Because he still needed the RIO to drive to work, around, etc.
Thank you Mind your biscuits.
I thought the same thing Spartygirl that JS girlfriend was under the impression even by his behavior that he was interested in someone else; which he was. Woman's intuition is a valuable tool if recognized. The girlfriend is probably grateful she escaped unharmed.
I’m still not convinced this other car has anything to do with the situation, but say it does. If there was dna evidence in there that would indicate a probable murder—like a huge amount of blood—that would be reason to torch it. The Kia might have just had evidence that LS was in it—enough to hold up to kidnapping charges but nothing else.
Fair enough, but that means JS knew in advance he would be spilling blood all over the car, and that would be the reason he used that car instead of his. Why would he want to do that?
Because he’s a sociopath who needed his car for work? Being flip, but I think that could be possible. If you’re sick enough to abduct and probably kill an innocent stranger, you’re probably not going to worry about ruining someone else’s property if you need to.
You may very well be right, but imo, I don't believe he planned this out enough to worry about leaving evidence to a murder in a vehicle before hand, if that in fact happened.
Thank you again. We're always learning.Hi Rocky!!
Thank you again. I love having further knowledge on any subject matter even at my old age. I've always been one who thirsts for knowledge.
It shows it's used sparingly as it should be.
I do believe juries do feel it is warranted in the worst of the worse cases,and that is why juries continue to give the DP.
In the Arias case I felt uneasy from the beginning when they allowed an older male juror in his 60s to be on her case.
If anyone deserved death applied in AZ, Arias certainly did. It irks me even now how the one older male juror was the only lone holdout. If not for him it would have been totally unanimous, and she would be on DR today where she belongs.
Sadly, we still have double standards that show up in our judicial system from time to time when the defendant is a female who do the exact heinous type murders as committed by male defendants.
Having the DP option is one of the best tools for DAs because while the vile murderers don't care at all about all of the innocent lives they brutally take, but many do care about their own pathetic lives. When they know they may get death themselve then it's an entirely different story. It has resulted in many wanting to plead G if the DAs take the DP off the table saving valuable time,and millions of taxpayer's money.
The states who does not have it have far less options, imo.
I just saw a recent poll, and around 70 percent of the country believes it should still be an option. The poll may reflect how much extreme violence we are seeing now all across our nation including cold blooded murders.
I think more than any other time the majority of citizens are now zoned in on the importance of our criminal justice system, and know the rule of law must be restored, and very harsh punishments should be given if, and when convicted.

Fascinating!I appreciate the posts about RAD. I didn't have the courage to bring it up, but my husband has RAD so I have experience with it. Yes, Reactive Attachment Disorder is a diagnosis, although a new term for it is Developmental Trauma Disorder (DTD). Although any doctor familiar with RAD can diagnose it based on symptoms, it can be seen as incomplete brain development, or holes, on an MRI scan.
Left: Normal 3 yr old. Right: 3 yr old with ADD
An neurological scan will show abnormal brain function.
Left: Healthy Right: Traumatized childhood (Romanian orphan)
The front (top in picture) part of the brain is where most of the normal thinking processes occur. The normal brain on the left is properly most active (Red areas) in the front part. The traumatized brain on the right has little (blue) to no (black) activity in much of the front area. The only significantly active area is the back part.
So this is very partial, simplified description of proper brain development... An infant has a need. Infant cries. Infant's stress hormone (cortisol) levels rise. Caregiver takes care of need. Infant relaxes and cortisol levels return to normal. Repeat cycle. This continual rise and fall of cortisol levels prompts the brain to develop in the proper order. First the back, primitive part develops, which includes the Fight, Flight, or Freeze response. Next, the middle and then the front parts develop. These areas control personality, behavior, emotions (and control of them), empathy, conscience, reasoning, trust, and ability to form relationships, to name a few.
When the caregiver doesn't take care of the infant's need, the baby's cortisol level stays high. Without the needed cycle of rising and falling cortisol to trigger advancement through the development phases, the infant's brain gets stuck in the back part. The front part isn't damaged, but it doesn't develop. The child grows up having only the Fight, Flight, or Freeze method to deal with any stress, no matter how small. Mentally, their brain progresses from "I can't trust anyone to meet my needs. I'll have to take care of myself" to "I will (literally) die if I let anyone get close to me." Children with RAD become adults with personality disorders, alcoholism, substance abuse, and addictions to gambling and *advertiser censored*. *advertiser censored* in particular is a problem because the RAD adult finds in much too frightening to form a real relationship with anyone, and turns to a fantasy world that doesn't involve personal connections. This post is long enough, but I want to post again with thoughts about the obstacles involved with "trying" to get treatment for RAD.
Speaking of Jodi Arias, as soon as I saw JS’s mugshot, I immediately thought that he looked dead in his eyes, just like JA’ mugshot! MOO.
Not necessarily blood. Body fluids quickly come into play as deterioration occurs. Also, cadaver dogs can pick up scent left by a deceased person quite readily. I think the scent markers begin to occur quickly after death so anyone who is foolish enough to transport a deceased person inside their vehicle is just asking to be arrested if a dog is brought in to sniff their vehicle. IMO
Respectfully Snipped.
Oh sorry JDough, I don't have a link. I was just adding my opinion to what was posted earlier.
