I don't think it would be because they like her but instead, some misplaced empathy or ignorance, like believing her borderline contributed to her being out of control or believing her victim spiel.I really pray that none of the jurors "Spare" her just because they "like" her. I don't know how anyone could like her because of what she did.. it was so brutal and thought out.
To me that does not matter. It is what it is. What is most important is that she won't be leaving jail. We have no control over any of it.

Rumors floating on twitter that there is a verdict are NOT TRUE. #jodiarias
:gaah:
Hello Again,
Husband is off to work, just spent a little time with my dad. He just bought me one of those vapor thingy's hopefully I can really quit smoking...It takes a while for the thing to charge. That's what is happening in my little world.
Hopefully today will be the day that we hear from the Jury. I would so like for that to happen.
Justice for Travis and the Alexanders~
While I completely disagree, I respect your opinion.![]()
I have been vaping for over 2 years now and basically quit smoking overnight. Hopefully he got you a good one though because if you start off with the wrong equiptment you can have a not so great first experience which I have seen send too many right back to analogs.
Of course she is. She is never getting out. Not ever. She is not going to be found innocent, She is not going to do anything but be a legend in her own mind for the rest of her life.
No. I noticed last night that Chris Hughes was very active on Twitter, posting tons of pictures of Travis. I guess the finger is on that button, waiting to release the book that the family does not support. JMO
She will be in prison and no different than any other convicted inmate. That autonomy will be torture for her.
What happens if the defense hires a psychological expert and they come to the same conclusion DeMarte came to? Can they squelch it or do they have to turn it over to the prosecution?
I guess my mind thinks differently cause I feel like someone who just murdered a man with a gun and a knife...now having another gun (not registered to her legally, which doesnt matter to me) and more knives in her care at the time she was arrested sure tells me that she was up to something AGAIN. JMO
It tells me there is, at the least, no PTSD and no remorse for those 'few minutes out of her life'. I think the jury would have taken notice of that info.
If she gets the DP she gets that auto appeal but if she gets life she won't. She is done. She will have to earn an appeal and there will not be one. JSS has bent over backwards to make sure she went through this with all her rights intact.
I'm flying on Thursday, maybe we'll meet in the air.![]()
Back at ya!
I just can not get drawn into the what will Jodi's life be thing. It is so out of all of our hands. I have actually let it all go. I think that DP will be more restrictive for her, but in the end she won't likely ever be put to death.
I don't think anything will make the Alexanders feel better even if they think it will. I think that there is no peace for them at all in this process. The best can be that she goes away and no one hears from her again.
The crime cries out for the death penalty. That is obvious to us and I believe to the jury as well. The question now is are there mitigators? That is what the jurors are deciding. If there are none, or if there are some but they do not outweigh the aggravator (cruelty) it has to be a death sentence.
I did not see any mitigators proven. KN listing some on a sheet of paper does not make them fact but he is hoping the jurors read the list and assume some to be fact (otherwise they wouldn't be on the list).
It's all coming down to if the jurors believe any mitigators exist and if so, how strong are those?
She will be in prison and no different than any other convicted inmate. That autonomy will be torture for her.
