I was reading that motion Jodi filed to be charged with second degree murder instad of going to trial.
In addition to the facts listed above Ms. Arias also pointed out to the state that in; State vs Bailey White and State vs Dwight Wesely Ms. White stabbed her boyfriend once in the chest during an argument, she was charged with second degree murder and was offered a plea to manslaughter as a dangerous offense and was sentenced to 12 years. Mr. Wesley stabs his wife several times and drives her body to the Phoenix Police Department and he gets charged with second degree murder and it appears that he plead to the court. Certainly these cases are not identical to the facts that surround this case to be fair some are more favorable to Ms. Arias and some are less favorable, however, these cases are similar in many ways and are illustrative of the sort of outcome that should come out of this case.
How can Jodi's case be more favorable than those cases? The man obviously either had remorse or was okay with taking responsbility for killing his wife because he took her to the police station, where he was arrested and admitted to the killing. http://www.wltx.com/news/article/86906/0/Arizona-Man-Dwight-Wesley-Brings-Dead-Wife-to-Police-
Baylee White stabbed her boyfriend ONCE...not 29 times. Does Nurmi really believe that because of these two examples, Jodi should get a lesser sentence? All she has done since day one is lie. Lie lie lie lie. And I think the lack of remorse is a huge thing. Real battered women may not regret what they've done, or have remorse, but they're also not sitting in interrogation saying "Oh I love him so much. I loved being around him. He was wonderful to me"
Suppose I better get ready for the day.
