Lunarscope, the jury does NOT have a video of the last trial. All they can consider is the testimony and evidence presented in the retrial. Most of the evidence and testimony was the same as in the first trial except for Arias testimony and her story of self defense.
The jury asked for an exhibit list because they don't have time to go over every exhibit and every piece of testimony. They will use their memory, notes and look at relevant evidence.
In most mitigation trials, the convicted murderer and family members tearfully plead to the jury to spare her life.
Instead, the defense spent most of its time assassinating Alexander's character rather than focusing on the mitigators that they want the jury to use for mercy.
Therefore, I think this jury will have an easier time in giving her death than jurors who heard from sobbing children begging for their mommy's life or a tearful mother pleading to the jury to save her daughter's life.
All they have to consider is if Arias is remorseful, too young, was abused and mentally ill.
Martinez knocked down every mitigator and all Nurmi did was to try to gain their sympathy by telling them not to kill this poor little mentally ill girl whom Travis Alexander loved so much.
If I were on the jury, it would be easy for me to vote for death because she clearly is not remorseful since the message she gave the jury was he deserved to suffer and die because he watched porn and dated other women. It is ridiculous.
