"I'm just attracted to dangerous women. I must have a hole in my head."
I wonder if these were anyone's last words.

Jodi Arias verdict
- Thread starter venomballistics
- Start date
Regardless of your opinion on her or her case, I think we can all agree that she is the poster child of defense attorney's the world over:
She serves as an excellent example of what happens when you don't keep your mouth shut in front of the police and the world. She wasn't convicted because she killed an innocent man (four times); she was convicted because of her mouth.

Yep. I'm getting really tired of hearing how "smart" this girl is. Sure, she can string words into a coherent sentence and occasionally throws a 50 cent word in there, but that doesn't make her a genius.
It was her overinflated sense of her own smarts that got her a murder one conviction. Like most narcissists she thought she was smarter than everybody else but she isn't bright enough to realize that it was her own attempts at manipulation that sunk her. The body hadn't even been discovered and she was calling everybody she knew talking about him like he was still alive--it didn't occur to her that that wasn't a very slick way to look innocent.
She's still trying to manipulate (with the after verdict interview) and they have to mollycoddle her because the trial is really not over. She's not bright enough to realize that her bluff has been called and the only reason she's getting away with it now is because it's a high profile capital case and the court has to be very careful. She certainly isn't doing herself any favors by continuing the behavior that put her in this spot to begin with.
I'm interested in cases like this because I have personal experience with people like her and find it fascinating that they can wreck as many lives as they do. Of course it's not always by butchering somebody like she did.

I agree with all you said - very good summary and reflects what I think got her charged and convicted with Murder One. If she had just been even slightly honest and said, at the beginning, "I snapped", she might have been charged and convicted of only manslaughter.
As far as the bolded part: I think one reason my wife obsessed with this trial is that JA acts a lot like one of my wife's sisters - or vice versa - less the murdering/killing/slitting the throat thing. Her sister is drop dead gorgeous, but .... the mental thing is pretty bad to see.... I shouldn't say anymore.....

Arias overestimated her intelligence, a common fault among sociopaths.
