I'm reading all these posts regarding whether JA will be convicted of premeditation and arguments concerning the sequence of events and how that will or may play into the jury's decision to convict on premeditation - well, I'd just like to point out that the most damning thing related to premeditation is Travis Victor Alexander's post-mortem body. It's so obvious that the amount of force she used was uncalled for and she could have gotten away unharmed, if indeed she was in fear for her life from his "threat".
First of all, she was fully dressed, he was naked and dripping wet from the shower. She could have run out the door and raced out of the house - I doubt he would have followed her naked, dripping wet, out of the house, let's face it, this is the most logical thing to do.
Travis' body is proof of overkill. I don't think JA and her defense team have proven or will prove that her overly aggressive, violent actions, her butchering of Travis - the defensive wounds on his hands, the stab to the heart, the gunshot to head, the stabbing wounds close together on his upper back - STABBING IN THE BACK!- for heaven's sake, there was no reason to kill him unless she planned it before hand. I just don't think the jury will ignore the enormous injustice Travis was subjected to at the hands of Jodi Arias - because in fact, it's all about the victim. Put his bludgeoned body next to all the other facts - the stolen gun, the rented car, the cell phone calls, the lies, hiding the car, the license plate, the trip to Utah, the voice mail left on TA's phone, and the camera in the washing machine....etc. PREMEDITATED.
