Welcome Elaine. Good post.
Duluth and Elaine, Arias has already said she will do an allocution. I knew she would because it is an opportunity to manipulate the jury without being cross examined by Martinez.
Arias has been planning the allocution for the retrial for two years. Maria de la Rosa got in trouble at the jail for carrying out a drawing of Arias in an envelope marked Allocution many months before the retrial even began.
Arias sees this as her opportunity to convince the jury that she is a talented artist and a philanthropist who gives the proceeds to cancer victims, domestic violence survivors, the poor, the hungry, the downtrodden, a talented book reviewer and writer who plans to write a best seller self help book. How could they kill someone who has so much to offer society?
Arias plans on showing at least one drawing and bragging about auctioning off a drawing and the glasses she wore in the last trial and donating the proceeds in Travis Alexander's name to St. Jude's and the food bank. She will also mention she let her hair grow from the last trial to the beginning of the retrial so she could cut it off and donate it to Locks of Love.
I'm sure she will show the pictures of her with Bobby, Mat and Daryl to show she was desired by men. Maybe she will be even show a picture of her niece whom she has never seen or her cat to try to pull on their heartstrings. There will be no picture of former best friend forever Patty Womack because they are now arch enemies since Patty announced on the Dr. Drew Show that she was no longer Arias friend and she didn't testify because she sympathized with the Alexander family. Them are fighting words to Ms. Arias who doesn't tolerate anyone siding with her "abuser" and his family against, her the self appointed spokeswoman for all domestic violence survivors.
I doubt if Arias will talk about forming a book club and recycling program at Perryville because those were laughed at but I am sure she will have new ideas to save the planet since she tweeted about how Estrella Jail was polluting the planet with using Styrofoam cups.
I doubt if she will tell the Alexander family she is sorry she murdered their brother because she thinks he deserved it and she is still hanging on to her self defense story even though this jury will not hear it because she can not say she is remorseful if she says she killed him trying to save her life.
Elaine, at the murder trial Arias admitted she lied to cover up her crime but in her "secret" testimony to the new jury, she said she lied about killing Alexander for two years because she couldn't face that she would do anything so horrific, that she is not a violent person and she just wasn't herself that day.
