Self Defense = Shot in face, stabbed 27 times and slashed form ear to ear... (Jodi Arias murder trial)

I kind of tuned out this trial for the last 3-4 weeks, because after hearing the juror questions, it seemed a settled matter that she was toast. I signed up to receive a text from the Phoenix Fox affiliate for when they came to a verdict.

:baddecision

They must have taken advantage of their opportunity, because I rarely get sales/solicitation calls on my cell. I had 17 missed messages when I turned my phone on today. One from someone I know and 16 bs telemarketing calls. So irritating, going to have to change number if it persists for a few days as I imagine once they sell your number, you are fucked.

We should put her in a cell with the Cleveland Kidnapper.

"Jurors will return to court Thursday to begin the next phase of the trial that could set the stage for Arias receiving a death sentence.

It's a punishment that Arias herself says she wants, telling a TV station minutes after her conviction that she would "prefer to die sooner than later."

"Longevity runs in my family, and I don't want to spend the rest of my natural life in one place," a tearful Arias told Fox affiliate KSAZ. "I believe death is the ultimate freedom and I'd rather have my freedom as soon as I can get it.""

See, this is basically the biggest issue I have against the death penalty - (aside from the obvious fact that it costs taxpayers a SHITLOAD more overall for someone on death row vs serving life).

I am not a psycho crazy nutjob myself, but I can imagine that if I were to get a maximum sentence with pretty much no chance of seeing the outside ever again, I would probably want to be put out of my misery instead of serving multiple decades in a cell along with all of the ahem 'benefits' that come with it. I don't know about the rest of you, but I would see a lifetime in solitary as a tremendously bigger punishment than the gas chamber. All I view the death penalty as, is the easy way out. There are plenty of people in this world who murder and other shit, and don't give a shit if they die (and sometimes prefer that they would die) anyway, so why the fuck are we giving them the easy way out...and paying MORE tax dollars to boot??

The death penalty is the biggest fucking joke. Deterrent? Yeah right. Like anyone who has ever murdered thought, "Oh shit, if I do this I might get the death penalty."

I just can't stand people that are against the death penalty and for abortion, or vice versa. Either kill or don't, pick a side already.

I have always been for the death penalty, but in our system it is so flawed I have no choice but to be against it.

Shit needs a complete overhaul.

(CNN) -- Jodi Arias was "especially cruel" when she stabbed, shot and nearly decapitated her ex-boyfriend in 2008, a jury in Arizona found on Wednesday.

The jury's decision means Arias, 32, will face the possibility of the death penalty in the next phase of her murder trial.

I followed none of this case. The only reason this is being covered is because she is a white semi-hot chick. She also liked it up the ass which adds an element.

If she were black and killed her dealer, nobody would care, that is a fact.

Your comparison is totally wrong. Travis Alexander wasn't breaking the law.

Also, read up on this case. Initially Arias didn't even claim to be involved. She said it was a "home invasion". Watching her build lie upon lie and then go with this defense is the reason most people cared.

You post such uninformed shit sometimes.

Jodi Arias, who said after her murder conviction she would prefer death to life imprisonment, stood before jurors Tuesday and pleaded for her life instead, asking them not to punish her family for her actions.

She's going to get the DP. I can't see it going any other way. Especially since she actually asked for it at one point.

Personally, I still would prefer for some of these fuckers to rot in solitary for the rest of their life, rather than giving them the easy way out. Not to mention that it costs way fucking less than euthanizing them.

(CBS/AP) -- After launching deliberations Tuesday afternoon, a jury weighing whether or not Jodi Arias will be sentenced to death has announced they are unable to reach a unanimous decision.

Have no fear unlike other states if the Jury gets hung and cant decide this doesn't automatically mean she gets to live. AZ law says if the 1st jury cant decide on death or life they will actually pick a new jury for the penalty phase and try again.. Now if that jury gets hung also THEN the bitch lives unfortunately.. Yes technically she could get 25 to life but given the facts of the case the judge giving her that instead of flat life without parole (yes she has the choice) would be highly unlikely and probably lead to her being put in judicial purgatory in the state.

(CNN) -- An Arizona jury Thursday said it was unable to reach a unanimous agreement and would be unable to decide what penalty Jodi Arias should receive for killing her ex-boyfriend.

Judge Sherry Stephens declared a mistrial for the penalty phase of the trial. That means a new jury will be chosen, but the first-degree murder conviction still stands.

Just praying for a jury summons in a couple months ;)..

It was only a matter of time before the Jodi Arias saga became a made-for-TV movie, courtesy of Lifetime.

On Thursday, the network announced “Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret” will hit the small screen in June.

The flick will star “Lost” actress Tania Raymonde as Arias and Jesse Lee Soffer, of “The Mob Doctor,” as Travis Alexander.

The afthermath of this trial stinks of sensationalism by the press. Anything for ratings these slut TV reporters. Just sentence the b*tch to life and let it be. They'll never execute the little winch in a million years anyways. Sure looks like a hot piece although going to waste.

And thoughs about the boyfriend? Scumbag just like her but didn't deserve the execution.

Airs this Sunday night on Lifetime...
