The Jodi Arias trial took another unexpected turn Monday when court was abrupty
canceled for the day after the Jodi Arias defense team asked for a mistrial and
asked to be let go from the case.
Judge Sherry K. Stephens denied the
mistrial and denied the defense team's wish to be taken off the case.
Meanwhile, one of the defense witnesses, Patti Womack, has refused to
testify after she received death threats.
The defense team has decided
to pull all witnesses, even Jodi Arias' mother, and only Jodi Arias will apper
before the jury in her own behalf.
Jodi Arias' defense team made it
clear that HLN has been very biased against Jodi Arias in
all of their
reporting including scathing remarks about Arias by HLN's on-air
personalities.
Judge Stephens had admonished the jury not to watch any TV
coverage about the trial, but court observers feel it is absurd to think the
jury did not go home and watch HLN's biased coverage of the trial.
