Herein lies my conjecture!
At the current time, there is no procedure for granting parole if the defendant is sentenced to life with the possibility of release from prison after 25 years.
Simply put their is no procedure' because Jodi hasn't asked for parole!
The 'current time' paragraph' needs dissected, this judge is the only judge to make rulings related to the Jodi Arias case as long as she is able and Arizona permits her to wear the robe!
So the 'current time' means only that any motions are both either not filed or tabled or are intended to be filed = not filed yet, their cannot be a appeal prior to judgement so what does this jury instruction say' point in contest' the first jury asked the judge "what does life mean" that resulted in what I call a mini-trial where the judge, Martinez and the defense individually related their educated guesses, and still the question was abandoned!
That later became the first Allen charge of a jury reporting undecided = assumed deadlocked, but every jury person who spoke 'to date' related the same reaction of surprise that the judge prematurely called we are undecided (too early in the first morning) to assuming a stalemated / deadlocked mistrial.
Day 1 of Deliberations was late afternoon and jury was told to pick their foreman, they soon exited the courthouse!
Day 2 morning before lunch' all court were called to courtroom for jury question to be answered, their was no time for undecided at that point, hours later court reconvened = mini-trial then deliberations resumed.
When the jury forman (second time) lead his question to judge with the phrase 'we are undecided' a mistrial decision resulted and in time we will likely hear from all 12 before all is said and done concerning this topic.
I find fault in the jury foreman' but I am not faulting him in this post!
Note' In the exact same week that the jury' we are undecided, not stalemated or deadlocked that resulted in this retrial, a California Murder 1 case was overturned due to inadequate jury instructions so this was a million dollar mistake in my opinion, no matter the final result.
