Coverage is starting now on HLN.

Mornig to All - can you believe it - Closing Statements today!

This is a blurb about people waiting to win the lottery to get a seat inside the court room. Look at the times of the entries to see when they started lining up! 11:28pm EDT LAST NIGHT!

For some reason, I keep getting the General Error and it's not letting me post.

11:28 p.m. ET: Here is some information on some of the people who are at the courthouse today hoping to get a seat to watch the trial:

I think Arizona residents should have first choice. After all, we're paying for this.

Hi and yes, I would agree with that!!

Seal is UP!

At first I was concerned, but then I realized that if the juror was knowledgable enough to have caught that (typo) error, then he/she will be knowledgable enough to know how it would go logically and understand what Dr. Horn explained to be able to convince the other jurors if there were any doubts.

I hope!

I'm thinking that Dr Horn explained the entrance of the bullet would crack the skull and the dura is right there so the dura would have had to have been damaged.
I hope so too.

From the HLN producers: About 40 People were waiting outside in line outside the Maricopa County courthouse Thursday morning, only to find out that the court only has 5-7 seats ( ) for the public and the lucky few are being chosen by the lottery.

Jean Casares is very thin and her head looks huge. We only see her head most of the time.

12:23 p.m. ET: From HLN's producer in the courtroom: The attorneys are in chambers with the judge. Jodi has been brought in from holding cell and follows 2 Alexander family members into chambers.

Exactly, I think that one smart juror knows this enough to put it together for the others.

I'd be happy not seeing her at ALL!

Here is HLN live coverage, too many commercials, but great coverage.

It amazes me how much we think alike. Are we long lost twins???

12:31 p.m. ET: From HLN's Beth Karas: Attorneys are in chambers. The courtroom is filling up. Extra seats are in the aisle. The families are here on both sides. Lots of media present. Only members of the general public haven't been allowed inside yet.

I think they could be in chambers over last minute jury instructions. I hope the family makes it clear they don't want that last option added.

Again the jury is left twiddling their thumbs.

12:59 p.m. ET: The attorneys are in the courtroom. Closing arguments should begin shortly.



Wild About Trial WildAboutTrial 1m
Wild sees two rows empty on the other side. Perhaps spectators haven't been let in yet? #JodiArias

Willmott is here in what looks like a hwhite suit but she is sitting down with #JodiArias and I can't see it fully.

Judge just shook her head at the defense table (probably because Jodi wasn't there yet when they announced for the jury )

Oh, ugh, is that Gus Searcy seated in the "well" - why is he there?

1:08 p.m. ET: Judge Sherry Stephens the court is having some difficulties coordinating everything today.

1:05 p.m. ET: The judge is on the bench. Today's proceedings will begin with the judge instructing the jurors on the law. Arias is not in the courtroom. She has gone back to her holding cell.
