'Why did you put him in the shower after you killed him?' was one of the questions the 1st trial jurors asked JA. She began to answer (although she had no memory!), but Martinez quickly objected and the judge sustained. I so wished Martinez let her answer but he must have had a good reason and I trust his judgement.I beg to differ; way long ago the Mormon religion (fundamentalist sects) did have a death sentence for those accused of sexual misconduct, particularly adultery. There are cases that have been written about concerning the sentence--being slashed from ear to ear and the blood having to spill upon the ground. This was the only way the sinner/violator could gain access to righteousness before God. And that was what Jodi did; in her mind, she helped Travis into heaven. That was the reason for the throat slitting and hauling him all the way back into the shower after slitting his throat in the hallway--the blood had to go down the pipes and get to the earth. She is totally capable of this mentality and the means needed to achieve it. Today's Mormonism: not acceptable, but there are some records of blood atonement from the past.
I don't believe JA cared if Travis went to heaven or hell. I believe she put him in the shower because he was bleeding profusely and was worried about his blood seeping though floor to ceiling downstairs. What's a girl to do?
