Opinions on the Jodi Arias trial? Jury questions

[promise5 17]

I've seen interviews on and off on this case. Wondering what others thought are. I found that the jury being able to ask questions very interesting. I believe only 3 states allow this. What do the lawyers on here think of this? Have you ever dealt with it?

No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible.
Believe me I tried.

I tried a case a couple of months ago where the jurors asked two questions. I like the practice. The jury is confused and they can have something answered. They can give some feedback to what they are thinking about. And frankly, as attorneys we often lose sight of those people.

Note - those questions may be objectionable. But I have never seen a juror question that I didn't think was helpful.

I'm somewhat surprised they didn't come back with a verdict in 10 minutes or under.

Are these questions done verbally, or passed by index card and then opposing counsels and the judge can discuss separately?

My concern is that the jury/juror might indeed ask a question that is objectionable - lack of relevance, whatever. That being said (and I don't know how it's done in CA), I suppose if the juror submitted the question in writing, and the judge & counsel first privately conferred about whether to answer the question, and if so, how... I suppose that might meet my concerns.

From what I understood with this case is that the questions went to the judge and then the judge went through what was allowed or not.

From what I've seen in the AZ murder case, they questions are put in a basket by jurors, after the current council questioning is over, they meet in chambers.
Including the defendant and the victim's family.

Same here. She's got to be guilty. All the signs are there.

touche` The media can play a huge part in the public's perception. That's most likely responsible for my view of her.

The the juror passes a question in writing to the bailiff in the jury room. The bailiff gives the question to the judge. The judge tells the attorneys that the jurors have a question and tell us the question. If we find it objectionable we argue it there. If not, then it's up to one of us to either ask it or flesh out the issue. I was still doing the examination, so I asked it.

We never know which juror asked it.

Now given the conviction, is the jury allowed questions during penalty phase?
While I don't personally support the DP, I somewhat expect her to receive it.
If it's deserved in any case, this is one of those.

I'm inclined to agree. What she did was premeditated and depraved.

ETA - HOWEVER.... She was said to have preferred to die than serve life in prison. If that's true, then throw her sorry ass in prison for the rest of her life.

Here's your two choices guys:

find a crazy, but super hot woman, that'll do anything for you. But watch your back once you break up because she'll stab you if you don't.

Aside from the fact that she says she did it, I suppose it's possible, but I don't know how deep the stab wounds to tr back were. It is physiologically possible to stab yourself on the back, or wedge a knife in place and back into it. It is possible to slit your own throat and shoot yourself in the head before you die. While those actions are theoretically possible, not so much in this case.

Nothing about what she has done.

Less than one hour for the decision?

[normiss 898]

Anybody paying attention to this mess???

What The Fuck.

[normiss 898]

Are you fucking kidding me?????

After months of trial the judge lets the jury get away with THAT after a whole HALF DAY of deliberating????

What a slap in the coin purse to Mr. Alexander's family.

Somebody on that jury is a liar.
