Jodi Arias is currently in the final phase of trial proceedings in the State of Arizona for the 2008 slaughter of her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander. The murderess has been convicted of pre-meditated murder, which aligns her with the death penalty or life. As the slaughter of Mr. Alexander was deemed extremely cruel in the second phase of the trial she moved closer to the death or life. In the third and final phase of the capital case the murderess was given the opportunity to address the jury at a podium illustrate redeeming qualities which suit her for life and not death.
Throughout the trial proceedings, Jodi Arias, has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that she suffers from some kind of personality disorder, that her mental status and constitution is warped beyond repair. Megalomaniacal and narcissistic are two of the most popular words used to described her. Watching her performance, for it is little else but, one is hopelessly mesmerized by what an unmitigated loon she is, how cold and unfeeling she is and how divorced she is from "reality": that phenomenon to which most normal people pay homage. She truly has opened up an entirely new category of sick and depraved which should be studied for decades to come.
This woman stabbed her ex-boyfriend, after sex, almost 30 times, cut his throat from ear to ear and also shot him in the head. There has been consistent debate about the order of the slaying but either way you portray it-shooting first, stabbing afterwards or stabbing first and shooting afterwards, there is a level of depravity and sickness which is completely divorced from humanity. The anger that it took to pull off such a feat makes one quiver with fear and trembling, to know that a human being is capable of such an act.
When the murderess took the stand to defend her life it was the rambling of a crazy person completely divorced from the act for which she had been convicted. She did a presentation, yes, a presentation of her life from birth to her twenties in which she showed pictures of her family and friends and ex-lovers. She begged for mercy not for herself but for her family who would undoubtedly suffered untold pain were she to be executed. She talked about the things she could do in prison to help other women were she given life instead of death. She talked about starting a book club, helping others to learn Spanish, and donating her hair to Locks of Love for cancer stricken patients and oh, yes, the kicker, since she was a survivor of domestic violence, she wanted to sell t-shirts. This woman claims the man she mercilessly slaughtered abused her. There was no corroborating evidence of this none-what-so-ever. Many domestic violence survivors have been insensed that she would dare invoke such status. She also claimed she was abused as a child, another case for which there was never presented any corroborating evidence.
Why does this murderess deserve to die? Her kind of sickness and depravity cannot be permitted to exist in this world. We cannot allow society to be threatened by such sickness and depravity. The gravity of the situation is called to order by the fact that this murderous mistress is masquerading as a demure young maiden, broadcasting the blatant lie that she could not be capable of the gross and heinous act of violence she committed. With each stab she took at Travis Alexander, what humanity she had at the time evaporated, until finally when she slit his throat from ear to ear, all her humanity dried up. The Jodi Arias that existed before the slaying is not the Jodi Arias that existed after the slaying. Such a gross and heinous act of violence cannot help but interminably change a human being into a monster. You cannot come back from such a thing, especially when you file it away under "that never happened". This demure murderess did not show any redeeming qualities at her presentation. Locks of Love will go on after she is dead and buried; someone else can start a book club; someone else will teach women Spanish and domestic violence survivors can carry on without her. As for her art, she did have some skill in drawing, too f-ing bad. Most artists turn to their art in times of stress and upset particular during affairs of the heart. Why did not this looney murderer paint and draw instead hacking and slicing? Because art was not as important to her or play such a "mitigating" role as she would like us to believe. So, let someone else draw. The world will get on just fine without her art.
Travis Alexander had throngs of people in the courtroom and outside the courtroom routing for justice. Jodi Arias could barely find witnesses to support her. Had she a throng of people begging for her life, I would say ok, give the bitch a chance...well, no I wouldn't I would still advocate her death, but I would be a little more impressed.
Curiously enough, one thing that was conspicuously absent from her presentation was any reference to God or Universal energy. Most prisoners find God in jail and in the five years she has been incarcerated there has been no mention of God or forgiveness. Even a posturing in this regard could have been used to prop up her stone-faced person. Without such an offering for what reason should her life be spared? She has offered nothing to evince value in her life. She has manipulated and construed to an extent which is flagrant and unmitigated. She has thoroughly enjoyed the limelight for a gross and heinous act of violence. And we should spare such a life? No, we should not. Society would not be made better with her existence, society would have one less depraved individual in its midst.
The death penalty is for gross and heinous acts of violence. That is what I always thought. The process is flawed, though. All through trial the jury is advised that emotion is not an invited guest. All decisions are logical and based upon empirical data. Yet at the end the murderer is allowed to make an emotional plea to the jury; the defense is allowed to invoke morality and judgment appealing to the emotions of the jury. FLAWED! The fact that this unrepentant murderer can stand up and plead for her life is insolence of the most grievous kind. HOW DARE she be given the opportunity to weigh her life in the balance against that of her victim. Did her victim have the opportunity to plead for his life? Did she spare him any mercy as she jabbed the knife into his flesh over and over and over and over again? Did she give him the opportunity to show what he could accomplish were he given the opportunity to live? When she slit his throat and dragged his naked body into the bath tub and left it to rot and calmly cleaned herself up and left the house, was she thinking about the children he might have had or the lives he could have changed? Nope. So why on earth should we even pretend to offer her the same dignity? There is no mercy here. She has proven she is unworthy of mercy. The qualification for mercy is a "pure and contrite" heart. Such is conspicuously absent in Jodi Arias. "Off with her head"!
