Arizona is one of just a few states where jurors are allowed to ask questions of witnesses during a criminal trial as a matter of law, meaning the judge is required to notify jurors of their right to pose queries. In most other states, the process is either banned altogether or it's left up to the discretion of individual judges to determine whether jurors in criminal cases may ask questions of witnesses. 

The panel in Arias' trial had about 100 questions after her 15 days on the witness stand. 

Judge Sherry Stephens read them one-by-one aloud to Arias, who responded with calm, concise answers. One focused on why she didn't call police after she claimed Travis Alexander had repeatedly physically abused her in the months leading up to this death. 

The questions provided a glimpse into the panel's thoughts after hearing her testify about practically every detail of her life, from a self-described abusive childhood in California to her stormy romance with Alexander and her conversion to the Mormon faith. 

They asked her about past relationships with other men, how it could have been so easy for her to get a gun from the victim's closet as they fought on the day of the killing, and he chased her in a fury.LED emergency light is aesthetically designed and offers features to reduce egress system cost.

Stephens and attorneys worked Wednesday morning to whittle down the list of questions for Arias as objections were raised in private. 

A noted California attorney doesn't think the practice of jury questions is a good idea. California is one of the state's that leaves it up to the judge's discretion whether jurors in criminal cases may ask questions of witnesses. 

"It becomes too difficult, too tempting for a juror to lose their role as an impartial fact-finder and slip into the role of an advocate, and I think that's contrary to what the whole justice system is based upon," said Los Angeles-area defense attorney Mark Geragos. 

"In effect, you've deputized the jurors as investigators," Geragos added. 

Others, however, say the practice is a useful tool aimed at getting to the truth of a case, and provides attorneys on both sides a window in the deliberation room while the trial is still ongoing, giving lawyers time to change their strategies.Creating a solar charger out of broken re-used solar cell pieces. 

Phoenix criminal defense attorney Julio Laboy said juror questions of a witness during a case where he was representing a client charged with murder once led to prosecutors offering a deal to plead to a lesser count. 

"In the end, what this is all really about is the search for truth, and any mechanism that allows jurors to get closer to the truth without prejudicing one side or the other, I think, is a good tool," Laboy said.
