Lacey Spears: Life In Prison

For the offender the only factor that affected her criminal behaviour was self-interest. Whether she followed the victim to murder or not, to some extent she wanted to extract some form of revenge. This was confirmed during the trial when the passenger who was in the car with the offender said “She was sick of them” and followed them as a means of teaching them a lesson. The offender’s defence relied on proving that at the time of the incident the factors affecting her were psychological and that her actions were uncontrollable due to her consumption of alcohol and her use of cannabis, heroin and valium in combination with her bipolar disorder. However this was dismissed upon the testimony of Susan Pullman, a neuropsychologist who proved that the offender was not experiencing mania at the time of the incident.

Giving the evidence of the crime, Lacey wasn’t mentally stable, to go into a home where you were taken in by a family and shoot your girlfriend in the head for no reason, shows that he should have been evaluated after they found out that his sister was abusing him and that he had a rough home. Someone should have given him the time of treatment and counseling, but he wasn’t. Not saying that it justifies what he had done, there just obviously shows that he wasn’t

Bridge- Jodi Arias brutally killed her boyfriend travis Alexander. While on trial she made outrageous claims. Still, she manages to charm, captivate, and and horrify the country. This odd fascination with Jodi was somewhat of a Norman bates effect; you know what she did was wrong, but she was bewitching, even magnetizing at times.

She should not care about what people think of her. She should be repenting on her mistakes and apologize to everyone she hurt. She should be remembering memories of her two beautiful sons.

She should be regretting that she did not receive the death penalty because she cannot bear to live with the guilt of what she did. She is a cold blood murderer. Even after all these years, she still has not shown one bit of remorse for what she has

We, the Jury, find the defendant, Delia Jones, guilty of voluntary manslaughter; the defendant proves guilty of many aspects of this murder charge. The defendant claims to have been provoked prior to her actions, telling of how her merciless husband traumatized her through the vicious rattle snake attacking her after being staged, by her husband, in her laundry basket for her to return to. The murder of her husband, Sykes Jones, involves an extended period of time between the initial provocation, Delia discovering the snake that was intended to kill her, and his death. She had many reasons to murder her husband, but none of them justify or rationalize intentionally taking another human life.
