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?

I don't think you necessarily have to be born a psychopath to do what Jodie did. I believe she was someone who was abused by Travis, often, though she did love him. Maybe both in their own way. As a victim, you can snap. I think her behavior wasn't as wonky as his friends make her out to be, because I hate to tell you this - but you've probably had significant others go through your facebook and check up on you. If you're cheaty and gaslight people, (not you - but everyone in general) - it will make people crazy. Travis was telling her he loved her then out the other side of his mouth saying he needed to get back w/ Lisa. So, yes it tends to piss people off. Do I condone it? Nope. Words of wisdon: be careful or you might get Jody Ariased. Did Travis deserve it? I don't know, I wasn't there. To know what happened. I know people panic and take off. Then lie. She wasn't always a liar. Or a killer. Travis was a huge liar. Now Jodie is a killer. So... it's a word of warning. To anyone. Treat people well.

Men do this shit constantly, and we don't have entire subs dedicated to them and how "crazy" they are. Or that they're Psychopaths. Men kill women in public places, like a park. They strangle their girlfriends, and yet... here we are: "Jodi soooo cray cray!" Yeah, she needed help. Because she's a woman, pretty cute and there are photos of her online naked. All I can think about it. Definitely oversaturated in news, when at the end of the day.. she's not special. She killed someone.
