Looking forward to the State's continued rebuttal case. I like how efficient Martinez is at putting this forward in a timely and straightforward manner. He knows his stuff and is decimating the defense (Arias).
You are correct that the Bishop is totally unbiased. He has no reason not to be. He is telling the facts and in a convincing way. He wouldn't compromise his church, his beliefs and him as a person to help a heathen who committed such a horrible deed. He has nothing to gain in lying.
As an aside, I have been busy outside here. We got 37 cm. of snow in one day (yesterday and through the night) and essentially, my little town is closed down for the day as people dig out. I am so thankful that I had friends that came and shovelled me out. Winds continue to make drifting a problem but the sun is shining now.
Jodi Arias: Court Minutes from Omnibus hearing January 23, 2015

There are multi-defendants who have joined in a motion to Strike the Notice of Intent to Seek Death Penalty against the State of Arizona and Jodi Arias was allowed to join them in November 2014. Read that motion here.
Counsel for defendant Macario Lopez, Jr. informed Judge Kreamer that he was not prepared with the required data needed and it would not be ready until the end of March. Judge Kreamer was not happy having transported numerous inmates to this hearing on January 23 "unnecessarily".
The judge set deadlines for the parties to have their information in and a hearing was set for April 24. The Oral Argument previously set for February 6 was cancelled.
If Arias is sentenced to death in her current penalty phase retrial but this joint motion is successful, you can count on the State appealing. If the State is unsuccessful, her sentence would convert to Life.

I am surprised that Arias is able to join this as she is the only one that is convicted.
