This is gruesome but necessary to show the jury the violence that JA used to murder Travis.
My spouse keeps asking me why couldnt Travis fight her off. Well.....its pretty obvious to me that if JA managed to get her very first stab at him in a critical area like the chest OR maybe the first thing she did was slash his throat while he was at the sink not paying attention that she had snuck up behind him........then it becomes obvious to me that Travis would be in no condition to fight back. He was probably so shocked and horrified by the very first wound, that all he could do was fall down and try to crawl away.
If that 1st wound was vicious enough, there is nothing he would have been able to do since the pain and shock of it all was just too great.
It also brings up another thing that makes JA so sadistic. Most people would finally stop and maybe run out of the house after they knew they killed the person. But what JA did was literally drag him back to the shower area and then she calmly did laundry and other things before leaving.
JA has no concious and no soul IMO.
Most people could never do what she did.
