I agree with every word you wrote and I think Arias and Nurmi have deliberately played their little games of Blame the Victim and Feel Sorry for the Little Mentally Ill Girl to manipulate at least one or more jurors to think the Big Bad Mormon Batterer must have done something to provoke her so therefore we can't put her to death.
The judge has ordered a transcript released to the media of the proceedings in chambers Oct. 30, 2014 where Kirk Nurmi argued in a hearing to convince the judge to allow Arias to testify in secret.
In an order 2/11/15 the judge wrote:
The Court has considered the media request to release the transcript of the proceeding
conducted in chambers on October 30, 2014. The State does not object to release of the
transcript. Defendant objects to release of transcript pages 17 through 22 and pages 27 and
28. The Court has reviewed the entire transcript. The Court previously sealed the proceeding to
determine whether the defendant’s request to testify in a sealed proceeding should be
granted. The Arizona Court of Appeals issued a ruling that the defendant may not testify in a
sealed proceeding. The defendant filed a petition for review with the Arizona Supreme
Court. The Arizona Supreme Court denied the Petition for Review. Accordingly, the Court
finds no legal basis to seal the transcript from the proceeding conducted in chambers on October
30, 2014.
IT IS ORDERED unsealing the proceeding conducted in chambers on October 30, 2014.

In my last posting, I meant to ask you all whether you think Arias will allocute? I don't know if I spelled that right. I for one was very surprised that she did not take the stand. I seriously thought that she would take the stand because I believed that she thinks she is so interesting and intelligent and thinks that almost anybody would find her interesting and intelligent and would believe her lies. I know all of us here will be looking forward to closing arguments, at least Juan's closing. I hope the poor jury keeps a very open mind when they hear the defense's sur-sur-rebuttal and closing. I am so looking forward to the end of her. Do you know what I mean?
