“Hate, the Oxycontin of Women in Social Media” [Pitchforks]

Check out this excerpt from the excellent “Pitchforks” blog – the latest post being titled “Hate, the Oxycontin of Women in Social Media.”

“There is, in social media, a particularly venomous hatred of Jodi Arias that is expressed by women. Indeed, most of the intense, negative emotional feelings towards Arias, and other high-profile female defendants, posted on blogs is by women. The excessive and indulgent hatred is often accompanied by expressions of exaggerated joy if the defendant is caught out, or at the thought of what punishment should or will befall her.

This unhealthy combination of hate and joy is like a drug that not only dulls pain, but if used in excess slowly and insidiously becomes an addiction. Though some men express similarly strong emotions on social media threads, it is noticeable that the vast majority of the most vengeful and perversely enjoyed comments are from women.

Others have expressed the view that such female hatred towards another woman is in part a reflection of deep-seated resentment or jealousy, a kind of inverted snobbery against someone who is bright, articulate and confident, who also happens to be very physically attractive.

This perspective holds that the inordinate amount of loathing and ecstasy spewed by many women with regard to women defendants with whom they have had no direct or indirect dealings themselves perhaps indicates unresolved insecurities and emotional issues in the hating women’s own lives, rather than appropriately proportional inter-relational reactions to another human being. Insecurity and hate certainly often breed unwholesome glee when a person one feels threatened by is brought down with a resounding crash – if one can assist in that demise, even vicariously, the relish is all the more delicious.

The backlash to these observations is equally vociferous, protesting that such a perspective is outrageous, preposterous and “shallow”, but the focus of these protests is wrong-headed. They decry a perspective that attempts to invalidate their conviction that Arias, or other defendants they have internally condemned, is “guilty as sin”, and accuse the observers of themselves being “sick” and too stupid to see the “evidence” for what it is because they have “drunk the lying bitch’s Kool-Aid”.

Such responses to observations that women’s hate for Arias et. al. perhaps hint at the haters’ own insecurities…”

Vladimir Gagic – Jodi Arias live radio show reminder

Published on

.

So after a 2-day trial week, finished off with an awesome testimony from Dr Richard Samuels… it’s no wonder the feeble minded TravisTown Pedo-Huggers (and other timid souls) are hanging their heads in shame & running for cover. They are losers. They should be used to losing. It’s all they’ve ever done. It’s all they ever will do. Nothing changes. It’s programmed into their DNA.

Following on from that…

Vladimir Gagic will be hosting another live online radio program (via Blogtalkradio) today, Friday 3/15 @ at 1:00 PM AZ/Pacific Time – this weeks subject being: “Why the Felony Murder Allegation against Jodi Arias is Nonsense“.

Click here (or click the link below) to listen in to the program. You can also call in & ask questions during the live show @ (718) 305-6376.

Here’s an excerpt from Vladimir’s latest post – “Why the Felony Murder Allegation against Jodi Arias is Nonsense”:

“The prosecutor does not allege Ms. Arias entered into Travis Alexander’s home with the intent to kill him or commit any felony, for that matter, at the moment of entry. How could he when all the evidence shows Mr. Alexander invited Ms. Arias into his house? The evidence is clear she spent at least 8 hours in his house, and during that time together they had sex multiple times.

Instead, the prosecutor’s argument is that felony murder applies because at some point Mr. Alexander revoked permission from Ms. Arias to be in his house, and at that point, she was “remaining unlawfully in… a residential structure”. This is where things get quite silly for the government’s felony murder allegation: if in fact at some point Jodi Arias was still in Mr. Alexander’s house without his permission (we can call that point T1), what felony was Ms. Arias’ intending to commit at T1? If she was intending to kill him at T1, then that would be the exact same thing as count one, murder in the first degree intent to kill, premeditated murder.

The defense filed a motion to dismiss the felony murder charge, stating quite correctly the allegation makes no sense. In response, Judge Stephens ruled Ms. Arias’ intent at T1 could have been assault, not intent to kill Mr. Alexander. I believe that ruling is in error because of something called the merger rule. To count any death that occurred during the course of an assault as felony murder would obliterate the distinction between assault and murder. And even more importantly, there would be no distinction between second degree depraved indifference murder and first degree intent to kill murder…”

Jodi Arias Trial – Day 31

Kudos to Jodi for standing her ground yesterday, and doing an awesome job as always. Not withstanding his ongoing temper tantrums, his wayward Book of Mormon misquotes and his intermittent hearing problems, Jodi once again showed the little guy up for the piss poor excuse of a prosecutor he really is.

Reminds me of one of my earlier posts – “Prosecutor Fail – the long and the short of it…“, which I’d recommend you read if you haven’t already. I think that was the same post where I quoted from his bio, and stated he was the seventh of eight children born to illiterate Mexican farm workers. I also inadvertently upset 3 illiterate Mexican farm workers in the process… but hey, these things happen. It wasn’t intentional.

Remember — WE ARE TEAM JODI… and WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS.

Never question it.

Never doubt it.

Jodi Arias: Has the Government proven Murder One?

Jodi Arias: Has the Government proven Murder One?

As far as I am concerned, the only issue in the Jodi Arias trial is has the government proven premeditation. That of course, is important because if the government has not proven premeditation, they cannot convict her of murder in the first degree and thus the death penalty is off the table. And while the government has also alleged murder in the first degree by way of felony-murder, that allegation is so specious as not to even warrant a response.

The government has not proven premeditation, and in fact, could not do so under any circumstances. Without direct evidence, either a confession by Ms. Arias that she intended to kill Mr. Alexander, as in “I wanted to kill to him”, or an overt act such as hiring a hit man or waiting in wait in ambush, the government cannot prove premeditation beyond a reasonable doubt. Note that I am not saying she did not intend to kill him or that there is not very good reason to suspect that she intended to kill him, just that the government will not be able to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. And that has been clear since day one. Someone asked me on twitter a question along the lines of “she lied so she doesn’t get the death penalty?”. My answer, yes, exactly right. To paraphrase Lt. Kaffee from a “Few Good Men”, it doesn’t matter what we know; it only matters what we can prove.

Instead of proving premeditation with direct evidence, the government is trying to do so with circumstantial evidence. So far the attempt has been, with the most charitable interpretation possible, pathetic. While the law does not recognize a distinction between direct and circumstantial evidence, there is a jury instruction that says exactly that, the inference the government wishes the jury to draw from the circumstantial evidence is, dare I say, comically lacking.

If they could have proven the gun that Ms. Arias used to shoot Mr. Alexander was in fact stolen by Ms. Arias then that would be very good evidence of premeditation. But they have not done so; nor are is the government able to do so. On cross examination, the government has asked her number of questions regarding gas cans. This could be fruitful to the government’s allegation of premeditation, but the prosecution has not closed the loop on this point.

In particular, my assumption is that there trying to prove Ms. Arias used gas cans to avoid being seen in Arizona at a gas station by either a witness or cameras. That, if true, would show planning of at least something. So why then didn’t Mr. Prosecutor flat out ask Mr. Arias if that was her intent? Instead, he avoided asking her that question because of one thing: fear. Mr. Prosecutor is afraid she will have an answer for the question and the jury will believe her. So he is instead doing what trial lawyers have been trained to do, save the ultimate question for closing argument when the other side has no chance to contradict your argument.

Under all circumstances, such a approach is cowardly and craven…
