So Jodi is all in for going forward with another penalty phase. She is still sticking to her 'I'm innocent' gig. She'll never accept that others don't buy into anything she says.
".....it is Ms. Arias desire to call witnesses during the re-trial of her sentencing phase, if and only if a full picture can be painted." (taken from the link above)
Well, that statement alone says hell has frozen over, because she will never paint a full picture of her life. Sad, but true.
Also, why not get the family to testify for her? It doesn't have to be the "abusive" parents. It could be the grandmother, aunt or some of the siblings. She should just offer up life and be done with it, no appeals. But she won't. She wants to get out again and believes she deserves it.
I'm starting to wonder if her family even wants anything to do with her now. Think about it. Her mom has been in court nearly every day, up until they took off on vacation at the very end of the trial. Who takes a vacation at the end of their child's trial, especially when it's obvious they are at the end of it? Did they finally get their fill of her lies and realize she wouldn't backtrack and take back what she said about them in court? IF I remember correctly, didn't her sister tweet or post something about them being on their way to the Grand Canyon when the verdict came in? I don't recall them mentioning Jodi in it. Sad to say, her 'family' may not want to get up in front of people and talk about her if they don't really have much good to say.
