Susan Powell Video Released
(Video no longer available)
It’s sad to see Susan Powell on this video tape documenting her life–obviously knowing that things are truly wrong, but hoping beyond hope that things will turn around.
From day one, when Josh Powell was still alive, I believed he has lying and I think everyone today believes he took to his grave where Susan lays buried.
Take this as a message, if you read this and have nagging feelings about your own life, that you must listen to that inner voice.
I know many women know something is wrong, but they excuse it away and hope beyond hope things will improve. Whenever there is violence in a relationship, it is irreparably damaged. Nothing positive will ever come from violence.
My thoughts are with the Powell family. I hope one day they find their daughter’s remains.
Amber and Josh Hilberling
Did you catch Dateline this weekend? It was the story of Amber and Josh Hilberling. Josh ended up falling out of his 25th floor apartment that he shared with his wife.
In the police interrogation room, before police spoke to her, Amber started talking to her grandmother about what happened, and police not only listened in, but recorded her.
Amber talks about how she pushed her husband and that he fell out the window, but when asked by her grandmother if it was intentionally, she says no.
I do not believe a word out of Amber’s mouth. She is one scary woman!
I believe, without question, that Amber Hilberling intentionally pushed Joshed knowing it would cause his death.
The clues that Amber reveals are chilling. One that really stood out to me was this one: Amber said in the police interrogation room shortly after her husband died, “This is gonna turn into a nightmare.”
Think about that.
If your husband just died from a horrific accidental fall wouldn’t that be your nightmare?
It clearly wasn’t for Amber.
I think that says it all.
Jodi Arias Pleads for Her Life: “I am a Survivor of Domestic Violence”
Watching Jodi Arias plea for her life is a bit shocking to say the least. Here is a woman who savagely murdered her lover and tortured him, and what she finds it important to talk about to spare her life is absolutely off the wall.
Jodi doesn’t ever apologize or show remorse. She seems to equate an apology as admitting responsibility–as if it were an acceptable replacement. She clearly misses the mark.
She can’t help but tell us how she “thought” about committing suicide, but of course hasn’t because her family “almost always” comes to mind.
Jodi then talks about how she didn’t know she could be employed in prison, be self-reliant and give back to society. She must have had a revelation since saying she wanted the death penalty after being convicted. Interesting!
I suspect she heard how her after-conviction TV interview backfired on her and only fired people up more to get her in the death chamber because they clearly saw her manipulation for what it was.
Jodi tells us how she can help other prisoners, which is not very convincing. No offense, but most people don’t care about prisoners and what others can do for them!
She then tries to tell us she can help society by starting a recycling program at the prison where she will go, and that she can and has donated her hair to Locks of Love.
It’s almost absurd–as absurd as Jodi herself.
She talks about the years she sat in jail awaiting trial when many people asked for help to learn Spanish or sign-language, but she was too busy before trial, but now she will help.
Unbelievable.
She then shows a flimsy t-shirt which she created and hopes to sell for survivors–victims of domestic abuse.
Are you stunned? Yes, so am I.
The gall it takes to even consider this. It shows how sick and twisted Jodi really is.
I find it so sad that this is all she can offer anyone. I would have much preferred to see true and sincere remorse, but Jodi doesn’t have any, as evident by her continually self-centered words.
But by far the most abhorrent thing I heard Jodi say was, “Some people may not believe that I am a survivor of domestic violence–their entitled to their opinion. I am supporting this cause because it is very important to me.”
Notice she never says, “But I am (a survivor)”. She oddly left that out.
She cannot give Travis or his family one ounce of room. At the end of the clip, she starts talking about how sorry she is for what she did–essentially how she ruined HER LIFE–again not sorry for Travis.
I do not believe in the death penalty, but this girl gets as close as I could get to actually pulling the plug. I feel deeply for Travis’ family to have to endure another element from this woman. She could not be more cruel, callous and calculating, if she tried. If I were Travis’ family I would want nothing short of death. I can honestly say that.
Yet in odd twist, I do think this was Jodi trying her damnest to save her life at the only level she knew how. It shows how empty a psychopath really is.
Very sad.
Jodi Arias’ Cell: A Glimpse Inside
I thought this was interesting.
At the end of this video, Jodi Arias displays sadness–a rare moment for her.
I haven’t been able to stay up to date on the trial, but from the photos I’ve caught online, Jodi Arias’ face appears puffy, like she’s actually been crying and crying hard for the first time. Have you seen it?
