This is such an interesting thread. Reading through all the posts has given me different insights into the characters of Jodi & Travis. I don't always agree, but I can see many good arguments for why Jodi should have pled a crime of passion defense. I believe she intented to kill him & deserves a 1st degree murder conviction, but as many of this thread have pointed out she has a fragile ego & many women can identify with being used by a man they were in love with. I think if she had done that she would have avoided the death penalty I think she will receive. It's an insult to the jury to say she doesn't remember, she would have been better saying: I was out of my mind with rage & jealousy & all the hurt that had built up came out in a terrible rage. Also that she deepy regrets it- but this remorse is totally missing from Jodi, which is why I think she's dangerous. Also I believe with everything I have that Travis was not a paedophile, there was no evidence of this found on his computer & he seemed to like sex with the grown up Jodi just fine! I think she was the one dreaming up most of the sexual scenarios & like a kid in a sweet shop he loved it all & joined in himself. I don't believe she only recorded 1 conversation, I believe there were many more she deleted that show she was the one initiating him into all these fantasies. Even the one she kept was worse for her than him, he was desparately wanting to go to sleep, but she kept doing all she could to keep him on the line. He was actually sweet too, complimenting her on her looks. The most telling part of it though was when she said did he think they would find kinky Mormans like each other to marry, she was desparate for him to see they were meant for each other, but he didn't lead her on. Yes, it's tragic, but their time as a couple was relatively short lived, it's amazing to me she became d]so obsessed
