I feel like we should pretend like we are all standing together holding hands hoping for justice. Yes, finally over.
My faith in jury persevered - they came to a verdict - whatever it is.
They say the jury has looked glum - could be that their verdict is huge in their minds and that is all - too much speculation for me.
I am following abc15 on line and damn it!....I have HLN on and have to suffer through Nancy Grace!
The only interesting comment I have heard on HLN by Jean is that in the first trial, everyone was summoned into court, including the jury.
No announcement that a verdict had been reached. Jury then said they were hung.
In this trial, it has been emphatically announced that a verdict HAS been reached and as we await the arrival of the alternate jurors, that could mean DP or Life.
Hung jury is not a verdict.
Interesting.
Well - it is done. No DP for Arias.
Sentencing April 13th.
I believe that given the fact that JSS has been there through this entire circus - both trials - that she will give LWOP.
I am so sorry for the Alexander family. Please do not let this disappointment govern your future.
And the blame game begins.................................
And people are putting square on JSS's shoulders.
You all know my feelings and they have not changed. Enough said for me.
They didn't reach a verdict. They are hung. I think most of the men voted against death. We'll see. I wish the judge had tried a fair court where the court wasn't held up for days on end. That ends up making jurors forget what they had heard. Good call for the defense.
So now it will be in April before the judge sentences the bitch.

I will continually blame Arias and her defense team. All their smoke and mirrors worked.
UTTER MANIPULATION ONCE AGAIN!
JSS gave a fair trial.
This was up to the jury.
They did their job whether one agrees with it or not.
They worked hard but could not change that they were hung.
Blame the flawed justice system of Arizona!!

The above gives the statement from the Alexander family.
Simon influenced twice, what a shame, this is defeating, I again wonder if the jury marked undecided on the only verdict page, but it matters not, prayers for Alexanders family and Travis's family of friends.
SPEACHLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if we will ever hear what the sex is of the one juror who wouldn't budge and would only vote for life.
I am disappointed of course that the jury could not give Jodi Arias the death penalty.
But encouraged that the vote was 11-1 for death and they had this vote since last Thursday.
This means that only one person bought the abuse excuse.
I noticed Jodi Arias attitude was defiant. She refused to cooperate with a pre-sentence interview.
There was no reason for the judge to postpone sentencing just because Jodi Arias asked for 30 days without a pre-sentence report.
She is clearly upset that she will be handed over to the Department of Corrections and will have no access to twitter, blogging and selling her drawings.
Once she is sentenced by the judge April 13, the family can file a wrongful death suit and if she does try to make money, they can seize it.
She will never be free again and she knows it.
Observer, the jury said the hold-out (a woman) said that they, the other 11 jurors, wanted revenge by wanting the death penalty. And she had seen bits and pieces of the movie.
11-1. Imagine.
To bad that just before deliberations 2 jurors were dismissed, but we can only speculate' today, maybe answerable in interviews!
I blame the Judge, but respect that opinions differ and understand that I've been wrong here and there, it would be useless to debate, we have what we have!
