Just saw on the news it has cost taxpayers over 800 grand. I understand it went to trial because she might get the death penalty.
Does anyone know if a plea deal was offered? I don't buy her defense, but I am against the DP.
No offense toward the victim's family. I'm sorry for their loss and have to go through this.

(11,304 posts)death penalty but I don't think they'll give it to her. I don't like the death penalty either. I think it's the easy way out. I was telling my husband how could she just overkill a person. How many damn ways can you kill someone. She has alot of hate in her. I don't buy anything she says. She is a liar and I think the state is doing a good job on cross. I hope they don't pull an Anthony.

(5,909 posts)I believe she's lying her ass off on the stand (perjury) but it's because her life is on the line. I don't believe the guy abused her.
That's why I was wondering if a plea was offered. I'll google it.
Hey, she could get off like Casey Anthony--you never know.

(11,304 posts)to get what she wants. I hope they throw the key away. But I'm worried about her getting off. That would be tragic. However, she has admitted to killing him. She is trying hard to make Travis look bad. But the more she tries the worse she looks. I'm sure the jury is getting tired of the case. I mean enough already the rest of the trail if fluff.

(1,532 posts)which would mean a sentence of about 16 years (she's already been in jail almost five years). But the prosecution turned down the offer, insisting that it was a first degree case. I agree with their assessment that it's first degree, although I'll be surprised if they get the death penalty.

(5,909 posts)I didn't know it's been going on that long---I just get the daily clips on GMA. I agree it's first degree too.

(13,985 posts)What makes me sick is how coherent she is and how she pauses to formulate her lies. She doesn't even blink when claiming she doesn't remember when she stabbed her bf a dozen times. But she remembers everything else! Freaking murderer!
