Brutal Boyfriend Murder

I recently finished watching the news on the murder case of Travis Alexander. It is a very strange case. It is believed that Jodi Arias is the murderer. There is evidence from her hand prints and blood on the bathroom shower walls, where she killed him. So the question is not whether or not she did it, but rather why did she do it? What reason did she have for murdering Travis Alexander? Or if she did not do it, why were her hand prints and blood at the scene of the murder?

It is strange because Jodi acts totally innocent, as if she does not remember anything or even that she did anything wrong. It is as though she was not aware of what she was doing or why. She still claims she is innocent, despite the obvious evidence. She claims she had no reason to harm him or kill him. She had nothing against him, no evil intentions. She quote "would never hurt him". Yet she now has three different stories telling what happened the days leading up to and on the day of the murder. She also says something about her grandfather's gun having been stolen from his home.

The other strange part is that she had more than one weapon with her. It is believed that Jodi shot Travis first, and the reason she also used a knife to kill him was because she could not get the gun to fire a second time. But why would she have planned in advance to bring a backup weapon with her? What would have made her think to do that, to think that maybe the gun would not get the job done? One would think that most people would only bring the one weapon, the gun. So this leads to other questions, such as whether or not there were other people involved in the murder, at the crime scene? Or was she maybe forced to kill Travis?

Something else I find truly bizarre is is that the other girls and roommates she lives with in jail think she should be freed from prison. They think she is an innocent girl with a big heart, that she would never have hurt her boyfriend, Travis. But if you were those other girls in prison, wouldn't freeing her be the last thing you would want for her? Wouldn't you be jealous that she would get to be freed but you would still have to live in a prison cell for who knows how many more years, if not the entire rest of your life? Her inmates think her behavior is very normal, and that nothing seems wrong with her, but they can tell she is hurt by all of this.

And the fact that some people believe the gun shot came last really confuses me because Travis was much bigger than her and you would think that Jodi would want to shoot him before stabbing her so that he could not defend himself and hurt her. You would think that because he is so big, he would have had more defensive wounds if she had stabbed him first and then shot him.

Here is a video of Jodi Arias' police interrogation.

So what do you think happened? Do you think Jodi Arias is innocent or guilty of committing the murder of her boyfriend, Travis Alexander? Or do you think she was forced to murder him and was a victim of domestic violence? I look forward to finding out more information on the murder case. We shall see what happens next.
