Jodi Arias gets to represent herself

Skankadoodle looks bad...lol She gets to act as her own attorney during the sentencing re-trial. What a nut case.

No problem, almost everyone has done it at one time or another. Smile

Guess that will be her cause for appeal...a cra*p*py defense.

Re: Jodi Arias gets to represent herself

"It's actually probably a good idea to represent herself," said San Francisco-area defense attorney Daniel Horowitz. "She looks like a vicious psychopath with a ridiculous defense."

However, Horowitz noted, the jury "may find her pathetic."

"If she can get just one juror to bond with her on some level, even if they hate her, they're getting to know her, and it's harder to kill someone you know," he said.

Arias will have the task of arguing a death penalty case just four weeks from now despite having no legal experience and no college degree or high school diploma. Arias got her GED in jail.

From MSN News

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."

Even IF she bonds with one (or more), she will not bond with all 12.

Hung Jury = Judge Stephens gives the sentence (choice: LWOP, LWTPOP). I am guessing Judge Stephens is not fooled by any of this and she will get LWOP.

Which is what she should get in my estimation.

OMG! I feel sorry for this Jury, but I think they will convict her in a nano second just for torturing them!
