Her mom couldn't even manage to even cry. Had that been a child of mine, I would have been a basket case. Oh, and now, years later, Arias finally admits he was alive when she slit his throat. In my opinion, she had to have straddled his back and the 9 stab wounds there to reach around and saw his throat. How could someone do that if the victim was facing them?
And defense wounds were PROVEN. He was not attacking her...he was trying to get away; trying to go on living. I am glad she got 'the rest of her natural life' in prison.
And Wilmott...all those 'cases' she used as examples and they were granted "Life with release", but...she failed to say some had pleaded GUILTY for that lesser sentence and some more were given that sentence by JURYS. The judge herself admitted the Mitigators did NOT outweigh the PROVEN AGRAVATOR, including premeditation and covering up what she had done. She reminded them all that this was MUCH MORE than a mere "2 minutes" from Arias life, 2 minutes when she 'made a mistake.' I could not believe Willmot was that desperate, to bring that up!
I also was not one bit surprised that Arias own siblings and not even Darryl Brewer or the other ex -- Matt-- could not bring themselves to be here and plead for her to get the 25 year sentence. The fact is...it appears no one cares if they never see her again!
Her own mother admitted she will continue to turn her attention NOW to her other children and grandchildren. The family may write her now and then, to ease their own conscience a bit, but that's it, I think. They may be secretly glad that this is over and she's no longer ever going to come back and live under their roof again, even in 17 or 18 years!
