sentenced to LWOP.
http://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/world/jodi-arias-sentenced-to-life-in-prison-without-possibility-of-parole-1.2324233Even considering the nature of her crime I personally don't agree with LWOP. I think it's inhumane in the extreme. Still if anyone deserves it it's people like her... and it's cheaper than the death penalty too.
Hopefully this gives those affected some closure... The 7 year legal battle is over. Hopefully the victims of this atrocity can move on with their lives.
Best of luck to Jodi Arias too. It's gonna be a pretty horrific life - nobody deserves that kind of torture.
On a serious note A crime of passion that was built up into so much more by national media, I fear rubbed off on the jurors too, I don't think she would have faced the death penalty had it not been for the mourning sisters faces plastered everywhere in media heaven. Yes he was shot and stabbed, it happens every day, the suspect usually lies about doing it at first too, no big earth shattering story without the tear-streaked faces of his comely siblings is it?
We (the public) make me sick in the hyena'ish way way we will rush to a story raw with emotional pain or grief. Something good and emotional to sink our grey dead souls (or what have you) into for a few fleeting moments just long enough to turn them a shade less grey, a little more caring until we become distracted again. Just long enough for a "kill the bitch!, she should fry!" "look at those heartbroken sisters, just look at them see what she's done to them".
