Everyone wants to be loved. Whether it’s loved by a million
friends and family or just loved by someone who they would consider a partner
in life. Everyone craves it. Love can also make you do crazy, unimaginable things.
There are so many new stories you hear in the news of a “super-mother” that
picked up a car to save her child who was stuck underneath or the “man-mermaid”
that held his breath for minutes on end to save his son from drowning in a
frozen lake. Unfortunately, love doesn’t just make you do wonderful things to
help people, sometimes the unimaginable things turn evil and nasty.
In the Jodi Arias Trial, she had murdered and stabbed her
former boyfriend about 27 times, slit his throat and shot him in his own home. She
had brutally tortured him and eventually took his life. There was such a
spectacle throughout the trial that made people wonder if she was a cold blooded
killer or a victim of domestic abuse, which is what she claimed was the reason
for killing him. A case like this is hard for some people to compensate because
how could someone actually stab and kill someone they once loved? Due to the
crazy things love can do so many people took sides in this case. Love has been
known to make people jealous or lash out at someone you love, so it was
questionable as to what really happened inside that house that night. Because
everyone knows how it feels to be hurt by a breakup or be a victim of domestic
abuse so many people could relate to how feelings could alter someone’s ability
to make rational decisions. With everyone being able to relate to the feelings
or love and loss, so many opinions were expressed by the public.
The longer the trial went on more and more information came
out. The information that came out made people think about what actually could
happen. The evidence that the investigators found out made Jodi Arias only look
more like a cold blood killer. After all, if it had been a domestic violence
case, why would you stab him 27 times, slit his throat and then shoot him? If
it was only for her own protection and she had still loved her boyfriend, why
did she stab him so many times and then proceed to shot him? If she loved him,
wouldn’t she want to hurt him to get her point across, and not end up killing
him in the end?
i Agree from the beginning of the case til the later stages the view of Jodi Arias definitely changed in the eye of the public and for good reason. Once more investigation went into the case and the information was released she did seem more of a cold blooded killer rather than a person who was just defending themselves
ReplyDeleteThe idea that love can make you do crazy things is something I believe we have all come to terms with. Personally I believe the amount of discrepancies in Arias's story lead to her eventual guilty conviction, but you bring a good point to the table about the amount of wounds inflicted. If the person you loved was abusing you, and you truly did love them, then the type of mutilation that had occurred to his body wouldn't have happened.
