Lunarscope,
I read your recent post and decided to go to bed and ponder it before I made any comment.
I have read many posts by Edie Morse and generally I feel she has a sound mind and makes good points.
IMO and it is my personal opinion, I give diminished credit to all of those who, in their comments, refer to Arias as "skank, whore, slut, bitch, stabby, it" and so many more titles.
It speaks to the level of credibility of the poster when they must use derogatory names for the defendant who, like it or not, has a name. These names do not infer, to me, that what is behind the posts is nothing more than simply anger, frustration and what is being said is from a purely emotional standpoint.
I do not use Arias' full name, nor have I throughout my many postings but I at least use the name given to her. Calling someone names does not add anything to the discussion.
Regarding the "Purple Plum" info given........
ALL of it is filled with facts that we and the court are aware of.
There is nothing new in any of this.
It is a good synopsis of Arias and her lack of "work ethics" , her desire for men to fulfill her dreams, her perception of her own self-importance and that there are no boundaries for her as she lives her life.

" JSS would not permit anything to do with the "Purple Plum" incident to be exposed to the last jury. Juan Martinez was able to get "bits-and-bots" out this time around, and it's the first that we've all learnt about Skank's "kissing" of this "Edgar" at the "Purple Plum"...
Interesting that without the info on this allowed in the 1st trial, the outcome was GUILTY of Premeditated First Degree Felony Murder with the Aggravating Factor of Extreme Cruelty!
--------------------------
The Judge......
Edie stated after giving definitions of "corrupt" and "corruption" the following......
"... I simply think that she has corrupted the trial proceedings in this case, and that her bias towards the convicted murderer & her unethical team, for whatever motive (e.g. fear or sympathy) and her sheer-and-utter incompetence has made a mockery of our justice system."
Edie also stated.....
" ...she has shown an extraordinary bias towards the convicted murderer & her unethical defense team..."
I speak to competence/incompetance in the following......
"Sherry K. Stephens is a criminal court judge for the Maricopa County Superior Court in Phoenix, Arizona. Her current term expires in 2016.
Career...
 2010-2016: Criminal court judge, Maricopa County Superior Court (Phoenix)
 2007-2010: Family court judge, Maricopa County Superior Court (Mesa)

"...Stephens has presided over cases in Maricopa County Superior Court since2001. In almost 15 years of service she’s run juvenile, family and criminal court. Prior to that tenure, Stephens was an Assistant Attorney General in the Arizona Attorney General’s Office for 20 years. During that time, Stephens served in the Organized Crime and Fraud Section...
...When it comes to Arias' murder trial, Stephens made many tough decisions. Perhaps, none more interesting then refusing a request from Arias’ own defense attorneys to quit after Arias gave an interview to a local reporter just minutes after the guilty verdict.
Stephens also declared Arias wouldn't be allowed to give any more media interviews after the interview infuriated her defense team. In the interview, Arias said she would rather die than spend the rest of her life in prison. However Arias would have a change of heart soon after.
Stephens held steadfast the following year when Arias attorney Kirk Nurmi wantedoff the case before the recent retrial of the sentencing phase began.
Secret court transcripts revealed Stephens had to play the role of referee during intense side bar conferences between the prosecution and defense teams.
Criminal defense attorney Darren Kavinoky liked that Stephens did not interrupt much during testimony in the Arias murder trial..."

I hold to my position that Judge Stephens is not a stupid woman and has been very successful in her career as a presiding judge.
I hold to my position that had any incompetence, improprieties, bias and/or corruption been found to be affecting an eventual outcome of this case, JSS would have been sanctioned and even possibly removed from the case.
Had any of this been brought forward by members of the court or her superiors AND NOT JUST THE GENERAL PUBLIC, she would never have been assigned to continue with the 2nd trial as the presiding judge.
Obviously, although filled with questionable actions on the part of JSS (I do not dispute that), NO ONE felt that a fair trial was not being realized.
Sherry did her job and because it was not what the public felt she should do or not do, she is the person to blame for the eventual outcome.
I hold to my position that this media coverage is the work of Arias herself and agree with the following by David Bodney...
" An irony not lost on Bodney is that the intense media interest in the case has largely evolved from Arias' own actions by courting interviews and operating a Twitter account and selling her artwork from behind bars through a third party. She regularly posts inspirational quotes, links to purchase her drawings and solicitations for donations for her appeals..."
This speaks to my position that the use of the media in all its forms - TV, internet, social media, etc.
I also hold to my position that blame should be given to the very person WHO IS to blame - Jodi Ann Arias!
It should also be directed at the laws of Maricpa County!
She and her defense team made a mockery of the justice system by using the very laws in place.
Arias directed her defense team to use every loop-hole in the laws to put on her defense and to delay proceedings along with a horrible try at decimation of the victim,his family and even hers.
The judge ruled accordingly and IMO knew that her rulings would upset many but in the end would SINK Arias. AND IT DID!
It was the two juries who rendered the verdicts - not the judge.
------------------------
I find the following taken from the above post interesting in the wake of the accusations of bias on behalf of JSS...
" The truth about Skank's psycho-stalking; her abusiveness; her theft of Travis' property as well as his peace of mind; and, her vicious obsession with Travis Alexander to the extent that she invaded his privacy, was all revealed today. Justice 4 Travis."
---------------------------------------
" ...JSS restricted Deanna Reid, not allowing her to tell this jury that Travis Alexander left her his beloved Napoleon, and she would not allow Abe Abdelhadi to tell the jury that the "Mormon" Jodi Arias told him that she had "magic" in her panties... JSS restricts that which will do too much damage to her Skank, whom she does not want to get the DP."
Napoleon is a dog and thankfully Travis left him to someone he could trust. His trust in Deanna was already established and this is just nit-picking IMO.
"Magic in her panties"???? It had already been established that Arias was not a candidate for "Mormon of the Year" and this bit of garbage did not need to be added to the roster of "too much sordid information".
JSS's "Skank whom she does not want to get the DP" is an unfounded accusation!
------------------------
"... My sources did not reveal from whom they obtained the info regarding the "Purple Plum"-- but imo, it is important that the Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth be exposed!"
I agree that the whole truth and nothing but the truth should be exposed but I highly question "sources" who will not back up their stories in order to obtain the truth!
--------------------------------------
" Edie Morse Back in mid-December 2014, Jeff Gold posed an interesting question when he asked:-- "Is Jodi Arias a "human"?"
This is one of the reasons I stopped watching Gold.
This is a ludicrous statement!
Like it or not, Arias IS human! Enough said.
What she does not have is an ounce of humanity in her being.
-------------------------------
" Edie Morse It's one thing to "break the rules" for the sake of the betterment of mankind. By contrast, for Skank, it's all about violating any and all rules of decency, as well as the rule of law, in order to inflict misery upon others, whilst satiating her own sordid & squalid impulses for immediate gratification. She hasn't learnt a thing-- and is more narcissistic than ever! Ergo, this is Skank's depraved ethos"
I do not agree that there is ANY reason for breaking the rules, even for the sake of a bogus reason for "the betterment of mankind."
Having said this, I DO agree with the rest of this statement.
