The jury in the Jodi Arias death penalty case could not reach a unanimous verdict on whether this slasher deserves life or death for slaughtering her lover Travis Alexander and leaving his body to rot in a blood splattered shower.

While many people are upset that there was not a verdict today, I am witnessing a lot of ignorance on social media directed at the Jodi Arias jury. For all of you hoping for the death penalty, that are bashing this jury, remember there were holdouts that were obviously pro death penalty and they stood their ground till the end.

Furthermore, this jury did have the guts to convict her, unlike in the Casey Anthony case. While we are all devastated that the Alexander family has to endure more of this, cut this jury some slack. At the very least, take comfort in the fact that Jodi Arias will be behind bars. She isn’t going anywhere.

I’m not a huge fan of the death penalty. I don’t like to think of the possibility that someone innocent could be executed.  People point out how our system screws up by letting obviously guilty defendants like Casey Anthony and OJ Simpson walk free, we’ve also heard the stories of those exonerated through DNA being released after serving decades behind bars.

I also don’t like the fact that black defendants are more likely to get the death penalty than white defendants. It’s not so much that I’m against the death penalty, it’s that I believe in fairness and I don’t think the way we administer it in the United States is always fair.

However, Jodi Arias has admitted she killed Travis. There is no question regarding her guilt. So in this case it isn’t like an innocent person convicted on a circumstantial case is going to be executed.

She also stabbed her victim Travis Alexander nearly 30 times, she slashed his throat, and she shot him. The medical examiner says that the stabs came first. Crime scene photographs also show blood of the victim in his sink. Which means he was standing over his sink spitting up blood. It was obviously a very painful death.

Alexander had defensive stab wounds on his hand, which means he was attempting to shield himself from Arias stabbing him. His windpipe had been slashed. She punctured a vein going to his heart. The crime scene photographs look like something out of a horror movie.

She planned this murder and then lied about it multiple times to law enforcement. If there is someone who deserves the death penalty, it would be Arias. Just because she is young, a female, and because some (not me) may consider her attractive, doesn’t mean she should escape it. If a black male did this to his white girlfriend he would most certainly be sentenced to death.

Regardless of my problems with the death penalty, if Arias is sentenced to death I will not be shedding a tear. She is a very scary person. She was obsessed and fixated on Travis Alexander. When she discovered that he was moving on and taking another woman on a trip to Cancun, she developed a hatred of him. Her ego couldn’t take the fact that he rejected her. I think she is sadistic and purposely wanted Alexander to suffer. She is a depraved human being. She did this for revenge.

Additionally, the way she dragged his name through the mud after sadistically killing him, trying to convince the jury he was a pedophile… With no evidence to back that up, is an example of how she has absolutely no redeeming qualities. Her intent is to cause pain. Whether it was physical pain to Travis or emotional pain to his family. She relishes in making people suffer.

What do you think? Will Arias be sentenced to death? How do you feel about the death penalty as it pertains to Arias?

Hi everyone! I’m going to starting blogging on a more wide range of topics and one of them is my new journey to get more healthy and fit. I’m going to document my exercises, and meals to hopefully inspire more people to try to live a better healthy life style.

Unfortunately obesity is on the rise here in the United States and that is scary because obesity increases chances of heart disease, diabetes, and many cancers. It’s shameful that in the United States it is cheaper to purchase a bag of chips, processed meats, and sugary shit than it is to purchase lean organic meats, fruits, and veggies.

However, I think the more people get on board with a healthier lifestyle and make better food choices that can change.

I’m not a health nut by any means. Every now and then, I will enjoy chocolate chip cookies and milk, chips and dip, a steak, a diet coke or alcohol. I’ve just learned not to make them regular parts of my diet, but instead save them for special occasions. I’ve struggled with my weight. Been on fad diets, and have yo-yoed for years. Now I’m determined to quit that, and just be healthy.

For fitness I enjoy running outside when the weather is right, I also enjoy participating in spin or cycling classes at the gym or jumping rope. I’m a big cardio person. I’m not into lifting weights, because I get bored doing that easily, I’m not trying to be a body builder. However, I do kettlebell exercises that have helped build muscle.

I also avoid fad diets such as low-fat diets, low carb diets, gluten-free diets, or juice/water fasts. I eat healthy fats like olive oil, avocados, grilled, baked, or steamed fish.  Consuming healthy facts have shown to decrease body fat and eliminate bad fat from your body. I eat healthy carbs like fruits, whole wheat breads, pasta, rice, oats and quinoa. They’re a good source of fiber that aid in recovery after workouts. I also make sure I get plenty of protein from protein shakes, chicken, beans, and egg whites. Protein helps keep you full, build muscle as opposed to fat, and helps your metabolism.

So I am going to start sharing my workouts and meals here on the blog, and offer tips that have helped me. Feel free to share your tips and progress in the comments as well!

A Philadelphia abortion doctor that was convicted of first degree murder for the deaths of two babies, has agreed to waive the appeal process to avoid the death penalty. The convicted baby killer will be in prison for the rest of his life.

72-year-old Kermit Gosnell killed babies who were born alive by cutting their spinal cords with scissors. The babies that he murdered were born alive, breathing, moving, and whimpering.

He was convicted of murdering two babies in the first degree, and has one conviction of manslaughter for a third baby, as well as a conviction of manslaughter in the death of a 41-year-old female patient.

Gosnell claims he was aiding desperate women in inner city Philadelphia get late-term abortions. He considered himself a pioneer for minorities and women. However, it seems like the defense for Gosnell could be described as desperate. They accused prosecutors of being racist, and his defense team did not put up any witnesses in his defense. His own family didn’t show up in the court room to support him.

On the other hand, the prosecution had a strong case, including evidence of bags with fetuses inside them that were discovered in his clinic. There was also furniture found in the clinic with blood stains on it. Cats were also found roaming around inside, and the medical equipment was described as dirty.

The prosecution also called witnesses to the stand that testified that one baby that was murdered, was 30 weeks old when Gosnell killed it. He joked that it was big enough to “walk to the bus.”

Additionally, a clinic worker snipped the neck of another baby that was born alive and had been alive for 20 minutes. Furthermore, another clinic worker snipped the spinal cord of a child born alive and moving around in a toilet.

One baby even cried as Gosnell cut its neck. However Gosnell was found not guilty on that charge, because nobody witnessed the baby being killed.

Authorities charged Gosnell with these horrific murders after his clinic was raided in an investigation related to illegal prescription drug activity.

Jodi Arias may be able to manipulate a small group of followers who are tweeting on her behalf and helping sell her sketches and underwear on eBay. However, her lies didn’t work on a jury of 12 and she is now facing the death penalty.

Jodi Arias was convicted of first degree murder. A jury didn’t buy her outlandish story of abuse. They didn’t buy that the man that she stabbed 27 times, slashed his throat and shot in the head, was abusive towards her. They did not think she killed Travis Alexander in self-defense. There was not a shred of evidence to back up her accusations. She went so far as to accuse Alexander of being a pedophile.

Despite her accusations and character assassination of Alexander, Arias is the one who exhibited abusive behavior towards him. Slashing his tires, threatening women that he spoke with, spying on him, and sneaking into his home.

Now she faces the death penalty, and during the penalty phase, she will be allowed to take the stand once again. Will she do it? Can she resist the limelight? I doubt it. She is the first defendant in a high-profile case, I’ve ever witnessed giving interviews immediately following a conviction on first degree murder.

I expect the lies to continue to flow from her mouth.

William Murtaugh a/k/a Murt, is no stranger to the internet true crime world. He is a known troll that is banned from crime forums such as Websleuths, and InSession. Murt started blogging during the 2006 case of missing Florida child Trenton Duckett and ever since then he has been engaging in sleazy behavior. What is most disgusting about Murt is that he often uses missing and murdered children and inserts himself into their case in order to get attention.

While blogging on the Trenton Duckett case, Murt used disgusting, attention seeking antics. Murt would show up on several blogs and forums claiming that on a certain date something “big” was going to happen. He made it seem like he was close to law enforcement and had inside sources. He would even “count down” the days… Well his bombshell turned out to be a dud and nothing happened. It was just typical sleazy Murt using a missing child case to get attention.

Murt’s behavior in the Duckett case was very creepy. He claimed he knew who had Trenton Duckett and went so far as to write a letter to the person that he claimed he knew abducted the child.

Now Murt is at it again. This time he is inserting himself into the case of murdered Satsuma, Florida girl Haleigh Cummings. Murt has accused a satire blogger that resides in Atlanta, GA of abducting the child. Why? Because this blogger often publishes satirical content about him.

How disgusting is that? Using a child that law enforcement says is a murder victim, and claiming a blogger that lives in a completely different state than where the child went missing, abducted her. Murt has even tweeted the FBI office in Jacksonville asking them to investigate RadioNewz.net

This may be a game to you, but it is not a game to Haleigh’s family Murt. You have gone too far once again and are using a murdered child as a pawn in your internet drama. You are sick and disgusting and no different from John Mark Karr.

You are a troll that needs to be involuntarily committed. Get off the internet and seek psychological help, because you are in desperate need of it.

The trial of 32-year-old Jodi Arias is now over and her fate is in the hands of an Arizona jury that will continue their deliberations Monday morning. The defense team of Arias made one last effort to convince the jury that she did not plan to kill Travis Alexander.

Arias claims that she killed her lover Travis Alexander in self-defense. Arias says that while Alexander was showering she was taking photographs of him, she dropped the camera and he became angry at her and body slammed her. She says she was able to get away from him, run to his bedroom closet, grab a gun, and shoot him while he charged at her.

However, the prosecution claims she drove from Northern California where she resided with her grandparents with the intent to kill Alexander because she was furious he was taking another woman on a trip to Cancun.

Kirk Nurmi, the defense lawyer for Jodi Arias addressed the jury in his closing argument and attempted to poke holes in the case against his client. Nurmi said that his client “snapped” and killed Arias in a “heat of passion.”

Nurmi attempted to convince the jury that the nearly 30 stab wounds Jodi inflicted on Travis Alexander, the slit throat, and the gunshot wound to the head indicated that she lost her temper during a fight with Alexander and that she was a victim of domestic violence.

Furthermore, Nurmi said that the bloody crime scene, where Arias made absurd attempts at wiping away blood and disposing of evidence showed that this was not planned but that she was in a panic after killing Alexander. Nurmi characterized Jodi’s lame attempts at a clean-up as a “what-the-hell happened reaction.”

Additionally Nurmi attempted to tarnish the reputation of the victim Travis Alexander. He described Alexander as abusive. He mentioned a phone conversation that the defendant taped where Alexander complimented Arias on the sound of her orgasm, telling her she sounded like a 12-year-old girl having her first orgasm and that it was “hot.”

He also said that if Jodi planned to kill Travis all she would have to do is shoot him while he slept, not stab him 30 times, slash his throat then shoot him like the prosecution claims.

Nurmi’s arguments to the jury seemed like he was attempting to get the jury to find Arias guilty of a lesser offense of manslaughter or 2nd degree murder. Anything to keep her from going to death row.

However it seems unlikely that Nurmi can overcome the evidence of premeditation. Right before Alexander was killed, the grandparents of Arias reported a gun was stolen from the home they shared with Arias. The same type of gun that was stolen was the type used to shoot Alexander. Additionally, instead of driving her car to Arizona, Arias rented a car. Which indicates she did not want her car to be spotted in the area, at the time of the murder.

Arias also lied to cops claiming she wasn’t there, then when forensic evidence proved she was, she claimed intruders killed Alexander. Which makes her story less credible.

Prosecutor Juan Martinez gave his closing arguments in the case of 32-year-old Jodi Arias, accused of stabbing, slashing, and shooting her lover Travis Alexander. Arias claims that she killed Alexander in self-defense, however the prosecutor warned the jury not to fall for Jodi’s scams like Travis Alexander did.

Moreover, Martinez pointed out the fact that despite the attempts of Arias to portray herself as a victim that she is a victimizer and used an example of Jodi hitting her own mother. He also poked holes in her story that Alexander abused her by stating that in the summer of 2007, Jodi moved to the same state and town as Alexander. If he was abusive why was she moving closer to him?

Martinez also told the jury that Arias failed to document any of the alleged abuse she faced at the hands of Alexander in her diary.

The themes that prosecutor Juan Martinez hit home to the jury during his closing arguments is that Arias is manipulative, a liar, and that the murder of Travis Alexander was premeditated.

Martinez pointed out that despite the fact that Arias wants to portray the victim as a sexual deviant, that the tapes played in court where the two discussed sex, showed that Arias introduced new sexual positions to Alexander. Martinez claims that Arias used sex to manipulate Alexander.

Moreover, Martinez painted Arias as a jealous stalker. He pointed out how she snuck into his home, spied on him, and became angry when she watched him kiss another woman.

During the closing argument Martinez also quoted Alexander saying that Jodi Arias was the worst thing to ever happen to him. He also quoted Alexander calling Arias a sociopath.

Premeditation was also a theme that Martinez hit on during his closing argument. He pointed out that Jodi’s grandparents had reported a gun stolen from their home right before Travis was killed. The same type of gun that was stolen, was the same type used to shoot Alexander.

To further his argument of premeditation Martinez discussed how Arias rented a car to drive to Arizona to kill Alexander, and how she lied to the car rental company and told them she was only going to be driving around town.

During the closing arguments photographs of Alexander were shown that depicted the injuries he suffered at the hands of Arias. The victim’s family became emotional and started sobbing in court.

The defense is expected to give their closing arguments tomorrow. If convicted, Arias could face the death penalty.
