There's always room for concern but when I focus on this case, this evidence, this defendant, and everything unique here -- I remain as confident as can be. Right now we can't account for stealth jurors or jurors are going to go Pinellas or create his or her own standard for reasonable doubt.
Actually, I think the opposite might be true from the scenario you described above. I think when it comes to JA and the pathetic defense she's mounted with the extreme over the top blaming of Travis, which to me is so transparent and desperate, jurors are going to be put off and instead they are going to see her for what she is and be more prone to hold her responsible. She is NOT suffering from a mental illness, she is not suffering from traumatic life events, she is not the way she is for any reason other than her own evil derranged controlling personality and there is nothing or nobody to blame but herself.
I think this case, this defendant, and her entire team is the perfect example of what's wrong with our society and what our legal system has become. If someone commits a crime he or she can be guarenteed that they don't have to answer for their REAL actions but instead will have legal representation and experts paid to excuse away their actions. The defendant's search for justice is NOT a search for the truth but a search to get off from the charges. LOUD AND CLEAR: WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ACTIONS. THAT is the message we should take away from the defense tactics so often seen.
Okay I'm done with my rant. I strongly believe JA did herself in and this jury will absolutely hold her responsible for her premeditated actions-- and this defense will backfire landing her on death row.
