Jodi's torment will go on.
Maybe she can break up Steven Alexander's marriage?
Or some other sibling's marriage?
Maybe she can make some of them lose their homes because they are not working!
Maybe she can break some of their minds, having to live thru those details again!

OH if EVER there was a place in HELL for someone ... isn't it this *itch??

What a filthy, arrogant, disgusting creature.

THANK YOU GOD for the Murder 1 verdict, and that it was a heinous slaughter too!

Onward and upward!

They will probably not go to the presser.

June 20th status conference.

Now there is no presser with the jurors and Juan won't make a statement either.

Donavan's on Nancy Grace. She's annoyed that she and JA's family weren't in court when the verdict was read! I can see why she's friends with Jodi. She's heartless also.

I'm glad they weren't there to celebrate in front of the Alexanders.

I wonder if the juror that looked like Jodi's mother was talked into Murder 1?
However that verdict came down, I am grateful. That's the big one ... to me!

Then when it happened again, like the penalty phase now, she said to herself - "You did it to me once, you won't do it to me again!" and dug in her heels!! I don't know why I have that feeling... Maybe it's from Jean C. comments about her body language at different times, etc.

At least she didn't win BIG like Casey Anthony did!!

WHERE will IT live while this next phase happens? Perryville I hope? SHE IS a convicted MURDERER!! Anyone know?

Nancy Grace's show BEHIND BARS will be on June 5 and June 6.

Steven Alexander is the young boy on the first row. He is Travis' baby brother. His marriage was broken up.
I am not sure if they are TRYING again.
There is a little girl involved. She was shuttled back and forth, and now this little girl cries and begs her Daddy not to leave. He has to go to the trial. It breaks Steven's heart.

I am sure Steven has Post Traumatic Stress. Nightmares, sick, a total wreck, all KINDS of symptoms. I read about it a lot because my husband has it from the War.

How do you have a mini trial? Just put on some of the facts? Bet IT is going to have new lawyers. BUT WE WON THE BIGGIE!!!! MURDER 1 !!! Jane is saying Jodi will control this entire new trial! I am sure she will. Once she gets on the stand, ha! TRY to get her off!! Another 18 days for just her? LOVES the limelight! LIVES for it!

I want to send them some money... there is always THAT problem for them. Will some lose their jobs? The site is not clear or user friendly HOW TO SEND $$$$ to help them.

I agree with everything you said, Joni!

Thanks Mal. I guess we will find out later who the hold outs were... and how many?

**Dr. Drew is on now... **

What a day this has been ... Nancy sure called it right. Said no verdict. There would have been that buzzer or something. She called it, everyone else was confused. She IS very smart.

Going to feed my girls. (Lucy and Lilly). Exhausted!

Jury UNABLE to reach a verdict in Jodi Arias case as Travis Alexander's relatives weep when they hear a new jury will be called to determine the punishment but not until JULY

• The jury could not come to a unanimous decision about whether to execute Jodi Arias or to sentence her to life in prison
  
• They were the group that spent five months listening to graphic details about the 2008 murder of Travis Alexander
  
• Now a new jury must be called and they will be forced to decide what Jodi Arias' sentence should be for the premeditated murder
  
• The new jury will not be able to override the guilty verdict
  
• Move draws out the case longer as the new jury won't be called until July

There were dramatic scenes in court today as the judge declared a mistrial over the sentencing of Jodi Arias since the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict over whether or not she should be executed for murdering her ex-boyfriend.

The jury was dismissed from the courtroom after spending five months on the case, and while they did decide that she was guilty of the premeditated murder of Travis Alexander, but they could not decide whether she should spend life in prison or be put to death.

The next step in the seemingly-unending trial comes on July 18, when an entirely new jury panel is determined and tasked with delivering the final verdict in the case.

A major part of the jury selection process will be the determination of whether or not the individuals say they are morally able to render a death penalty verdict should one be called for.

The scene in the Phoenix, Arizona courtroom on Thursday afternoon- when the jury came back to the judge with their inability to agree- was not one of relief.

Arias herself looked upset and began crying, though not necessarily tears of joy.

Alexander's siblings, who have been a constant presence throughout and have all uprooted their lives in California to focus on the trial, were all crying as well.

One female juror was at least sympathetic to them, and she was seen mouthing the word 'sorry' toward the Alexanders.

Judge Sherry Stephens, who showed some tough love to the jury yesterday, was very complimentary to them today.

'This was not your typical trial. You were asked to perform some very difficult duties,' she said.

Hello Everyone!! I've missed being here with all of you!

I know it's late but just got in after being out all day......I was almost RUNNING to my daughter's apartment when she showed me on her phone the CNN news and the HUNG verdict!!!

OMG!!!

But I can take a guess why Jodi was crying and upset......could it be that she feels she had manipulated this jury and feels they were sympathetic to her after "bonding" with them for the past 4 months and the 18 days on the stand......and nowwwwwwwww......12 STRANGERS to her come in, they will get the case cold, they haven't had the "pleasure" of hearing her manipulations for 18 days, probably won't feel the kind of sympathy for her she needs for a "life" verdict?

Anyone who simply reads the evidence and her nonsense testimony full of lies and then sees what she did to Travis - they will have no problem recommending DEATH.

What say you all?

Hi Remote..... absent for two days... do you have an excuse note?

Wow, the picture Rumpole posted of Travis's brother Steven's face is pure anger! He was furious!! Poor family!!!

SUCH a good point, Mal! It would have been horrible!!

You are right about Jodi.

People who actually follow the case will understand that unfortunately the Jury were NOT GIVEN the option of LWOP for certain.

And.... NO!!! Life with parole possibility is TOTALLY unacceptable!!!

The fact that in some dopey jurisdictions there is no DP.. and everybody gets let out on parole is IRRELEVANT!!

I know the Alexander family wanted death and that is totally understandable.... but LWOP would have been acceptable (just) to most people.

It is my GUESS that the jury members voting death might have compromised if LWOP was certain ... hence the jury question to clarify if that was possible.... and it wasn't.

Shame the Judge could not whisper to somebody that she WOULD impose LWOP.... I would bet money that she would.
