On our sister network hln and the judge was none too happy about that. >> mark, let me end with you. this was a biggie that came out today that the jury will not be going to the crime scene. why did the defense want this? >> i think they want to be able to bring a jury there so they can see all the angles and where everything happened and how things can happen quickly and where somebody might have been able to come around a corner or whatever. with all that said, i think the judge made a good ru...

The foreman shared insight during a recent television interview about what the jury was thinking while trying to decide on a penalty for arias. >> we couldnt allow ourselves to be emotional on the stand. we couldnt allow ourselves to show emotion though im sure some came through. im very proud of my peers and jurors that were with us because they did a fantastic job of holding it together. different story once we got back in the jury room. it was a gut-wrenching thing that we had to go through a...
