A judge’s decision to allow live-tweeting during the Jodi Arias sentencing retrial has provided instant fact sharing from inside the courtroom at the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Tweets from the first week included the order of events in the actual murder and the graphic nature of the photos of Travis Alexander’s body that were shown to the jury.
The second week of the penalty-phase retrial began Oct. 27. Tweets took note of the replaying of a titillating phone conversation between Arias and Alexander and emotional testimony from Alexander’s brother and sister. Finally, the judge cleared the courtroom for a witness’ testimony.
The #JodiArias court just decided a defendant’s right to a fair trial trumps the public’s right to an open courtroom and to know

Judge closed the courtroom for the first defense witness in #JodiArias. I've never seen anything quite like this.

I don't believe this next witness is #JodiArias. She and her team have been protecting the ID of a mystery mitigation witness for months.

Jurors listening to TA singing Grateful Dead song “Truckin'” and dirty version of National Anthem-#JodiArias singing “a girl can't help it”

This is the 3d time I've had to listen to this tape in court. It's incredibly degrading, but consensual between Alexander and #jodiarias.

In #JodiArias' diaries, dated after she killed Travis, she writes she misses him more than words can say and wants to name her son after him

When I was 10 I lied to my dad over the phone about mowing the lawn…I sounded more tense than #JodiArias did in that post-murder voicemail
