juan as a very capable attorney, even though he s done some very shady things in my case, as far as hiding evidence and failing to disclose certain things, hoping it would just go away. but in the end, what does it t matter? it didn t hemi case. if you had to do this all over again, you re in the desert, you ve got blood on your hands. how do you handle it? i would turn around and drive to the mesa police department. all right. with me now to discuss the arias case is criminal defense attorney joe tacopina. let me start with the interview after the verdict because i think it still is one of the most stunning things that many of us have seen. jodi arias does an interview moments after she is found guilty of first degree murder and she says she wants to be sentenced to death. let s listen. i said years ago that i would rather get death than life and that still is true today.
has been lodged would lead to a life sentence, in a way, you know, the rest of it is sort of cosmetic, most certainly, additional counts will be added and frankly to me the biggest mystery is the brothers, why weren t they involved? what is going on with the brothers? a lot of questions about that too. we ll get to that with wendy in one second. are you 100% right on the issue of bond. $2 million in each case. in this case, four cases, the first case three cases of kidnapping and rape. a total of $8 million bond in this case, which you both seem to think is impossibly high. but let me ask you about the issue of the brothers. because it happened right there before ariel castro s charges, simply dismissed there. odd to happen it right there? odd for investigators to give up on them so quickly? it s a very important question. and, you know, people like me
