Jane Velez-Mitchell is reporting live from Arizona during the final moments of the Jodi Arias trial. Senior Producer Selin Darkalstanian spoke to someone close to the Alexander family.  He told her that the family is in 2 different locations waiting (some are in a house in Phoenix and the others are at a condo in Tempe). They are anxiously waiting for Juan's call to come to court. They are nervous, and anxious, and have sweaty palms. HLN is on in every TV in the house. They are trying to pass the time the best they can. Some are swimming while others are sitting by the TV.  They feel like Juan did an amazing job and they each have different theories about why the jury is taking this long.
