@PitchingAFit @mrsmojojojo88 You seem to have forgotten that JA's appeal was based on nearly 30 separate grounds. The Appeals Court MUST address each one independently, complete with an exhaustive analysis citing scores of precedents. Expect a 100+ page denial, which is never done quickly.
@PitchingAFit They're probably feeling guilty about burning through that first 100K on vacations, household appliances, and such. Well at least they've kept $200 in her canteen account - you know, for Beano and potato sticks and things. Cannot imagine a life like that..can you?
@NorthernGirl960 @ElMuertoArias Read the next paragraph. The SCOTUS overturned the Missouri Supreme Court's ruling. This has been established case law for 40 years, it's hardly a secret... Fortunately there won't be a retrial, as judge Stephens made no reversible errors.
@PitchingAFit @mrsmojojojo88 @GrammieV3@donnascalise The objections are to both a private attorney's and NBC's requests to record the hearing in *addition* to the court's own livestream, but there is no objection by anyone to the latter. https://t.co/4a4VF2qV4Z
@NorthernGirl960 @ElMuertoArias Hate to burst your bubble, but if there's a retrial the death penalty is off the table, she CANNOT receive anything harsher than the original sentence. SCOTUS decided that in Bullington v. Missouri, 1981. https://t.co/LewLBeI9ms
@PitchingAFit You're actually mistaken. AZ's Governor CANNOT pardon a Capital crime. And POTUS cannot pardon a state felony. So JA is kind of stuck in her cage, isn't she? As in, retrial on appeal, escape, or die in prison. That's it, kids.
@PitchingAFit If lawyers' post-conviction books are ever grounds for retrials, then every defense attorney will write one. The courts couldn't handle it..
@CinqueCaps @ImFixinToo Here in Florida, 12 jurors are only required for cases involving life or land - i.e. death penalty, or eminent domain. All other cases, 6.
