It is of some reassurance to me that she will never be free. While I don't necessarily want to see anyone put to death, I do want it to resonate with her that a jury has decided her crime deserves the harshest penalty possible under law. What she did to another human being, a person with whom she had an intimate relationship was savage. It is important to me that this message is delivered to her. I'd like to know that there is some crack in her veneer where she has to relive the horror of what she did to a good, decent man.
She has not shown any sign of remorse or horror for what she did in slaughtering Travis. Her courtroom demeanor was pathetic, especially when she first took the stand and admitted that she killed Travis, but had to out of self defense. She was ambiguous in her answer and her tone was somewhere between apathy and disdain, which revolted me.
Maybe once this trial is over and she no longer has it as a distraction, the reality of what she did will sink in and time alone in her prison cell will bring with it haunting memories. She deserves nothing less.
And yes, CMJA, one act can define who a person is. The murder of Travis Alexander has branded you as a vicious murderer who shows no remorse or compassion for others. In fact, you seem to revel in continuing to cause others pain, namely the family and friends of Travis. You have no redeeming qualities and nothing that I would consider as a mitigating factor when it comes to meting out your punishment.
