What if Jodi is right? What if the truth is that she had to defend herself?
In response to the above, Arias' behavior has not shown a remorseful person. A person so "torn" up with grief living with the truth that they are capable of slashing another human being. Guilty for taking another human life.
Jodi Arias comes across as having enjoyed all of the attention - telling her stories. Even as she sits giving testimony - Arias seems satisfied.
Arias behavior on trial makes it seem as though Arias does not want sympathy - instead, Arias comes across as wanting to 'control' and 'manipulate' everyone in the courtroom including the jurors. Arias lack of remorse, and, understanding comes across when she states such things such as 'I have difficulty remembering / answering questions when men like JM are being hostile towards me.'
Arias implying that JM is abusing her similar to Travis is ridiculous. If Arias had remorse / understanding she would be aware that JM is doing his job - Arias would respect the court by answering the questions appropriately. During Arias videotaped interrogation she presents shaving, and, showering pictures as happening the same day that she murdered Travis Alexander. While being interrogated - it is reasonable to assume that the reason Arias is presenting the shaving, and, showing pictures happening the day that she murdered Travis is because at the time of her interrogation - Arias wasn't telling the truth - Arias was setting up the, "my family isn't safe, I'm not safe, it would be best for everyone if I took the rap, two intruders murdered Travis."
Arias is being interrogated - she states that she is going to tell the truth, and, that it is okay if Flores does not believe her. Arias mentions that she has seen the Sopranos ("throwing" out that Travis murder is mob related) - and then she tells Flores the story of how two people murdered Travis, and, attacked her. Arias tells Flores that Travis hates the picture of him in the shower, she doesn't know why, and that she likes the picture. We know that this picture was taken right before Arias murdered Travis - it is beyond horrible that Arias would indicate Travis' dislike of the picture taken before she started butchering him. Is it even possible that Travis saw this picture? Arias knew that she was lying - and she knew that she was giving Flores a story sprinkled with some truths (the shaving pictures).
During the trial, instead of recognizing her knowing deceit - Arias behaves coy attempting to prove her superiority in control and manipulation by answering JM in circles. Arias pretends to continues to 'try' to overcome the abuse she is receiving from JM and answer the questions -- Arias keeps stating that the shaving pictures happened on another day. Arias knows this is not the point - as the videotaped interrogation has been played showing her indicating to Flores that the shaving / shower pictures happened the same day that Travis was murdered by two Soprano like hit people and to protect her family it is best that she take the rap.
Arias' apparent delight with this attention - the ability to write Travis Alexander's family knowing that she was the murderer - the lack of remorse she shows for her actions that caused Travis Alexander's murder - are some of the many things about Arias that makes her truly frightening.
