...and we can't watch the circus. Sumbitch!
You know, it wouldn't surprise me too much if Arias tried to reverse the decision to bar live media coverage from the courtroom. Her attorneys petitioned and fought for the barring, but Jodi loves the attention and I wonder whether she was fully on-board with her attorneys' strategy.
In any event, I feel for Judge Stephens and wonder how she's going to keep Arias adhering to all of the legal requirements and protocols to prevent Arias from doing (intentionally or unintentionally) anything in the courtroom that necessitates a mistrial.
The state of Arizona has spent way too much money on the murdering narcissist. And, Travis Alexander's family has waited way too long for closure in the case to have to start over, again.
Hoping that doesn't happen.
