I found a clip from Jodi Arias last allocution:
https://tv.yahoo.com/video/jodi-arias-full-statement-jury-204640014-cbs.html
What struck me the most was how she spoke in a professional tone as if she was a businesswoman giving a speech after dinner. The speech was all about the Great Jodi Arias who was a cute child, a doting big sister, a daughter who mended fences with her father after moving out, a girlfriend who doted on her boyfriend's son and attended his birthday party at Chuck E Cheese and went hiking with him and his father, a sister who will never go to her sister's wedding or hold her nieces, a talented artist who will never create another oil painting, the caring person who donated her hair to cancer patients, an avid reader who can help the illiterate if she is put in general population, a great friend, a woman who will never be a bride or mother, etc. etc.
And she has pictures to prove what a wonderful life she had until she made "the worst mistake of my life." It is bad enough that she may see butchering Travis Alexander as "a mistake" but I think the real mistake she is referring to is meeting Travis Alexander because she blame his murder on him. If she had never met him, he could never cheat on her, reject her and move on to marry someone else and force her to drive 1,000 miles with a knife and gun to make him suffer, regret he ever crossed her and dispatch him to hell. Her saying, "This happened because of our sexual transgressions. I wonder what Travis is going through now" after she murdered him indicates to me that she believed he was burning in hell because he had sex with her and died before he had a chance to repent.
It was all a pity party for all the things she is going to miss out on.
What about what Travis Alexander and the world are missing out on for her slaughtering him?
I was especially disgusted that she found it necessary to say that she never wanted all these horrible things to come out about Travis Alexander and she never wanted to go to trial. Again deflecting the blame on the state and the Alexander family for not taking her plea and letting her walk in eight years or less.
Here's also some of the inappropriate comments she made.
"Before that day, I would not even harm a spider."
"For that I am going to be sorry for the rest of my life."
"My family has suffered a great loss."
"Stephen doesn't want to see his murderer. If I get life, he won't have to."
"I can't in good consciousness ask you to sentence me to death."
"I want everyone's healing to begin and everyone's pain to stop."
