Simple answer. Because she is vicious.
And many female murderers are. Many of them go for overkills.
Loving the torture and visciousness.

I'm sorry you're still feeling puzzled. I'm not.
Premeditation takes it out of the realm of crime of passion . I believe a crime of passion has to take place as the result of a sudden impulse or rage.
All that planning she did was cold and calculated.
I think she wanted to make sure he knew that rejecting her was the biggest mistake he would ever make.
Caught that too.... Chalked it up as just one more of her near infinite nonsensical details.
It's my hope that these issues will to be further addressed when he has other witnesses' lined up for the rebuttal. Along with some keen emphasis on:
-- if she remembers nothing after the gunshot (which she didnt think actually hit him) why would she begin covering up the crime when came out of her fog? According to her, she couldnt have know he was even injured, let alone dead...
-- the witness tampering issue
-- way more on the pre-meditation, its so key to get that across and I'd agree its not there yet
I know. Her height seems to be a bit of a moving target. Wouldn't her height be listed when she was booked in jail???
My favorite comic relief moment when Juan said,
"It's YOUR FOG!"
I think it was made abundantly clear when he made the blog post about Gold Diggers and axe murderers. That's what put her over the edge, imo.I agree - but I think Cancun was more significant than just 'going to Cancun'. Somehow, imv, it was a turning point - an end point after which she knew she would no longer be a part of Travis' life on any level... I don't know how, but I believe that somehow this was made abundantly clear.

If so, why didn't she shoot him when she walked in?
I don't believe that he knew she was going to show up. She probably called him to check that he was home but I don't think "guilted" her to "swing on by". I think she most likely let herself in unannounced while he was already sleeping and that she was the one on his computer, not him. It sounds like she was trying to load something incriminating onto his computer. It's more likely that HE surprised her and she made up some bullchite story as to why she was there and they ended up "making up" and going to sleep. Her initial plan was probably to kill him in the early hours of June 4th and something happened that made her change to plan b. I think that something is that TA was awake and heard her downstairs in the office.

Since the trial began, I also have changed my mind regarding Cancun. Yes I do believe she wanted to go on that trip, however, the timing of her actual trip to AZ was six days before he was to leave. So with that in mind, I am of the same opinion you are, that the catalyst to send her there on her murder mission was him not visiting her in California, and most likely telling her IT WAS OVER. She stole the gun from her grandparents and set her plan into motion.I dont think Cancun was the catalist.
At the end of May and around the time she stoled the gun Travis told her he would not be able to come to see her afterall. Iirc it was the second time he had stalled and postponed it. She knew he was rejecting her and trying to distance himself from her for good.
I do not believe anything that JA says including that he knew and asked her to come.
By then he was writing about gold diggers and a possibility of marrying an axe murderer. He was referring to Jodi IMO.

I thought she expressed a morbid curosity when she kept asking the detective to see the crime scene pictures when she was being interviewed. Today I realized the reason she was hiding her face when the pictures of Travis were displayed was because she didn't want the cameras to capture her abnormal reaction to them. I think she liked looking at her handy work. She has no emotion and no conscience at all and has a very unusual mind. I can't see how she can even be of any value to anyone in prison. She would be a good mate for Scot Peterson.
Did you read that? It is from 2010 and it is the reply to the Defense's filing.
Does anyone have this smile behind the hands cued on video?
As I understand it, they cannot use the video in any aspect of the trial, even the attorneys can't bring video into the court to show, I think that was part of the stipulation of allowing the cameras. I could be wrong though.
