Thank you for posting this. I'm glad someone wrote about this, and said it so well. I had wondered the exact same thing.

If Jennifer Willmott and Sandy Arias truly believe that Jodi acted in self-defense and that she was the victim, how can they be so cheerful and smiling when they talk to the press? Why don't they seem consumed with grief that she was not believed and that she will never be free?

Watching Juan in that interview, I began remembering how brilliant he was during the trial, even given the fact that he was in the courtroom everyday without other counsel around him. I haven't watched a lot of trials, but in the few that I have seen, Juan is the only prosecutor who I was drawn...

Class all the way. Before yesterday it had been almost two years since I'd seen Juan, and I never really forgot about him. Throughout the first trial when it was time for him to question a witness, it was always such a relief. He left quite an impression. I love him.

I have no sympathy or empathy for Nurmi. The way he led Jodi through her testimony was infuriating and I found him loathsome. I realize it's his job, but his job is a necessary evil and he was willing to do it. He's a sex defender by trade, and I assumed there was a possibility that he...

I wonder how Dr. Samuels and Alyce LaViolette feel about the fact that their testimonies defining and corroborating Jodi's "fog" were publicly debunked yesterday, and by none other than Jodi herself? Of course, they knew they were lying in order to make money testifying on her behalf, but I...

Death toll rises to three, with eight people infected. I realize this is still a rare disease, but how sad for the loved ones of those who have died, and how unexpected. What a nightmare. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/09/yosemite-hantavirus-third-death.html And this, from the...

I wonder too. I suspect that knowing the content of that conversation with her brother would add an important piece to this puzzle. If Diane was a "I'll show you who's boss" type, any criticism or demands from her brother that day may have made her indignant and, impaired by the drug and...

It's frightening to think humans can contract a deadly virus by simply inhaling air particles of rodent urine or saliva.

Thanks, I didn't know that. Do you know if the threats were reported to the owners of the salon? Because I was thinking that if the threats had been reported to the owners, then they could have called the police themselves and maybe hired armed security until the guy's threats were checked out...

Thanks, scrabble. Those details are interesting. I feel so sorry for that couple. The brutality is simply frightening.

I'll never understand murder in general, but this kind is particularly baffling. How is this even humanly possible? It's so sad and horrific.

A quote from the article posted above: These types of threats need to be taken seriously. There is a lot of good information out there regarding red flags for workplace violence, but it's probably impossible to get the word out to all employees. I only wish everyone knew the warning signs...

I read that Melissa Lucio had 12 children before she murdered Mariah, and then had twins while in prison. Since the state was heavily involved in her life -- CPS was often involved with her children, she collected $5,000 a month in welfare (even while consistently testing positive for cocaine)...

It seems the psychological and moral possibilities have been exhausted since we have very little personal information about Diane. We don't know very much about her personality such as her emotional maturity level, if she had a temper or a tendency toward anger or vengeance, etc. It sounds...

(I was writing basically the same thing, but when I tried to post it, I was suddenly logged out and lost my post. I'm going to try to remember what I wrote.) Some posts seem to be implying that Diane was a victim of Daniel in their marriage. Diane and Daniel were together for 13 years and...

I agree that it's quite possible that Daniel hasn't gotten good advice regarding public relations, and I'd bet the attorneys approached him in the beginning of all of this for their own purposes, i.e., media exposure. I don't think that Daniel's defense of his wife is self-serving, but rather...

Regarding reports that Diane was a heavy drinker, all I found were some early reports (from 2009) in the NYT and New York Post which quoted the sister-in-law about the occasional pot smoking and then said that one of the attorneys claimed she had told the D.A. that Diane was a heavy drinker. I...

I agree with everything you said. I cannot imagine what it was like for Daniel to suddenly find out that he had just lost his wife and baby daughter... forever.

Very clear and interesting explanation on your thoughts about Diane, twinkiesmom. I understand your point of view. I forgot to add this in my earlier post regarding: I think that this is what is motivating Daniel more than anything else.
