Pity she threw herself away on a man who wouldn’t respect her and then decided to stalk and kill the guy, with this resulting in her facing execution by the state.

She would be guilty if she shot and stabbed you to death.

$2,000,000 is peanuts compared to the $49,000,000 cost of an internal squabble.

That’s nothing compared to years of state support before she gets the needle.

You never know, people might demand a quick execution.

That’s actually a good thing. In capital cases, I want the defendant’s case to be argued by the Dream Team of shysters, so there’s no reason to doubt that he/she is guilty and deserves the needle. Prosecution teams do take short cuts and prosecution witnesses do perjure themselves or, in some cases, have faulty memories.

I’m in agreement; when it comes to people like Arias and Bundy and Dahmer, we need a quick execution date and then be done with it.

You know, when she started cutting his tires and escalating the harassment, he should have gone to the police and started filing criminal charges. More than a little jail time would have likely turned her around or just put her on the spot with the police who would have kept an eye on her and gotten the situation under some sort of control.

Travis never should have given her the leeway he did. He should have called the cops, started some sort of therapy, and then had the brains to get a gun and start locking the doors in his house. He was irresponsible in regards to his safety.

Just to add, if someone has a faulty memory or lies, then certainly serious prison time should be given. I think the best defense possible should be provided during a penalty phase where a life is on the line. In no way should short cuts be allowed and the procedures done by prosecutors should be monitored to ensure that they aren’t taking shortcuts.

I’ve seen her evidence photos recovered from her cell phone. She may look not guilty here, but there are some things you just can’t unsee.

Something seriously wrong with her lady parts.

That's what Travis said -- even after she broke into his house, hacked his phone and computer, sent pornographic emails and nasty texts to his work and friends, and slashed his tires. He just HAD to have IT one ...more...time.
