Very interesting observations. I'm sure Jodi knew that some of the jurors were taking digs. But I'll bet Nurmi prepared her for this beforehand, telling her she'd BETTER not get smart with them, or she can forget about beating the death penalty.
Also fascinating is your comparison of Jodi to Casey Anthony. Here's how I see their similarities:
-- Both are bright and have a creative flair (photography & writing)
-- Neither graduated from high school
-- Both were frustrated with their low status in life
-- Both are vain media
-- Both are grandiose liars, rivaled only by each other
-- Both use sex as a stepladder for improving their lot in life
-- Both were man-obsessed, needing them as if they were oxygen
But there are big distinctions in their characters, too:
-- Casey let her mother dictate her life until she just snapped -- first fabricating a job, college courses, etc,. and eventually harming her own child for freedom.
-- But Jodi would succumb to no such dictator. She ran away from the comforts of home to live in worse conditions, just to call her own shots.
-- Casey seemed to have normal social skills, could interact in a crowd, and sought attention based on having a fun, party-girl personality.
-- But Jodi seems to struggle in a crowd. All of Travis' friends view her a dead-eyed zombie with nothing to say. Her sexy body language was her best "conversation." Very insecure and introverted.
In the end, I think Casey is unlikely to be a repeat offender. But Jodi? She'd kill again in a heartbeat. In fact, I suspect that's why she bought herself a new gun.
Sounds about right but i see casey as also being a repeat offender..just a matter of time..unfortunately.
