Jodi In Chains

29 Replies

Here is a play by play of what happened in court today via Twitter:

From ‘@WildAboutTrial’:

-In the courtroom at the Jodi Arias trial. Many of the usual faces are here in the spectator section. Media is rather thin. I see Tara Kelley and some other jurors in the gallery. Nurmi and Willmott just went back into chambers. Jodi Arias is not in the courtroom yet. Juan is here…Det. Flores just arrived. Just to remind everyone, this will not be live streamed and most of the hearing will be held in chambers and sealed. Jodi just came in wearing her gray prison striped outfit with salmon socks. Jodi Arias was just escorted back by the well armed sheriff’s deputies. She is in chambers now. These guys are scary looking.

@Chriswnews: Never seen a Jodi Arias escort like this. Arias walked to chambers her shackles making a racket. Arrives in chains surrounded by what appears to be an MCSO SWAT team.

@WildAboutTrial: Willmott just bolted out of chambers and smiled at Flores and Juan, she is getting something from her desk and heading back in. No sign of Travis’ family, just supporters.

@chriswnews: Was told Travis Alexander aunt the only family member expected in the gallery. Sis Samantha to attend via phone. Family civil attorney here.

@WildAboutTrial: Looks like other attorneys here for other trials. Nurmi, Willmott and Jodi Arias are still back in chambers. Flores and Juan continue to semi-reclinate and laugh while they chat. The courtroom is full of chatter. Flores and Juan were just summoned back into chambers. Everyone is coming out of chambers. Jodi Arias has full umbrella bangs and makes a clanking noise as she walks. She went to her room.

@maryellenabc15: Jodi Arias is walked back through court to her holding cell…she is shackled, handcuffed and in jail stripes. Jail SWAT is guarding her.

@WildAboutTrial: The armed sheriff seems to be clearing Jodi Arias’ table. She is brought out now and is sitting down. There are 4 fully armed sheriff deputies here to keep an eye on Jodi Arias. These are some serious deputies. Wow. Jodi Arias is sitting with the DP mitigation specialist whispering. Sheriffs haven’t left her side. Jodi Arias did not seem to have a smile on her face, looked rather tired. Attorneys are back. Judges Stephens is present and addressing the court now. Court is deferring the ruling on the motion to delay the trial until July 18. The hearing is over.

@tarakelley320: Seeing Jodi in shackles was totally worth being at the courthouse today!!!

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial for some reason I’m not seeing the ? But it was hard listening to the sex talk over and over and Nurmi liked to talk #17WAT

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 Did you find Nurmi very hard to listen to with all the sex talk day after day after day? #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial would have made it ALL Better!Valerie just emailed me And said we can’t make fun of her water and she wants her mug! #17WAT

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 How nice would it have been to drink court water out of a sweet WAT mug instead of those tiny styrofoam shot cups? #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial wow that’s a hard one!! Probably the camera! Showed a timeline of how quickly things happened! #17WAT

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 What was the most damning piece of evidence against Jodi? #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial no! I feel she is an advocate and truly believed Jodi was abused! However there was NO proof only her word #17WAT

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 Did you think Alyce’s analysis of domestic abuse applied to Jodi? #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial I believed it! There was never interaction b/w him and Jodi at the table! He never looked happy by her #17WAT

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 What did u think of Kirk Nurmi when he said “9 days out of 10 I don’t like Jodi Arias” #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial I think those parent interrogation videos could have been a game changer! Shows they weren’t shocked she did it #17WAT

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 Is there anything that your have heard or seen since trial has ended that stands out to you as a game changer? #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial I wish!! We did puzzles , played UNO, cribbage, and that’s about it lol!

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 Did the juror room have billiards, darts, xbox with a 60 inch screen and a fireplace as I envisioned it having? #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial I gave her the benefit of the doubt, but when she sat up there and lied constantly, it was hard to believe she did #17WAT

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 great multi tweet answer Tara! Very twitter savvy. In your mind, does Jodi have any redeeming qualities? #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial I believe on May 26, Travis was trying to break it off completely with Jodi! She got mad and threatened him with the sex tape! He started calling her those names b/c he thought if he did she would finally leave him alone, especially when he said u r the worst thing that ever happened to me! He was hoping that would make her stop! It only made her really mad knowing he no longer wanted her! She couldn’t take it! She planned the burglary and started planning his death!She wanted to make sure she was the last he ever had sexually!She wanted that power of knowing she was his last

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 Do you want to tell us more about your theory now? Take a few tweets and expand upon it if you would like. #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial it’s part of my theory! I believe he found out about the sex tape and she threatened to blackmail him! #17WAT

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 What is your opinion of that last text sent by Travis where he was so angry? #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial May 26, 2008!

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 When do you think the the premeditation began? #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial can’t say that it would have! I believe the people that voted life did so b/c the felt some sort of abuse happened! #17WAT

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 If prosecution was able to prove that Jodi slashed Travis’ tires, how would that have changed the jury’s perspective? #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial We had talked before about putting names in a hat and picking that way but idk if that is how they did it! #17WAT

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 How was the foreman chosen? Was he elected, or did he volunteer? #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial no!!! I thought at times he said some mean things but I never thought she was abused! #17WAT

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 Did you believe there was any abuse by Travis, either emotional or physical? #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial out of 375 people..no way!!However the day of selections I had a feeling I would b/c I was the youngest female there #17WAT

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
@tarakelley320 Did you think in your wildest dreams that you would be chosen for this jury? #17WAT

Tara Kelley @tarakelley320
@WildAboutTrial I had to drink it once after forgetting my water:/ it is disgusting!!!! #17WAT

Wild About Trial @WildAboutTrial
