Usually I love true crime stories to figure out either who done it, how they done it, and why they done it. This one was easy to determine all that, but I'm just fascinated watching Arias lie on the fly and mimic human emotions. It's like watching some strange animal you've never seen before at the zoo only a million times more interesting. And of course the ridiculous "expert" witnesses were a hoot. Even the defense attorneys are bizarre... Nurmi with his flashy attire, melting in his chair like it's a Barcalounger and constantly digging for gold in his nostrils in court, and Wilmott with her cocaine infused rushing Minnie Mouse voice, painted on skirts and always looking like she's about to have a meltdown or a seizure.

I've never seen a trial with more craziness and more sidebars than trial. The phrase "may we approach" should be forever stricken from the English language.

Thank goodness for a few good people putting up each day's testimony on YouTube so I could watch the whole trial at my leisure.
