So what is being said is that Martinez filed a motion to have #17 removed based on her presumed activity on Facebook NOT because of any issues regarding who she was married to and involvement with the court.
With the statements by Wilmott and Nurmi that other jurors had accessed their social media and after reviewing, JSS did not feel it was sufficient evidence that #17 be dismissed.
That is my point in my earlier postings. It was social media activity that prompted Martinez's motion NOT other information.
I absolutely agree that Martinez did everything within his power to get the DP verdict.

I too doubt #17's intent but also agree that she does not deserve the treatment that she is now getting.
This will be all sorted out through the proper channels despite how we all feel.
I have also read articles on the privatization of services within the jail/prison system. It just shows that in the end, it is all about money and not providing the safeguards for the public to protect them from manipulating inmates.

I think everyone, including myself, believe that sentencing could have been done immediately after the verdict.
Because it was not, it has given everyone free rein to continue with speculation and assumptions AND it keeps Arias in the limelight - something I am sure she is enjoying.
Whatever the reason for the 30 day delay in sentencing by JSS - whether to allow for the motion by the defense to dismiss the guilty verdict to be filed, to allow for the formulation of a comprehensive address by JSS to Arias and the court before she hands down her sentence, to allow the Alexander time to put together a possible statement for the court before sentencing and even maybe the Arias family - whatever the reason, it has made it very difficult and prolongs this case.
Arias will be stopped in her tracks once she enters Perryville.
Her supporters will carry on with misinformation and hateful remarks but I believe it will wain once she is locked away.
Until then, any checks that they can put on her need to be done, knowing full well that she will continue to try an circumvent them.
Investigations need to be ongoing on issues that have come to light following the verdict but we must remember that the facts are of the utmost importance, not speculation or what we think should be done.
I reiterate.....
JSS was told that #17 was "ineffective" in deliberations, NOT that she refused to deliberate. this was evident by the minutes posted.
