I always like to read Martinez’s motions because they are so intelligent and logical that even a layman can understand them.
In his latest motion objecting to the defense’s bogus umpteenth motion for mistrial because of prosecutorial misconduct:
Martinez says in a nutshell:
1-The judge has already ruled on the prosecutorial misconduct numerous times.
2- Jodi Arias claims of prosecutorial conduct do not warrant a mistrial.
3-Witnesses refusal to testify during the penalty phase did not prejudice Jodi Arias.
4- His cross examination of Geffner was not improper. The state is entitled to explore the bias, credibility and motives of witnesses and zealous cross examination of witnesses does not amount to misconduct.
5- There was no cumulative prosecutorial misconduct that affected the trial.
In conclusion, Arias and Nurmi are simply rehashing the same old accusations against the prosecutor, which have not affected the trial in any way, and the motion should be denied.
To that, I say amen. The judge will deny it like she has all the other bogus mistrial motions and the appellate courts will dismiss the accusations as well as pure hogwash.
I hope this is the last mistrial motion Martinez has to waste his time answering.
