As a disclaimer, I do not support the death penalty. However, it sounds like a really bad case of voir dire in picking the jury. The hold out seemed questionable in her ability to even consider the DP. And the jury said she was pretty non-communicative in her reasoning for holding out. It actually sounds like she should have been pulled for violating her oath to participate. The other jurors said it became obvious that she lied, during voir dire, and she would never consider the death penalty in any situation.

I heard someone say that maybe it's time to re-look at the jury system and instead of unanimous decisions in criminal cases, go more the route of the civil case rules where a majority rules. It just takes one wild card.

I feel so deeply for the Alexander family but putting this horrible individual to death wouldn't really solve anything.

I'm pretty sure the judge will go for LWOP because the alternative would be political suicide.

It was ridiculous of the state to take it to the penalty stage a second time. The woman is a socipath, but killing her won't help anything.

I do not support majority verdicts for criminal cases, in either guilt or death penalty phase. The burden is high for a reason.

I got a big kick out of watching the prosecutor and wish they had televised this trial, too. But I think he was wrong headed in going after the death penalty, after the first hung jury.

I've served on 3 murder juries and can speak from experience that there are some really questionable people who get through voir dire.

Wow. I've been on one jury in a personal injury case.

Especially in a high profile case, like this. I've watched and followed this trial from the beginning and just hope she gets LWOP because I seriously doubt someone with her degree of psychopathy could ever be helped.

Death penalty should be decided by a coin flip. Take emotion out of it.

Wow, some of the comments! I probably wouldn't want to have Jodi Arias as my neighbor (would certainly turn down any dinner invitation), but many of the commenters seem to have an indecent preoccupation with putting other people to death in ever more gruesome manners. Hope none of them live anywhere near me, but the laws of probability say that at least one of them does.

Sentencing a woman to death is unusual.

I hope Judge Stephens sentences her to life without the possibility of parole.

Disclaimer: I am a death penalty opponent.

Arias should never see the outside of a prison again, but I think it was a mistake to try a second time for the death penalty.
