I listened to Trish's True Crime Radio from last night with Shanna Hogan and Sky Hughes. New information that was of interest to me included:
-CMJA's dad does believe the self defense claim.
-Shanna did try to reach out to CMJA's family and friends, but came up with little. The Arias family did not respond to her outreach. She did speak to Bobby Juarez once. With all of the media coverage, the press did work to dig up information on her past, but family and boyfriends were not talking. No friends to speak of were found.
-Shanna has a source who has provided her with some info on CMJA while she has been in jail. Per this source, CMJA is still disconnected with reality of her situation and shows no understanding of the seriousness of her situation. She does not plan on showing any regret or remorse. These observations are pretty consistent with her tweets and outreach via her web page.
-She has not read the manifesto that CMJA wrote in jail. They did discuss the 22 page letter to Travis's grandmother. Skye described it as disgusting and demented where so much of it did not make sense. This is when she was telling the intruder story. There were parts of it that were very upsetting and appeared to be based in the truth when she described how Travis suffered when he was killed.
-There was also discussion about many texts, emails, etc. that were not presented in court which would have shown that Travis was trying to end his sexual relationship with her. There are exchanges with Travis begging her to move back to CA. Sky also said that you can see in his texts where he asks her not to come to his house. She also said that their were times in their relationship where they were having sex and times that they weren't. I had suspected this to be the case, so it was good to have this confirmed.
-There was also discussion about CMJA originally being the booked for the Cancun trip and her lying on the stand about this. Skye said that Travis had given PPL her name as the companion and called PPL to ask how to go about changing this. At the time that he made the change, airplane tickets had not yet been booked by PPL, so that PPL did not have records that would show this change.
BBM and she
never will show remorse, IMO. To do so would make everything she has spouted- all her lies, IMO, a lie spoken from her own mouth and she wouldn't do that. After all, she is a psychopath, in my eyes.
Websters dictionary defines remorse as a gnawing distress arising from a sense of guilt for past wrongs. Contrition, similarly, is defined as feeling or showing sorrow and remorse for a sin or shortcoming.
A psychopath is fully in touch with reality and plans murders carefully. These are the people who know exactly what they are doing and want to inflict as much damage as possible. With no remorse, they are free to do as they please. Being the narcissists that they are, these killers make everything about them. The entire killing is meant to highlight the wrong that has been done to them while at the same time punishing those responsible.
Once the deed is done, their only regret is that they could not torture their victims and make them suffer more. Remorse is foreign to them. They have none of it and would gladly kill again.People often ask why the murderers don't just kill themselves. Why do they have to take and destroy lives?
The reality is, if you wonder why they dont just kill themselves, then you really dont understand them. The whole point is to crush as many people as possible, to destroy them as the killer has been destroyed. The more victims, the more people left behind in misery. The plan is like a spider web of destruction. Little lines go out everywhere to hit their mark. The media becomes alarmed. The public is shocked. Family and friends are left behind. This is mission accomplished.
Anyway- evening everyone. :seeya:
I've been having a serious bout of allergies and pain from rhuematism (from the quick change in weather here :scared
Usually the joint pain doesn't really start until late October/early November. The meds I've been taking have made me very tired and listless- been sleeping a lot.
How has everyone been?
