Hello Websleuths! First, I want to let everyone know reading this that I do spend many hours reading everyone's thoughts, theories, researched facts on this board. After reading posts written by the websleuth community, I can only conclude that the majority of websleuth posters are highly intelligent. This high mental capacity, and, acuteness is found in the majority of posted theories - webslueth posters have the ability to diffuse, and, discern information which allows for the truth to be presented (instead of getting lost - simply due to confusion). The mental penetration of "breaking down" Arizona V. Aria (and other) cases is greatly appreciated. Thank you, websluethers, that share the rare extraordinary gift of distinctness of perception. I feel as though the above thank you is overdue. I typically have questions - regardless if my questions posted "fall" into the category of dull or complex - I am always replied to with both helpful, and, meaningful responses. Again, I greatly appreciate the intelligence, understanding, and kindness found on this board.
Now to my questions (I apologize for the long post):
Is Arias on video confessing? I have seen the police interrogation tapes of Arias describing her ordeal of hearing a ringing sound, seeing Travis laying, putting her hand on his back, seeing the male and female wearing either black or dark blue head masks that have openings for their eyes & mouths. Is there a police interrogation tape of Arias saying, "okay, there was never a male and female - I killed Travis in self defense?"
Even though I know that Arias is guilty and I feel as though deserves death - I think that had Arias never confessed it would be impossible for the state to get a conviction. This is one of the most bizarre cases I have ever followed - Travis has two roommates - yet these roommates missed such a horrific murder crime scene for days. Travis' roommates did not smell Travis' body decomposing, they did not question 'where is Travis,' and, go to his room wondering why he had not left his room in days, they did not look into the washer for days. It's bizarre to me that Travis' roommates were so clueless - especially regarding not noticing bloody items in the washer / dryer, and, failing to notice the smell of a decomposing body. The pictures taken of Travis during his murder are also bizarre - how did Arias manage to take pictures and kill Travis? Did she have the camera in her right hand while attacking him with her left hand? Physically Travis was much stronger than Arias - it shocks me that Arias didn't end up with more injuries. For me - the lack of injuries Arias suffered as she murdered Travis shows how kind Travis was. Even when Travis was being attacked by Arias he did not have it him to grab her by the throat and either choke her to death, or, break her neck. Travis did not have it in him to grab Arias and forcefully throw her head down on the hard floor.
Since it is hard for me to believe that Arias could have over powered Travis, the amount of time Travis' roommates were clueless about a dead body being in their home and their washer/dryer filled with bloody items, not understanding how pictures of the murder of Travis were taken - I think it would have been very easy for Arias to "walk" had she not confessed that she killed Travis. I think that it would have been easy to get a jury to believe, "clearly Arias is covering for someone - she does not have the strength to stab Travis 29 times, slit his throat, and then move his body into the shower - plus even if Arias would have come after Travis with a knife Travis could have restrained Arias by holding both of her wrists with one of his hands, if Arias were going to murder Arias she would not have risked murdering him in a home that he shared with roommates - Arias would have thought that the roommates would have returned catching her - Arias would not have put crime scene material in the washer/dryer to be found by the roommates - Arias would have taken it with her and disposed of it in the desert she drove by."
However, Arias did confess - so why does it seem as though this case is being treated as though Arias did not confess. I know that the prosecutor started by saying, "this is not a case of who done it," - but it seems as though this fact has gone largely unnoticed. A juror asked, "did the roommate have an alibi?" - why would this question be asked if the jury understood that Arias has stated, "yes I murdered Travis, but, it was in self defense."
Again - I believe that Arias is guilty. This is just one of the most bizarre cases I have followed. Sometimes I think that I imagined that Arias confessed - with witness testimony such as, "I just cannot imagine Arias doing anything like this." She did do something like this - she confessed!
Is the defense now going to state that Arias confessed only because the detective pressured her - that her story of the two unknown attackers was the truth? Is the defense going to say, "It's clearly the truth as Arias could have never overpowered Travis - the roommates could not have gone days without noticing Travis is missing / the smell / blood in the washer & dryer."
If the defense plans to do the above - I am nervous that Arias will "walk." With Arias' confession to the murder of Travis Alexander the jury is asking questions about alibis for people other than Arias.
I think that the prosecution needs to remind the jury several times a day that Arias confessed to the murder of Travis Alexander. If not - it is easy (in my opinion) to question if it possible that Arias murdered Travis - or if she did murder Travis she would have had to have help.
Thanks to anyone that actually reads this long post - to anyone that can tell me where to find a video of Aria confessing to murdering Travis Alexander - and to anyone that answers my questions in this long post (such as, is the defense going to say that Arias really did not murder Travis?).
