Now that we have had a couple of days to process 4 months of watching the devil's disciple up close and personal in the courtroom; listening to a amoral, unethical Defense team perform a non-stop character assassination on the tragic victim while glossing over the depravity of the murder itself; and finally, the brilliant unraveling of the sex, lies, and dirty little secrets by the Prosecutor extraordinaire.....there is no doubt in my mind that this jury will fire back with a resounding GUILTY, premeditated Murder One!
That said, I cannot forgive the smarmy DT for trying to portray this evil, psychopathic killer as a battered woman with PTSD! Jodi Arias is on a par with Aileen Wournos, Ted Bundy, and Lizzie Borden! She was just getting warmed up with Travis! Think about the super-human strength it took for her to ferociously 'gut' Travis ..in less than 3 minutes! Imagine the frenzy she was in! And those 'lawyers' tried to tell us this was all about a raging, wet, naked man in a shower who was going to kill her over a dropped camera??? REALLY???
Hang your heads in shame - Nurmi, Willmott, LaViolette, and Samuels!!! You all brought yourselves down to the level of the throat-slashing killer you so sanctimoniously defended. You all have one thing in common: No Conscience!
Now that it's only a matter of a day or two until we watch the jury march in to give JA her just desserts, the 'fog' is lifting in my brain. I am convinced JA had no intentions of shooting Travis. The gun was used to overpower him in the shower, nothing more. Once she had control, she ritualistically slaughtered him according to the archaic Mormon ritual - Blood Atonement. It didn't turn out as she expected - got a little messy for her. (We have to cut her some slack, however, this was her first human sacrifice.) We know from testimomy that JA was interested in the occult, vampires, wikum, etc. beginning around the age of 17. Her mother said she read voraciously and her book collection was extensive and out of the grasp of mere humans. I would love to see a list of her literary picks!
Fast forwarding to June 4, I believe the murder had more to do with losing her place in line in the Mormon community. JA had immersed herself in the Mormon religion/community and the prospect of mining for gold, it became her obsession. She didn't 'love' Travis, he was her ticket to $$$ and success. She would ride on his coattails. If it didn't work out with Travis, there were plenty more where he came from! She would never have to go back to Yreka or mix another cocktail - ever.
Unfortunately, Travis had something on Jodi. Whatever it was would discredit her in the Mormon community and PPL ruining her chances of living the good life. If she could get away with killing Travis, she could return to Mesa or SLC and start all over again. This is why atty. Willmott stated in her OS that Jodi Arias was FORCED to kill Travis Alexander. The truth of the matter is: JA sacrificed Travis Alexander's life based on her interpretation of the archaic Mormon Blood Atonement ritual. She was judge, jury and executioner. Now it's the jury's turn to return the favor.
