she shouldn t do it. she has a right to do it. she has the fifth amendment right to remain silent which stays throughout the trial although she agreed to waive it by taking the witness stand. she has a right to free speech. is this a good idea? probably not. she probably perceives the jury or some of the jurors are getting, are privy to some of the media in this case and she is probably realistic in believing that and it is realistic to think some of these tweets will get before the jury since they re not sequestered. whether they will create sympathy for her or influence the jury one way or the other, is a big risk. it may seem, it may make her seem that she is, you know, not at all cowed by the fact she is sitting through her own murder trial and maybe enjoying the publicity and that could have bad impact to the jury. jenna: supposedly she is
basically say anything. no matter what jodi arias did, no matter how many lies she told she would come to the same conclusion that jodi arias acted in self-defense. rick, court starts any minute. you can bet there will be something that happens today. we ll keep you updated for sure throughout the day. back to you. rick: thank you very much, adam housley in l.a.. jenna: well, today is day 45 of testimony in the jodi arias murder trial. just how long could it go on? that a question some of you might have. we certainly have that. here are some of the longest high-profile murder trials in history. this one, hall of fame running back o.j. simpson charged with murdering his ex-wife, nicole brown simpson and her friend ron goldman. that lasted in 252 days ending in a verdict not guilty. phil spencer was tried for the murder of actress lana clark son. specter was found guilty of second degree murder. that trial lasted 172 days. this is a name that you know as well.
she was only 14 then. she has never been honest with us ever since then. jenna: now jodi arias is even turning to twitter to weigh in on her own trial, at times taking aim at prosecutor. for example, one tweet reading, quote, hmmm, anger management problems anyone? bring in our legal panel. esther panitche criminal defense attorney and tom can any of. former prosecutor. laughing at this type of thing. according to reports she has a friend she calls at night and that friend puts her tweets on her twitter account, not verified twitter account by twitter.com i look for. esther, this allowed, so one on trial can, should do? well, it is two different questions. whether she can do it, yes. she can do it. she is not with her cell phone. someone doing it at her behalf or allegedly doing it
at her behest. unless the jail wants to cut off all communications and phone calls there is nothing she is doing is illegal. whether she should do it is whole another story. jenna: what do you think?. no, i don t think she should. juan martinez could subpoena the person writing these tweets and ask them if these are in fact comments she has made? and can impeach her even though she is not on the stand anymore. present this to the jury, she is mocking the system. that is what a lot of these tweets seem to be. jenna: tom, one. tweets we grabbed, she is talking about someone. this is the quote. he who tries to establish his point by yelling shows his reasoning is weak. there is lot of different things like this. she also takes aim at television hosts. we re not included on that we should mention. but jurors here are not see questionstered. sequestered. they re not supposed to read some of this media. what risk could this impose for the trial and what is the impact? i agree with esth
they have to have more taxes so they can spend more. they act like they re going to pay down the national debt. they will never do that. i have only been here 37 years now. i have to say every time they ask for taxes to pay down the debt, they got the taxes and just spend them and that s been the case every time as far as i m concerned. jenna: well it is interesting as you noticed, noted all the time that you spent in washington and it was your first meal in the family dining room in the white house. that is interesting to note, senator. we really appreciate the time you spend with us always and love talking to you. thank you so much. i have had plenty of other meals. that was one i never had before. jenna: we want it know about those too next time we come on. i will be happy to tell you about them. but on the qt. jenna: that is fine with us too, right, rick? rick: sure. jenna: got it, senator hatch, look forward to having you back. thank you, sir. thank you. rick: switching gear
