THAT is what she did to Travis Alexander.
Perhaps some folks not familiar with the case are unaware of the brutality of the murder.
She deserves the death penalty so that she does not have the opportunity to have a 'life' in prison, so that she won't be able to visit with her family any longer (like Travis' family can not see him ever again), so that she will not be able to participate in any prison programs/events such as: the singing contests, her desire to create a prison recycling program, her desire to teach other prisoners English, etc.
She should not have the opportunity to do anything that gives her any pleasure at all and the only way to insure that is the death penalty.
Just my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

Note: If the jurors decide not to sentence Arias to death, Stephens will either sentence her to life in prison without parole or life in prison with the eligibility for parole after 25 years.

While I respect your right to such an opinion, I disagree for what may seem like an odd reason.

Good points, but even if she gets the death penalty she will be sitting on death row 20+ years...
