Jodi Arias Verdict

I have not followed this case at all but can anyone explain why it's gotten so much attention? Is it because of how violent the death was?

I have not followed it either, but I do recall mentions of deviant sexuality. That would totally explain it...
 
Five years to get a verdict. If sentenced to death, that'll take what, about ten years with countless appeals? Cost to taxpayers - a shit ton. In the millions for sure. Our system of legal justice needs some reworking.

How, I don't know.
 
She was beyond guilty, and an obvious master manipulator. She could answer every question with precision and perfect clarity...until asked about her killing of her boyfriend. Then she everything was "I don't have recollection of that." Total B.S.

I'm just glad the pretty girl didn't skirt the law this time. My faith in the justice system is restored.

The system the UK has is a bit better, and the judge has a lot more power - specifically being allowed to determine what the court examines, though someone from the UK can probably comment more on that.

Albert Pierrepont sums up the differences pretty well:

The part of the routine which I found it hardest to acclimatise myself to was the, to me, sickening interval between my introduction to the prisoner and his death. Under British custom I was working to the sort of timing where the drop fell between eight and twenty seconds after I had entered the condemned cell. Under the American system, after I had pinioned the prisoner, he had to stand on the drop for perhaps six minutes while his charge sheet was read out, sentence spelt out, and he was asked if he had anything to say, and after that I was instructed to get on with the job.

She thought she was a master manipulator. She also had to think she was smarter than everyone else and should easily be able to sway the simple minds of 12 people in the jury.
 
Weird how i never hear about these cases until the verdict comes in. Never knew who casey anthony was either until her verdict.

I cut the cord, maybe that's why
 
I sat through an hour of this trial in a doctor's waiting room, and it consumes Headline News at night. Thank G-d it's finally over.

clearly not a 'master manipulator' if she was that transparent, that is unless you're suggesting it was always her intention to manipulate the system to give her guilty verdict
 
Had she been a popular party girl she would have been acquitted of the crime like Casey Anthony. Jodi Arias' only problem was that she was not beautiful, and in America, that is a crime. Americans love to pardon the people who are pretty enough.

Since she's only average looking she's going to jail. That's how American justice works.

But Anthony is butt fucking ugly. :colbert:
 
I didn't follow this case at all except to say she sounded like she would have been a good time, at least until the stabbing started.

She just never ran into anyone with the training, experience, and the willingness to expend the effort to dismantle her manipulations. Must have come as quite a shock to her that her batting average was no longer 1.000.

:biggrin: Yeah, it has nothing to do with the evidence.
