Today they talked about Aggravating Factors and Juan had to convince the jury that this was different than other murders in that it was crueler and Travis suffered greatly in those last 2 minutes. The jury all 12 decided that the state proved beyond a reasonable doubt that there was cruelty involved and she knowingly inflicted that pain. You need this to keep the death penalty on the table. Tomorrow will be Mitigating Factors and this is when the family will talk about how the loss of Travis has impacted their lives. Jodi’s family will also have a chance to beg for her life and Jodi will also get a chance, but she’s been saying she doesn’t want life, she want’s death, so I’m not sure if she will beg for her life. Then after that, the jury will decide, if it's life or death, but I think the judge still has a chance to soften it to life, but I don't think she will. Some say Alyce might speak during the Mitigating Factors part. That should be interesting.
