It just occurred to me that maybe she WANTS to be given the DP. More chances of that appeal that in her mind is going to set her free altogether. And this trial can be dedicated solely to trashing Travis and hurting everyone on her most hated list.
her only motive to want the DP at this point is to continue appeal efforts at the expense of the people of AZ. Seriously doubt she or anyone in her camp believe she can raise enough $ to fund an appeal if she gets LWOP.
