AreYou “Buying” What Jodi Arias Is “Selling?”

Written by on February 5, 2013 in Court Cases
 

imageOn February 4, 2013 Jodi Arias took the stand in her own defense.  No one was expecting this happen.  For the past two days the jury has been subjected to a long and drawn out telling of her life story.  Poor Jodi was subjected abuse as a child, and by abuse I am referring to being spanked.  God forbid her parents discipline her!  Jodi’s mother carried a wooden spoon in her purse, Jodi must have a been a very unruly child, if this is in fact true.  Now granted I don’t agree with a parent disciplining their child with objects but it was the norm for that generation. For God’s sake there are tons of people who were corporeally punished and you don’t see them committing such a heinous crime.

Furthermore it seems every boyfriend Jodi ever had cheated on her.  Now that’s either some really bad luck or its total bull.  What do you think?  In my opinion, all of this testimony is trying to either a) humanize her, or b) explain her  thought process for killing Travis.  But, does childhood spankings and a run of “bad luck” with men excuse what she did to Travis?  Hell no!

I tell you one thing, this chick loves the sound of her voice.  I wonder what her defense team is thinking of her testimony so far?  I realize that with this being a “Self-Dense” case Jodi needed to take the stand, but I don’t think she is helping herself in any way whatsoever.  So far she has shown that she is possessive and devious, in the manner in which she tends to check boyfriends emails.  This is not a good thing for her to show, considering she was  labeled a “stalker” by Travis to his friends. 

At this point in her testimony she has revealed that she tends to remain “friends” with her ex-boyfriends.  This to me,  goes to show her possesiveness…the chick can’t let go and move on.  It makes you wonder what is actually going on in her mind.  Personally I think it was Jodi that was the “sexual deviant” and not Travis.  Simply because like is said earlier she tends to remain “friends” with her exes.  Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think so.  I’m not buying what Jodi Arias is selling, are you?

    Exact sentiments youve wrote. Plz no boohoos, i was abused for 10 yrs,1st marriage, but by no means does that have anything to do with being disciplined as an unruly teenager. ive been in luv 2xs, Jodi is 22 and ive lost count. Victor wanting her to walk on the inside of the boardwalk is called a gentleman, not controlling!

      That’s a fact and if I’m not mistaken walking on the outside of a male in Latin countries means you’re a prostitue. I could be wrong. You are correct though, her childhood is not an excuse for her actions as an adult. At some point she has got to take responsibility for her actions and accept the consequences for those actions.

    Uh, my parents used to “beat” me with a paddle and a belt. Oh, boo hoo. I am a typical 1960s/70s child of parents who had European-born roots. Oh boo hoo. A slapping on the butt with something IS NOT ABUSE. A “time out” does NOTHING. I also had men who used me for sex and discarded me, even when they tried to “woo” me with “love” and potential “marriage.”

    I didn’t murder anyone. I never took a knife to a “boyfriend” (sex partner) because he hurt my feelings.

    Instead — I went to a counselor/therapist. Easy decision. I’m much better for it.

    Arias has no excuse. She planned it. She in turn used Travis Alexander as her “whipping post” symbol to get back at him for treating her like a sl*t and for all the other previous boyfriends who did not want to marry her. The overkill in this case — approximately 28 knife wounds, PLUS slit ear to ear PLUS gunshot for good measure — shows she was killing all of them who done her wrong. PLUS she had this premeditated.

    This lovely looking, articulate, very bright young lady could have had it all should she have only walked away promising herself only that true love will indeed come along. But instead, she chose to make TA a symbol of the pent-up anger (NOT abuse) of being used sexually and not being taken seriously as wifey material, and totally destroyed him.

      So I take it you’re not “buying” what she’s “selling?

    • Just Georgia

      That comment should have included the fact that I completely agree with you and the fact that shes using this defense disgusts me and is an insult to those that were truly abused.

        Hi, Just Georgia! BTW, I love your name! And thank you for engaging me. Yes, I must say that I am NOT buying what she’s selling. And I’m damn mad at her. Damn mad. This is a young woman who had it all … and she threw it all away because she decided she did NOT want to handle another man throwing HER away. So, he became the symbol for all the men who hit it and quit it (It meaning her).

        • Just Georgia

          Thanks!! I thought it was funny so I went with it. And I love engaging with my readers…if if it weren’t for y’all there’d be no point in me writing. :)
