A Week In Review for the Jodi Arias Penalty PhaseThe Trial Diaries
October 26, 2014 by
The day had finally arrived, opening statements for the Jodi Arias retrial were finally upon us. With the courtroom filled to the brim with reporters and spectators the Jodi Arias hype was still very high. With the trial not televised or streamed the reporters have a hard job Tweeting this trial to everyone’s satisfaction, and I have to say it’s no easy job. The good thing is most already have seen the testimony and evidence so Tweeting this trial is like explaining it all over again in a condensed version. The emotions the Jodi Arias trial still resonate for supporters on both sides are very powerful and intense. I have to say this trial has definitely put all that are reporting on it in a precarious position of being attacked and praised all at the same time. I myself have experienced both, and the attacks become unsettling and sad when reporting on a man that was murdered, and woman trying to stay off of death row become a dangerous job. This trial will always be a trial like no other and I will see it to the end.
Opening statements in the Jodi Arias retrial kicked off last week on Tuesday. Kirk Nurmi was up first to tell the newly impaneled jury what to expect from the defense team and Jodi Arias herself.

He added she was beat, pushed into furniture and not shown much love.
