We are in 10 min break during final closing of the #JodiArias trial. This was too long to tweet, but thought you all would be interested that during the lunch break, I cam upon Mr. Juror #8 looking down in wonderment through a second floor skywalk window at the bunches of TV cameras toiling away on the courthouse steps and plaza.

I asked him if during his time on the jury he was aware of all this attention?

He shook his head, not breaking eyes from the action below, no, no, he said.

Then he told me he was convinced the cameras below were for some other thing, not the #JodiArias trial.

I turned to the woman with him, presumably his wife. I asked her if she had been aware? No! she exclaimed. "It's crazy!" she said, her eyes wide.

Then I saw Mr. Juror #8 get that panicky look in his face, the one where a person looks trapped by a media member, he may have recognize me from long weeks of seeing me there but his wife wouldn't. I didn't want to cause him any further discomfort or trouble, so I thanked them and walked away.

Many people have made remarks that it is not believable that the jurors have not been watching TV or the net on this case. Well, Juror #8 and his wife are pretty good actors, then.

Judge just came in. See me at @CamilleKimball on twitter for closing rebuttal by Juan Martinez.
