Questions that, as a juror, you'd submit to the judge in the Jodi Arias trial

**FlaFlaFlunkie** · 03-07-2013, 11:34 AM

"When was the last time you blacked out after killing someone but were able to drive away, toss your gun and clean yourself up?"
"What's the best temperature setting when laundering your camera?"
"When you stab someone multiple times, are you going for a pattern, or was your hand just getting tired?"

Have at it...

How can BubbleNose Mlaw think she and Mario are from the same generation?

Focus!

Questions only a psychokiller from Arizona would know. Throw in a cactus if you have to.

I'm not following that trial I'm holding out for the Trayvon fiasco

why did you lead the police on a chase through LA in your white Ford Bronco?

Can we see more nude pictures so we can get a better look into the character of the defendant?

I have a feeling that some mulyan may get to Zimmerman before the trial.

Florida doesn't let jurors ask questions in criminal trials. Only Arizona, Indiana and Colorado, so it won't be as much fun.

Could you imagine the look on the judge and attorneys' faces if you submitted that question during the Arias trial?

That'll get you out of jury duty, really fast.

If you're gonna be racist, at least spell mulignan correctly.

I had never heard of such a thing, it would be hilarious if they could just ask the questions, but they are reviewed by counsel and the judge

Well, they have to be, for obvious reasons (as you'd know). In the study I read, some of the more common problems were asking questions of the wrong expert witness or asking questions of a non-expert that requires expert knowledge.

I'll admit that there was one negative comment by an attorney after the NJ pilot program that I thought was interesting: it screws with the attorney's strategy because sometimes you don't want to ask "that" question of "that" witness because it might open the door to something else.
