Carried over from previous thread:
Note sure why you quoted my post, as I agree with you. I believe that he was shot last, he was bleeding when shot...
Quoted for continuity only.
Why bring the gun as well? Added insurance that what she went there to do (YES, I beleive she premeditated this) would be done and Travis would never look, love or touch another person..... ever
Not to get ahead of myself, but I have someone in my past who I refer to as my "psycho ex-girlfriend" who, on explaining her behavior to those who know, was forensically head-shrunk as a "Borderline Personality, Narcissistic Type". Although that's not a sociopath or psychopath, it's within the spectrum of the "Dark Triad". She was beautiful, charming, venomous.
What this meant for me, although I didn't get it at the time, was I was either a saint or satan in her eyes. When her pendulum swung against me, and I was responsible for the train wreck that was her life, the sheer vindictiveness she could display was breathtaking. When I finally got a clue the answer, after some fits and starts, was to cut her off entirely. No being friends. No consolation prize. With her, good times was simply, figuratively speaking, a stay of execution.
Arias took her personality disorder to the level of literal execution.
Although Jodi Arias wasn't abused. I'm sure in her twisted mind she feels as if she was the moment she wasn't getting her way. People like her are parasite who eventually kill the host.
So when people try to impose their own reasonable standards on the behavior of someone with her level of personality disorder, it's just not going to make sense. Their idea of love is bound up with hate, rage, possession. Unless you've actually dealt with a person like this in an intimate relationship you have no idea how vindictive they are and how far they can pull you down the rabbit hole.
From Travis Alexander's "sociopath" texts, it's clear he intellectually figured out what he was dealing with. That doesn't mean he completely "got it".
Oh, here we go with the questions. I hope the jury gets it.
