Jodis Happy Handstand

Jodi’s happy handstand 

Ms. Arias,
Ms. slashing throat,
Ms. stabbing-the-guy-27-times,
Ms. shooting-the-guy-in-the-****ing-head
after he was dead,
who got transformed for her trial,
from blond babe to
librarian (courtesy of her lawyer),
who has been lying through her teeth for
3 months now,
whose story has holes big enough to drive
a car through,
now can be seen on tape
doing a handstand in the interrogation room
on the day of her arrest…
she was singing &
she was regretting aloud that she should have
done her makeup &
yet, this is something that the jury isn’t allowed to
see.

if this killer gets off &
the jury sees see her interrogation video 
which has been spread 
all over the internet, 
imagine being one of those jury members
who believed her lies & then
you see her doing a handstand…
