Travis Alexander's sister, Tanisha Sorenson, leaves court after the judge declared a mistrial in the Jodi Arias sentencing trial in Phoenix on March 5, 2015.

Travis Alexander's family said they would have no comment as they left the courtroom Thursday morning after a hung jury let Jodi Arias escape a death sentence. Still, a reporter shouted, "How do you feel right now?"

Let's see. Travis' sister was sobbing. She had just exclaimed that "real justice will come in the afterlife, when Jodi burns in hell."

How do you think they felt?

I don't know why reporters still ask the dumbest question in the toolbox. Just retire it.
