An appeals judge overturned Judge Stephens' order to close the court to the public for witness testimony in the penalty retrial. Media sources had protested Stephens' decision and won. Media persons still can't televise or stream the retrial, but they can attend and report on the proceedings.
So...........the media is back in the courtroom for witness testimony.
But...........the witnesses are refusing to testify because they are reportedly afraid that they'll be identified and harassed, threatened or harmed.
Therefore....Jodi contends that she can't get a fair re-trial and wants the DP taken off the table.
The three witnesses in question haven't been publicly identified, but defense attorneys have described them as a longtime Arias boyfriend, one of her former co-workers, and a person who was a friend of Alexander before he met Arias.
Will this bitch's fate really be sealed by end of year? Man, I hope so.
