If anything, DEATH is the real GIFT in the arias case. Once you are dead, your are dead, period; nothing to argue about it. The only certain thing is life is DEATH,nothing else. <br /><br />So, by pushing the "fast bottom" and accelerate the departure of Arias from this life is not a punishment but a GIFT.<br /><br />Punishement for this convicted murderer will be to spend her life behainf bars, in solitary confinement. Being raped by corrections officers (eventually, it will happen to her, if it had not happen already. Surrender by criminals in uniform day and night; knowing that society in this country consider convicts less that cockroaches without any constitutional rights so that is why they are warehoused and forgotten, only to become victims of ill intended, systematic and premeditated human right violations. <br /><br />No, you are wrong, the death penalty would be a the GIFT, not life in prison.<br /><br />If she gets life in prison, she may as well commit suicide. Remember, once your dead your are dead, there is nothing else after that. Why would you like her to be executed if want you want for her is punishment?

Last night I ...Hey guys, I am so disappointed, too. Last night I almost felt like someone died. Like we are mourning. Here is an interview with the foreman. Well an article about the interview. He thought she was emotionally abused. I wish they could have had testimony that she is a psychopath. ...or at least that they could have weighed in psychopathic tendencies. I have a feeling when some of these jurors see the interviews she did they are going to be extremely upset. She is so self centered and unemotional. ...the make-up and vanity. They are going to see a Jodi they may have suspected was there.... But in the interviews it is full blown proof. And that she did a media blitz the very night they started deliberating. Unbelievable. I feel so bad for those jurors and the Alexander family.<br /><br />Sue<br /><br />http://abcnews.go.com/US/jodi-arias-jury-foreman-18-days-testimony-hurt/t/story?id=19248546Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571196086974668221.post-37093254354459403772013-05-24T07:49:19.064-07:002013-05-24T07:49:19.064-07:00I can't believe how amazingly disappointed I a...I can't believe how amazingly disappointed I am. It completely confuses me that I, who have no immediate connection with the Alexander family, can grieve over something that doesn't directly involve me. But I am, and it does....What a crazy ride it has been. And what can I do with the sad, sick feeling that's been there since the verdict? I suspect there are many others out there like this. I try not to think of this as a "win" for Jodi, but it doesn't take away that again, it feels like she manipulated and got what she wanted. <br />I can only imagine the horror of the jurors now seeing all of the info that they missed and either being further convicted of their death penalty vote, or really shocked at how they were manipulated and mistakenly gave her the opportunity to continue her existence, seemingly making the world a better place with her hair and promises to create programs already in place at the prison. Not saying this in a hateful manner, but I truly hope they are able to live with their decisions and move on from this. <br />I truly wanted the death penalty, now I think I just want to put this all away. I do understand that prison will be no bed of roses, but my biggest fear is that she will still be able to communicate, i.e, tweet, interview, sell her goods, and further torment the Alexander family and the rest of us. I guess I am hoping that the state, if possible, will just offer life without parole, and allow everyone to go forward. If they can offer the stipulation that she is not allowed to give interviews or communicate through social media, well then that would at least mark an end to her celebrity to a large degree. Juan did an incredible job, I don’t want to take that from him, but reliving for a jury that won’t be able to experience first-hand the emotions of the five months we’ve just lived through seems pointless. <br /> I so wish that I had never gotten emotionally "involved" with this case the way that I have, but I suspect that most people, hearing the facts, would try to understand the evil that surrounds it as well. Atleast I hope I'm not in the minority. I have grappled with my true intentions... do I just want justice for Travis and his family, or do I feel so strongly about Jodi that I want her put to death? What kind of person feels like that? I don't know... It's an unexpected question to ask myself and one I hope I will understand one day.<br />Thanks for allowing me to share/vent. Between your blog, My Forte, and the Justice for Travis Facebook page, I have felt part of an understanding community that helps me question myself just a bit less. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571196086974668221.post-4328625483580950852013-05-24T07:27:01.555-07:002013-05-24T07:27:01.555-07:00Sonja,

I'm wondering if this had been a man who savagely killed his ex girlfriend if the outcome would have been the same? JA's interviews, tweets etc. show the type of human being she really is and how self-centered her world is. If she really wanted other people's pain and suffering to end, she would shut her pie-hole and quit talking to anyone who will give her a microphone!

I don't think she'd get to live out the long life she expects to live in the general population. Either way, she deserved death and the family needs to heal. They are so angry and hurt. I pray for them and hope that others that have been victims of horrible crimes can reach out to them to help them forgive in someway. Not for Jodi's sake but for their own sake and their families. Hate will destroy. I am thinking especially of a young woman who was set on fire by an ex-boyfriend. I think it was all caught on tape by a convenience store camera where she ran in for help. Later in an interview I thought she was beautiful because of her inner beauty and forgiveness. She was glowing despite the scars. Her smile was so genuine and beautiful. I remember her saying that no one can take her 'joy'. I know it's too early for the Alexander family but I wish that for them. It's not really forgiveness, it's giving the event to God and letting Him be the judge and leaving the final punishment or total forgiveness to Him as He sees fit. Hope they can do that.

Since we know they tried to ditch her several times over these past months, I believe it is a court ordered decision or the money is too good to pass up. It appeared to me that Nurmi couldn't even bring himself to look at JA by the time final arguments started,so good luck with that. <br /><br />Some news commentators are suggesting the state should instruct JM to cut a deal with JA now due to the millions the trial has already cost taxpayers. If she is incarcerated for life, the cost will be far greater & will still include attorney fees for further appeals. I believe the only person that thinks her life is worth the extra millions to the taxpayers is her mother. But that's what mother's do. They stand behind their children no matter what.<br /><br />As for the rest of her family, I believe their support will fade with time. Either due to logistics or finances. Her poor father will more than likely become too frail to visit as he battles kidney failure. I truly think it won't matter to JA since she was basically estranged from them since her early teens. They have served their purpose for her.<br /><br />I predict that life in prison for JA will become so stressful that she may return to her original wish for death ("the ultimate freedom"). She will not be treated as the special victim she claims to be. She will be harassed and treated as badly or more likely worse since she is so notorious. She has already earned the title of Diva in the county jail. <br /><br />Yes, JA will grow older and more bitter with each passing day as she thinks about what her life could have been. <br /><br />Perhaps, despite the monetary cost, the sentence of life without parole would be the ultimate punishment after all.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571196086974668221.post-37502320052147018132013-05-24T06:34:59.731-07:002013-05-24T06:34:59.731-07:00I don't think Lifetime has a 100% viewing audi...I don't think Lifetime has a 100% viewing audience. Especially for their trashy movies. I know I don't watch it. The other media attention on this trial like the local Fox affiliate, HLN, etc, has probably already tainted the jury pool but I think there are still those out there, especially in the working public and the male working public especially, that have not been following this trial and all the sideshows. Those of us, and I include myself, that are a little too obsessed with this event, are probably in the minority. With that being said, I think that you don't have to say that you haven't seen or heard of Jodi Arias... only that you don't have an opinion as to the (in this case) penalty. You must be impartial, not from another planet. Plus, her guilt is already been established so they need to make sure they have people who 1. believe she is guilty based on the verdict and 2. could impose the death penalty if they believe it is the proper sentence. They don't get to rehash the guilt phase. I think it will be much harder for them to seat 12 jurors who will give her life than 12 that will give her death. It's a crap shoot for Jodi now. I think her defense might be hoping for a plea deal at this stage but, hopefully, Juan Martinez will stand firm and the family will be strong.

Her families feelings? A recycling program?

ZIP.
