The verdict just came down in the aggravation phase of Jodi's case--extreme cruelty was proven, which means that she is one step closer to the death penalty. Sentencing is tomorrow, so we'll see what happens.

What say you about this case?

I've heard about this case. With all her lying and everything, she seems like a sociopath.

It's unfortunate the trial took so long. Based on the content of the text messages, and the percived camera-friendly defendant, this trial just became tabloid fodder.

I understand she's one of those Borderline Personality Disorder... witches.
If I seem unsympathetic toward women with that mental disorder, it's because I had been jerked around by one such ex girlfriend in my past with BPD. Such persons can sniff out Aspies and other naive individuals. In this case, Arias did more than take this poor man's money. Then she sought to destroy his good name when he was no longer around to defend himself.
Sorry for the rant.

It was proven that she brought several containers of gasoline to his house.

I wonder why she did not burn the house down and destroy the evidence.


It would seem she was planning to.

Why? If she's guilty, she's guilty. Unless, of course, you believe her story that she was a battered woman despite all the evidence to the contrary.

I don't believe that there should be a death penalty generally but that's a separate issue.

I am sick, disgusted, and just plain nauseated by Americans' sensationalizing this garbage, just like they did with O.J. and Anna Nicole and Casey may-she-get-cancer-and-die Anthony! I know the justice system, which is male-dominated, are biased towards women, and want to much easier on them for murder than they would a man. They want to keep living in a fairy-tale world where no woman would ever murder someone, that all women are sweet and soft and delicate, and are the cooks and maids and caretakers of society. Also men don't feel as emotional when it's a child who was killed because they lack "maternal instincts" that woman have, it's like they have no feelings at all. Screw the US, screw their media and screw the justice system!! ! :evil:

Wait, are you upset she is (going to be) sentenced to death, that she had a lengthy trial by jury, or that she was tried in the first place?

No state or country is perfect, but the media coverage really is beyond the trial court's control.

Well yes, we Americans are absolutely horrible! Canada has it right and there is not one bit of gender bias up there. Nope, not one bit. Ever.

WTF
