Ok, this will seem odd now, I was holding out re-watching the sentencing link in the other thread a few pages back... but I watched it and damn! She is way more hostile than I remember her. That explains the mugshot a little better which I believe was moments later...
It’s not exactly like how I saw it in 2015 anyway... I was shocked before but little differently this time (especially when she deliberately/viciously brought up the ‘clearing of the fog.’ And she moved like a lunatic caged in her own body (she wants to hit, throw, or scream/rant at everyone). Yes, borderlines incessantly lie, but she can’t hide all that rabidity, the psychopathy definitely got triggered after Samantha made her passionate plea to the judge. JA really can’t stand moral, opinionated, and emotionally adept women…
It’s really strange to see her attempt to mask that vitriolic hate with such composed verbalization and bodily reaction out of concern for ‘her reputation.’ It's not like her supporters were going to change their minds at this point. She’s either a seeker of ‘justice’ for women (and men) who satiate their appetite for vengeance/malcontent against (any) of mankind who remotely represents a jovial/well-socialized being (preemptive strike due to poor social conditioning at a time they may or may not have actually been outcast by ‘the jocks’ or ‘the cheerleaders’ ‘whom received all the attention-complex’ - probably distorted initially anyhow by heavy parental neglect) or she’s a “poor little girl who deserves love” – mainly half-heartedly conveyed by various ‘fuddy-duddy’ elder men.
And JSS starting blinking 20 seconds into JA’s “statement.” Prior to this, she barely bat an eye during anyone else’s statements. She really can’t stand JA. I am inclined to believe the rumor she was pis*ed JA didn’t get death penalty, then again, I don’t want to claim she’s not objective/professional (she is, though I personally felt she was ‘soft’ at certain points, yet I suppose impartiality was largely at part due to the media).
I thought it was creepy how just before JA came to the stand, Sandy Arias claims ‘she will pray for the judge’s soul.’ I sincerely got the feeling here she was implicitly sending a foul message to the judge, it should bear on her conscience to vote w/out parole after “it being hard to listen to what people have said for seven years about my Jodi, I know she has a beautiful soul.” Give me a break, you heard that stuff way sooner (you said some of it yourself)! She does also liken Travis to an abuser whom tried to “diminish her daughter’s pride.” Lady, I think it’s safe to say, that at this point, your daughter could probably stand to ooze far less of this, “pride” (you too, for that matter)!
And as soon as JA has been sentenced, Nurmi requests withdrawal from ‘any future hearings,’ rats her out to the entire courtroom as ‘uncommunicative.’ Wow. Ha, I did get a kick out of that… Her shoulders seemed to drop, “great, now everybody knows that 9 out of 10 days comment wasn’t just a joke!”
