Love to all the WS community. MOre food for thought:
Oh my gosh. A hung jury for the penalty phase of the Jodi Arias trial. This jury could not reach a unanimous decision of death versus life.
My heart is literally breaking and shattering for the Alexander family and for Juan Martinez.
So many people (like me) are feeling that justice has failed again. There are no words of comfort that lessen or lighten the pain that so many people are experiencing right now.
For the Alexander family, this was devastating.
Once again, they have to live through the horror and wait again for the next phase that is scheduled to begin in July. They have nothing, absolutely nothing to comfort them, give them closure, and no sense of justice after the brutal slaughter of their beloved brother Travis.
Jodi Arias’s family was notably absent for this verdict and did not present themselves for this huge verdict. As reported by Arizona media, Jodi’s mom is upset!
Really? Your daughter is facing death and you can’t drag your sorry
to court knowing that every single social media outlet is announcing extra security, gather the masses, attorneys, etc….. And she is upset?
What the **** was she doing?
It was tweeted multiple times that Jodi’s family was visiting the Grand Canyon today. Well, God bless them for taking a personal time out to travel and see the sights rather than stick close to the court house knowing that the jury was hours/minutes away from announcing a verdict.
Ms. Arias threw her arm and hand out toward her family when making her allocution presentation and noted she wanted life due to her family. Yet today, when **** was about to hit the fan, her “family” was too involved and busy to be at her side. Once again, this dysfunctional cartoon of a family cannot and will not accept reality and mocks the victim’s family, the court, the attorneys, and just like Jodi, blames everyone else for what doesn’t go their way.
Momma Arias et al are not to be petted and soothed because they made a deliberate choice to be away from the court when they fully knew a verdict could come at any minute.
Despite the outcome, Jodi is still a convicted murderer. She was found guilty of a heinous crime. She is not walking. She is not a free woman. We have to remember that Jodi was found guilty of murder in the first degree. She was found guilty of cruelty. She brutally slaughtered a young man by stabbing him 29 times, slicing (sawing) his throat and finished the act by a gunshot wound to the head. She dragged his body to the shower, covered up what she could, then took off for the desert in a fog and landed in the arms of another male as though nothing happened.
She lied not once, not twice, not three times….but repeatedly and continues to this day to lie and use anyone as a pawn to draw attention to herself and blame anyone (including her family) for what she did.
It’s very difficult for me and others to embrace the jury’s decision and applaud them for a job well done. I cannot for one moment find a reason to hate or despise what this jury delivered, but I don’t have to like it at all.
We will at some point know what these jurors were feeling, and why they felt the need for security for their decision, and why they needed to shut this down at this point. It’s difficult to understand why this jury who were sworn as being able to deliver a death penalty now delivered a hung verdict. That’s the worst and most difficult part to understand.
We may never know why someone or a group could not offer a death penalty. Someone obviously was holding out and felt a mitigating factor was worth consideration. What mitigating factor Jodi has is a total mystery to me even with her age, no prior history and lack of family support. There are thousands of people with worse circumstances but yet Ms. Arias rises to the top like she’s the cream.
For all of Wilmott and Nurmi’s pleas to be removed from the case, for all the shady maneuvers, they all seem pretty smug right now.
Kama’s a ***** I tell you.
This ain’t over by a long shot.
It’s just delayed.
Wilmott and Nurmi have nothing to be joyous about. They still represent a woman whom they’ve tried to ditch and distance themselves from.
Alyce has nothing to be happy about tonight. Nor does Donovan, Nor does Ms. Arias. Jodi is STILL guilty. She murdered and slaughtered a man three times.
Let us not forget this for one nano second. Let us not forget all the autopsy photos. Let us not forget that Jodi put a man in a grave and that she continues to mock everyone and the justice system because she feels she is superior, more intelligent, more worthy, and more insightful and devious than the rest of us.
Time to walk away and not give this woman one more minute of thought. Time to let her go back to her cell and devise more manipulation and deceit. It’s time for us to move on, live our lives, love and enjoy our freedom, love and hug our families, go on with life and live it to the fullest. We should not stop, drop and roll for this troll. We should not give her or her defense team one second of joy.
We should focus on life, healing, and pray for closure for the Alexander siblings. We should focus on Juan’s ability to pursue this case to the end and let our own biases fade away.
There is a bigger solution and end to this and it’s not up to us because we aren’t the judge or jury to make the decision. Let’s hold hands, and move on with our lives because what Jodi does not have is freedom. Remember, we have freedom. Despite a hung jury, Jodi does NOT have freedom and never will.
Irregardless of what happened this evening, let us take comfort that Jodi is not a free woman. This is not over. She is not walking amongst us. Let us focus on the Alexanders, not the jury and certainly not Jodi or her family.
