Now I will too. I can't stop laughing. This struck me so funny!!

jodi doesn't want to face Travis's family because she is a big fat skanky coward.

mbtb I don't get it either. Beth just announced a few minutes ago on Jane VM about the "gag" order type thing. We knew this for hours.

I am looking at her interview in jail now ... very early one. Some of it I didn't see before. Smiling, talking so so sweetly, soooo shhh softly.

I see her slashing him and hear the screechy violins that were in the Psycho shower scene!!

Nancy said more of that meeting that we never saw before - now!

Sheriff Joe uses an old jail for his animal program. Animals saved and adopted out. He is a heavy duty animal lover. What's great is the jail is air conditioned while he has convicts in tent city with no air conditioning. There was a big to do about this and treating the prisoners so badly. He didn't care. He is still having the animals in air conditioning.

There is a reason he keeps getting elected. People love him.

I'm watching her lying mouth now.

She's a really lousy actress. No wonder Travis' friends, relatives and the cops knew she did it.

Juror #8 on Dr Drew tomorrow night.

Jodi is a psycho freak! That stupid, soft voice with her oozing "ummmmmm" and "annnnnd." I saw that interview tonight, too, Joni, and it floors me how she said, "I feel sorry for whoever did this to Travis when they meet their Maker, it was so heinous, and I would never want to face something like that..."

or when she said, "this was so shameful and I can't imagine anyone doing something so shameful..."

She is a horrible piece of work!!

After both sides give opening statements, Alexander's family members will have the opportunity to speak to the jury about the impact the crime has had on their lives. Neither the prosecutor nor the defense will be allowed to question the victim's survivors.

Both sides will then present witnesses to argue the existence of mitigating factors before Arias is allowed to make a statement to the jury and her family will also address the court to spare her life.

The jurors will ultimately decide whether Arias will be executed or not.

This was on the abc page, I'm not sure if this will happen today..

The aggravation phase of Arias' trial

Here is peek at HLN's Beth Karas' reporters notebook. She details what to expect from the aggravation phase:

• Prosecutor Juan Martinez’s opening statement
  
• Defense’s opening statement (if they choose)
  
• Martinez puts on evidence: Dr. Kevin Horn (medical examiner)
  
• Defense puts on evidence, if they choose. (This is not expected.)
  
• Instruction on the law by Judge Sherry Stephens
  
• Martinez’s closing argument
  
• Defense’s closing argument
  
• Martinez’s rebuttal closing
  
• Jury deliberates. They must decide if the aggravator of cruelty was proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
  
• Jury's decision is a verdict.

The jurors' verdict form includes this language: PROVEN or NOT PROVEN

If their verdict is “proven,” the case moves to the final phase: the penalty phase. At this juncture, the jury will deliberate a third time on whether Arias will receive the death penalty.

If their verdict is “not proven,” the case is over. Jurors will be excused. The judge will set a sentencing date within 30-60 days. Stephens will then decide if Arias gets life without parole or life with parole eligibility after 25 years.

Oh, I thought it was noon. Thanks.

Regardless of today's outcome, JUAN HAS WON for us!! For everyone!
Either alternative seems good to me for the skank!!
So sad though... STILL no Travis. What a sad waste!
Amazing how the bottom of the barrel ( of us) play GOD! What misguided egos!!

Juan is my HERO!!!

We can pass the time listening to another lying psychopath.

mbtb, maybe OJ should smack his head on the wall, too?

He has always had an over sized head.

There's been a lot of confusion about the start time today, especially after Vinnie Politan said last night that it was at 12noon EDT.

These HLN people are ridiculous!

Unfortunately for me, I will have to leave right when they come back from lunch (4:00pmEDT). I desperately hope to be able to hear the victim impact statements before leaving or will have to watch YouTube later this evening.

(an elderly friend of mine [83yo] fractured her hip and goes into surgery tomorrow, and is always the way, I have no choice, must go see her today - on this most important day of the trial!)
