Unless she agrees to fast track her journey to the needle, I think some of you are overly optimistic about how much time Jodi will spend on Arizona's death row. I know that the average stay between sentence and execution is 12 years, however only men have been executed in Arizona since capital punishment was reinstated in 1976. I wouldn't necessarily use it as a barometer for female prisoners. One of the State's three female inmates (the one whose conviction was recently overturned on appeal, and now Arizona is appealing to the US Supreme Court) has been there for 23 years. Pointing this out only as a reality check. There is no way JA won't take advantage of every opportunity to appeal her conviction and/or sentence. And while she is too much of a coward to face the Alexanders in person during the victim impact statement proceedings (suck it up Jodi, you won't get your way), prison will further harden and reinforce her blame everyone else mentality. I think she'll find tremendous satisfaction--make that completely enjoy--knowing that it could be decades before she is put to death. When she comes to her senses, she may legitimately want the DP because in her sick and twisted mind it feeds her victimology and also allows her to stick it to the Alexanders time and time again. JMO.
