I have a friend who had 3 bad marriages, one to an alcoholic, one to a real wife abuser, and the third was an alcoholic-wife beater-car and riding lawn mower convicted thief. She swore she'd never get married again, but she moved in with the next man she dated. He was good to her, a good, decent man, not a drinker, was tender-hearted, took her back and forth to see her 3 children in prisons (each one took after their 'bad boy daddies'), and still she kept telling me, "I'll never marry again. THEY CHANGE AFTER THEY GET MARRIED."
I finally started telling her, each time she said that, "You know that is not true...you wanted the 'bad boys' and bad boys make bad husbands!" One day she surprised me by calling to invite me to her wedding! I told her, "Hold on...I've gotta go sit down. I thought you invited me to your wedding."
She said, "You are right, and I got tired of hearing you say that in my head before I'd go to sleep each night. I've admitted to myself that I hunted the bad boys and I paid the price and my children paid the price. I've found a good man, and I'm finally accepting his marriage proposal." That was about 6 years ago...she is battling ALS now, a terrible terminal illness, and her husband is tenderly caring for her and loving her till the end.
If Juror #17 seeks out 'bad boy' husbands, she will pay the price eventually. Just as my friend did. You can't trust those 'bad boys'.
Likewise, Jodi Arias is the female version of those 'bad boys'. Her followers are like my friend, they'll defend her to the max, because of her 'bad boy' image that she bragged about for 18 long days on the stand, taking up an entire month of her trial. She was proud of the image she was portraying on that stand, while we saw her only as a serial slut who went for the 'benefits' and certainly could not be trusted. Still can't be trusted. I'm telling you, she's the female version of the 'bad boys'.
