I bought it and am reading it now. It's good - there's a nice tone of sarcasm all the way through towards Arias plus good analysis of her testimony and all of its (and her) flaws. I think she's a bit harsh and judgemental on some of the other players - they were young and I feel she mocks them for working at Subway or whatever and that bugs me a bit but overall the writing is very good. And even though she is too harsh on the supporting cast of ex-boyfriends IMO she is pretty funny in how she goes about it, especially Bobby Juarez's vampire thing. And of course the main barbs are saved for the 'leading lady'. She has her number that's for sure. Almost makes me want to watch the direct testimony with the book in hand - I've always avoided that and just jumped straight to the cross.
As to why she flunked kindie - a baseball bat used for non-sporting activities, stealing Madison's butterfly drawing and claiming it as her own, choosing to take the 'Don't feed the goldfish' sign literally, projectile vomiting pea soup? Could be any of those IMO. I'm up to where she confronted Bianca - the whole Matt thing is also both funny and illuminating - as the author says, Arias doesn't have a heart but she does have an ego and it keeps getting broken by these no-good cheating boyfriends.
I have always wondered why she has not used the lens of her glasses to end it all. She obviously isn't disturbed by the sight of blood. JMO

Juanito to interview w/his not-so-secret lover Jen of Jen's Trial Diaries. Will he reveal exactly HOW he destroyed exculpatory evidence?
I've been trying to find other pre-sentence memorandums filed by defense lawyers on behalf of their client. Luckily, the Prosecution get to file one, too! Whoohoo!
I've only found one, (NY v Richard Dupont and it's not murder) but I'd love to find many more to be able and compare nurmi's. I'd especially like to find those of premeditated convicted murderer's. Do they exist?
The one I did find attaches letters of support from the defendant's peers. http://www.johnklotz.com/dupont2.htm
No letters of support or mother's tears attached to cmja's?

Late to the party ,it's now 2: 30 pm Phoenix time, and the world time clock it's 10:11 PM your time. On Monday court will start at 8:30 am Phoenix time, and your time will be 4:30pm. The UK is eight hours ahead of Phoenix time.
Thanks for that. I was actually thinking of the "letter" that Juan's Tie (?) created that used cut-and-paste words/letters from Jodi's journals to create a bogus "confession" written by Jodi. This showed how easy it is to create fake documents like the pedo letters.
I'm downloading the book from Amazon, thanks for a better review than theirs. You should post yours on their "Feedback" page.
Nothing more.What does Arias herself believe on this subj.? I think she does harbor a v. high opinion of her mental gifts.
hahahaha "knock her brains out" assuming she has any :thinking:
I would like to plan a special meal for sentencing day complete with an appropriate cocktail. any ideas? No favorites of CMJA please. I would choke :laughing:
I'm going to buy 2 awesome cinnamon rolls for me and my Grandaughter, and enjoy them during her sentencing tomorrow because CMJA can't ever have a REAL cinnamon roll ever again.
