Breaking News:
Jurors No. 5, a middle aged female, and Juror No. 12, a male, were excused this morning. The jury was sent to lunch at 11:20 am and told to return at 1:30 pm.
That leaves 14 jurors and only two alternates. There are nine women and five men left on the jury.
A female juror was seen in the hallway leaving in tears after the judge discussed a “juror matter” in chambers with Arias, Nurmi, Wilmott, Martinez and the Alexander sisters.
There were also heated sidebars between the judge, Nurmi, Wilmott and Martinez and the courtroom yelled above the white noise that he can't type with everyone talking at once.
Wilmott handed Martinez a huge stack of papers and there was no witness in the courtroom so reporters were guessing that the defense was resting and closing arguments will begin tomorrow.
It’s anybody’s guess why they were excused or if Nurmi will call any more witnesses or just rest.
After telling the Supreme Court she can’t testify because of death threats, Arias may not even allocute.
