I don't think she deserves the death penalty. Even before she started testifying I've thought this. Travis was a willing participant in this twisted relationship and kind of egged her on in a way. If he didn't string her along, this wouldn't have happened. He supposedly believed she stalked him to point of slashing his car tires, and yet he still would flirt text her, phone sex her, and real sex her. Her actions screamed "stay away, hazardous conditions" but he wouldn't heed the obvious. He didn't deserve death for that, but I don't think she does either.
It's obvious her testimony of abuse is solely to save her life. Her "he attacked me" claim is bs and they know it. It was obviously premeditated. There are multiple lines of evidence to support premeditation. There is no doubt about it. They know they have shown no evidence to support an attack by Travis. The evidence in fact contradicts it. All they have is her completely non-credible word. And if Travis attacked her, tried to kill her, then it doesn't matter if she was abused or not. Yet the testimony isn't meant to prove he attacked her. It's meant to explain excuse the heinous overkill of the murder. Even if she attacked, while she would have the right to defend herself, she wouldn't have the right to stab/throatcut/headshot. I agree she doesn't deserve death but not for the reasons they're trying to give here.
