However, since an Arizona jury sentenced Wendi Andriano to death for the brutal murder of her husband, I thought Martinez stood a good chance of getting the same outcome w/Arias. Her crime was so extremely cruel and brutal, she tortured him. How can that be overlooked or overshadowed in light of everything this woman has done to his family? I just don't understand the non-verdict. I hope that in the interest of fairness and the law, a second jury is seated. Regardless of whether or not they are able to reach an unanimous verdict, at least Travis Alexander will have his day in court. He deserves nothing less than due process. I completely agree with your comment about the jury foreman! I don't know that the jury really just considered mitigation during that penalty phase? Did they weigh mitigation vs. aggravation as they were supposed to, or did they take some of their sympathy for JA into that deliberation room? Nice that we haven't seen any more jailhouse interviews though, right?My Fortehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325989686201777541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571196086974668221.post-25033894327865623392013-06-18T23:33:47.255-07:002013-06-18T23:33:47.255-07:00If another jury is seated for the penalty phase, I...If another jury is seated for the penalty phase, I truly believe that it will end in another hung jury. Possibly, a life sentence, but I don't think they will vote for the death penalty. That being said, I would like to see both sides agree on a life without parole sentence for JA. Don't get me wrong, I am a supporter of the death penalty, but let's end this once and for all. I also believe that the jury foreman voted against the death penalty for all the wrong reasons. He was sucked into her web of lies and false allegations. How will the public react if Judge Stephens grants the defense their motion to delay the trial until January? Hopefully, she will do the right thing and press on until a conclusion is reached. JA deserves no more special consideration. She has played the judge, the court, the media, her witnesses and the viewing public long enough. She made her bed, now it is time for her to face the consequences!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571196086974668221.post-32473137494372964932013-06-18T07:39:39.353-07:002013-06-18T07:39:39.353-07:00Thank you Sonja!Thank you Sonja!My Fortehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325989686201777541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571196086974668221.post-81590827218534799302013-06-17T19:54:27.618-07:002013-06-17T19:54:27.618-07:00George Zimmerman trial is streaming live from the ...George Zimmerman trial is streaming live from the court house right now with jury selection.

I agree completely! Th...Anonymous (6/16 @ 1:59AM),<br />I agree completely! The mitigation specialist should have been completely prepared for every possible scenario - there is no excuse for them to not have been prepared to offer mitigation at the conclusion of this 5 month trial. It's public record that she billed and collected fees for at least 100 hours of service! Is it the State's fault Arias tainted her own witnesses? Why should these trial costs now be taken into consideration where the victim and justice for him is at stake? The system seems broken...I just hope they grant her no further delays and move forward with the penalty phase without cost in mind. She certainly had a "blank check" defense, the victim is entitled to the same!
