Jodie Arias wanting the Death Penalty

I don't think that she will receive the death penalty because even though Arizona does have people who are waiting to be executed she didn't have a record before so we know she doesn't have a history of being a criminal. Yeah what she did was wrong but not enough to execute her. I believe Jodi was abused by this man and had years of abuse she held it in so long that she reacted when her ex abused her. People say she was manipulated ummm do you have a degree in psychology. I can't believe that the Arizona officials would do anything and they are racist to accuse an innocent person of killing she needs help not prison.

Killer Women

It is harsh to pinpoint why women kill but there are several reasons why they do. It can be from years of abuse starting from infantry or abuse from their spouse. Most of the killings that women do involves their husbands. Even though some are mental some may be greed. It has been said that women would kill for money if they believe that it would take care of them forever. Without thinking of the consequence they are willing to kill to get what they want. Women who were abused some might had professional help and others might have not shown signs until they are abused again. There are a lot of shows that show why women kill I mean it is ridiculous it's making women look bad making guys think twice before putting a ring on a woman's finger.
