Fate of Jodi Arias - Page 1

Any time now! She's going to speak. Anyone care to guess?

No.......LOL

I think she is going to bore the jurists to death!  It is all about Jodi! ..ongoing... Still!

!!!! She wants to live....!!!!  Surprised?
 

I'm afraid there will probably be at least one person on the jury who won't be able to bring themselves to sentence her to death; hopefully, the rest of the jury won't hold out and force the whole thing to be played out again.  Personally speaking, I'd have absolutely no problem pushing the plunger, but if I were on that jury and there was one juror against it, I'd try to persuade the rest to agree to a life sentence rather than having to come back unable to agree on a sentence.

And that crap about 'she's an amazing artist';  'she's an extremely talented poet'; 'she's an excellent writer'....no, she's none of those things.  She's very good at tracing things and then shading them accordingly, she's adult/community-school art class level good at free-hand art, and from her journal writings, she's a high-school Composition-grade writer.  Where she DID excel, however, is in quite thoroughly killing the man she was having a trashy, tawdry relationship with after he made it clear that his only sustained interest in her was as a concubine.  She has nothing to offer society.

Hexe, I agree with you, I think she needs to vacate her space on earth also. But, what a person has to "offer society" should not be a determining factor in any human's right to live or to be eliminated.

joanro, I agree with YOU--I only mentioned a contribution to society because that seemed to be one of the very few things she and her defense attorney kept throwing out there as the reason she SHOULDN'T get the death penalty.  If I heard Wilmott say "she's always tried to better herself" one more time, I feared my head was going to explode... As far as I'm concerned, Jodi Arias could transform into the Mother F'in Teresa of the incarcerated overnight, and it STILL wouldn't atone for what she did to that man, and by extension, that man's family.

Edited to add:  I'm not one who is an advocate of the death penalty on a broad scale, because there IS far too much evidence manipulation and manufacturing that occurs still for me to be comfortable with it being used as a blanket punishment for murder, rape, and the like.  But in a case like this, where there is absolutely NO doubt that the correct person is being held accountable for the murder, and there's no reasonable mitigating circumstances--such as any evidence of her having been attacked by the man that led her to use deadly force [she had, what? a single cut on her hand? WTF?]--I do believe the only fitting penalty is death.

Hexe, I agree with you one hundred percent.
I would add child molesters and rapists to never be excluded from death, with out delay. Look how many people (kids, especially) have been murdered after torturous treatment by Convicted, then released- back- into-society, pedophiles.
Kill them, they won't be able to commit their crimes again and maybe, the rest of the scum who contemplate such crimes will think twice when they know it will result in their last activity perpetrated against society.

The death penalty,
It never made anyone think twice, those kind of people don't think about it at all,  but it would eliminate the possibility of them doing it twice.
I'd throw the switch, hell yes in a heart beat, and feel great about it for a very long time.
