During many of those years, she's listened to her defense attorneys, and many shrinks drill that shit into her head as a defense. Wouldnt be too surprising if she started to believe it herself.
I think that Jodi's always been in the driver's seat with her defense, Kid.
Once the "I wasn't there" lie was busted out, she switched to the "Ninja invaders did it" lie.
Once the Ninja lie was busted out, the "self defense" lie was born.
Knowing that there was absolutely nothing to support that allegation against Travis Alexander, she made up lies in attempt to substantiate it. The defense then scrounged for experts who either didn't care that she was lying or could be suckered into believing her. That's why the likes of Dick Samuels and Alyce LaViolette ended up on the stand in this very high profile trial.
I don't think Jodi ever believed her own lies and still don't. I think she was the puppeteer for her expert witnesses/shrinks, not vice versa. JMO.
Arias has nothing to lose by continuing her last set of lies because she doesn't care about their impacts on others. She, imo, likely believes that she'll win an appeal, so she'll stick with the pedo/abuser story all the way because it benefits HER. Not only when it comes to consistency for appeal's sake (in her mind), but she's suckered in a following of idiots who believe her and will buy her shirts and tell her how brave she is in the face of being crucified. Some cash, some people to manipulate, and still able to dig at the dead man. Jodi's rolling...
