When Jodi's turn comes, I won't weep for her. She has sat by silently allowing the abuse of Terri. She could stop it now simply by coming forward with what she knows. When her turn comes, it will be poetic justice.

How will we ever know? Once Terri is dead, the new Schiavo "family" will disappear from the screen. Besides, this time Schiavo may really be "in love."
When Jodi's turn comes, I won't weep for her. She has sat by silently allowing the abuse of Terri. She could stop it now simply by coming forward with what she knows. When her turn comes, it will be poetic justice. It's been awhile since I've thought about Jodi, but she's the most significant aspect of this case I don't have a feel for. I wonder what her motivation is. It seems there could be several:
- She may just be a very timid person
- Michael may be threatening her or the children with physical harm should she fail to toe the line.
- Michael may have something with which to blackmail her
- She may have left an "insurance" envelope with someone (an envelope which that person would forward to the police should she meet an untimely demise).
- She may be planning on abandoning and blackmailing Michael from a safe, possibly foreign, location as soon as Terri is dead.
Depending upon Jodi's motivation, I wonder if she could become an ally. If she's going along with Michael because she fears he'll harm her otherwise, I wonder if she might be convinced that turning state's evidence would be the best way to protect her and her children, since otherwise she'd always risk Michael turning on her as he did Terri.
Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but if Jodi were to start singing, that could help Terri's supporters overcome a lot of obstacles.
