Arias: Will We Have Court 5/21?

I'm going on record right now with a prediction we'll have more drama tomorrow in the Jodi Arias trial.  Court is set to resume at 9:30am Pacific (11:30am Central) but we know it won't because it never has.

At 9:25am, Kirk Nurmi, et al, will walk into the chambers of Judge Sherry K. Stephens for another ex-parte meeting about how his client still isn't ready to allocute due to the inability to put forth mitigating witnesses.  While this may well be true, it'll also serve to buy Nurmi and Willmott more time to "seek remedy" for not getting a mistrial.  That should take about an hour and a half to conclude.

At 11:00am or so, the Judge will call for Martinez and the Alexander family and advise them Arias isn't ready.  This should take about fifteen minutes.

At 11:15am, the Judge will take the bench and ask counsel if there are any matters to present.  Either the Defense or the Prosecution may have something that will take, say, fifteen minutes to resolve.

At 11:30am the Judge will call for the jury and announce, "We are unable to proceed today.  Please be here tomorrow morning at 9:30am.  Please remember the admonition.  You are excused."



Just sayin'...
