What's even more sad than listening to the family talk about how Travis was such a big part of their lives and he was ripped away way too soon is watching Jodi trying to act like Travis' death has affected her also, I'm glad they had their backs turned to her and they didn't have to look at her stupid ass face talking about their loss
+sweenny seeker You so right and it sounded like they were a close family what ever Travis Alexander did in his life , he didn't deserve to die! JUSTICE FOR TRAVIS AND This jury got it right*** CASE CLOSED*
Still why did Jodi Arias take pictures of him while he was taking a shower I find that errie and creepy and if Travis knew that Jodi was unstable he should have hired a bodyguard 24/7 and I feel bad for the Alexnader Family for losing someone so close your NEVER the same when someone you love dies and takes their life and Jodi Arias destroyed that family and the victim impact statements were hard to listen to! I feel bad for the entire family and I hope they can move on but when I listened to Kim Goldman talk about Ronald Goldman and how he died and OJ Simpson was found NOT GUILTY of course Fred Goldman and Kim Goldman were upset and angry I would be too and the justice system in this country a failure and having Jodi Arias dead will NOT bring Travis Alexander back to life even if the Family wanted justice for Travis the same goes for Casey Anthony who murdered Caylee so she could go out and party and she didn't report her daughter missing for 31 days if Casey was found guilty thats NOT going to BRING CAYLEE BACK TO LIFE DEAD IS DEAD A LIFE HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM THEM! The only justice is when murders will stand in front of GOD and they will answer for their crimes and be judged and only JODI can ASK TRAVIS ALEXANDER FORGIVENESS FOR TAKING HIS LIFE! SAD FOR THE ALEXANDER FAMILY AND FOR THE GOLDMAN FAMILY! RONALD GOLDMAN SOUNDED LIKE A NICE GUY!
Aimee Adesso she took pictures of him in the shower, as that was her excuse to get him in there. Her plan obviously was to kill him in there, and simply wash away all the blood and evidence. It didn’t quite go to plan, but it does explains the pictures. I also think that’s why she lured him with sex first, as then he would automatically want to shower afterwards. The cold, callous, murdering bitch is exactly where she needs to be. As for explaining to God? There’s no guarantee of any after life, so she needs to pay in this!!!🤬🤬🤬
11:51 When Steven looks up searching for strength before reading Travis' affirmation... oh my goodness, tore my heart right out of my chest. His pain is so raw.
IKR it blows my mind. that Steven there his heart breaking his pain so raw even Detective Flores is a retired marine who never met Ta and his almost crying yet the she devil sat there acting all poor me and had the nerve to try to use Steven word and pain to try and save her ass.
Getting back to the subject of the video, victim impact statements are often delivered directly to the defendant. That Samantha and Steven turned their backs on Jodi was telling. If they had spoken directly to her, she would have believed she is the real victim, to a greater degree than she already does. When Det. Flores and Mr. Martinez stood up as Samantha made her way to the lectern, a scene from "To Kill A Mockingbird" came to mind. "Miss Jean Louise? Stand up. Your father's passing." A silent but powerful sign of respect and courtesy.
Brilliant comment. The false accusation in To Kill A Mockingbird, the false rape and exposing of it in trial is a very interesting comparison. Jodi Arias, however, looked like she was enjoying the pain she had inflicted.
You can't help but to admire all of Alex's family. Such courageous people and a lot of dignity. I am so sorry for all that they went through ... may GOD bless you all.
@@sheritadavis9228yeah it was dumb of her but I think she felt more bad for herself but would you rather be like Darrell Brooks or TJ Lane smiling at what they done? I think they shouldn’t have shown her face at all because it’s not about her it’s about the victims
I know I don't know how she can look at this poor family with a clear conscience with those no why are you doing this to me why don't you love me I'm a victem its not my fault but then to use and twist Steven's words receiving the D.P is the ONLY thing she can do to come close to make up for what she did AND SHE had the absolute nerve to ask this family for a plea deal when she has done nothing to show remorse or anything that makes her worthy of forgiveness or redemption
It is weird how she's sitting there crying like she's part of the family or something, grieving right along with them for a tragedy she committed. And acting like she comprehends what they are feeling and feels those emotions as well, it's very odd.
Rob Thomas She claims she marrying one of T.A/siblings cousin. MY GOD HAS SHE NOT TAKING OR HURT THIS FAMILY ENOUGH?! She killed T.A, the grief killed T.A/ his siblings grandma who might as wall have been there mother, she showed up at Travis M.S 1 of the 2 events they should have had to moron there brother with out her ruining it,she was smiling at them at the M.S during court, because they told her a word she never heard enough as a kin No plea deals who could blame them, she told the vilest of lies, even from in jail she attack them with the interviews, Steven has real PTSD, his marriage was destroyed or almost destroyed, she twisted his words to try to save herself, she destroyed the heath peace of mind of all the Alexander siblings, they didn't get the full justice they deserved, During a time they should have had time to rest and recharge she dared ask for a plea deal, after she all but said 'they didn't give me as plea deal if they given me one I would not have to tell those lies'. WHAT MORE DOES SHE HAVE TO TAKE FROM THEM I BET SHE DOING MARRYING THE COUSIN FOR 2 REASONS SHE THINKS IF SHE PART OF THE ALEXANDER IT WILL IT CAUSE MORE PAIN TO T.A SIBLINGS KNOWING SHE BY MARRIAGE PART OF THERE FAMILY AND IF SHE PART OF THERE FAMILY MAYBE THEY WILL NOT GO AFTER THE D.P BECAUSE SHE FAMILY AND IT WILL CAUSE PROBLEM WITH THE COUSIN. SHE CLAIMS TO BE SMART AS EINSTEIN YET SHE DOES NOT REALIZE NOTHING IS GOING TO SAVE HER.
Did you guys see the retrial's victim impact statements? I have to warn you Tanisha's statement is one of the most heart-breaking and tragic thing I have ever seen or heard in my life. Steven told the jury how this has impacted him but also told revealed that his PTSD has gotten worse and that his marriage is now over. Despite him and his wife trying to reconcile after they separated twice they are now getting divorced. I don't know if there is an afterlife but if there is I hope that the Alexander siblings see their mother, father, grandma, and Travis again. 7 years of constant and debilitating agony that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
AmethystEyes I know and when she was letting out just heartbreaking sobs of absolute pain as the monster who slaughtered her brother is being lead from the courtroom Jodi turns to them and smirks at them.
It is heartbreaking to watch! The family acted with so much dignity! I could not say I would act the same if it was my brother, but I hope I would. God Bless Travis!
IKR they deserve the title of a saint at one point they were sitting right behind Ja in the jury box a picture of TA was up on the screen in front of JA. So they could see both ther brother and his murderer if I was one of the Alexanders Ja would have left the courtroom in a body bag.
Travis's only failing was that he was naive in sex education He was blind sided by a Glen Close type figure whom he only wanted the best for. Even after breaking up he offered her a friendship concerned that she would kill herself as she had.d threatened to do. He had never been exposed to Jodi's brand of psychopathy having been around normal, mature loving friends for most of his adult life.
Jesus Christ, Steven’s pain is so raw, he was trying so hard to fight back tears, and keep himself together throughout his statement. Samantha’s statement completely broke my heart, especially around 31:46. When she pauses after “Our lives will never be the same..”, then she proceeds to say “We’ll never get him back”, while admiring her brother’s picture on the projector! I just couldn’t deal. I literally bawled my eyes out with her. I can’t imagine the pain they’ve went through. God bless these people!
My heart and prayers go out to the Alexander family for such a tragic loss. May God always be with them and carry them through this extremely difficult time.
God. The amount of LOSS they've suffered is unreal. From my understanding their father was killed and did not die from natural causes, then their mother, their brother and then their grandmother. Lord, PLEASE give this family a break. The way Jodi is sitting there sobbing makes me sick when I think about what she said at sentencing. His family's only wish was that Travis was unconscious at the time his throat was slit from ear to ear, and Jodi just HAD to let them know, the fog suddenly lifted and dissociative amnesia gone, she suddenly remembered the moment the knife went into Travis's throat and he was conscious. Only a cold hearted and evil person could say such a thing after hearing the victim's family speak. She has so much hate and rage inside her. That statement just further proved how much anger she had inside for Travis, she hated, despised Travis, seething with hatred, she made a plan& carried it out. Then going to his memorial, writing his family a letter which I've read, sending them Irises because that was a baby name she and Travis liked, saying she would name her son Alexander. It's all evidence of borderline personality disorder like Dr. DeMarte diagnosed her with. I dont know how anyone can support this manipulative bitch.
" The difference between a stepping stone and a stumbling block is the character of the person walking the path." - Travis Alexander Justice for Travis :)))))))))
Alexander family I’m so sorry for your loss. I followed this case years ago when it happened. My Daddy was a southern Baptist preacher he would tell me “Baby ,if you look hard enough you’ll find good in everything .” Well I want to tell you’ll what good I found through Travis’s death. I have 3 of the most precious grandchildren in this world,now that 2 of them are becoming teenagers I talked to them about how sick a person can become,they can control you,tell you they love you,anything under the sun just to keep you in their lives,that’s why it’s so important to show them this case because it can happen to anyone….. Thank you Travis Alexandra,you’ve saved so many others from this happening to them… RIP now and forever
What an incredibly beautiful, strong, impressive family. Travis’s family’s heartfelt, genuine speeches were such a stark contrast to the many days of inane, contrived, self absorbed drivel that Jodi spouted. Congratulations to them for representing and honouring their brother in such a dignified wonderful way. Their loss and pain is palpable and what they all achieved despite their rocky childhood is admirable. 💙 Det Flores standing as Samantha walked up showed his quiet integrity.
Their speech even through tears is so effortless. Cause they are telling the truth. Jodi talking and "crying" about her "trauma" would be like this, if it was true. But its not, thats why she ads irrelevant stupid little things to her stories.
This breaks my heart. R.I.P. Travis; you're loved by many people, people who never had the chance to meet you. You'll never be forgotten, and justice WILL be served. As for Jodi Arias, may she get the full extent of the law in terms of punishment. I don't care if he slapped her 8 ways to Sunday, NOTHING justifies her barbaric actions, and she deserves nothing less than to PAY and pay HARD for what she's done.
It is completely heart rendering to listen to these important statements. RIP precious Travis. May Almighty God sustain Samantha and Steven in the lonely days ahead without their dear brother. “The eternal God is your dwelling place and underneath are the everlasting arms.” Deuteronomy 33:27 You are in my prayers today.
My heart breaks for Travis and his family :'( Enemies don't do what Jodi has done to some one she used to "love." RIP Travis. Justice has been served regardless if she gets life or the death penalty either way she will suffer. Now she can rot in prison or in her grave.
Travis's sister Samantha, is a beautiful woman, Travis was a very handsome, and strong young man, throughout all of the siblings trials going through life, they managed to be able to hold on to each other for support, what a senseless tragedy has happened upon this beautiful family, by the hands of one, sociopathic, murderess monster!!
Samantha is beautiful and my heart aches for her Stephen and the entire Alexander family. The surname Alexander is fitting because they are strong like Alexander the Great. I've watched the whole trial coverage from day 1 on Nancy, JVM, Dr. Drew. I'm amazed how this abnormally long trial hasnt gotten to them to the point of actually attacking Jodi themselves who smugly sits just feet away. DEATH is a just verdict in this case and i hope the new jury not as invested as the last will get it right
If Arias was crying, it was for herself. I noted at 26:10 she appears to be covering up a laugh. I thought I interpreted it wrongly, but many people have said they think it was a laugh also because her eyes appear so. A psychologist also agreed that she was indeed laughing, and that sociopaths display very inappropriate behavior. Arias attempted to cry, but for whatever reason she felt like laughing at Samantha's words. So creeeepy.
The pain JA has imposed on these siblings is beyond imagination. My heart aches for each and every one of them ~ I hold you all in prayer, dear ones, for some day you will be together again ~
It’s tragic to think about how the whole Alexander family managed to rise above their extremely difficult childhood and all worked hard to succeed in life and become beautiful, impressive people. While like everyone, Travis had some flaws, he appeared to be a genuinely warm, caring person (as evidenced by his devoted family and friends). So tragic it was all destroyed by the selfish, vindictive actions of one person.
I am so sorry for those tragic events. I don't understand how any attorney could help someone like that walk free to hurt and kill innocent people. Very sorry for your brother's pain and suffering, and the other victims and for you. You have a forgiving heart, and must be a special person.
Looking forward to the penalty phase retrial. I pray this family and Travis (rest in peace) get the justice that they deserve. I wouldn't want to be on that jury, but Jodi deserves the death penalty. Such a tragedy.
Rosa Ben, I'm not on the jury and it isn't for me to decide. As far as I'm concerned, the death penalty serves a purpose and that is punishment. Isn't that what justice is? Letting the innocent go free and the guilty held responsible and punished? There are LAWS that the human race must live by and in that State, the death penalty IS the law. It's not in my hands, I didn't create the laws. If you want to advocate for the eradication of the death penalty, be proactive and change it.
This is your opinion but frankly some heinous sadistical killers do not deserve to live and breath the same air as decent people...it's as simple as that....if you take someone's life with malice you have forfitted the right to your own....that IS justice, it doesn't make the state the same as the murderer, it's simply protecting the public and giving justice to the victim....which is decided by the law of the land, people know this but still choose to break the law, therefore cannot expect mercy......save your empathy for the victims!!
I can't imagine what I would do if I were in that position. I have almost been in that position many times, and even being that close was numbing and shattering.
These family statements broke my heart , i dont even know this family , may God be with you all , 16 years this year Jodi took a life , a beautiful person who had so much to offer ......
NOT A TEAR FALLS FROM HER EYES EVEN WATCHING THEM BEAR THEIR SOULS. Watching their crushed spirits just breaks my heart. His brother explaining how his life has been ruined and how he is tortured. None of it makes her really cry even though she destroyed this family and his brother's nuclear family. If that isn't a real monster I don't know what is. She couldn't even force any tears out. She probably just dusted a bunch of blush on and around her nose to look like she's flushed and crying.
There was another sister there at the trial. She wasn't there on this day, because she didn't have the strength to do this. She does her own interview on a show, I believe (I think it's on youtube).
those statements were powerful. one thing has been bothering me though. when the judge gives the daily admonition to the jury about speaking to the press or anyone else about the case, why did that also not automatically apply to arias who tweets from jail and gave an interview?
You could hear at least some of the jurors crying during Samantha's speech. In answer to someone's question, no, jurors aren't penalized at this point for expressing emotion as long as it is not disruptive.
How many animals have you eaten which were savagely butchered and wrapped in nice shiny fancy packaging for you to sit up on your high morality table whilst slicing into your butchered carcass.. LMMFAO
Capital punishment is not vengeance, it's being held accountable and paying the consequences of your actions. The judicial body (court) is a branch of the government. We will all stand to be judge and unless we've truely repented and asked for forgiveness, we too shall held accountable and pay the consequences of our misdeeds.
Why is Jodi crying? ..... She makes me sick to the core! God bless the Alexander family. Samantha is a resemblance of Travis. ❤️ same eyes and nose! She can look back at herself and remember him forever. She’s so strong and her brother to give their heart pouring statements . Til this day, I hope they are filled with strength and happiness even though, they have broken hearts and scars of their passing of their brother. RIP Travis
Agreed...agreed...after reflecting on my comment, I was thinking the same thing which is unfortunate. I would have thought she would FINALLY have true emotion for someone outside of herself but nothing has been presented (directly from her) that can corroborate this fallacy of mine. You are correct. Thanks.
God is a vengful god and this woman will get hers when her true judgement day comes the gates of hell will be wide open awaiting her arrival may she suffer for eternity. I pray the lord gives this family peace and healing and comfort. So very sad when you loose a loved one but at the hands of evil monster my heart goes out to his brothers and sisters..God Bless you all.
I don't know ...some people have different ways reacting to the same thing. Maybe one sibling couldn't bear to be in the same room as her. Another could be a sibling who had warned him. Who knows. This was on its own hard to watch
Did anyone else notice how Jodi refuses to make eye contact with the Jury when they are leaving now? Before they sentenced her, she would stare them down like a hawk.
😢💔 When Stephen Alexander said .. "Now when I want to talk or see my brother I have to go to a 3 & 1/2ft 8ft long & 6ft deep hole in the ground" my heart sunk & I cried!! The ordacity of this "THING" It's honestly disgusting & vile to see her feign heartache & pain for this most horrendous callous & evil act she committed!! I never knew Travis & will never know his family nor the pain & suffering they endured at her hands. She giggled with defence lawyer Willmott thru out trial & laughed at Prosector Martinez's closing arguement Not to mention she NEVER once the entire trial made eye contact with Travis's family or offered any type of a "I'm sorry"!! 💯 Martinez was right .. "It Only Matters When It Matters To Her"!!!
This is my opinion, and some may understandably disagree, but I think this is the only time Arias ever felt real remorse for what she did. Hearing Samantha speak about her brother is heartbreaking.
+Audrey Vasquez There is no remorse, her attorneys tolled her to show it, she is EVIL bitch, has no soul or remorse, she is a sociopath piece of shit, hope she rot in hell.
jackie 24 your right!! She’s a dark souls and these entities don’t feel genuine emotions. They’re here to take the light from our lives. We may even have a family member or a friend who’s a dark soul.
throughout this impact statement, jody looks at Alexander brother with sadness and she`s crying..She is acting like she should ..If she would just never open her mouth, she would win! Unfortunate for her she opened her mouth, and keeps opening...The more you lisnen Jody,the less You like it ..She appear to be smart ass, VERY IMMATURE and CHILDISH>
I must agree and will go a step further by saying that it seemed as though he wanted to say to them that he was sorry. That is a powerful word that has NEVER been GENUINELY uttered by JA unfortunately.
Anyone know what channel does the trial play more than 2hrs on or is it 2hrs on all channels? LameTV cut it to 2hr, by the time I wake up there's only 20min left of it, so annoying. Please let me know.
Jodi destroyed two families & she looked like she had some type of real emotion yesterday unsure why but she did look more genuine. Praying for the Alexander family. America's family. R. I. P. Travis
And not once has anyone stepped up to say anything such as Travis’s family and that shows and says a lot about hour as a person. She’s vile and not one human being had said anything nice about her. I would’ve said I’m not going to speak on the person who caused this to our family just as it was when she was obsessed with my brother, she is nothing to anyone
At the start of the video she takes tissues even before victim impact statements started, just a fake person overall, life in prison is too easy for her acts
I hope that she was not actually grimacing because I thought this was the most emotion I've seen from JA (not empathizing with her AT ALL). On the other hand, who wouldn't be emotional...? Just a tremendously sad situation all around!
I have to have compassion for people like Jodi so hatred doesn't live in my heart. My brother was a start football player here in Florida & while we were visiting my my uncle a common thug decided to do a walk by just walked up opened fire on us. I watched a jury let him go although we were eye witnesses. He later went on to kill a teen a rob a 13 yo of his shoes before he was.finally given prison time. My brother was shot in the neck and another teen shot in the back neither could play fb/track
Heartwrenching.... I hope the Alexander faimly knows they are being held up in prayer by many people and are able to feel the love and peace of God, if not today then as they go forward with their lives.
What's even more sad than listening to the family talk about how Travis was such a big part of their lives and he was ripped away way too soon is watching Jodi trying to act like Travis' death has affected her also, I'm glad they had their backs turned to her and they didn't have to look at her stupid ass face talking about their loss

SAD FOR THE ALEXANDER FAMILY AND FOR THE GOLDMAN FAMILY! RONALD GOLDMAN SOUNDED LIKE A NICE GUY!
Both made very bad judgements. Travis didn't deserve to die. This case should be shown to middle schoolers, to educate them how things can go wrong.

I think out of all of them Samantha looks like travis the most.
petty girl i agree. They look like twins.
I definitely agree. 😩 It’s heartbreaking.
The other sister too.. it’s two sisters that look like twins...
24:26 Jesus, my heart broke into a million pieces.
Shortly after that you can see that Jodi's attorney is affected by it as well but trying to pretend that she isn't. Which is a damn shame.
Their statements render me at a feeling of loss. So sad
Travis's only failing was that he was naive in sex education He was blind sided by a Glen Close type figure whom he only wanted the best for. Even after breaking up he offered her a friendship concerned that she would kill herself as she had.d threatened to do.
He had never been exposed to Jodi's brand of psychopathy having been around normal, mature loving friends for most of his adult life.
This poor family has endured so much, yet remains so beautiful 😪

You have said it perfectly...This monster remembers every second of the murder..every second!
why why why would someone like Travis associate with someone like Jodi - I never understood.

" The difference between a stepping stone and a stumbling block is the character of the person walking the path." - Travis Alexander
Justice for Travis :)))))))))
My deepest condolences to the Alexander Family.
Alexander family
I’m so sorry for your loss. I followed this case years ago when it happened.
My Daddy was a southern Baptist preacher he would tell me “Baby ,if you look hard enough you’ll find good in everything .”
Well I want to tell you’ll what good I found through Travis’s death.
I have 3 of the most precious grandchildren in this world,now that 2 of them are becoming teenagers I talked to them about how sick a person can become,they can control you,tell you they love you,anything under the sun just to keep you in their lives,that’s why it’s so important to show them this case because it can happen to anyone…..
Thank you Travis Alexandra,you’ve saved so many others from this happening to them…
RIP now and forever
What an incredibly beautiful, strong, impressive family. Travis’s family’s heartfelt, genuine speeches were such a stark contrast to the many days of inane, contrived, self absorbed drivel that Jodi spouted. Congratulations to them for representing and honouring their brother in such a dignified wonderful way. Their loss and pain is palpable and what they all achieved despite their rocky childhood is admirable. 💙
Det Flores standing as Samantha walked up showed his quiet integrity.
Their speech even through tears is so effortless. Cause they are telling the truth. Jodi talking and "crying" about her "trauma" would be like this, if it was true. But its not, thats why she ads irrelevant stupid little things to her stories.
How elegant and brave these poor family members were in speaking for their beloved brother..GOD BLESS THE TRAVIS ALEXANDER FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Look how the heartless mom of Jodi could give Zero Fk’s in the background.
No affect whatsoever
This was heart breaking to watch ! Thinking of the family stay strong .
This breaks my heart. R.I.P. Travis; you're loved by many people, people who never had the chance to meet you. You'll never be forgotten, and justice WILL be served. As for Jodi Arias, may she get the full extent of the law in terms of punishment. I don't care if he slapped her 8 ways to Sunday, NOTHING justifies her barbaric actions, and she deserves nothing less than to PAY and pay HARD for what she's done.
Jodi thinks she is just part of the audience listening to someone speaking about the death of a loved one..she is just an onlooker.
It is completely heart rendering to listen to these important statements. RIP precious Travis. May Almighty God sustain Samantha and Steven in the lonely days ahead without their dear brother. “The eternal God is your dwelling place and underneath are the everlasting arms.” Deuteronomy 33:27 You are in my prayers today.
My heart breaks for Travis and his family :'( Enemies don't do what Jodi has done to some one she used to "love." RIP Travis. Justice has been served regardless if she gets life or the death penalty either way she will suffer. Now she can rot in prison or in her grave.
Travis's sister Samantha, is a beautiful woman, Travis was a very handsome, and strong young man, throughout all of the siblings trials going through life, they managed to be able to hold on to each other for support, what a senseless tragedy has happened upon this beautiful family, by the hands of one, sociopathic, murderess monster!!
They maintained such dignity and restraint throughout and obviously have an incredibly loving bond.
Samantha looks very much like Travis, nice looking lady. My heart breaks for this family.
Samantha is beautiful and my heart aches for her Stephen and the entire Alexander family. The surname Alexander is fitting because they are strong like Alexander the Great. I've watched the whole trial coverage from day 1 on Nancy, JVM, Dr. Drew. I'm amazed how this abnormally long trial hasnt gotten to them to the point of actually attacking Jodi themselves who smugly sits just feet away. DEATH is a just verdict in this case and i hope the new jury not as invested as the last will get it right
If I were on that jury I wouldn’t be able to hold back tears hearing these speeches. Does anything happen if jurors show emotion or show a reaction?
This is absolutely heartbreaking. Jodi deserves every year in prison she spends there.
Omg you can tell that Jodi is trying hard to look sympathetic and sad but she is not pulling it off
If Arias was crying, it was for herself. I noted at 26:10 she appears to be covering up a laugh. I thought I interpreted it wrongly, but many people have said they think it was a laugh also because her eyes appear so. A psychologist also agreed that she was indeed laughing, and that sociopaths display very inappropriate behavior. Arias attempted to cry, but for whatever reason she felt like laughing at Samantha's words. So creeeepy.
Absolutely looking like she was covering het mouth to hold back laughter. Yes, the eyes were twinkling...and not with tears.
I believe this is the first time she truly cried during the trial
Omg! Stevens statement brought me to my knees. Wow!! I wish I could've hugged him. This is absolutely gut wrenching.
How dare that piece of crap cry. I’m so happy the siblings didn’t mention that evil person and kept the focus on Travis.
The pain JA has imposed on these siblings is beyond imagination. My heart aches for each and every one of them ~ I hold you all in prayer, dear ones, for some day you will be together again ~
It’s tragic to think about how the whole Alexander family managed to rise above their extremely difficult childhood and all worked hard to succeed in life and become beautiful, impressive people. While like everyone, Travis had some flaws, he appeared to be a genuinely warm, caring person (as evidenced by his devoted family and friends). So tragic it was all destroyed by the selfish, vindictive actions of one person.
I am so sorry for those tragic events. I don't understand how any attorney could help someone like that walk free to hurt and kill innocent people. Very sorry for your brother's pain and suffering, and the other victims and for you. You have a forgiving heart, and must be a special person.
Looking forward to the penalty phase retrial. I pray this family and Travis (rest in peace) get the justice that they deserve. I wouldn't want to be on that jury, but Jodi deserves the death penalty. Such a tragedy.
You are just like Jodi you want to punish someone by killing him, there is no difference with her
Rosa Ben, I'm not on the jury and it isn't for me to decide. As far as I'm concerned, the death penalty serves a purpose and that is punishment. Isn't that what justice is? Letting the innocent go free and the guilty held responsible and punished? There are LAWS that the human race must live by and in that State, the death penalty IS the law. It's not in my hands, I didn't create the laws. If you want to advocate for the eradication of the death penalty, be proactive and change it.
This is your opinion but frankly some heinous sadistical killers do not deserve to live and breath the same air as decent people...it's as simple as that....if you take someone's life with malice you have forfitted the right to your own....that IS justice, it doesn't make the state the same as the murderer, it's simply protecting the public and giving justice to the victim....which is decided by the law of the land, people know this but still choose to break the law, therefore cannot expect mercy......save your empathy for the victims!!
This family went through a lot in thier lives and there brother be murdered . I know jesus will console them
I can't imagine what I would do if I were in that position. I have almost been in that position many times, and even being that close was numbing and shattering.
Jodi's body language at the end. She swipes her throat from ear to ear. Chilling
yes I saw Jodi do the "slit throat" motion with her thumb during victim impact statements. she is a walking, talking horror show!!!
so ... sad... steven statement was so sad... so sad... dont have more words...to see both Travis sibblings emotions its very heartbreaking
I can't remember myself defending anybody. Aaah and yeah I cried a little bit on this one.
How sad... I wish he never met her...
I guess she forgot to use her artificial tears before she left her cell that day.
What an elegant and strong lady. Everything Jodi was not.
These family statements broke my heart , i dont even know this family , may God be with you all , 16 years this year Jodi took a life , a beautiful person who had so much to offer ......
❤🙏🏻 RIP Travis Alexander
NOT A TEAR FALLS FROM HER EYES EVEN WATCHING THEM BEAR THEIR SOULS. Watching their crushed spirits just breaks my heart. His brother explaining how his life has been ruined and how he is tortured. None of it makes her really cry even though she destroyed this family and his brother's nuclear family. If that isn't a real monster I don't know what is. She couldn't even force any tears out. She probably just dusted a bunch of blush on and around her nose to look like she's flushed and crying.
There was another sister there at the trial. She wasn't there on this day, because she didn't have the strength to do this. She does her own interview on a show, I believe (I think it's on youtube).
I am glad the jury went home with only these impact statements.OMG Monday is gonna be vomit inducing....Sigh
those statements were powerful. one thing has been bothering me though. when the judge gives the daily admonition to the jury about speaking to the press or anyone else about the case, why did that also not automatically apply to arias who tweets from jail and gave an interview?
It’s the law. The jury is ONLY allowed to listen to the evidence and testimony presented in court.
rest in peace Travis Alexander...
You could hear at least some of the jurors crying during Samantha's speech. In answer to someone's question, no, jurors aren't penalized at this point for expressing emotion as long as it is not disruptive.
how can another person butcher ahuman being like that
Ask the mormon mafia about their "blood atonement."
easy, that thing wasn't a PERSON!!!
How many animals have you eaten which were savagely butchered and wrapped in nice shiny fancy packaging for you to sit up on your high morality table whilst slicing into your butchered carcass.. LMMFAO
Capital punishment is not vengeance, it's being held accountable and paying the consequences of your actions. The judicial body (court) is a branch of the government. We will all stand to be judge and unless we've truely repented and asked for forgiveness, we too shall held accountable and pay the consequences of our misdeeds.
Why is Jodi crying? ..... She makes me sick to the core! God bless the Alexander family. Samantha is a resemblance of Travis. ❤️ same eyes and nose! She can look back at herself and remember him forever. She’s so strong and her brother to give their heart pouring statements . Til this day, I hope they are filled with strength and happiness even though, they have broken hearts and scars of their passing of their brother. RIP Travis
Nah ! This the lesson to the people everywhere ... Dont force Love !!!
Agreed...agreed...after reflecting on my comment, I was thinking the same thing which is unfortunate. I would have thought she would FINALLY have true emotion for someone outside of herself but nothing has been presented (directly from her) that can corroborate this fallacy of mine. You are correct. Thanks.
I hope someone off that jury seen that
@Andy Capp, I respect your comments and agree with them.
God is a vengful god and this woman will get hers when her true judgement day comes the gates of hell will be wide open awaiting her arrival may she suffer for eternity.
I pray the lord gives this family peace and healing and comfort. So very sad when you loose a loved one but at the hands of evil monster my heart goes out to his brothers and sisters..God Bless you all.
also, why did only four siblings come to court everyday?? where were the other three boys and one other sister???
I don't know ...some people have different ways reacting to the same thing. Maybe one sibling couldn't bear to be in the same room as her. Another could be a sibling who had warned him. Who knows. This was on its own hard to watch
I had hoped they would be facing Hodi and speak damningly directly at her as well.
Did anyone else notice how Jodi refuses to make eye contact with the Jury when they are leaving now? Before they sentenced her, she would stare them down like a hawk.
😢💔
When Stephen Alexander said ..
"Now when I want to talk or see my brother I have to go to a 3 & 1/2ft 8ft long & 6ft deep hole in the ground" my heart sunk & I cried!!
The ordacity of this "THING" It's honestly disgusting & vile to see her feign heartache & pain for this most horrendous callous & evil act she committed!!
I never knew Travis & will never know his family nor the pain & suffering they endured at her hands.
She giggled with defence lawyer Willmott thru out trial & laughed at Prosector Martinez's closing arguement
Not to mention she NEVER once the entire trial made eye contact with Travis's family or offered any type of a "I'm sorry"!!
💯 Martinez was right ..
"It Only Matters When It Matters To Her"!!!
My goodness you can tell who is Travis' siblings they all look so much alike. Sad sad... 💔💔💔
t the end Jodie's lawyer has a look that says "That was aqwaaaaard. Glad thats over."
This is my opinion, and some may understandably disagree, but I think this is the only time Arias ever felt real remorse for what she did. Hearing Samantha speak about her brother is heartbreaking.
+Audrey Vasquez There is no remorse, her attorneys tolled her to show it, she is EVIL bitch, has no soul or remorse, she is a sociopath piece of shit, hope she rot in hell.
jackie 24 your right!! She’s a dark souls and these entities don’t feel genuine emotions. They’re here to take the light from our lives. We may even have a family member or a friend who’s a dark soul.
all his sisters look a like ... RIP Travis..
throughout this impact statement, jody looks at Alexander brother with sadness and she`s crying..She is acting like she should ..If she would just never open her mouth, she would win! Unfortunate for her she opened her mouth, and keeps opening...The more you lisnen Jody,the less You like it ..She appear to be smart ass, VERY IMMATURE and CHILDISH>
I must agree and will go a step further by saying that it seemed as though he wanted to say to them that he was sorry. That is a powerful word that has NEVER been GENUINELY uttered by JA unfortunately.
Perhaps I lost my temper, and I sincerely opologize Bella... but that man did not deserve that!
Once again Jodi makes the knife Gesture to the throat @ 3:17 on the tape
Nothing happens at 3:17...? She’s writing
Jodi looks terrible. The whole court case has aged her dramatically.
oh she crying and feeling sorry for herself not for them
Please don't show jodi I have to place my hand on the screen to hide her face, it's not pleasant to look at her at such emotional moments.
In her sick mind she longer to be a part of this loving family,the tears are those of Travis's widow.She is a Whack Job !
Anyone know what channel does the trial play more than 2hrs on or is it 2hrs on all channels? LameTV cut it to 2hr, by the time I wake up there's only 20min left of it, so annoying. Please let me know.
Jodi destroyed two families & she looked like she had some type of real emotion yesterday unsure why but she did look more genuine. Praying for the Alexander family. America's family. R. I. P. Travis
And not once has anyone stepped up to say anything such as Travis’s family and that shows and says a lot about hour as a person. She’s vile and not one human being had said anything nice about her. I would’ve said I’m not going to speak on the person who caused this to our family just as it was when she was obsessed with my brother, she is nothing to anyone
"she looked like she had some type of real emotion "
Just remember Travis knew her, he knew she "only cries for herself".
The judge is above the jury afaik.
At the start of the video she takes tissues even before victim impact statements started, just a fake person overall, life in prison is too easy for her acts
she is so beautiful. sweet. humble. she is great. bless her.
?????
I hope that she was not actually grimacing because I thought this was the most emotion I've seen from JA (not empathizing with her AT ALL). On the other hand, who wouldn't be emotional...? Just a tremendously sad situation all around!
Life in prison would be worse... 23 hrs in a cell.
I have to have compassion for people like Jodi so hatred doesn't live in my heart. My brother was a start football player here in Florida & while we were visiting my my uncle a common thug decided to do a walk by just walked up opened fire on us. I watched a jury let him go although we were eye witnesses. He later went on to kill a teen a rob a 13 yo of his shoes before he was.finally given prison time. My brother was shot in the neck and another teen shot in the back neither could play fb/track
7.44 what's that thing crying for??
Total Destroyer!
Heartwrenching.... I hope the Alexander faimly knows they are being held up in prayer by many people and are able to feel the love and peace of God, if not today then as they go forward with their lives.
God she is watching him like she did not kill his brother.. I dont believe that
It's her fault she was used by him. If she didnt like it then she should of left. Simple.
