Juan Martinez got it just right. He pulled it off. So proud of that little firebrand. I was stunned by his manner at first but he really grew on me after the first few days. He turned that horrible slasher every which way but loose when he got his chance at her - and anybody else trying to excuse her!!! Well, I guess Alyce the Enabler isn't too happy right about now, but I know Travis Alexander's family and friends and fans of justice everywhere are glad to see his cold-blooded killer guilty as charged for his murder. Now for sentencing.

Oh thank God!!! I was so utterly globsmacked by the verdict in CA's trial, I would have bet everything I owned that she would get "guilty" verdict....and when she walked free, I was like a majority of people, so dismayed in the justice system...lost all faith in it. I am so happy JA was found guilty....now, I want her to get the death penalty. Life in prison is too easy to get some stupid politician in there, throwing out last minute pardons for convicted murderers.....I want her irradicated for what she did to that boy.

Just heard that the siblings are filling a wrongful death suit against Jodi, so all the fools who buy her paintings, t-shirts, and manifestos, will at least be contributing to a worthy cause.

Perfect.

Oh good grief....look at this...copied from a FB page:

The Queen of England has thrown a fit with her Lawyers about her verdict and has already given an interview with Fox Phoenix at 8:00 Eastern. Arizona is a JOKE. Who lets someone do an interview after they are convicted before they are sentenced? FURIOUS, Feed the NARCISSIST. Good move.

Well, I'm proud of the AZ jury and their prosecutor's office and the crowd of people out there celebrating in front of the courthouse. I think the decision by the judge to allow this interview was OT and out of bound by a mile at this time! Arias is still working the media, trying to manipulate that jury and the jurists on the court of appeals to feel sorry for her and think she is so fragile and pitiful - anything to try to get them to feel for her! Wrong in so many ways to allow this now - before any decisions are made about aggravation and sentencing. And she is such a fake!!! Says she's praying for each of those jurors and all that rot. I wish that judge would go take a flying leap over this!

I think she is saying in that interview she gave to Fox10, that she would rather die and have her freedom, than get life behind bars....BS!!!! She is yet again trying to manipulate the system and come out with her hide, even if she does have to live in prison...I dont believe it for one minute....she is an unmitigated liar psycopathic liar and narcissist(sp) and no one that is in love with themself as much as she is, wants to die! That dog dont hunt! She is hoping people will say, "Oh lets give her life since that is her worst nightmare!"

So, can anyone explain what happens next and what the consequences will be for Jodi? I want her to be alone and miserable for the rest of her life!! Is there any chance of her just being in jail like she is now, singing in prison American Idol, ordering snacks from the commissary and drawing....? I hope not!!

I just heard on Dr. Drew that the jury has to agree 12 - 0 on the sentence and if they can't, they bring in a whole new jury just for the penalty phase! Once the aggravation part is over and each side argues whether or not the murder was cruel, apparently that is to inform the sentencing one way or another. I'm not sure about that but otherwise, why have this aggravation day tomorrow? I'm okay with her rotting in jail forever or getting the needle - neither one is going to allow Miss Arias to live a life. Ordering snacks, eating dirt cheap food meal after meal, sketching or reading and exercising or whatever - it's all the same old same old day after day after day after day for the rest of her days. Talk about 4 walls closing in. A mind like hers - that will drive her nuts. Still, I think she deserves death if anybody ever does. If they don't needle her, this jury needs to apologize to other inmates who've been put to death by the State. Slaughter a guy like a pig in his very own home for breaking up with you and no death sentence??????

First :bravo: to the jury, wow!! I'm so glad to be wrong about my prediction of 2nd degree!

What happens next:

--Aggravation phase - mitigating factors will be given in court, then jury deliberates

--If not guilty of aggravated murder, then judge will set sentencing date ~60days out

--If guilty of aggravation, then jury has to deliberate as to life or death and they MUST be unanimous; if they can't come to a decision, a mistrial will occur for this phase only and a new jury will come in for just that phase.

--If she is sentenced to death, she goes to death row within a few hours of the sentence. If sentenced to life in prison, I believe the judge then sets a future date for the actual sentencing.

Oh also???? UNREAL that she gave a freakin' INTERVIEW after becoming a convicted MURDERER!!! WHO DOES THAT? Oh, right,.....Jodi flippin' AriASS. Her lawyers have surely blown a blood vessel over it.

Thanks for the timeline!! I'm still shocked that she gave an interview...well, shocked is the wrong word...Jodi continues to do the unexpected! Why doesn't the judge reel her in!? I heard that she had had a shouting match with her attorneys before the interview....?
As far as the suicide watch goes I was upset to hear on HLN this am that should she commit suicide her family could sue the state...? WHAT?? Why is everyone else responsible for her actions?
Jodi is unlike any other - thank goodness!! What a bad seed!

For those who didn't see the full interview, someone from another forum wrote it down: VERDICT! IN JODI ARIAS TRIAL! | Tamara Tattles. I thought #4 was interesting, she is calling her mom a saint and this goes along with Juan suggestion that she either thinks someone is perfect or they are horrible and she devalues them. Personally, I think she's being nice to mom so that mom can make her life in prison a little more bearable.

Watched all five segments on MyFoxPhoenix of the interviews with Jodi Arias and, by God, that woman is so incredibly sick and will never, ever accept responsibility for anything. Here are some excerpts of her responses to the reporter’s incessant “what are your thoughts on that?”:

1) Did she avoid eye contact with Travis’ family during the trial? “I typically avoided eye contact. Travis comes from a family where they all sort of look a lot alike so when I see their faces, I see Travis and I see the man that abused me and I don’t want to look at that.”

2) What are your thoughts on Juan? “Ummm, well, prior to trial, I respected Juan as a very capable attorney. Ummm, even though he’s done some very shady things in my case as far as hiding evidence and failing to disclose certain things hoping it would just go away. But in the end what does it matter? It didn’t help my case. His accusation that I was seeking fame is absurd.”

3) Was Twitter your idea? “It just became sort of an idea that I thought of in February and we decided to go for it. I don’t regret it. I think there’s a little bit of satisfaction gained from being able to just impart my ideas and my thoughts and sort of let people know where I’m coming from. You don’t have to read it if you don’t like it.”

4) What are your thoughts on your mom? “As far as my mom, I feel that I don’t deserve her. She’s a saint and I have not treated her very well.”

5) The jury didn’t believe your story. What are your thoughts on that? “I can understand that, I think, because of the lies that I told in the beginning to try to cover up this, cover up that, to hide the things that I didn’t want to made public.”

And the worst of all is this:

6) “It’s not like I went up [to Utah] because I was hoping to pursue a relationship. I went up there because I thought ‘oh crap, I need to keep my schedule.’ So I went up there almost because I felt a sense of obligation inside in order to keep up the pretense. Not because I was going up there to have fun.”

7) Do you still think about Travis and in what way? “Yes. Ummm, there’s a lot of regret because I was really hoping to get a plea and avoid talking about all of the things that came out about him. If we had been able to avoid trial, we could have avoided just the murkier aspects of his life that he kept hidden and these aren’t just things that came from my mouth. They are his own words, his own e-mails, his own text messages. The activities that he was up to, photographs that showed that as well. And none of that would ever have come to light; it would have just been forgotten. He would have been memorialized as, umm, not perfect by any means, but somebody who was known to adhere to his morals and the principles that he espoused. But now the curtain has been drawn and you can see the hypocrisy and everything that was there. And I regret that because although I know even though he was living the life of a hypocrite, that was not how he wanted to be perceived and I think inside he didn’t really want to live that kind of life.”

8) What about the pedophilia? “Well, again, he’s fantasizing about having sex with a 12-year-old on the tape. That’s pedophilia by definition.”

Here's a video on how Jodi's interview came about and parts you haven't seen on television yet. Jodi Arias talks exclusively with FOX 10 after verdict - New York News | NYC Breaking News

She'd better learn how to show some remorse if she does hope for 25 years to life but I honestly do think she might be fatalistic as many drama queens who murder are. I think she hopes she gets the death penalty and can be the center of all these groups working hard to protest against it, visit and talk to her about how to help her and get her appeals done, have many court appearances with reporters in tow, endless interviews and drama all around her being on death row for years and all these people fighting for her and Queen Bee right at the center of everything. She likely envisions protests and long lines of demonstrators outside the prison, TV covering it all, being interviewed endlessly for writers doing books on her, another movie or two being done, continuing her Twitter from prison, continuing her drawing and posing for pictures during reporters' visits for interviews and being the VIP on death row with lots of fans up and down the rows of cells and on the outside writing her constantly and waiting for her replies. And then, someday, she'll kiss it all goodbye, go out in a huge blaze of glory and the world press will cover it all 24/7 and be a martyr for all of her sycophants. I can see she might envision going out like that after blazing a trail across the justice system sky like no other inmate and the good taxpayers of State of Arizona spending millions on her appeals. I think that really appeals to her.

I didn't watch the interview but from Nancy's excerpts, she is one mixed up and out of touch murdering weirdo.

I personally cannot bother with it/her. She was found guilty and whatever the jury decides as punishment is fine with me. As long as the crazy b**** cannot be free to kill again, it's all good.

Poor Travis died a horrific death. Justice has been served, thank God.

Too bad you weren't a hired expert on the case, I would have loved to hear one of them say, "After analyzing all her tests and reading through all her diaries and emails, I have come to the conclusion that Jodi Arias is one mixed up and out of touch murdering weirdo!” :p

I agree!!

LOL. LOL. LOL. Boy, she really is, isn't she? Wonder what in the world made her into what she is? But I do think she wants people carrying on over her over the death sentence as long as she can keep it going. And she can fabricate more and more salacious stories about what happened between Travis and her. Anything for max attention. In this media-driven society, who gets more attention than the young, attractive and articulate sex-kitten murderer on Death Row?

I have had lots of compassion for Jodi's family, I think this would really be so hard, but it really bugged me when I saw Grandma in a wheelchair in court and needing help being lifted to stand and then last night I saw her standing in the waiting room, acting very animated, and walking around like there was absolutely nothing wrong with her. I realize people are sometimes weaker than others, but this was pretty extreme.

Apples don't fall far from the tree. Bunch of manipulators.

I saw that too. She was walking around at the jail waiting to see Jodi and then she walked out of the jail and out into the parking lot, all unaided....hmm, oooookay.

Interesting about Grams!

Just saw on Twitter from HLN that she's now on the psych ward and under suicide protocol according to the Maricopa Sheriff's office. More $$$ spent on her. She'll cost the poor AZ taxpayers a bloody fortune before this is all over.

I know it's kind of crazy, we want to kill her, but we don't want her to kill herself. While she's under Suicide Watch, she can't do any more interviews. By the way, they closed up her twitter account too!

I heard that her Twitter account and that of her friend were closed. Maybe from now on she's only selling her words.

I'm sure Sheriff Joe closed her account as soon as the verdict was reached. He calls himself the toughest sheriff in the United States, and I'll bet he was just livid with her tweets.

I heard her mom wants her to live because she thinks that Jodi can help other women in prison. :confused: I do NOT want Jodi to be helping other women, or even sharing her faith, all we need is more people like Jodi walking around.

But her friend's Twitter is said to be down, too and he can't close hers. I wonder if news agencies, magazines and newspapers and writers will pay her to talk to them? If HLN gets such good ratings they can go nonstop on her, I'll be some will pay.

Boy, if I had an acquaintance or family member in a prison with her, I wouldn't want them to have any access to her strange thoughts and ideas and in any way learn the mindset of not ever taking responsibility for anything.

Yeah, that's the Twitter account I'm talking about, now that Jodi is a convicted felon, I doubt if the friend she met in jail can be around her or even converse with he, if she’s on parole, before Jodi got convicted, it’s a different story. I don't know exactly how he did it, but he isn't big on following the constitution. AZ has been sued many times because of Sheriff Joe and his policies, but people here love him.

I just heard that court isn't going to take place today, and maybe nothing til next Wednesday.

Good for Joe if he did! She can keep her thoughts to herself.

I wonder if Jodi has had a breakdown or something. Or a juror is ill or just exhausted. It's probably been a tough haul.
