AUTHENTICITY: Jodi Arias

by Lisa Wilson, Nick van der Leek

"[Jodi Arias] is just a case like any other case in Maricopa County.” - Jennifer Willmott, Jodi's defense attorneyExcept it isn’t. We haven’t seen the level of brazen mendacity in this case in any other case. Remember, Jodi was on the stand for an unprecedented 18 days. We haven’t seen the level of fabricating evidence and fakery in any other case. We haven’t seen an orgy of evidence (photos, letters, blood, audio recordings) to this extent in any other case. And perhaps more pertinent than anything else, we haven’t seen a chameleon of Jodi Arias’ calibre in any other case. It’s not for nothing that Jane Valez-Mitchell’s book, Shanna Hogan’s book and our books all show two Jodi’s on our covers. Once again, True Crime blogger Lisa Wilson and Photojournalist Nick van der Leek are the first to bring you the very latest updates to the ultra-controversial Jodi Arias case; a 7 year case that shocked America. Once again the authors leave no stone unturned in providing links to all their research, to give the reader unfettered access to all the latest news, video, commentary, memes and more. To recap, AUDACITY, book 1 (and #2 Bestseller for several days), deals with the original trial of the infamous murderess, Jodi Arias. MENDACITY, book 2, is a follow-up focusing on the Penalty Phase (after a second hung jury). AUTHENTICITY, book 3, focuses on those documents released after the penalty phase, including Jodi's ridiculous 36 page manifesto, the complete Gmail chat (in chronological order) which played a critical role in the run-up to the murder. AUTHENTICITY also presents a thorough analysis of the shocking and at times touching statements and testimonies from the Sentencing hearing on April 13th 2015, when Jodi was finally sentenced to life behind bars without parole. The authors also provide links to every sound byte from April 13th, and discuss the implications these have on the case retrospectively.In AUTHENTICITY the authors probe not just the legitimacy of the legal process via a California-based law professional, but also the genuineness of some of the legal practitioners. Besides that they interrogate the genuineness - the absolute lack of - from Jodi herself. Is she a psychopath? Why is the Law of Attraction so dangerous as it was in this case? And what can we learn from Martinez about finding real AUTHENTICITY in our lives, going forward? What is the message behind this trial, behind Oceans and Deserts, regarding the art of living?

Very interesting.

Extremely perceptive about a very unpleasant person. The video links were a good extra.(A few are no longer available now)

Quirky tangents by the authors completely off topic surprised me not in a good way but hey, the rest of this is about that totally psycho killer demon so what the heck!
