No. What could she say? "Oh I'm so so sorry I planned and plotted this murder. I am beyond sorry I tormented, tortured and butchered Travis. I really really really loved him. When he spurned me, it made me crazy and I did something I truly truly truly regret. Sorry! All forgiven now?" Uhhh....NO. No amount of "honesty" on the killer's part would have made a bit of difference in my opinion of her. She's a dangerous, rabid animal and actually should be put down; but locked away in a concrete box for the rest of her unnatural life will do. Bad food and granny panties and all.
:jail:
Well...posters have claimed they have respect for murderer Angela Simpson because she totally owns up to her killing and admits she's a dangerous offender.
But if the same respect could never be afforded to JA *IF* she had essentially done the same thing, then all that's left to understand is Arias represents something personal to the person who isn't a family member, wasn't a friend of the victim, and needs to put Arias in a special category due to their own needs. Now of course JA didn't do what Angela Simpson did, she didn't own up to her own deeds and admit to being evil, but I think it's an interesting question brought up on Twitter or wherever it originated.
I remember many people posting the reason they hated Arias to the extent they did (beyond the killing itself) is because she dragged her victim's name through the mud and 'assassinated his character' in court. Had she not done that...would people hate her less? Interesting question.
The most interesting thing of all (for me) is that Juan Martinez has gone on record that he doesn't hate this murderer, just hated her actions/killing. Juan gets it. He gets it on a level that shows how brilliant and emotionally grounded he is. He doesn't waste his energy, but focuses it exactly where it needs to be, on obtaining justice through legal means and being a superlative advocate for the citizens of his county.
