RSSFollowing 1st Degree Premeditated Murder Verdict, Jodi Arias Says in an Interview … She Wants Death, “Prefer to Die Sooner Than Later”
LIVE OR DIE … WHAT WILL THE JURY DECIDE?
The jury who handed down the verdict yesterday to Jodi Arias of first degree, premeditated murder of Travis Alexander will be back in the court room today deciding whether she lives or dies. The brutality of the murder was heinous. Alexander was stabbed and slashed nearly 30 times, shot in the forehead and had slit his throat from ear to ear. One would have to think that he did not die quickly, which was also the testimony from the Maricopa County Medical Examiner. In an interview with Fox affiliate KSA, following the first degree murder verdict, Jodi Arias said, ”I prefer to die sooner than later.”
Arias is manipulative to the end. I am at a loss for words that a convicted felon who has yet to be sentenced is allowed to do a TV interview following a verdict. Does a just give Jodi her wish of death or do they make her suffer by living? Of course that is whether Arias was actually telling the truth?
Arias spoke out about the verdict minutes after her conviction Wednesday, telling a TV station that she would “prefer to die sooner than later.”
“Longevity runs in my family, and I don’t want to spend the rest of my natural life in one place,” a tearful Arias told Fox affiliate KSAZ. “I believe death is the ultimate freedom and I’d rather have my freedom as soon as I can get it.”
More from FOX News KSAZ:
“I think I just went blank… I just feel overwhelmed. I think I just need to take it a day at a time. It was unexpected for me… There was no premeditation on my part.”
“The worst outcome for me would be natural life… Longevity runs in my family, and I don’t want to spend the rest of my natural life in one place. I said years ago I’d rather get death than life and that still is true today. I believe death is the ultimate freedom, so I’d rather just have my freedom as soon as I can get it.”
“I think the way everything happened, if I had just been honest from the beginning I would be in a different place and so would everyone else. And because of what I’ve done a lot of people will hurt for a long time.”

Probably the only portion of Jodi’s statement that was truthful was the long life in her family.
This woman is a manipulator at all times. She is always looking for an advantage for her. If she cannot secure an advantage, then she will make those around her miserable by her acts.
She wants freedom….Alexander definitely wanted his freedom but she wouldn’t stay away, leave him alone and allow him to continue on with his life.
Delay in he mini trial another maneuver on her part, I’m sure the jury along with the general public would like this to be over but now she has caused more grief. Hopefully the judge along with the jury and Travis’s family can have a get-away for peace, prayer and maybe some relaxation.
Keep her locked in her cell, stay away from her, cancel the suicide watch and give her a knife, she’ll know what to do with it!!!!! Sorry, but she is not deserving of anything else.
Three women on death row in Arizona….One for killing her little son telling him they were going to see Sana Claus, instead she took him into the desert killed him and left him there, the other tried to poison her husband dying of cancer, when that didn’t work she beat him and killed with a bar stool, the third tried to burglarize a home for drug money and when money wasn’t available she shot and killed the father and daughter.
[...] when Jodi Arias in a jail house interview stated that she preferred death and to die sooner, rather than later? Looks like some one is backtracking on her death wish. But of course that is par for the course [...]
