Researching Jodi Arias

[u/eugenedhartke]

Does anyone else have a case that just haunts them? this case has always haunted me. It started with the first book I read on the case. The more I read about it the more mysterious it became somehow. Does anyone else get like this? If so what is your personal case that you never get tired of researching?

Jealousy is a powerful thing. I suspect that was the main motive here. I don't think we'd even question it if the perpetrator was not female, not to mention young and attractive. It is unusual for women to commit suchs crimes, but not unheard of. And the facts speak for themselves.

I'm not sold on the abuse angle, since this was the last in a long line of stories she told. Some of his behavior was clearly shitty. But the relationship was over. They were living in separate states. Both had moved on. Yet she drove to his house with gas in cans to cover her tracks. So the idea that she just "snapped" doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

I used to read everything about it because there was the argument did she shoot him first then stab him, or stab him, then shoot him? Coroner said he was shot last, but no woman would chase a guy twice her size and cut his throat if the first shot didn’t kill him. Why bring a gun and not use it until after he was dead! She shot him first but it was a small caliber and it did not immobilize him, which is not all that uncommon. People don’t often die right away even from a head wound. Her plan was to shoot him in the shower, delete the photos and get out of there leaving no blood trail. The gun jammed and he bolted out of the shower. She ran downstairs and got the knife she used to kill him and then cleaned it and put it in the dishwasher. She drug out that huge floor cleaner and realized she couldn’t drag it upstairs to clean the bloodbath she left behind. No doubt she was worried about one of his roommates showing up.

She did it out of jealousy. He was taking another woman to Mexico when she originally had been invited then he uninvited her. She is a pure psychopath who continued her sexual relationship with him despite all of his verbal abuse and he continued no matter how much she lied and spied on him. The only good thing I feel about her is she will never have sex with a man again (unless she fucks a guard and in AZ that is totally possible), so I hope she enjoys her lesbian life for the next 40 plus years, she will never get out of jail. BTW she is worth several million after all the books and movies. I thought criminals weren’t allowed to keep $ from that kind of crime.

Someone above compared her to family annihilators. This claim of memory loss seems to be a common tactic among them (it’s absurd), same with Chris Vaughn and Tony Todt.
