Murderer

The Resume

    (July 9, 1980- )
    Born in Monterey County, California
    Resided in Mesa, Arizona
    Murdered her boyfriend Travis Alexander (stabbed dozens of times, slit in the throat, and shot in the head; found June 4, 2008; trial began January 2, 2013)
    Sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole (April 13, 2015)

Why she might be annoying:

    She staged a burglary at her grandparents’ house (May 2008), using a stolen .25 that was never recovered (she had also hacked Alexander’s Facebook account).
    She pled not guilty on grounds of self-defense (February 2013).
    The white Ford Focus she claimed to rent for local driving had registered some 2,800 miles (4,500 km) by the time it was returned.
    She planned to commit suicide before going to trial.
    She submitted to a mousy nerdy makeover – stunning blonde to messy brunette, with glasses – in the hopes of appearing more innocent.
    With so many conflicting stories – all with an abusive boyfriend theme – the jury eventually asked why they should buy her next story.

Why she might not be annoying:

    When she met Alexander – a motivational speaker who later baptized her as a Latter-Day Saint – she was a sales representative for a network marketing company.
    Her case drew comparisons to Casey Anthony.
    She cited a wooden spoon and a belt as a form of punishment by her parents.
    She was indicted for first-degree murder on the date of her 28th birthday.
    A key witness testified that Alexander was deathly terrified of her.
    Her case is a refreshing change of pace from predictable abuse cases of her getting off clean and him getting his.
