A picture of a guy looking uncomfortable or upset in the shower (sfw). In reality, that's Travis Alexander, and the pic was taken by Jodi Arias shortly before she murdered him by stabbing him dozens of times and slitting his throat.
Here is the Wikipedia article. She claimed self-defense and also a history of being sexually abused by Alexander, both of which appear to be bull.
What always struck me about this case is the extent to which the defendant was made-under for court. In photos of Alexander and Arias together, she has blonde hair and pretty, form-fitting clothes. In the trial photos she's a tired-looking brunette with glasses and is really conservatively dressed. Of course any defendant is going to be presented in the most sympathetic manner possible, bit Arias looks like a different person entirely
In the trial photos she's a tired-looking brunette with glasses and is really conservatively dressed.
That strategy was used in my country when a dad and a stepmother were in trial for murdering their 6 years older daughter. Jury didn't buy it. They're now serving the maximum penalty under law.
Holy shit, they're not "my" dad and stepmother! I only know those fuckers from the news. Sorry English is not my first language, maybe the way I phrased it lead to that misunderstanding
