[ nope... that screws up the system. that's why the dp sucks so bad - it disqualifies impartial people from judging cases. i would have no problem saying 'yes, based on the evidence, this person is guilty and deserves such and such punishment...' so long as if it turns out the evidence was wrong, or new evidence comes out proving his/her innocence, it won't be too late to correct the problem.
if you can't be 100% sure that 100% of those sentenced to die are 100% guilty, then you are probably killing some innocent people. no bueno. even 1 innocent death is too much.
what i also have a problem with is giving someone i think is 100% guilty a lesser verdict, just because i fear they will be killed. it skews the system and does not serve justice. also, i'd have to perjure myself to even be considered as a juror. the only way they'd let me on was if i said that i could consider the dp as a punishment.
This makes me think about that couple from 48 hours, Sky and someone. I think they lived in the Palm Desert area (760 shout out!) and let the two of them meet up at their house. Sky said in the doc that she asked Travis "Is she for real? Is she really this nice?" Personally, I think she is a sociopath and she was used to acting nice to get her way. Also, growing up in a heavily Mormon community myself, I was often in and around the church. My friends were so squeaky clean and sweet, and when I was with them I really cleaned it up too. Many of my secular friends said it was two faced, though it wasn't meant to be that way. It just felt bad to curse or whatever around people who didn't. Kind of a "when in Rome" type thing. It wasn't fake, but perhaps a mask. Which is what I thought of many of my friends growing up in that community. They hid their troubles well, and the surface was a very clean image. I think Jodi easily adopted that mask when she was with those people. There was no need to be nasty, when being nice got you what you wanted. Until it didn't, and then Travis paid the ultimate price. Because it was just a mask to her, not a core belief system.
Although, I do wonder if she knew about the history of the church and blood atonement... Just sayin'...
Yep. That couple. Sky and what's his face. I liked them.
I think she's weird, and a bit nutty. I think either people broke in and did some shit, and she's a retard who doesn't know how to act. Or, she had help and figures she'll play dumb until she can go home cause they don't have enough to prove anything.
Both are more plausible than this little girl hulking out and basically butchering a grown man to death all by herself.
A bit is tongue in cheek, but to 100% think she's guilty and did it all solo?
I feel like Kristin when she said it's like everyone is on crazy pills.
Fair enough. If I'm being honest, I'd say that I am a bit confused about the premeditation part, versus her strength. It seems premeditated, but then that kind of cancels out my idea of adrenaline giving her the strength to do the job. Maybe it doesn't, but it seems less likely. However, I do think she did it, and did it alone. I just don't know much more than that.
Thank you for answering!
I remember the last name was Hughes... I think the guy's name might have been Chris?
And OMG I have know a lot of Mormon women that are fakey fake nice. I don't think they mean to be, but it's how they are brought up and it gets them what they want easier. There were a couple of them who fucked me over with a big fat smile on their faces like "You can't be mad at me! I'm so cheerful and nice!"
Not to say all Mormon women are like that, nor that there are not non-Mormon women like that.

I don't think premediatation cancels out the adrenaline rush. She probably waited until he pissed her off and was very angry before she did it. She may have had different scenarios in her head too, like, if he acts this way, he lives, if he acts that way, he dies. Then he acted that way and OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT DIE MOTHERFUCKER

She could have also panicked when it got super messy instead of just dying in the shower and washing all the blood away. I keep thinking... I'm about her size, but maybe 10 pounds heavier. I can't imagine doing what she did, but I think I could probably move the amount of weight she did. It wouldn't be easy, but I don't think it was easy for her. Hence the blanket and the lost camera in the wash and all that.
This ^^^...plus rolling his body onto a sheet or whatever, would have made it easier to move him.
Yes. I don't know why people keep forgetting she used a sheet to move the body.
Geez, I'm slow. The above comment was in reference to ZeeBee and the adrenalin rush.
