I feel sorry for Jodi, who among us would be able to talk about such private things in front of cameras? I wouldn't be able to do as calmly as Jodi. I would be s sniveling, crying fool. Yes she murdered Travis, she deserves to be punished, but this is still embarrassing and I feel sorry for her.

I tend to cry when I get mad, or embarrassed, or even really frustrated. I would have been crying like a baby soooo many times if I were in Jodi's position on the witness stand. It is very strange. It makes me feel that she really is a sociopath. "Real" emotions don't come naturally to her. It's like she is dead inside. Or like she is reveling in the attention and notoriety. (I'm not a shrink, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.)
I don't feel bad for Jodi. She shows no remorse. The way she butchered Travis sickens me. If she said it was a crime of passion, fessed up, and admitted her wrong, I think I might feel a little badly for her. What she is putting Travis' family through is really awful.
I respect your opinion though. I really do. Please don't think I'm trying to argue or take anything away from it.

i agree that she seems strangely unemotional, but it's also been like five years since he died right? and she has been 'crying' from time to time.
i'm a crier. i cry when i am overwhelmed by any emotion. i'd say i'd be a wreck up there, but i'd never be up there in the first place.
Why feel sorry for her? If she hadn't done this she wouldn't have to answer these questions. She did not have to get on the stand but becase her threats to drag Travis and other people through the mud didn't work with the prsecution she is where she is. She deserves everything she has brought upon herself!
Yeah, I don't like that at all. Blood lust in any form is pretty sick.
Like I said, I have mixed emotions about the death penalty. I'd be completely against it, but then I think, what if it were my child who was murdered? I might feel differently then. I don't know.
I wish no one would murder anyone to begin with. Then the rest of us non-murdering people wouldn't have to make these awful choices.
Ever watch the movie "Dead Man Walking"...that movie shook me to my core. :(

Justice, I didn't take that as a negative comment toward me. No worries. I agree with you about her sociopathy. I was trying to put myself in her place and I felt embarrassed for her. A lot more than she felt!I can't imagine getting up on that stand and have to recount trysts I had. I would rather stay in prison.
I hope she gets LWOP. I want her to spend the rest of her life, knowing the world goes on without her. That for Jodi is worse than hell.
