That being said I am very much of the opinion that she shot him last when there were inadvertent movements of the body that may have freaked her out. Otherwise, the shot was a final display of rage. I totally agree with you in that the gun was a last resort because she was smart enough to realize it could link her to the crime scene. Which is why she took it with her, of course.
I was thinking about that video where Travis is describing the near-death incident with the gun to his temple. Someone mentioned already that they felt JA was capitalizing on the fear that Travis expressed he felt in that story during the killing. I agree with that the more I think about it. If you watch the first interrogation video, she seems flabbergasted when Flores puts the evidence in front of her proving wrong her claim that she wasn't in AZ. I think she went into that visit with Flores feeling she was in the clear because she had covered her tracks in so many ways already - the ninja story didn't exist yet at all. She of course didn't count on the camera (I'm convinced she scooped it up with bloody clothing by accident and threw it in the wash without realizing it). After a night in jail spent thinking about how to explain away the little bit of evidence Flores told her about, she took Travis' robbery story (already fresh in her mind) and twisted it into something that reflected a little bit of the truth, a bit of Travis' story, and shit she had seen on TV.
She's very odd to me - on the one hand she is diabolically smart when it comes to manipulating things for her benefit. On the other hand, she is clearly an idiot.
