When I saw Jodi Arias give her allocution for a second time I thought of a black widow spider weaving a web of deception. She tried to deceive the jurors into believing she is not the liar, the seducer, the cold blooded murderer who premeditated and carried out a horrific murder in which her victim suffered extreme cruelty.
With a picture slide show, she tried to show them she was a normal child with a normal family and a good caring person. She has brothers and a sister and two parents who are still married. She had boyfriends and acted as a stepparent. She has nieces and nephews. She went hiking and to a child’s birthday party. She creates beautiful artwork. She donates her hair for wigs for cancer patients. She made a T shirt for survivors of domestic violence. Even if you don’t believe she is a domestic violence victim, this is a cause that she is passionate about.
In most mitigation cases for the death penalty, the family, teachers, former friends and boyfriends testify to the good character of the defendant but in this case none of them stepped forward because they knew in his cross examination Martinez would prove they were lying and bring out negative parts of Arias personality Arias does not want showcased.
I have no doubt that Arias will repeat her allocution with her Brag Bag of pictures, an art show and phony philanthropist act that she donated proceeds from her eye glasses and artwork to charity as a finale to the Jodi Arias Magic Show. When she was acting as her own attorney she chose witnesses to back up her illusion that she is the good caring normal person and Travis Alexander was the abuser, pedophile and sex maniac.
Dr. Fonseca, a sex expert from San Francisco, was purposely chosen to make Travis Alexander look like a sex crazed maniac who desired young women, girls and boys. Dr. Geffner was chosen to further smear Travis Alexander and paint Arias as an innocent victim. To do this he was asked to evaluate Arias and purposely skew the results by feeding her questions so the tests will not show she has Borderline Personality Disorder because that diagnosis proves she is terrified of abandonment and capable of violence and premeditating a murder.
Aileen Wuornos, who seduced and then brutally murdered men claiming they raped her, was diagnosed with BPD and was executed. Marissa DeVault, who murdered her husband with a hammer as he slept, was also diagnosed with BPD.
Geffner was also tasked with the job of proving Jodi Arias was telling the truth when she said Travis Alexander was a pedophile and abuser by analyzing an interview with Arias brother Carl and two affidavits from a man who knew Travis Alexander and a man who knew Bobby Juarez, Jodi Arias and her brother. Carl verified Arias story that their father was violent and beat them with belts and his friend said he witnessed Carl being thrown against a refrigerator by his father. He also said Bobby Juarez confessed to him that he hit and strangled Arias and said Arias was a battered woman. Marc McGee said in his sworn statement that he witnessed Travis beating Deanna Reid and Travis confessed to him that he had been molested as a child and was addicted to child porn. Geffner says that proves Jodi Arias is telling the truth.
When Arias was acting as her own attorney, she convinced her brother, his friend and Marc McGee to lie for her. She also convinced Bryan Neumeister to lie and say there was child porn on Alexander’s computer so it would look like she was telling the truth when she said Alexander was looking at child porn.
Of course with his rebuttal witnesses, Martinez proved that there was no child porn on the Bishop’s or Travis Alexander’s computer and that Deanna Reid didn’t even know Marc McGee and was out of the country when he claims he saw Travis beat her and that Arias told the psychologists she was not abused as a child and her parents did not use drugs.
So Arias devious plot to destroy Alexander’s good name and prove she is not a liar was a massive fail.
Her goal in allocation is to make sure she gets a life sentence so she can be in general population and weave her tale of deception to the other inmates. She needs to talk and manipulate and be the center of attention and she cannot do that if she is confined to death row where she is isolated from people for 23 hours a day and has very limited contact to the outside world.
The isolation will kill Jodi Arias faster than a needle. She thrives on manipulating other people with her tweeting, blogging, writing and telephoning lies about who she is and what she did.
