I have to add though, I was so wrong with Casey's trial.

The timeline you posted a few pages back, I don't know I think the average person could see the look of shock on his face then the pleading in his face, I could...I believe she taunted him with a gun pointed at him while in the shower, he never believed she would do it. But she is OJ and Casey....and so many other unpublicized people, I just hope she goes down for the count, she is a cold calculating, evil woman...through and through..

Personally, I can't see how they could face his family with anything less than premeditated

Don't know why this brought this out of me I rarely ever speak of this...But I hope for his families sake she gets at the least...life....

You are truly an amazing woman! Sending big hugs!

I hope this isn't a big disappointment and folks in Arizona know a cold-blooded killer when they see one and hit her with 1st degree murder. But I doubt it - just hope at least it's second-degree felony murder at least. If this jury gives this young and fairly attractive woman murder in the first, I'll be truly impressed with those 12 people. So few young, attractive "celebrity" types ever seem to get a tough decision by today's juries. Wouldn't it be great if this jury starts changing that where the evidence is so overpowering?

[Amazing Yorkies]

OMG! If this ends like Casey Anthony, I give up!
HLN has made this a circus, although I did keep up with the trial. Praying for a verdict she deserves.

Oh wow, I missed your reply, I'm so sorry this happened to your family, but you really are an amazing woman and what strength you showed. I'm sure your words has helped that man become a better person.

GUILTY in the first degree!!!!!!!!

[yorkietalkjilly]

I was certain Jodi said no jury would convict her! Could she have possibly been wrong??? Seems so, Jodi. Well, at least in AZ, you don't slaughter a man and walk! Thank goodness for that jury!!!

[CaliMomma]

True Justice prevailed in this case..........

[EarthAngel]

Thank God they got it right!

[yorkietalkjilly]

I muted the sound, hide the crawl on the bottom of my screen and just watched her face. Wasn't hard to tell what the verdict was by that expression after a few seconds. Uh oh - Jodi ran into some people she couldn't scam. I'm so pleasantly surprised and feel there is hope for our justice system now. Proud of Arizona and I'll bet this true verdict helps the taxpayers gag down that expense of prosecuting her a whole lot easier.

Finally proud of our justice system.. I lost hope after Casey Anthony. At the very least should have gotten endangering a child by not reporting her missing. But should have been found guilty!
Thank God this jury got it right!

Yes, I agree, I really lost faith in the justice system with that case, I now feel much better about it!
