She indeed does not have any arrests concerning 'criminal history', but people have testified as to her criminal acts that escaped notice by the police. Her history as a 'peeping Tom' (She's a 'peeping JAA'.), her sneaking into Travis' basement and turning off the circuit breakers (He found her there when he went to check the circuit breakers!), her slashing his tires TWICE (and the girl he was seeing once.)and she rung the doorbell each time to inform them that 'I'm here, and you'll soon know I was here.' Her entering his house so many times without his permission. Her stalking Travis, for over a year! She certainly has a criminal 'history'. Even in the 8th grade, her parents caught her and a friend growing marijuana on the roof and called the police. That law does not state 'no criminal CONVICTION'. It says, 'No Criminal HISTORY', which she does have!
And I agree, she was not a girl by years! She was almost 3 decades old.
As to her mental capacities at the time of the ambush and brutal murder...she's been found capable of standing trial or she would not be sitting in the court room in the defendant's chair! She was never mentally incompetent. Its the same as, say, someone who is diagnosed as a 'Pathological liar', but that does not give them a mitigation factor in any way. I can on;y hope there's not one pervert like the first jury foreman who made up his mind when he first saw her that she could not be sentenced to death. He based his decision on his OPINION and not the EVIDENCE in the jury room. And he had the upper hand, because he had managed to get himself elected as FOREMAN of that jury. I've often thought he may have even 'volunteered', since he had his own radio talk show in the area where people would call in and he would debate their opinions on issues. I am convinced that he influenced the other 3 jurors who did not vote death.)
