Hubris.

Did you hear Jodi tell Flores about one of her goals for that year? Overcoming her fear of hand guns. Guess she checked that one off her list.

My mother was a member of the church and members were encouraged to "testify" in front of members to acknowledge the sin on the record so to speak.

Also the first time I heard mention of the Cancun trip (Mayan ruins) was in the 1,000 Places To See Before You Die. For Jodi, that was her and Travis' thing not for Travis and any other woman.

Something tells me those newlyweds will always remember their wedding photographer - with or without the pictures! Quite a story to tell the grandkids. ; )

I would like to hear more about your feelings on the DP if and when you can share. Yes, most of us are appalled at public beheadings in places like Saudi Arabia so I think method and access (sword or needle, public square vs. private execution chamber) must make some difference. I imagine...

I'm not defending her actions and haven't read a single post here that does. This is the Armchair Psych thread and I like exploring the psychological reasons for why people do what they do no matter how heinous. Or especially the heinous. Full disclosure: I personally, professionally...

Yes indeed. Unfortunately a lot of women grew up thinking that way. Women of my mother's generation certainly did. My father's generation and my father held the belief that a women had two places in life, the kitchen and the bedroom. Lyrics from Mr. Sinatra's classic "Wives and Lovers"...

Me neither, I can't imagine contemplating it let alone doing it. I think that the dual message "you're bad and I like it" along with "your not good enough for me to be seen with you in public" would be crazy making. That crazy making for "normal" people would not lead to violence let alone...

I shudder to think of the horrors for women in certain factions in India, Africa and the middle-east.

I'm trying to understand and look to myself and people close to me. I know hypocrisy is a big trigger for me. And because of my family background, religious hypocrisy in particular. While I've never physically harmed anyone and will not, I have acted out and caused emotional harm. Dissonance...

Different laws in different states (FL "stand your ground" law). I think the most common interpretation of self defense is that a reasonable person would feel threatened under similar circumstances and therefore has a right to act to protect self or others. Has to be an imminent threat with few...

She's a consultant and qualified expert (legal distinction, not mine) who I believe was originally to be called as a mitigation specialist. Covers a wide variety of professionals who are often hired to work with the defense or prosecutor.

But work product does not just cover attorneys, could include the work of PIs, consultants, mitigation experts, etc.

I'm at a loss to see how that wouldn't be work product.

I thought the very same thing. Although given what we've heard, maybe there's a different name for or a different move that "technically" allows self-service - a la "stay moral - go oral", "grinding" or the "Provo Push".

Did anyone else notice in the interrogation that she says "I believe in the 10 Commandments but..." at that point the detective said something and she stopped. I REALLY wanted to hear what came out of her mouth next.

Remember the Seinfeld episode? I recently saw video capturing Henry Kissinger in the pick with the coup de grace - from the schnoz to the mouth. Ewwwww! Understand that he sought to keep that footage under wraps.

And stay safe this Easter weekend too LambChop! ; )
