@ So what is it #17's word or the State?
Lunarscope,
Why would anyone come forward or to be questioned, in good faith, when they would be called liars because it wasn't what the State says?
If Martinez wanted this juror off definitively, he would have pursued the issue more vigorously than he did. He would not have just accepted the denial of his motions. He is a professional and very good at what he does. If he believes in something, he stays with it.
When questioned, #17 answered and we have to assume it was the truth.
When each and every juror could have been looking at social media during their tenure, how do you just dismiss one without researching all of them?
I agree that all parties involved, State and Defense, should thoroughly research each and every prospective juror's background BEFORE accepting them.
AND......#17 is NOT a convicted felon. She is being punished because she has been married to one or two.
She is an individual in her own right, should not be condemned for her marriage choices nor does anyone have the right to do so!
Someone needs to explain to me how a citizen who is called for jury duty can get themselves put on a specific case when there are many cases calling for jury members and it is not known to them which they could be sitting on until they are called to the courtroom.
If one says that there is a conspiracy that goes over and beyond and others are tampering with the steps to secure the jury they want, I have severe trouble believing it in this case.
There is no Mob, Mafia or Drugs in this case.
Arias is an scorned woman who because of rejection, slaughtered Travis Alexander.
She is NOT a Mob Princess or anything resembling one.
She is a citizen who took the law into her own hands and now is paying the heavy price for her actions.
It is the public that is making her out to be more powerful than she is.
Can she manipulate others - absolutely!
Will she continue to break the law to get what she wants - absolutely!
Perryville is aware of her and what she will do and I believe they will be vigilant.
Are others helping her to raise money and hiding it from everyone - absolutely I believe.
Those that are being investigated by authorities will be called to answer for their actions.
Arias has been called on her actions and is now out of circulation until her sentencing and transport to Perryville - where she will languish for the rest of her life as she should.
