The comments about Martinez are so far off-base as to be laughable. He's the complete opposite of a famewhore and very highly regarded as a prosecutor. He's prosecuted many high profile cases before this one as well (Wendi Andriano, Doug Grant, Bryan Stewart, Scott Falater)...it's certainly not his first time at the rodeo.
I couldn't care less about Arias at this point...just another cockroach wasting oxygen and AZ tax dollars, the only question is for how many more years.

Most of the people only know Juan Martinez from the media blitz with the Arias trial. He is a professional and has served Arizona well over the years. He could have gone into private practice instead of serving the people in a lower paying state job.
The cases mentioned by fruitlassie didn't receive the world wide media blitz like the Travis Alexander murder. He is not a media hound he didn't ask for this notoriety and basically shied away from it. He is an excellent prosecutor, he didn't hold onto a yellow legal pad like most lawyers. He arrived ready to prosecute the guilty and he did an excellent job.

What's laughable is that you haven't actually rebutted any of the comments made. His behavior just doesn't support what you're claiming. Posing for photos and signing autographs for trial groupies(during the trial, mind you) is not indicative of someone who is "the complete opposite of a famewhore". It's not only unseemly, but potential misconduct. I also think it's strange that he gave his assistant virtually no TV time.
How he's regarded depends, I suppose, on who you ask. Nancy Grace and her sycophants clearly think he's Superman, Esq. Practicing attorneys and the AZ Supreme Court have offered another opinion. I personally find his courtroom antics immature and unprofessional.
He's won his share of cases, but of course, the DA is supposed to win. They only play ball when they think they can win. He's also lost his share(i.e. Grant). I just think the praise heaped upon this guy is overblown.
In addition Judge Stephens filed a ruling on May 27 regarding filming the trial. One pool camera will be allowed in a fixed location and all live broadcast shall have a 15 minute delay.
Thanks for updates...aren't getting many TV channels out here on Maui. Not much Greek or Mediterranean Food either, for that matter, lol. Missing the Vegas restaurants!! Will there be internet coverage at all?

Complain, complain!! And you are living on Maui!! Tropical breezes, beautiful blue water! Buy a cookbook and learn to cook Greek and Mediterranean food.
The way the Judge's ruling reads only one camera will be allowed and I assume all of the media will have to share the cam??? I don't know if that is how one camera is handled. I watched the first Arias trial on the internet via one of the Phoenix TV stations live stream. I did not watch HLN, too many commercial breaks and Vinnie, Jane, Nancy and Jean got on my nerves. HLN terminated one of the best legal analyst, Beth Karas.
In addition you can check out websites that offer live streaming:
I just don't know how one camera works, I guess we will find out. I hope this sentencing trial isn't long and drawn out like the first trial. Just get it over with.
Yeah, I finally found a grocery store with Kalamata olives and a goat farm with fresh feta, so I think I'll make it, lol.
Beth was the best of the crew, IMO. She was even-keeled and provided good judicial insights, and didn't appear to me to pick sides.
Does anyone know (or guess) if they are going to call the same witnesses all over again?
That's up to the prosecutor. He will call those witnesses that he thinks will convince the jury to give Arias the death penalty.
If I were in his shoes, even though her guilt is established and the fact that the murder was heinous was established, I would still want to put on plenty of evidence about how the crime was committed. Of course, I'd want as many photographs of Travis's wounds in as possible too.
I think its still possible there could be a last minute deal where Arias agrees to life without parole. That's how I'd like to end this case.

I don't think there will be a last minute deal, the prosecutor is going for the death penalty. What do you mean it's up to the prosecutor? What about the defense, will Nurmi and Willmott get to bring all their witnesses back in addition to Arias on the stand again?
