Dammit! Bring back the good old days when the only hard decision was whether the prisoner should be hanged or drawn and quartered. Or better yet the 'even older days' when a good stoning was a community participation event. After all it's a Holiday Weekend and I should think Sheriff Joe Arpaio could get a small historical reenactment accomplished in this case. Or maybe a parade followed by a 'Burning at the Stake' in Town Center. I want blood, Dammit....

The only reason I can think that the jury did that was because they didn't want the judge to even have the opportunity to send them back for more deliberations. They wanted to make it perfectly clear that they were done, done, done.

I kind of hope that Juan and the Alexander family settle for LWOP. I don't want Jodi getting another opportunity to put herself in the public eye. I'd rather she just disappear at this point.

Do I sense some sarcasm in this post?

Just heard the foreman interview clip again.

He said that he believed that Arias had been "verbally and mentally" abused. I misheard him to say "physically" abused previously.

Surprises me no less that he believes her to be an abuse victim/survivor, but corrected for accuracy.

I didn't really pay a lot of attention, but wasn't there something about Travis calling her nasty names? She probably deserved it, the crazy psycho bitch. Ms Einstein!

(05-24-2013, 07:58 PM)HairOfTheDog Wrote: If I understand correctly, based on the guilty verdict rendered, Arias will be in max security prison with essentially the same restrictions as a death row inmate. That is the worst punishment for someone like her, imo. So, LWOP seems befitting to me too.

Will be interesting to see if Martinez and the Alexanders choose to take death off the table for LWOP and waiver of all appeals. I just don't think Arias would accept it.

I don't like that (and one of the TH's on HLN suggested that jurors should have 3 options; something he called life row...where she'd spend her entire life in death row circumstances). But, I don't know if that's an option. I just don't want her to be able to get in front of the public ever again.

However, if it turned out she did in fact get LWOP, she seems delusional
enough (I'd hate to believe) that she would eventually be able to live in her own make believe world and be content.

That's a good point, Cars.

If a jury of her peers (or a judge, if a second jury hangs) can't see fit to put Arias on death row, she might adjust and become content or she might be miserable in her own skin/head.

Either way, she won't be free or a danger to society. And, she won't be able to manipulate or derive pleasure from other inmates for at least three years. If that's where this ends up, it's gotta be good enough.

P.s. good to see you.

Hey, are you numbering your posts to honor Duchess's holiday post-count request?

Dang it. I was so glad to chat with you here. Now, I'm suspicious that you were just using me to accomplish your goals for another woman. Feel so used!! (Ah well, I'll take it anyway.)

Hope your Memorial Day shindig is a great one, Cars.



Juror Interviews
-HLN is advertising interviews with Arias jurors.
-To be aired tomorrow, 5/28, during Jane Velez-Mitchell, Nancy Grace, and Dr. Drew.
-No details as to how many yet.
Really interested in hearing the breakdown of male votes to female votes and what they considered mitigating factors.

I feel the same and honestly don't understand the complete shock by so many.

The jury foreman stated that Arias wasn't a Dahmer or a Manson. WTF does that have to do with HER actions?

Additionally, he stated that they knew if they didn't reach a unanimous verdict, the judge would sentence her to life.

So . . . instead of them going on record and AT THE LEAST unanimously agree on the same sentence, they took the cowardly way out and left it up to the judge. "Let someone else be responsible for her destiny . . . we're done!"


Spare me the "personal convictions" bullshit that prevented four of the members from deciding on death.


They took an oath without the caveat of serial killer or cult leader to adminster the ultimate sentence.

Cowards!
