The Defense argument is something like this:
Jodi premeditated and planned to murder Travis. She staged a burglary to get the gun, made plans for a "road trip" to end up at Ryan Burns' home in Utah, brings a knife, rents a car, dyes her hair, buys and borrows gas cans, puts her license plates upside down, turns off cell phone, neglects to visit any stops on this planned vacation, deletes photos, cleans the crime scene, manipulates those around her...
To argue that she acted in self defense/battered woman AND fit of passion is downright hilarious!! She committed a "crime of passion" WITH WEAPONS SHE BROUGHT!
So they must be thinking this is a clear case of PREMEDITATED PASSION? PREMEDITATED SELF DEFENSE? SELF DEFENSE MORPHING INTO CRIME OF PASSION? HUH?:floorlaugh:
