Letter from Jodi Arias to GB. Read it for yourself in its entirety.
Transcription for those who have trouble reading:
Curious George –
Chill. Your “concerns” are not your concern. Art by Jodi Arias is not a publically traded company, it is a private business. Therefore, where the revenue goes is nobody’s business but my family’s. As for the concerns of other supporters, I consider that a natural reaction to the confusion, doubt and suspicion that you and Jason have take it upon yourselves to whip up around my art. You two are the only ones who’ve been harming sales, and my family and I do not appreciate it in the least. I do not need you to put out a statement. I need you to stop putting out statements. You’re not helping, you’re hurting.
The only reason I told you that Ben drives a new custom-ordered BMW and owns a home with no mortgage was to illustrate that he doesn’t need the comparative pennies generated from art sales. He achieved the above personal financial milestones we before he began assisting with my art. You cite a so-called “lengthy criminal record” and quote an unnamed PI’s meaningless opinion. I’ll bet he’s unnamed because he doesn’t want to become a laughing stock by warning of the dangers of a man whose record boosts some whimpy misdemeanors (Can we at least get a felony on this guy? Just one? No?...) The next time you consult a PI, George, rethink your source.
You would also have me disassociate from SJ, who has been supportive of my family and I for years, who has no criminal record, and who my family can assuredly avow has never stolen one dollar from them. This has been verified.
In the statement you mentioned you and SJ argued about your failure to disclose that your statement consisted of negative, unfounded rumors about SJ. George, be honest with yourself. If someone were about to slander you with a bunch of trumped up propaganda wouldn’t you desire to set the facts straight? These publications you cite refer to a man called Simon John Hill , not Dapinderpal Farquar Dunderlumpton. Simon John Hill is a highly common name, especially in the UK and other English-speaking countries (I even know of a John Hill who lives in Vacaville, California.) I’d be willing to bet that there are many Simon John Hills in the UK and at least one in each of the 50 states in my country.
You said in our brief call that you want to create distance between Ben and I, and SJ and I (it was implied) because of their oh-so-shady histories. But then you would have me align myself with Jason, who has enormous talent. But this makes no sense, George, because by your own standards, Jason, who has numerous felony convictions would be the one I should be staying farthest away from (What’s that smell? Is that a double standard? Or an ulterior motive?)
Let’s break it down succinctly in a chart: (FB won't allow chart format)
You suggested “electing” who should handle my art. Let me kindly reiterate that this is not a company on the stock exchange. When it comes to how my art is managed, the only votes that count are my family’s and mine—and the voters have spoken.
As I said to you the other day, if people are donating to the JAA Appellate Fund at justice4jodi.com, they have a right to know where their money is going and how it’s going to be used because they are investing a cause they believe in. Private businesses don’t answer to investors. You wouldn’t ask the owners of a small shop what they do with their money. If you did you would be considered a rude customer. Butt out. Seriously. The only ones harming art sales are you and Jason—people who’ve attacked my art. Only a hater does that. Rest assured that my family can log into the PayPal account they want and monitor every transaction from the first to the last. We know what we are doing. That’s all the confidence that needs to be established, because again a lack of confidence didn’t exist until you and Jason began your hate campaign. So to be technical, you have moved to the dark side—that of hate. I’m a forgiving person, especially for you Geroge, because you’ve been truly supportive in the past. I am aware of your generous donation to the appellate fund and I remain very grateful for your contributions to my future. When you are ready to come back to the light, look me up. For now, I have a life-or-death trial to prepare for and I feel like I’m battling Juan with one hand, and you and Jason with the other. Together, you two have caused me more stress in the last month than anyone or anything else in the last year. This is a crucial time for me and I can no longer allow bickering trouble-making “supporters” to distrust me. Bury the hatchet with SJ. Don’t carry a grudge over one spat. If you want to lead people then cultivate unity and stop causing dissension. I hope you and your family are well. We’ll talk again. —JA

Don't know if this is new but peeps are saying it is..anywho..here it is..

September 1, 2014

A retrial of the sentencing phase was set, and Jodi Arias has been using every stall tactic and delay she can find to avoid the inevitable, her sentencing. Now, one year later, the wheels of justice are about to turn again with the latest stunt by Jodi Arias being that she has chosen to self-represent. With jury selection expected to begin on September 29, updates are occurring weekly in preparation of the retrial of the sentencing phase of the Jodi Arias trial.

For the average trial watcher, it is very easy to get confused about what stage of the process Jodi Arias is at when it comes to facing sentencing for the brutal slaying of Travis Alexander. With so many delays and stall tactics on the court dockets, it almost looks like the entire trial is going to get repeated. This is not the case, and it seems almost as though even Jodi Arias is confused by this.

The phase that is about to begin in the Jodi Arias trial is merely a retrial of the sentencing phase. However with Jodi Arias choosing to self-represent in her defense, the steps she is taking in that preparation give the impression that she thinks this is an all new opportunity to explore whether or not she is innocent in this case. Indeed she is not.

Jodi Arias is a convicted felon, who is currently serving time for first degree murder while she awaits sentencing to determine just how long she will serve. Her sentence will be either life in prison with no parole, life in prison with a possibility of parole, or the death penalty. Either way, as soon as this trial is over she is heading over to Perryville State Prison to ride out the remainder of her life.

The retrial of the sentencing phase in the Jodi Arias trial is a retrial to determine just that, how long will her sentence be? It is not a new investigation, a new trial, or a new determination of her innocence or guilt. Jodi Arias is a convicted felon, and has been found guilty of first degree murder with the required elements that make her eligible for the death penalty. This will not change.

Even so, it appears that Jodi Arias has taken this retrial as a new opportunity to try and save herself, and is taking every chance she can get to treat this trial as a new chance to portray what she believes is her innocence. The latest stunt following her motion to self represent includes the hiring of a private investigator to re-investigate abuse allegations, as previously reported by the Toronto Relationships Examiner.

The next step in Jodi's preparation includes a revisit to the crime scene, according to HLN Aug. 30. This is a very disturbing turn of events for many, because Jodi's innocence is no longer in question. Why would a revisit to the crime scene help her in her efforts to avoid the death penalty?

This remains to be seen, and this latest development in the case is a development that disturbs Arizona residents, the family and loved ones of the victim Travis Alexander, and also the people that are currently living in the home where Jodi Arias killed Travis Alexander.

HLN reports that a Maricopa County Superior Court minute order filed last week has requested the courts to grant an investigator for Jodi Arias access back into this home. The minute order shows that this motion was granted, and that prosecutor Juan Martinez is to allow this investigator access into Travis's former home "no later than this week."

The presence of blue ribbons on almost every tree on the street where Travis once lived, illustrates that even five years later, the entire neighborhood formerly loved by Travis Alexander clearly supports the man whose murder has been the subject of this trial. The home, located on East Queensborough, is located inside a beautiful subdivision in Mesa, Arizona.

Along with the blue ribbons decking almost every yard, one neighbor even has a sign on the front lawn reading, "Justice for Travis."

This is the same neighborhood that after six long years will be subjected to the same scrutiny experienced then, as the preparations for the retrial of the sentencing phase for Jodi Arias ensues. This round of scrutiny that involves a private investigator entering the former home of Travis Alexander is not expected to last past this week, according to the minutes of the motion entered in the Maricopa County Superior Courts.

Even so, that this motion was even granted is something that Mesa, Arizona, residents, and supporters of Travis Alexander and his family simply do not understand, or even approve of. Nancy Bowen a resident of the state recently shared her thoughts on this with Arizona Family, thoughts that many in the area seem to concur with. She said,
"I think it's ridiculous. Why carry this on any further than you need to? There's people living in that home."

Arizona Family reports there are some neighbors who believe this may be an optimistic turn of events for those seeking expeditious closure in this case.

How does the family that is now living in this home feel? Probably violated. If the same family lives there now, that spoke with CNN last year about this case, this is a family with children that has experienced privacy intrusion almost since they moved in.

After the death of Travis Alexander, his home that was previously valued at $250,000 went into foreclosure. One year after his murder, the family that lives in it now purchased it in foreclosure for approximately $200,000. The owner of the home who does not wish to disclose her identity for obvious reasons told CNN last year,

"It's a very loving home, it's got a…a very sweet spirit in it."
She also discussed the state of the home when they first looked at it before agreeing to put in an offer. She said things were missing, like faucets, showers, even carpet. Crime scene photos taken immediately after the murder, and prior to the sale of the home, reveal that sections had been removed from the home for forensic analysis.

One such section was a sizable section of carpet outside the master bedroom closet where Juan Martinez believes Travis Alexander bled out after having been stabbed multiple times. This section is noted in crime scene and floor plan diagrams entered as evidence in the trial as a standard floor plan, with a large red circle noting the pool of blood Travis Alexander left as a result of Jodi Arias's brutal stabbing. Another section, almost directly across from or adjacent to this section is a section of the wall where drywall had to be removed. In this section a bloody handprint that placed Jodi Arias at the scene was removed for forensic analysis.

The new owner of the home stated to CNN last year these details were evident when they took their first viewing. The evidence that a crime had been committed was clear, but the new owners to be had no idea what had really happened in that home until much later. Initially she said,

"We thought the home had been vandalized."
Even with so much missing from the home, the new owners put in an offer and have moved their family into the home. The new owners assured CNN that everything is new, it looks nothing like it did when the home of Travis Alexander was being documented as a crime scene.

"Everything is new in the home. The shower is new, the carpet is new, everything is new."
She also told CNN what it is like to live in a home that has become one of the most famous crime scenes in America.

"We've had people pull in our driveway and stop and park and get their cell phones out and take pictures of the house."
The family had hoped, like the family of Travis Alexander, that peace would come last year with sentencing. Instead, Jodi Arias has created victims of yet another family, by having them wait through the duress of being subjected to this privacy violation over, and over again. Does it bother her?

Absolutely, says the new homeowner. She has children who live in the home, and she wants this entire situation to be over as soon as possible so that they too can go on with their lives. These statements were made over one year ago when the sentencing of Jodi Arias during the Jodi Arias trial was in sight.

This family is just one of the many families then that has become another victim of Jodi Arias. Will their own violations and suffering be complete by the end of 2014? Time will tell. In the meantime, the new owner of the former home of Travis Alexander makes her position on the case clear to CNN,

"I very much love Travis, I love Juan Martinez, and I love Detective Flores. I am hoping that once this trial is over, this can kind of become our home, instead of Jodi Arias' home or Travis Alexander's."
And, as most trial watchers familiar with Jodi Arias stunts know, this is not the only update or even the latest stunt on the Jodi Arias trial. Those expecting Jodi Arias to try to be able to get away with as much as she can, should take comfort in the fact that Prosecutor for the State of Arizona, Juan Martinez is keeping a very close eye on Jodi as her own lawyer and isn't afraid to file motions for sanctions against her if she slips up.

As of Friday Aug. 29, he's already proven he is on the ball, and has already filed his first motion to sanction Jodi Arias. It appears from the motion filed with the Maricopa County courts on the afternoon of Aug. 29 that Juan Martinez is having problems getting required information from Jodi Arias.

Jodi Arias has not only not submitted her list of witnesses and their contact information as she is required to do, but by the looks of it, she is refusing to do so. In a motion filed to sanction Jodi Arias, Juan Martinez says that not only has he not been given the information she is legally obligated to provide, but that she is refusing to do so.

The State asserts in their motion,

"The State of Arizona by the undersigned Deputy County Attorney, requests that the court order defendant to disclose the address of witnesses she intends to call for trial as required by Rule 15.2 © (1), Ariz. R. Crim. Pro. On August 20, 2014, the court ordered defendant to provide the State with a mechanism allowing the State to contact witnesses noticed by the defendant, whether it be a telephone number or address. Advisory counsel Jennifer Willmott refused to provide any of the required information and instead indicated that the issue would have to be addressed directly with the defendant in court."
A full copy of the motion for sanctions can be seen in the slideshow. The motion for sanction further requests that the court order the immediate disclosure of this information, or, alternatively, requests that the court preclude these witnesses from testifying at trial if the information is not forthcoming from the Jodi Arias team prior to trial.

Jodi Arias is expected to appear in court September 2 to answer to these allegations. Whether or not she will be sanctioned, or lose the opportunity to have these witnesses testify, remains to be seen.

In the legal arena, motions for sanctions are made for a variety of reasons, in both civil and criminal matters, when court rules and procedures are not accurately followed. When court rules and procedures are not followed, the court can even consider this misconduct. The party that objects to the behavior or action files the motion, and if the court agrees, a sanction will apply.

Although rules will vary state by state, in most court matters, civil or criminal, whether one is suing someone for $50 or facing the death penalty, the handing over of witness information is always required. This is a fairly straightforward court rule for most Americans. Why would Jodi not hand over this information?

Is this just another example of how special Jodi thinks she is? It appears that Juan Martinez is on it.

According to US Legal,

"Sanctions are a financial or other penalties imposed by a judge on a party or attorney for violation of a court rule, for receiving a special waiver of a rule, or as a fine for contempt of court. The sanction may be paid to the court or to the opposing party to compensate the other side for inconvenience or extra legal work."
Whether or not the State is seeking monetary penalties from Jodi Arias at this time remains to be seen. In the motion to sanction Jodi Arias, the State asks that if she is not compelled to provide the information requested, that her witnesses not be allowed to testify. Depending on the strength of her witnesses, this could likely hurt her case, it would likely be bad news for her if she lost the chance to have those witnesses testify. Clearly she believes they are important enough to hide their identities, having them struck from the list of witnesses then would likely be a blow for her.

It would of course be in Jodi's best interest to supply the information, but to many this is being seen as just another one of her games. America knows that Jodi loves the spotlight. Many have speculated since she was granted the opportunity to self-represent that cameras would soon be allowed back in the courtroom. A source has told the Toronto Relationships Examiner that motions of that nature are in the works which is also a surprising, but not so surprising, turn of events in the Jodi Arias trial.

This rumor however has been swirling since Judge Sherry Stephens ruled that cameras would not be allowed. Now that Jodi has been granted the access to be the star of her own show, what do you think the likelihood of that happening is?

It may be a very short retrial of the sentencing phase of the Jodi Arias trial if she is not permitted to show her witnesses. The sooner she provides that information, and complies with all of the same rules and protocols that everyone else in America has to comply with, the sooner this case can continue, and close, in as speedy a manner as possible for Travis Alexander and his loved ones.

The State vs Jodi Arias ~ Travis Alexander murder trial
20 hrs ·
Today's hearing mostly concerned "housekeeping" matters for the trial. Juan Martinez complained that Arias has not yet provided him with the addresses and contacts for some of her witnesses. Arias replied that she didn't have the addresses and would have to get them from her advising attorneys, Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmott.
But then Arias noted that Martinez had not listed all of his witnesses, either, to which he replied that he could not do so until he had spoken to hers.
Arias said her witnesses didn't want to be interviewed by the State because of the manner in which Martinez 'handles them'.
She also said she didn't want Martinez or Det. Flores to contact her witnesses prior to their interview.
The court wants all witnesses interviewed by Sept 8.
Tomorrow's hearing is closed as witnesses will be present.
Further hearings this month:
Sept 4: Pre-trial hearing
Sept 15: 8:15a - Jury questionnaire to be discussed; 8:30a - camera motion to be ruled

PHOENIX (KSAZ) - A group collecting money for Jodi Arias' defense has released a recording of a conversation with Arias. In the phone call, Arias asks a different group to stop using her name to collect money.

This is the first time we've heard her voice since first trial.

Despite being convicted of killing Travis Alexander, Jodi Arias still has a legion of supporters. Some of them are even raising money for her defense.

"I want the collection of money to stay within my family," said Arias in a recorded jail house phone call posted on JodiAriasIsInnocent.com. In the call, Arias demands a different web site stop raising money in her name.

"Someone had told her that you had said online last night that I was supportive of the site and I don't want to give people that impression because I can't support the site right now as long as you guys are collecting money," said Arias.

Arias tells the woman she wants all donations to go to the fund being run by her family.

"The problem is that when people donate to a cause they believe in, they wanna know where the money is gonna go. But at this point, they don't know where it's gonna go unless they donate to the trust. It can only go there."

In a separate development, the court corrected an error on documents recently released, which stated Arias was asking that an investigator visit the scene of the bloody murder. The court said Arias never actually made that request -- instead she asked to have access to evidence in the custody of the Mesa Police Department.

Her sentencing retrial will begin on September 29.

PHOENIX -- Jodi Arias won't represent herself in the penalty phase of her murder trial after all.

She said she was going to represent herself in the case Aug. 4, but changed her mind Wednesday.

It is unknown who will represent her.

Arias, 34, was convicted of first-degree murder last year in the 2008 killing of Travis Alexander, but jurors couldn't reach a decision on sentencing. Under Arizona law, while Arias' murder conviction stands, prosecutors have the option of putting on a second penalty phase with a new jury in an effort to secure the death penalty. She could also be sentenced to life in prison.

Arias, who long clashed with her defense lawyers and tried to fire them previously, asked Judge Sherry Stephens last month to let her serve as her own lawyer during the second penalty phase. Stephens granted the request but said there would be no delays.

"I do not believe it is in your best interest ... I strongly urge you to reconsider," Stephens told Arias before granting the motion.

Her latest move may come as a shock to some. A few experts believed Arias stood a good chance representing herself, not because of her skill, but because it could spare her life.

"It's actually probably a good idea to represent herself," said San Francisco-area defense attorney Daniel Horowitz. "She looks like a vicious psychopath with a ridiculous defense."

However, Horowitz noted, the jury "may find her pathetic."

"If she can get just one juror to bond with her on some level, even if they hate her, they're getting to know her, and it's harder to kill someone you know," he said.

The three-page document by her court-appointed attorneys notes that Arias is relinquishing her right to serve as her own lawyer, "effective immediately upon filing."

Judge Sherry Stephens previously granted Arias' motion to serve as her own attorney after conflicts arose with one of her lawyers over trial strategy. Attorney Kirk Nurmi then sought to quit the case, noting in a motion that "a completely fractured relationship between counsel (and client) now exists."

Stephens denied his request, and ordered Nurmi and another lawyer to remain on as legal advisers to Arias.

Stephens previously told Arias she could change her mind and relinquish her right to represent herself. Her court-appointed attorneys will now again take over as lead counsel.

The retrial is set for Sept. 29.

I was really looking forward to this maniacal killer represent herself. Guess she finally realized that as smart as she is  she was way above her head. Whoever is going to represent her is IMO doing this for the notoriety and would bet is doing it pro bono.

If Bozo was licensed in AZ, I have no doubt she would have hired him.

Regardless, this attorney will be NO match for Juan.

Am wondering if Wilma and Nurmi are stepping down.

He looks like he's aged 10 years!! Poor dude!

September 22, 2014

A judge has denied a request for video coverage during the Jodi Arias death penalty retrial.

In Judge Sherry Stephen's ruling, released Monday, video will only be allowed after the verdict.

The ruling was released Monday ahead of Arias' return to court for a hearing. The penalty phase retrial is scheduled to begin Sept. 29.

Stephens had taken a motion for less restrictive camera coverage into consideration a week ago.

A lone camera will be allowed inside the courtroom and tweeting will be allowed. Stephens had previously said she would not permit video to be broadcast until after the verdict.

A media lawyer had argued for 30 minutes of broadcast coverage at the end of each day of the penalty retrial.

In court documents, it was noted:
The Court is mindful of its obligation to allow public and media access to the trial. That access should not include live broadcast of the trial prior to a verdict for the reasons addressed in previous sealed proceedings. The public and media may attend the penalty phase trial each day. The media will be permitted to videotape the trial each day using their own equipment. The videotaped recordings may be played after a verdict has been reached. During the trial, Court policy allows the media to "tweet" from the courtroom. A still camera has been authorized to be in the courtroom during the trial. At the conclusion of the trial, the Court's FTR recordings will be available to the public following a public record request and payment of required fees. In the event there are insufficient seats in the courtroom, Maricopa County Superior Court Administration has authorized an overflow room for those who wish to view the trial.
The only visuals allowed on a daily basis will be still photography.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced Monday his department would not grant any media interview requests with Arias.
