This is why Juror No. 17 should never have been on the jury.
She was a victim of domestic violence and married two convicted felons.
Juror No. 17 married her first husband AFTER he was sentenced to prison for committing a crime and her second husband four years AFTER he got out of prison.
Victims of domestic violence deaden their feelings and go into denial and minimize their injuries and make excuses for the abuser. When their husband breaks their ribs or gives them a black eye, they tell themselves: “It isn’t that bad. It could be worse. At least he didn’t kill me. And I know he didn’t mean to hurt me. He loves me.” Even though they are throbbing in pain, they feel sorry for their abuser when he cries and says he is sorry and will never do it again.
Women who marry convicted felons sympathize with the felons, not the victims of crime. Juror No. 17 believes it is normal to commit a crime. That’s why Juror No. 17 saw Jodi Arias as normal and was not shocked by the gruesome murder she committed.
The autopsy pictures of Travis Alexander’s bloated body riddled with stab wounds shocked and sickened the eleven other jurors so that they had nightmares and were sobbing because they felt empathy and sympathy for Travis Alexander, his family and friends.
Juror No. 17 didn’t care about the victim or his family. She felt sorry for the cold blooded murderer. Because domestic violence victims deaden their feelings and sympathize with the abuser, Juror No. 17 saw Jodi couldn’t help what she did because of her psychological makeup and should not be put to death for it.
I think that even prosecutors and judges don’t realize that felons and those who marry felons see the criminal community as their family and Juror No. 17 could never sentence a family member to death.
I don’t believe what was posted on the Juan Martinez support page:
"If it helps any at all, I can tell you this. One of our very own posters has a daughter sitting in Perryville. They are eagerly anticipating Jodis arrival. They are pissed that she thinks she is above everyone. I heard allegedly, they are going to show her that NO ONE is going to walk around Perryville like they are better than anyone else. Jodi is going to learn right off bat these women don't play the game."
Someone made it up to make everyone feel better that Arias isn’t getting the death sentence.
The reality is in women’s prisons, the felons bond because they all feel they were wrongly convicted and it is them against law enforcement. They become a sisterhood.
Here's a video of one of the jurors reacting to learning that Juan Martinez prosecuted Juror No. 17s husband.
