As difficult as it is to say this, I trusted this jury to do the right thing. They're human. They have feelings. They react to what they see and hear. If some on the jury believed that Travis was mentally and verbally abusive to Jodi, it is their opinion and must be respected. I'm not going to criticize or fault this jury because they did what they were supposed to do. They were conscientious, diligent, intelligent, and extremely patient. They followed the Judge's instructions when rendering the three verdicts.
We were all very pleased with the jury's first two verdicts because that is what we wanted. Third verdict, not so much because most here wanted Jodi to be sentenced to death. Eight members of the jury agreed, but four of them didn't. It was their decision, and I respect them for doing what they believed best given all of the evidence and testimony that they saw and heard. Some will learn more about Jodi in the coming weeks if they choose to watch or listen to media coverage and total rehash of the case. They might feel differently when they have all of the facts, but their final verdict has been rendered, and this chapter of the Jodi Arias saga has concluded. :moo:
Well said as always, Bette.
