"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned / Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."
That famous quote from "The Mourning Bride" which was written in 1697 by William Congreve seems to sum up the latest high-profile true crime case. One which has elements of both the OJ Simpson trial of the mid nineties, and the May, 2011, Casey Anthony, not-guilty fiasco.
Obviously yet another one of those extreme but all-too-common murderously-dysfunctional-relationship by-products that we true-crime-fans know and love so well, this is the one where extreme religiousness is combined with a great deal of uncommon sexual frustration.
Suddenly, without warning, one of the relationship participants is kicked to the curb and abandoned.

They can no-longer sleep or eat.. they become obsessed with the person who has left them.
This is where they usually jump or fall into a depression so deeply and darkly that they'll be willing make a deal with the devil in order to feel better about themselves and their current situation.

So they then begin to rationalize with themselves. They say: “If I can't have you, then no one else will either. I will end your life," as we witnessed in the OJ Simpson case.
This is the case of Jodi Arias. A 32-year-old Monterey County woman who has admitted to murdering her ex-lover, Travis Victor Alexander, known to his friends as "T-Dogg," also of Riverside, California, in an act of self defense. Far from the truth that defense is almost an impossibility.
This case literally has the proverbial smoking gun. A confession and crime-scene-photos taken accidentally in real-time.
My theory is that Arias went to his house with full intentions of getting back together with "T-Dogg," or else. But he only wanted sex, as we men so often do, and then he likely told her to "get lost."
Arias immediately began feeling those old familiar stabbing wounds to her heart strings, and didn't like the feeling. So she decided to pull out her new best friend and back-up-plan: her gun.
I also would like to point out that regardless of the fact that Aries does not have what society might deem"the typical look of a monstrous, cold, callous, calculating killer," the same primal-instinct of survival, which lies dormant inside all of us, will tell us we should kill or be killed.
For anybody who has taken anger-management treatment, myself included, know that this primitive area of the brain lies hidden deep inside us and is exactly the same no matter what the exterior may look like.
Bang! She shot Alexander in the face, immobilizing him—and then finished him off by stabbing him multiple times. She has no idea why, but she feels a tremendous relief. In fact, she's filmed at the police station smiling and giddy.

We all share this primal instinct. Only some of us pretend to hide it better than others.

Jennifer Willmott, a death penalty-qualified defense attorney has been selected to represent Arias.
