I found it interesting that the circumstantial evidence in this trial which pointed toward premeditation mirrored another big murder trial from a couple years ago--the trial of Marni Yang who murdered the pregnant girlfriend of former Bears football player Shaun Gayle:
1- a gun went mysteriously missing from Marni Yang's home.....the same type of gun used to kill the woman and her unborn child. (she was 7 months pregnant!)
This said gun later was revealed by her to have been tossed in a bucket of wet cement and tossed in a Chicago garbage bin (whereas Jodi tossed hers in the Hoover Dam)
2- Marni Yang wore a wig and sunglasses as a disguise. (Jodi dyed her hair)
3- Marni rented a car and had it delivered to a friends home. She used stolen license plates that she found somewhere and attached to the rental car.
4-Like Jodi, Marni rejected a bright blue car (Jodi a bright red one) from the rental agency.
Because we have the moratorium on the death sentence here in IL, Marni Yang received 2 life sentences for the expectant mother and child.....without possibility of parole.
In AZ, Jodi will certainly receive the DP.
Now that you mention it... yes! It is awfully similar in some ways.
