I find it hard to comment on this. What kind of crazy justice system plasters a case all over the news, with 24 hour prejudicial TV coverage, and then expects to retry the case soon after and find a set of jurors who are not biassed.
Never mind that Jodi is innocent.
Are they serious?
I was asked what I see as Jodi’s appeal issues. There are so many, but I think the #1 issue has to be Dr Horn’s claim regarding a typographical error in the autopsy report.
After that, anything that proves Jodi only used two gas cans when she filled up at Pasadena.
Then all kinds of other issues relating to ineffective counsel, trial by media ( which Bill Montgomery and Sherry Stephens have already implicitly agreed ), the conduct of Juan Martinez, the perjury of detective Flores, other issues with Dr Horn’s testimony, issues with the blood expert’s testimony.
This is just a very quick list. I am sure there are many more issues.

Something I just came across :
http://quizlet.com/7202935/criminology-chapter-10-main-ideas-flash-cards/
Difference between instrumental and expressive violence
-Expressive violence: acts that vent rage, anger, or frustration
-Instrumental violence: acts designed to improve the financial or social position of the criminal
And then we have
Degrees of murder
1. First degree
2. Second degree
3. Felony murder
In the Jodi Arias trial, if you suspect or believe Jodi is guilty, it is surely clear that this was “expressive violence”.
It seems to me that charging Jodi with Felony murder surely goes outside the intention of the law. The degrees of murder are meant to be mutually exclusive. Something is wrong here.

Something I came across recently.
Q. And this case, did it come down to an unwillingness of experts to work for the price you were able to pay?
A. Yes, sir, I think it did.
Past scams promoted by SJ include
1. “The Overnight Cash System”
In 2005/2006 several thousand people each lost thousands of dollars by getting involved in a pyramid scheme called the Prosperity Automated System (or PAS for short). Simon Johansson was heavily involved in promoting PAS along with his partner at the time who called himself Dr Lieven Van Neste. See http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2006/lr19848.htm and http://www.bizoppsuk.com/overnight_cash_system.php
Note: the disclaimer mentions “Champion Trader” (http://championtrader.com/), another site SJ has promoted. The disclaimer has obviously been copied from that site.
2. “The New Millennium Group fraud”
The front man behind the con was Richard Dompier, 48, of North Carolina. In 2007 a federal court in Oregon, where the company was based, jailed Dompier for ten years after he was convicted on 29 charges of fraud and money laundering. He was told to repay £1.4m to investors. Evidence showed that Dompier told his victims that if they invested about £50 in a small bar of silver, he would pay them about £10,000 in commission fees over a 14-month period. The scheme attracted more than 5,000 investors and if Dompier had paid them all he would have been writing cheques for £600m. See http://www.kpic.com/news/local/6082166.html and

Do not under any circumstances communicate with SJ – he has promoted websites that have scammed many thousands of people of their hard earned cash!

I have hesitated to comment so far on the verdict. However from the wikipedia article on the trial, I read:
The defence of Pistorius was that, in shooting at what he believed to be an intruder, he mistakenly believed he was acting in self-defence, and as self-defence excludes the unlawfulness requirement of criminal liability, an act in valid self-defence is lawful. Technically his defence amounted to a claim that he did not intend to act unlawfully. If he could raise a reasonable doubt in his favour that he was mistaken, as he claimed, he is entitled, under South African law, to an acquittal on the charge of murder. The court then considered whether this mistake was reasonable – one that a reasonable person, in his circumstances, may have made.
If this is correct, the test is NOT whether Oscar could have acted differently, but whether a reasonable person, in his circumstances, may have made the same mistake.
I fail to see how this possibility can be excluded. People make mistakes all the time. Unless there was Malice in the mistake Oscar made, I do not believe he should be held to have committed a criminal act. And I see no evidence of Malice, or any intent to act for his own gain, other than to defend himself and Reeva.
To me, the judge seemed mostly concerned with explaining how Oscar was not guilty of murder, and failed to explain adequately her reasoning on the proof beyond a reasonable doubt that he was guilty of manslaughter.
Just my lay opinion. I could be wrong.

Boney’s criminal history: What’s the deal with the feet thing? Was he a violent foot freak?
Summary:
1 He abused his own partner: “Boney beat her, threatened her life, and used a stun gun on her” Wikipedia
2 Boney violently attacked five young women, stealing shoes. He took young women hostage on three occasions, in two cases, he used a gun.
Boney also has a very interesting cable bill the month before.
Also: Richard Eikelenboom, who owns Independent Forensic Services, said that Boney’s DNA was found near the cuff of Kimberly Camm’s shirt, on the stomach area of 5-year-old Jill Camm, Kimberly and David Camm’s daughter, and on two places on Kim Camm’s underwear.
Women (acting alone) don’t kill* (except to defend themselves or others) unless they have some MAJOR problem ( like drug addiction, severe depression or other severe mental illness, history of abuse ) or a strong MOTIVE ( typically financial or other material gain, or in crimes of passion, betrayal ).
Exclusions: Acts of War or Political Intrigue.
* By “kill” I mean kill another person or persons.
Counter-examples welcome here or here, but please check all conditions are satisfied.
List of non-counter-examples:
There was a comment:
Not at all true, women are just as evil as men when it comes to murder. See: http://mentalfloss.com/…/8-sensational-female-murderers… ] Add to that Karla Homolka; Aileen Wuornos; Rosemary West; The “Blood Countess” Elizabeth Bathory; Lizzie Bordan; and Bonnie Parker of “Bonnie & Clyde” infamy.
Working through the list of 8:
1. Marie de Roux Manning : did not act alone, motive was financial or material gain.
Over the next two days, Marie cleaned out what valuables, cash, and stock certificates she could find at O’Connor’s home.
2. Constance Kent : is about as clear as mud, was 16 years old, and may have had the motive of competing against step-siblings.
3. Belle Gunness : financial motive.
4. Dagmar Overbye : financial motive ( paid to care for babies, murdered them instead ).
5.Jane Toppan : insane multiple poisoner. Found not guilty by reason of insanity, and was held in a mental institution for the rest of her life.
6. Mary Ann Cotton : murdered husbands, step-children ( motive, to favour her own interests ).
7. Amelia Dyer : another baby-farm murderer, financial motive.
8. Tillie Klimek : poisoned husbands for insurance money.
And the others:
1. Karla Homolka : didn’t act alone.
2. Aileen Wuornos : unusual serial self-defence claim, history of abuse.
3. Rosemary West : didn’t act alone, history of abuse.
4. The “Blood Countess” Elizabeth Bathory : a legend (died 1614). Witnesses may have been coerced : “All but one of the Countess’s servants testified against her–the one who refused had her eyes gouged out and her breasts removed before being burned at the stake.”
5. Lizzie Bordan : not clear : acquitted.
6. Bonnie Parker of “Bonnie & Clyde” infamy : didn’t act alone!

Reading some comments recently, the phrase “The dog that didn’t bark” came into my mind.
We are led to believe that Travis Alexander’s laptop and other computers had absolutely no pornographic material on them whatsoever. This has to be suspicious. There is something fishy about this.
