ITA with you, Linda.
Imo, Arias is not the typical murderer by a long shot. Some say women have made Arias into something she isn't and I take issue with that. Other women haven't made her into anything other than what she truly is. We haven't created anything when it comes to Arias. She and she alone has created all the facts from the moment she murdered Travis and right through this resentencing phase. She is what she is and its frightening to know psychopaths like Arias have actually walked among us leaving countless victims in their wake. Even the way she relishes in defaming Travis for years is not typical for a run of the mill murderer.

Thanks in advance to anyone that knows the answer.
Respectfully snipped to address the above.
I have seen the arguments on here, that Jodi hasn't killed anyone else and probably won't...we can't predict the future and can't punish her for something she may not do.
My husband and I were just talking about this and something occurred to me.
WHAT IF, Travis had lived. What if Jodi did all the planning, subterfuge and things had just worked out a little different. Suppose she lost the will once the blood started flowing, abbreviated her attack and left him for dead, but he somehow survived.
Once we got to court and heard from Travis about all the stalking, tire slashing, social media hijacking, etc., PLUS the "ATTEMPTED MURDER".....
Followed by Jodi and her "abuse"/self-defense/pedophilia accounts. What would a jury do?
Would they want Jodi to have the option of being released, to pick up her stalking obsessive behavior again, or would they want her behind bars FOREVER, to protect every young man out there?
I think, having seen the pattern throughout her life, they would have no choice, but to give Jodi LWOP.
Having said that, Travis didn't live.
Jodi Ann Arias deserves AT least more punishment, than she would have gotten, had her attempt on Alexander's life failed. MOO
