Media pundits like Nancy Grace saw this as a case of a beautiful, narcissistic psychopath slaughtering her ex-boyfriend in cold blood. Arias\u2019s defense team painted her as a woman abused. But we want to take another approach \u2014 one that recognizes the toxic nature of Jodi and Travis\u2019s relationship while affirming that nothing in Travis\u2019s behavior justifies his brutal death. In the words of author and activist Sarah Schulman: conflict is not abuse. Hurt feelings \u2014 even when caused by someone else\u2019s deceit or selfishness \u2014 don\u2019t give someone a free pass for violence.
