Heartbreaker:
I think for the penalty phase which starts tomorrow, the sequence is as follows:
1. Victim impact statements
2. Pleas for leniency/mercy from Arias's side, including Jodi if she wishes (she may choose not to express remorse, even if she actually felt any, because that could hurt her in appeals)
3. Jury sentencing deliberations
I don't believe they are subject to cross-examination.
