The picture of a young Travis Alexander in his Father's arms (wearing spiderman underwear) breaks my heart!
The video of Arias' describing the dog - Arias' dramatic "that I can remember ... OOHH (grabs head) I kicked a dog once."
I"m not sure if in that brief "OOHH" moment, Arias is recalling butchering Travis Alexander. She was probably "seeing" Travis Alexander's dog - then she says, "I kicked a dog once - I was in high school," then gives strange details about the story (including explaining how diapers are when they are wet).
I wish that we could see more of the video - more of Arias' expression when Flores says, "you need to apologize to Travis Alexander."
I also think that Arias thought by telling Flores that she kicked a dog, the dog ran away, this experience changed her world forever, she needs to apologize to the dog - that Flores would say, "Oh Gosh My Golly, Jodi, You could have never butchered Travis Alexander. How could you when you have carried such a burden around for years - longing to find Doggy Boy so that you could apologize to him for barely kicking him - You have such guilt over causing no harm to a dog, Doggy Boy didn't even yelp - or anything! - A person that reacts this way to "Doggy Boy" could not harm a human being - Duh, Jodi, I'm just getting it!"
What I do not really understand - is the defense is saying that Arias wanted to avoid the trauma of murdering Travis Alexander. Yet, Arias says herself that she washed blood off of her hands. Arias has to be a cold calculating murderer to wash blood off of her hands, and, resume life fully - not only did Arias resume life but she reached out to detectives to help with their homicide investigation. Arias wrote/sent an 18 page letter to Travis Alexander's family. Arias sent the Iris Flower Arrangement to Travis Alexander's grandmother.
Arias wrote in her journal that Travis liked the name Iris for a girl, and, "I'll take Iris, thank you very much."
This cryptic statement about the children Arias took away from Travis Alexander having - then choosing to send Irises - after she writes, "I'll take Iris, thank you very much."
It is as though Arias is saying, "Look, I took away all of Travis Alexander's hopes, dreams, love - I took away his future children - "thank you very much!"
I wish there was something about Arias that made her human - there is nothing there - for me, it is what makes Arias so frightening.

They're really good examples to use because that's what can happen when a psychopath is potentially faced with exposure.
