

Jodi Arias has some nerve asking anyone to stop collecting money in her name when she HAS been using Travis Alexander's name, (the man that she murdered), to sell what her supporters are saying is her artwork.  The artwork being sold by Jodi Arias's supporters on a website may not be the work of Jodi Arias.  

Media seeks camera coverage of Arias retrial

By BRIAN SKOLOFF

PHOENIX (AP) — Video footage of Jodi Arias' Sept. 29 penalty phase retrial should be allowed to be broadcast 30 minutes after the end of each day's proceedings to afford the public their constitutional right to witness criminal trials, a media lawyer argued Monday.

Arias was convicted of murder last year in the 2008 killing of her ex-boyfriend at his suburban Phoenix home, but jurors couldn't decide on her sentence. The retrial will determine if she gets the death penalty or life in prison.

Arias' first trial was broadcast live, but Judge Sherry Stephens denied that right this time around, ruling that no footage could be broadcast until after the verdict.

Several local television stations are arguing that Stephens' ruling is too restrictive and creates constitutional violations.

"For many people, access to the day's proceedings ... will be their only means of attending trial which is their constitutional right," media lawyer David Bodney told the judge.

Prosecutor Juan Martinez did not object, noting that Arias has sought media coverage herself, offering interviews before, during and after the trial, and that the defense is just seeking "to manage or attempt to control what's going out on the air waves."

Arias' attorneys argue the less restrictive media rules would hamper her right to a fair trial.

Defense lawyer Kirk Nurmi said that the motion is simply a desire by the media "to exploit this trial for profit."

The defense called no witnesses during Arias' first penalty phase, in part because her attorneys said some had been threatened and refused to testify.

If the judge amends her ruling and allows footage to be broadcast at the end of each day, Nurmi argued, some witnesses may "be harassed and threatened in the evening and may not want to come back."

The judge did not immediately rule.

PHOENIX (Reuters) - An Arizona judge on Monday granted a request by convicted murderer Jodi Arias to stop representing herself in a retrial to determine whether she will be executed for killing her ex-boyfriend at his Phoenix-area home in 2008.

Judge Sherry Stephens ruled that effective immediately Arias' former attorneys will resume taking the lead in the sentencing phase retrial of the closely watched case in Maricopa County Superior Court.

Stephens cautioned that Arias could not change her mind again and that she understands her legal defense would again be in the hands of attorneys Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmott, before the judge approved the request.

Arias, 34, had been her own attorney for about five weeks after repeated conflicts with her legal team. Nurmi and Willmott had remained as advisory counsels.

The judge's decision comes as jury selection is set to start on Sept. 29 in a case that has attracted nationwide interest. The original trial was broadcast live and viewed by tens of thousands of people. That will not be the case with the retrial of the penalty phase.

On Monday, Stephens took under advisement a request by five local television stations to broadcast the proceedings 30 minutes after the Phoenix-based court adjourns for the day. She had ordered that no broadcasts would be allowed until after the retrial had been concluded.

Arias was convicted of killing Travis Alexander in his home last year. His body was found slumped in the shower, stabbed multiple times and his throat slashed. He also was shot in the head.

Jurors found Arias eligible for the death penalty but were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on execution.

If the jury deadlocks again, a judge will sentence Arias to spend either her natural life in prison or life with the possibility of parole after 25 years.   

Also on Monday, Arias put up for auction on her website a pair of the glasses she says she wore during her 2013 trial testimony. Bidding starts at $500 and the sale is to due to end at midnight on Sept. 24.

"Get ready to own a one-of-a-kind piece of history," the website says, adding that all the proceeds will be donated to an undisclosed Phoenix-based non-profit.

ja's glasses are up for sale. Another $cam about where the said profits are going to?

My questions pertaining to Jodi Arias selling the glasses/frames that she wore during her trials: 

1.  If the taxpayers of Arizona paid for these glasses/frames, why is Jodi Arias being allowed to sell the glasses/frames?  

2.  If Jodi Arias needs to wear glasses, wouldn't it be less expensive for them to remove the glass from the frame and replace the glass with glass that could help her vision?  

3.  Why did Jodi Arias state that she is not profiting from her First Degree Murder conviction when it is clear that she has been and still is doing so? 

 

The name Jodi Ann Arias will "always" be affiliated with her committing First Degree Murder.  In this "sale's pitch," it clearly states that this is "A One of a Kind Piece of History."  Besides the fact that Jodi Arias committed First Degree Murder of an ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander, her history prior to her having murdered him in cold blood is irrelevant.  It's irrelevant because before Jodi Arias murdered Travis Alexander, she hadn't done anything and/or sold anything that made her stand out in her own community, let a lone make headlines like she has since she murdered Travis Alexander.  

It is my opinion and the opinion of many people around the World that Jodi Arias is using the heinous crime of premeditated First Degree Murder that she committed to profit from her having murdered an innocent man.  Her selling her glasses is NOT her first, second, third, etc...attempt to advertise and sell things since she was convicted of First Degree Murder.  Jodi Arias has even gone so far as to advertise the sale of some "artwork" in her victim's name, Travis Alexander.  

Below this site, endorsed by Jodi Arias and her family, states that everyone interested in "bidding" for the glasses that she wore during her trials are required to make a $250 bid registration payment via Paypal, no exceptions.  The starting bid for her glasses is:  $500.  The auction will last ten days.  The site states that the proceeds will to a Phoenix-based non-profit.

4.  Where have we heard this before?  That the proceeds from the sales of:  the Survivor Tee Shirts; the artwork that she allegedly drew that she was selling in Travis Alexander's name; these glasses, etc...are ALL going to non-profit organizations and/or charities.  What non-profit organizations and/or charities are any of the sales from these items going to?  

During different interviews done by different members of the media with Jodi Arias, Jodi Arias specifically states that the money from sales of her artwork belongs to her and her family.  The website that Jodi Arias and her family endorses states that the sales from her artwork does NOT go into "The Appellant Trust Fund" that her Aunt Susan Halterman set up for Jodi Arias.  In another article Jodi Arias stated that the sales from the "Survivor tee shirts" were donated to Yreka, California, women's abuse shelter.  There has been no verification that any donations have been made by Jodi Arias or her family to any non-profit organizations and/or charities.  It's all been word of mouth.         

Jodi Arias is not only a Murderer in the First Degree.  Jodi Arias is a LIAR!!!  PLEASE DO NOT DONATE, BUY, OR CONTRIBUTE TO THIS FEMALE THAT COMMITTED PREMEDITATED FIRST DEGREE MURDER!!!     

There are innocent people convicted of crimes that they didn't commit in the USA, but Jodi Ann Arias is NOT one of the innocent ones.  

The innocent man's family who she brutally murdered deserves Justice for their beloved brother.  

IF Jodi Arias is remorseful for murdering Travis Alexander, she has yet to prove it.  To make sure that Travis Alexander's family/loved ones don't get a dime of the moneys that Jodi Arias and her Aunt Sue Halterman are receiving, receiving the money due to the fact that Jodi Arias murdered Travis Alexander, they are giving out very little to almost no information as to where the moneys that Jodi Arias has made due to her murdering Travis Alexander are going to.  

JA's leaves a trail behind online of her narcissistic behavior and her obsession with TA.

http://travisalexander.blogspot.com

Below are JA's comments that she wrote on Travis Alexander's Blog.  As always, the narcissistic person that JA is, rears it's ugly head, and she gets caught in yet another lie that she's told.  Travis Alexander stated "friends" being plural and does not "mention" JA...as she thinks by his saying "fantastic visionary friends" is about her.

This same narcissistic female went back and forth, trying to cause a fight between herself and Travis Alexander, shortly before she went to his home and murdered him because he gave recognition to another female friend of his for helping him on his book and not JA.    Here she gives him propts by claiming that he mentioned her in his blog.  He either mentioned her or he didn't.  JA can't have it both ways.  She is a "textbook" liar.

JA's obsessive behavior is everywhere via internet, when it comes to Travis Alexander.  She left a trail behind on her blog and her Myspace account that shows a woman obsessed with an ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander.

Judge should lift the blackout on Jodi Arias trial

The "secretive" hearings are causing chaos for the media and for the public that has been trying to follow this case.  What is really going on behind "locked" doors that we aren't being told?  JA is being allowed to communicate from jail, via phone and mail, to and from her family and supporters, that are repeating her messages via the internet, but Judge S.S. has locked the doors to the public and to the media from attending hearings.  Why is Judge S.S. allowing JA to do a tell all to her family and supporters, that post what she tells them, but is not allowing the media and public inside of the courtroom to hear both sides of this case?  

The damage is being done, but JA is the cause behind ALL of the damage that has/is being done.  The media has no knowledge of what goes on behind closed doors except for what JA leaks to her family and supporters.

JA requested that her PI be allowed to review the evidence that is contained at the Mesa Police Department.  The original entry stated that Judge S.S. was allowing JA's PI access to Travis Alexander's old home.

What is a Narcissistic Sociopath? Defining JA.

A narcissistic sociopath is someone with a combination of narcissistic personality disorder and definitive behavioral signs of sociopathy. People with narcissism are characterized by their excessive and persistent need for others' admiration and positive reinforcement. They generally have grandiose opinions of themselves and believe they are superior to other people. Narcissists are also frequently convinced that they are above the normal responsibilities and obligations of everyday life, so they usually have significant difficulties maintaining employment or relationships as a result. The narcissistic sociopath has this type of personality along with a noticeable lack of regard for the rights of others and a tendency to regularly violate those rights.

One noted difference between a narcissistic sociopath and people with narcissism alone is that the narcissist with the sociopathy reacts strongly and sometimes even violently to negative feedback. True sociopaths generally do not respond to criticism or care what others may think of them. A narcissistic sociopath is unable to tolerate criticism and needs constant praise, as well as deference from other people. Many with this condition present themselves in the best light possible and are able to easily charm others to gain their trust.

A definite characteristic of a narcissistic sociopath is a tendency to view others not as fellow human beings, but rather as tools or means to an end. If certain other people are deemed unable to further the narcissistic sociopath's given agenda, they are normally cast aside. People diagnosed with this type of personality disorder usually do not have boundaries when it comes to manipulating and victimizing others if doing so will lead to their own benefit. This behavior trait can usually make romantic relationships with a narcissistic sociopath particularly destructive emotionally, mentally, and often financially. Many former spouses or partners of these individuals report that recovering from the relationship can take a long time.

Causes of narcissism are commonly attributed to abusive or dysfunctional early years, although some psychologists claim that specific biological differences in brain chemistry may also be partially to blame. Exact causes of sociopathic behavior are similarly subject to debate. When these two personality conditions coexist in the same person, some mental health professionals report that treating narcissism often yields better results than most attempts to treat sociopathy. Others maintain that most narcissistic sociopaths are largely untreatable through any kinds of established therapies, so the most that society can do is establish protective measures against these individuals' destructive behaviors.

George Barwood and Jason Weber go head to head over who has control of JA's money.

If you've ever been in one of George Barwood's Facebook groups you know that he claims to know everything there is about JA's case and the Paypal Account.  Regardless as to what Paypal Address(es) is/are being used for any/all of the transactions, whether it be from the sales of the artwork, sales of the bands, bracelets, etc...George Barwood can ONLY assume that he knows where said money is going to after it is sent to the Paypal Account(s).
