So I went to ABC 15 in Phoenix and read the whole 144 pages. I need a shower. This murderer was a moocher, drifting from one acquaintance to another and she refers to them as friends who allowed her to stay with them. She was never a responsible adult, never in a loving relationship, just drifting around, sleeping with whomever, as she calls it: hanging out. Her parents seem decent and likely didn't beat her at all. The cocaine incident I think was really about her and Bobby, not her parents. Anywho....she is pathetic. She meets Travis, takes up his religion and his workplace environment because she wants his life. But in all 144 pages, what sickens me most....the judge, yes JSKS, siding with the defense and not even understanding what the court of appeals and Juan Martinez was saying to her.
I took two things away from this transcript. If I am on the jury, she deserves the DP. No reason at all for what she did. She knew what she was doing. She planned it. No remorse. Nothing.
Second, if I am a resident of Maricopa county, Judge Stephens does not get reelected to office in 2016. If that seems harsh, read how she kept giving in to the defense, didn't understand the COA ruling, allowed Nurmi to interpret it, shot down JM at every turn, and broke the US Constitution by allowing this freaking murderer to be a star witness in her own private showing! Ugh. How anyone here can stand up for this judge again is beyond my wildest imagination. She is over her head.
