I am naturally a very shy person and uncomfortable with attention. I never responded to any requests from the media for interviews. In the end, there were many victims as a result of this tragedy, including the loss of my daughter. I dealt with the attention by the comfort and support of my family and friends. Many of the stages we knew nothing about, and because we were dependent on public defenders, often parts of the trial were not explained to us, including motions, jury selection, and alleged prosecutorial misconduct.
I do believe in mercy, but I do not believe it is always applied fairly in the judicial system. I would encourage mothers, or any family members, to be supportive and let them know that you care about them. No matter what. I believe that love should be unconditional. For me, this experience has been the ultimate test of mother love.
I am a mom—just like any other mom. I did the best job I could raising my children. My mother once said to me that parenting ends at a certain age, and beyond that, children act of their own accord.
Always, unconditionally, for the rest of her life. Tumblr theme by Theme Anorak. This interview is the first time Sandy Arias has spoken publicly about her daughter Jodi Arias. Question: How is your life going after dedicating a year and a half to attending two trials every day over 1, miles from your home? Marital Status. Husband Name. Favorites Things. Favorite Food. Favorite Actor. Favorite Color. Favorite Destination. Not Known. Age, Height, Weight.
Source of Income. Net Worth. I would still call it murder, but it is very exceptional to see this scale of violence, from a girl with no record.
It is just very odd. Too much technological evidence for her to have ever gotten off….. Amazing interview, Dori. How did you manage to get this interview? What I find the most fascinating is observing these individuals, whom have been considered monsters, in the media, as human. Kate, I agree completely. I pray everyone can find healing and peace. Thank you for your comment—D. It is obvious that she killed him, but after reading the analysis of an expert knife fighter, GOOGLE Herr Speights, Jodi Arias Innocent , I have reasonable doubts as to whether she was frantically stabbing a big guy high on drugs who was at that moment, a danger to her life, or not.
If you draw an equilateral triangle, label one side murder, the second side manslaughter, and the third side, self-defense, and then you look at the evidence, you cannot place it definitively on one line.
It is somewhere inside the triangle. She is capable of deception and is no angel, but her character is not on trial. I am convinced she is guilty, that much is obvious. However her family have done nothing wrong and understandably defend her. When you love someone you can be blind to their faults no matter how large they are.
So shame on anyone online who has bullied the family. They are suffering too. But they do suffer. They did not murder anyone, the only person responsible for this was Jodi. Not her family or anyone else. I have nothing but compassion for both families in this sad horrendous case. Our replies are becoming one word lines, LOL.
Follow me on Twitter, LOL…. Dont worry, I had zero inclination to go anywhere near either of those senseless murder of trees lol. This idea that a defense attorney whose client is on trial for her life held him captive and powerless to escape is ABSURD. His job is to act on her behalf where she is powerless to to act for herself. I read Iceman a ways back, about the famous mob assassin.
It was really good however it left me feeling somewhat hollow afterwards. Seeing things through that guys eyes was almost too bleak an experience for me.
Its a testament to how great its written, there was simply nothing life affirming for me from the experience. Have you read it? Excellent library, Gerald! Looks great. I was young and had just moved to LA. Big mistake! I was petrified for weeks. Save your money.
It was a self-published revenge piece on how horrible Jodi and her family are. Now Baez had something to say….. I do have a fairly new interesting book. Good read. You should follow me on Twitter. You will LOVE it! Thats an understatement for sure Carol, that we are having to have these conversations in is absolutely appalling. I dont know what it says about humanity currently but it disturbs me to no end.
Can you imagine gathering the great philosophers of history like Plato and Socrates, showing them the internet followed by how people have chosen to express themselves with it?! They would be speechless to say the least….. Theres that interest in understanding the person involved, personal interest pieces like yours give us a window into people as human beings the statistics alone cant.
Nancy Grace type pitchfork mob media desensitized the public en masse to the human element, we need as many voices as possible countering that. The gross situation with the media is laid bare as well as the unethical ways our prosecutors are behaving unchecked. Baez personal story is also very inspiring, there are still honest people out there. Have you read either of those?
Anyone reading this I cannot urge you to read those two books enough, check em out! You are so right, Carol. I see it, too. I will definitely pass on your kind words to Sandy and Sue.
I would love for you to read my first essay in this series and hear your take on it. When you look under columns, be sure to check out other authors. Thank you for the kind words, I realized awhile ago I needed to divorce myself somewhat from social media for all the reasons you stated. I found myself constantly angry at the state of media and lack of perspective so many people have online. I have to believe there are plenty of people out there with reason, empathy, and dimensional thinking akin to my own that likely avoid social media and the plethora of negative aspects that consumes it.
I followed jodis case as well as other high profile stories like many other people and these tragedies tend to create a desire to understand. Ironically we live in a time of unprecedented advancement in communication while regressing in our ability to have discourses of true value on subjects. It constantly baffles me how we live in the first time in human history where everyone literally has access to the sum total of all human knowledge via the internet at their finger tips.
You would never think that seeing peoples typical en masse proclivity towards witch hunts and mob mentality currently. Its just another creation whose value is defined by how people choose to use it. I cant pinpoint what exactly made it work so well, I simply know I finished it with a feeling of greater insight into the human element of this story. Thats how we grow and evolve as the human race in my opinion, and I feel fortunate to have discovered this site.
The internet is slightly brighter to my eyes for it today! My goodness, Gerald. You may be one of the few people who understood the intent of this piece. Absolutely it was intended as human interest. Salacious crime and trial details have been seriously overwritten by zealots on both sides who do not know any of the people involved.
It brings to mind ancient, bloodthirsty battles of Christian persecution. I have never understood the fascination, nor do I follow any of the social media fervor. No more, no less. The case earned a place in the true crime cannon thanks to the bizarre details that surrounded the murder. Arias originally claimed she had nothing to do with crime, but overwhelming physical evidence forced her to confess.
Ultimately, Arias claimed that Alexander was physically, emotionally, and sexually abusive. Friends testified in Alexander's defense, claiming that Arias stalked him and harassed him for months before the murder. To make a long story short, Arias was convicted of first-degree murder and is currently serving her sentence in Arizona, per Parade.
According to the outlet, "Arias was up for the death penalty, but after two mistrials, a judge sentenced Arias to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
