Martinez originally filed for an appeal, claiming that the allegations had been proven wrong by an internal investigation, despite the fact that Martinez had received a formal reprimand and discipline for the actions.
Martinez has also been under fire for his actions during the Jodi Arias trial. State bar charges filed against him indicate he leaked sealed information to a blogger whom he was having an affair with, during the sentencing phase of the Arias trial. His case had been referred to an independent counsel and was pending, but will not proceed now that Martinez has been disbarred.

It carries great responsibility and respect for the law and the people you supposedly represent. But this fucker had no respect for anyone or anything. No respect for the law, the court, the defendant. No respect for his own damn job!!!
He really thought he was bigger than the job. It was all about him and getting a conviction any frickin way he could. Fuck the defendant, fuck the court, fuck the evidence, fuck the LAW. He did whatever it took to get another notch in that tiny little belt of his. Now, I should like to know when Maricopa County and the State of Arizona are gonna grow some balls and investigate every damn case he ever prosecuted here.
Reopen ALL of them. You hired this jerk, Maricopa County, now you can bear the pain and responsibility of cleaning up the mess he left behind. And you know what?
I have said several times that Maricopa likely knew about many of these incidents and decided to disregard them because criminal law is a bottom line profession… either Guilty or Not Guilty.
Shauna Forde as well as any other male inmates. Please note how much those who know her heart care deeply for her as opposed to those two mean-spirited Judas characters seeking their 15 minutes of fame.
One clarification. No, PCR is not a slang term. PDF file, and nobody including Jodi talks about it. In my prayers every night Jodi! Self defense is not a crime. He may know he is done in Arizona and just wants to drag this out as payback. The next question would be… does any other state even think about interviewing him for another ADA position considering what he has now been shown to be in AZ? I think he pled out no contest, no admission of guilt similar to Nurmi.
Thanks for the clarification. I would like to believe that this ruling and the publicity that it has received would prevent him from practicing law anywhere in the US. I brought up the question of whether anybody had any idea about how long Jodi may have remaining on her state paid appeals before the clock runs out and that bill comes to her.
Hi to you Johnm! Please everyone Jodi still needs our help with her legal funds. Donate to help our Jodi!!!!! You might remember the Appellate Court not wanting to punish Martinez by overturning the verdict or reducing the sentence.
Btw, anyone know how the suit against Nurmi is going? How much is that estimated to cost? That is truly impressive and admirable. I too advised against the Martinez disbarment effort, on the grounds that it was very unlikely to succeed and funds were limited.
But I was wrong. The main remaining need is for more money for the future, privately funded appeals of her conviction. But there may be more in the future because Jodi said there are two other separate bar complaints on Martinez which may require pursuing in the future. How absolutely awesome of you Michael J. Your halo is shining extra special!!!! Remember we will never be disappointed or regret when we choose to help others.
Thank you!!! Jodi needs our help. Hope you are staying safe in Germany! They do seem to follow the lower courts a lot. I am assuming Jodi is very disappointed but maybe not surprised?
This is the opportunity, among other things, to present new evidence or allege ineffective assistance of counsel or judicial misconduct. It may take several years. If all state remedies fail, then Jodi must hire a private appeals lawyer to take her case into federal court. This begins with a habeas-corpus petition to the federal district judge.
If that judge does not grant relief, the case is appealed to the Ninth Circuit federal court of appeals. Only after all that could it end up with the US Supreme Court.
Thanks for all the new information Alan and what it means for Jodi going forward! I hope you are well too dude. I always said that the sad state of affairs in Arizona is a big part of why Jodi was charged and convicted the way she was in the first place.
It seems, unfortunately, that J gets dealt very bad cards all the time. Let me be wrong, something I usually never wish for hehe. I guess her odds increase on federal level though, but a.
Time is ticking and I find that just very sad for J. Sounds like France is better than Germany now. I have an aunt from Karlsroo who says that Merkel is thinking about locking down again like the UK.
Time will tell I guess. Other than being unemployed for over 3. I would love to send some money but the problem is… I need a job to do that!!!!!!
Oh no Lance, France is a mess already, and becoming worse, Covid wise anyway. France has like 4 or 5 times the Covid deaths of Germany which has around with a 80 million population, France 40 or 50 k deaths with a population of 70 million and the US k deaths with million citizens and even a way lower population density.. It really does seem that pandemic fatique has set in across the country, especially among young people who have been doing the math about the lower death rate among healthy people.
Pro and college games are getting delayed or canceled due to outbreaks on the teams. I remember that knife attack in Nice as it made National News… that is spooky! The job issue will be a problem for a while as I have been out for several years due to a collapse in my legal industry field and COVID causing widespread job losses as the unemployment claims number remains very high plus this week in the US. I am surprised that Kiefer would not know that info as well read and informed that we know he is.
I will be the first to admit that I do not know criminal appeals law, even in my own state. I do know that clock is still ticking and Jodi and JAII need to come up with a plan to create reasonable doubt that would convince an appeals court that Jodi was telling the truth. There is no overwhelming evidence for 1st degree murder in that whole fucking case, just for J being the one who killed him eventually, however it came to that point.
Outrageous imho…. I know from J that they got some self-made masks from an inmate production site which broke on day 1 for her lol, they got tested, no idea if repeatedly, etc. That sounds more like Kiefer. I would imagine he has to do that a lot out there. AZ has been a hotspot for a while now like the entire Midwest as you have heard on the news mainly due to many Republican areas defying masks and Trump rallies without masks etc. AZ had no choice on that issue very likely.
Martinez was criticized for writing a book about the Arias case and for his courtroom tactics, such as disregarding court rulings by repeating questions after a judge had overruled them. He apologized after an objection was made. We'll notify you here with news about. Turn on desktop notifications for breaking stories about interest?
