Arias has no idea of how most people perceive her. She lives in her own reality - it's far easier than facing her reality.
I'll tell you I'd rather get the needle than live in a cell for 25 years or more. I could not take that life. There is NOTHING to do but the same, same, same nothing stuff day after day. I saw that tiny cell she's now living in in isolation and I'd go mad as a hatter in something like that inside a week. In prison, she'll get a slightly bigger one but there's no space or furniture or color or life there. The window is high up and you can't even see through most of them! It's nothingness. I marvel at how people make it for years and years. I couldn't do it.
