I know that many do not see this case as a WIN because Arias did not get the DP.
The win for me is that Arias will be gone for the rest of her natural life, behind steel and concrete, with people just like her and so many rules and regulations that she MUST follow forever!
She will not be a free woman ever again.
She will no longer be a threat to free citizens of society.
She has exhausted every legal trick and ploy that she could find. All that is left is a standard appeal for her which will undoubtedly be denied.
----------
I do not care one little bit that reporters' schedules were disrupted by the delays in this case. That is their job so work around it!
"the press have every right to report for the people America justice was stifled."
Reporters do not always report just the facts.
Their own biases and opinions often are written subliminally into their reports. They are adept at doing this to get to their readers. They know that sensationalism will get them the attention from their readers.
Of course the press has a right to report for the people and they did so in this case.
I do not believe that American Justice was stifled - there has never been a case like this where every minute detail has been torn apart by the media.
Because the DP was not given, everyone is up in arms and tearing apart every single thing that they FEEL were the reasons for not getting this verdict.
Again I say, the juries in this trial all knew who and what Arias was and is, but one cannot predict what a jury will do when they go to deliberations. What the public think they should do and what they ACTUALLY do are two separate issues. Just look at the Casey Anthony case and this one as well.
----------
I am not wholeheartedly defending every action that JSS did in this case. She made mistakes. I acknowledge that.
But I can not get past the fact that NO ONE with the authority and not even the defense or state asked for her to be removed.
She followed the law as she knows it and successfully presided over a trial that saw Arias convicted as charged.
She allowed evidence that was not necessarily appropriate in the 2nd trial and she made critical decisions with regard to secret testimony, affidavits, and a closed courtroom.
Yes, the trial went on far too long and the suffering of the Alexander family was perpetuated.
But where were the official complaints against JSS? Why were none made?
You find it difficult to understand how someone can actually defend JSS - this is my main reason.
Yes, she made a decision that fired everyone up about constitutional rights and the 1st amendment when she closed the courtroom for Arias' testimony.
But did she break the law? NO.
Her decision was overturned and with it shut Arias down. If Arias can manipulate the current laws, then I see JSS using the laws to stop her and that is essentially what happened.
People did not like what JSS did but the end result was outstanding. Arias went mute.
The affidavits that were allowed were done with the law's support.
Did anyone believe them - no.
Did Martinez get to question these people - no.
Did Martinez object to them being entered into evidence - no. He actually supported them if it meant that the defense could bring forward mitigation information.
Martinez was confident that these affidavits would be seen for what they were - lies and they were proven to be so!
----------
People wanted the DP. Plain and simple.
They did not get what they wanted.
Because of this, the circus is being extended as they are so angry and want someone to pay for what they did not get.
If the DP is the only justice that people see in this case, then they are very closed-minded in their thoughts.
Arias is about to be severely punished for what she did.
She should be.
Justice is about someone paying for their crime.
Arias was found guilty as charged and is about to spend the rest of her sorry life in Perryville with severe restrictions for a long time.
It is as it should be.
(I exclude the Alexander family in this because they have the very most right of anyone to want what they feel is justice for their brother.)
In my world, justice has been served in this case. I accept a sentence of LWOP.
It may not be the "eye for an eye" type of justice that so many wanted but justice comes in many forms.
