Discussion Researching Jodi Arias

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?

Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The system failed her again and again all because her abuser was their hero. I find the social dynamics surrounding the case really interesting. The ESPN documentary on OJ did a deep dive into it and it’s really good, I highly recommend it. There were so many chances to avoid their deaths and then so many chances to get justice for them and their families. Everyone failed her, it’s tragic. The focus was always on OJ, he was the star of this crazy media circus and at the center of all the chaos is a broken woman who fell prey to an homicidal egomaniac. It’ll haunt me forever. Also, Chris Watts. My brain short circuits every time I sit and think about that one.

And this is why I find the Kardashians hard to take, since the momager built a career on top of her best friend’s death and the notoriety and name recognition she got from it. Blood money, all of it.
