True Crime

From all accounts she threw herself at him and used sex to try to keep him. He was never dishonest with her... she knew about other women he dated. When he finally decided to end the relationship he told her, but she was having none of it. First thing she did she moved to Mesa just a few blocks from him and starts stalking him. His friends have a lot of stories about how she would sneak into his house through the doggie door and be found sleeping in his bed or on the sofa and even hiding in his closet, show up uninvited to various get-togethers at his house and refuse to leave, started peeking in his windows, threatening any other woman she even thought he might be dating, slashed his car tires as well as those of one woman he was dating, sneak into his email, phone and even hacked into his facebook, etc. His mistake was still letting her talk him into having sex with her while all this was going on. But it was HER that was throwing herself at him knowing that any of the nice Mormon women he was dating weren't having any kind of sex with him. She used sex to try to keep him, and unfortunately for him he was unable to refuse it. You can't claim to be used when you sexually throw yourself at someone and they accept it particularly when you've been stalking them and they have to worry about what you might do next by refusing your sexual advances.

It was Jodi's idea to drag Travis's reputation through the mud as a threat when the prosecution refused to make a deal for her for murder 2. The defense filed a motion that if the prosecution didn't accept the plea deal they wanted then they would trash Travis's reputation in court, and wouldn't that be oh so terrible for his family to endure. Not that her defense counsel had any problem with that. These days it's popular to blame the victim. That motion was a really gross threatening read.

I first got interested in this case when the first 48 Hours episode about her came out when she was still doing the intruder story. Immediately I knew she was full of crap, and she scared the shit out of me like no other criminal has. The more I've watched her the more she totally freaks me out.
