I'm just getting off work and wow...someone make me a stiff drink please.
I knew the jury was going to hang but I did not expect this. I told myself I wouldn't be mad. I told myself that this jury worked hard (and they obviously did), so I wouldn't fault them but I am INFURIATED.
The fact that one lone juror held out for that freak of nature has me fuming. She goes into deliberations discussing that stupid lifetime movie? Are you freaking kidding me? What the hell does that have to do with anything? That makes her seem less than intelligent, to put it as nice as I possibly can. Then she tells the others that the death penalty was revenge? Why the HELL was she on this jury? Why did she think she was there? Stealth juror indeed.
She refused to deliberate and had an obvious agenda, so when the jurors bring this up to JSS, she refuses to replace her with an alternate. Of course JSS..of course. I wouldn't expect anything else from the ever so incompetent judge.
Only Jodi arias would have this kind of "luck". One seemingly unintelligent juror with an agenda when the rest think she deserved to die. We were so close, and that's what makes it so infuriating. She doesn't deserve life. She deserves to rot in small cage 23hrs a day with no privileges. No contact with general population.
I want to tell myself that in the end, she'll still never leave prison except for in a box, but the thing is... she'll adapt. She's a psychopath. Just look how she adapted in jail. Singing contests, making friends etc. I want her to dwell on the fact that every other juror wanted to give her death, but I'm sure in her screwed up mind, she doesn't see it that way. What an injustice. I hope she gets shanked in prison.
ETA - I do want to thank the other jurors for their service. Thanks to Juan Martinez for his hard work, and may God be with the Alexander family.
