Did you watch 48 Hours this weekend? The featured story was titled Power and Passion.
You can watch it above.
Do I believe Angel Downs committed suicide? I do not.
I am going in for major surgery this week. Please know I will get back to the computer as soon as I am able. I may post to Facebook before the blog so check there for the latest updates. Please be patient for me….Thanks!
I was surprised to learn that Jodi masterminded a way to tweet from jail, but in reality I shouldn’t be surprised. This woman is a master manipulator and she will find a way to do things that most people wouldn’t. In this case, many people might have thought about having a friend outside of jail tweet on their behalf, but most wouldn’t be ballsy enough to actually do and do it so crudely as Jodi has.
I guess Nancy must have pondered if Jodi Arias was giving the finger at one point in court, and Jodi in her psychopathic ways had no problem getting vicious. She tweeted, “Actually, Nancy, that finger was for you. Have a nice day.”
Yes, that is Jodi’s true character–at absolute odds with the type of person she wants to portray in court–a person who would tolerate abuse, wouldn’t you say? That alone should be shown to the jury as proof! A timid victim would not have done that, folks! A vicious, killing psychopath–absolutely.
And Jodi is also managing to sell artwork from behind bars, too. Have you seen? She is essentially profit from her death penalty trial. She is using her friend, Donavan Bering, to create these websites and display her artwork.
I’m astounded by it all, but really shouldn’t be. It’s just amazing to watch happen in real time. You’d think the justice system would be shut down somehow, someway!
It’s interesting to watch Donavan Bering in the video above defend the tweets she wrote on Jodi’s behalf that are clearly attacking Juan Martinez. I don’t believe any of Donavan’s nonsense. She is as creepy as Jodi herself!!
Got the chills? After watching Jodi and her friend Donavan, you should!!
Sorry the blog has been quiet this week. I’ve been on the road again. Just got back from teaching in Atlanta…playing catch up. Please be patient!
Witnessed my first police chase yesterday on the interstate on the way to the airport. That was scary!

What was the biggest lie you’ve ever told?
Or what was the biggest lie told to you?
This should be interesting if people are honest!
I was reading the news tonight and I saw this photo of Matthew Warren. He was the son of the well known Evangelical pastor Rick Warren. He has sadly committed suicide.
When I saw this photo, I was immediately taken back. Was this photo was given to the media by his family’s church? Credit in the media goes to Saddleback Church. I couldn’t help but wonder who took the photo because Matthew is clearly displaying contempt at the person taking the photo. Contempt is a dislike, a disdain.
Had they known this and were able to verbalize that he felt this way, could the people in his life have dug deeper to find out why he felt the way he did? Perhaps he felt alone and misunderstood. I suspect they didn’t know that this is what this photo demonstrated because if they had, would it made it out to the media?
Perhaps this is a wake up call for all of us to explore when someone feels such a strong emotion towards someone. Why they are feeling it? Can we open up dialogue? Can we help? Can we dig deeper and try to understand? Could it help a person on the brink? Perhaps.
I’m not saying that people didn’t care or probe for Matthew. The church says he had mental issues and suicidal thoughts. They may very well have probed, but it gives you pause when you see this expression to consider it next time someone expresses contempt at you. Why are they feeling this way? Can you help them?
Of course, contempt can have many sources for its expression and many may not be any concern at all and there may be nothing you can do, but next time I see it in someone who is disconnected, it will give me pause. Are they truly okay?
