"As she awaits a decision by prosecutors on the future of her murder case, Jodi Arias and her attorneys are returning to court Tuesday to ask the judge to throw out the jury’s finding that made her eligible for the death penalty."

I read that they (the defense) wants the death penalty off the table because they said the definition of "exceptionally cruel" was "too vague for jurors not familiar with the law". AYFKM?!? Seriously?? You don't need to be all that familiar with the law to know that 27 stab wounds, a shot to the head AND a near decapitation is an "exceptionally cruel" way to kill someone. Does the defense consider anything less than what Jack the Ripper did to Mary Kelly NOT exceptionally cruel?
The defense strikes me as getting desperate if they think people will believe that what she did to Travis is anything BUT cruel to the extreme.

I couldn't agree more!
Let's just hope the court sees it that way.

The defenses claim of the jury not understanding how to decide on "especially cruel" was just pathetic. You have a man murdered by a woman stabbed 29 times then shot, how in any way can that not be considered "especially cruel"? Even the medical examiner stated as such.

Like I said, the defense is coming across as desperate. Saying that the jury "doesn't understand" is insulting. How much more cruel would she have had to be for there to be *absolutely no doubt* about it? For it to be absolutely crystal clear, no "vagueness" as to what it was? And if you stop to think about it, an added bit of cruelty was taking those pictures of him right before he died. He *knew* he was a dead man when that shower picture was taken.
