Is anybody here as fascinated with the Jodi Arias trial as I am? I’m looking for a kindred soul to gossip about this.
That Trevor fellow was a total piece of work. Not that he deserved having his head cut off.

I promise I’m not asking for taxpayer money to fund my discussion of the case on this blog. 🙂

“Trevor fellow was a total piece of work”
You mean Travis?
Anyhoo, I was vaguely aware of this but hadn’t ever looked to closely and just had a quick look at the wikipedia page…
First impressions (along with what I’ve seen/noticed earlier).
The guy was no prize, for sure. But Arias seems crazier than a Tasmanian Devil on crystal meth and LSD at the same time….. (or is she????)
“He sustained multiple stab wounds, a slit throat, and a gunshot to the head. Jodi Arias … testified that she killed Alexander in self-defense.”
Damn girl! I’ve heard of double tap but that’s like dropping two A-bombs on Topeka. You stab a guy 27 or 28 times and cut his throat …. he’s dead, no need to shoot him in the head (for future reference, it’s quicker and ultimately cleaner to go for the head shot first).
It also makes me think: narcissistic rage (which took a whole lot of stabbing before it calmed down some).
The short bits of film I’ve been able to watch of her is almost …. triggering for me (for lack of a better word). She reminds me very strongly of several sociopaths I’ve had the trauma to have known.
I can go overboard in my fascination with unsolved murder cases but this seems pretty open and shut. She did it and kept lying and whenever confronted with a lie changed the story shopping up for something that would make her look good.
Is there any evidence that there’s more going on here?

“I don’t believe in craziness that comes and goes on demand. She was fully functional before and after the murder”
To be clear, I think that some people can, and do, function perfectly well in a variety of contexts on a daily basis and still have crazy volcanoes going off in their head.
And I don’t think that’s any kind of defense (I have a very low opinion of almost any kind of diminished capacity defense)
