Jodi’s Aunt Has A Petition

From ‘The State Vs. Jodi Arias’ Facebook page (link below):

Jodi’s aunt, Sue Allen Halterman has started a new petition on Change.org. She is trying to stop the prosecutor, Juan Martinez, from writing a book on this case: Image

I find this interesting as I remember someone brought up Mr. Martinez writing a book and If I remember correctly he said that he was too busy being a prosecutor to write a book.

Jodi’s Not Crazy

According to Wild About Trial’s Brian Skoloff, Maricopa’s County attorney, Bill Montgomery said that Arias is competent to stand trial and any statement that she isn’t fit for the proceedings “is simply inaccurate.” This is in response to an earlier statement from her defense attorneys that she was mentally ill. (See a previous post). At a news conference today he also said: “We’re continuing to prepare for a retrial.” Apparently both the prosecutor, Juan Martinez and the Alexander family want to pursue the death penalty. A status conference is scheduled for June 20. The retrial date for the start of the penalty phase is scheduled for July 18.
