It wasn’t that she was Arias’ attorney why people didn’t like her. It was her attitude. Her smirking. Her rolling of the eyes Her laughing at the other side. It was her unprofessionalism that got her in hot water

You don't threaten an attorney's children!! I don't care who they defend. I can't stand Jodi, she's a cold blooded killer, but people shouldn't threaten an attorney's family or them!!!

im sure Travis Alexander would like to hug his family and visa versa

“No one will recognize me after next week.” Lol

"I don't think this case should have been first degree." SHE INTENTIONALLY HID HER TRACKS LEADING UP TO THE KILLING, STABBED HIM 27 TIMES, SLIT HIS THROAT EAR TO EAR, SHOT HIM IN THE HEAD, AND REPEATEDLY LIED ABOUT IT. How could be anything but FIRST degree????

The people threatening the lawyer and her family are exactly like Jodi arias .

YOU KNOW WHO WOULD LIKE TO HUG THEIR NIECE? TRAVIS VICTOR ALEXANDER.

She may not get to hug her mom and her niece but Travis family will never get to see or touch him ever again! He's gone forever!!!

I feel no pity for Jodi.

Maybe she should have thought about hugging people before she murdered a guy in cold blood

i thought jodi wanted to die, she changes her mind continually, she is a lier as always...

She knew Jodi was lying and it was premeditated! Just the gas cans alone and her trying to hide the 3rd one was enough to blow her defense away.

I know Nurmi begged the judge to be removed from the case. He didn't have a choice. I would have choked Jodi out on the second day if i had to deal with her

I don't know why people hate her so much. She brought LaViolette as witness, that's a major win for everybody else.

Jodi "I'll gladly accept the death penalty if I commited this crime" Also Jodi "the reason you should spare my life is because I will make t shirts and cut my hair "

Willmutt: "In a week this will all go away" Seven years later we are still watching it and calling her all idiot 😂😂😂 It's not going away

Simply a paid gig for this attorney

Willmant is an attorney, she did her job. Everybody, no matter how vile,deserves a defense counsel in their case. That's how our legal system works. If I am accused of something & potentially facing time,I'd want to be heard&tell my side of the story,js. Ppl sending willmant death threats for doing her job&for doing what anybody would want her to do if she were representing them in court is absolutely ridiculous

Aww poor Jodi.. I bet Travis family would love to hug him and touch him...

This is not a bloody domestic violence case. Yes for travis it was

The Alexander family would like, love, to hug their brother! Don’t poor Jodi me! 😡

The way she brags about all the money and love letters she gets, it’s hard not to wish she was sitting on death row in isolation 23 1/2 hours a day.

I am amazed she doesn't think it was first degree. Travis was slaughtered and the jury agreed. Better to say no comment but to side with the lies is something beyond attorney/client privilege

Does anyone else think that Willmott's body language, hand gestures and the way she talks is just like JA?

Willmott was played by Jodi. Worst thing about it her public stance is to act as though justice was not done. It was not 2nd degree murder - she premeditated the whole thing. The poor Alexander family.

She said she's sure in 2-5 weeks people would forget about her. Lol, 6 years later.

I actually respect Jennifer for facing an uphill battle with this case. I don't think Jennifer is a bad person, she's a lawyer doing her job. None of us like Jodi, but Jennifer is not the criminal here and does not deserve to be hated.

I’m sure Travis Alexander’s family would like to give him a hug as well.

Ask Nurmi if he thinks she’s funny, special and smart.....he bloody hates her! Lol!

Everyone wants to attack Ms Willmott because of how she practiced law during the trial. But imagine if you had to defend Jodi Arias when they already had a mountain of evidence that she was guilty. The only thing she could do was keep her off death row and she succeeded. She was defending someone who was clearly guilty (Jodi admitted to the crime).

If she only know her as a client. Why does she say,"we should get to know her"the only people who want to know her are psychologist. Who want to study her

This cannot be a professional interviewer.... I can acknowledge that she is doing her job and should not be threatened for it but the fact that she looks at this as a domestic violence case and believes that this sociopath was genuinely remorseful tells me she does not have the good judgment to do this work

I wouldn't hire Willmott to even fight a speeding ticket in traffic court, let alone as defense counsel for a murder trial.

This attorney is delusional. Do the crime - do the time.

Jodi would like to hug her mom? I'm sure Travis would like to hug his mom too

How dumb do you have to be to say she doesn't deserve first degree? I don't get lawyers. Does she genuinely think that? It's so obvious

How does that make any sense?! Someone is so upset about Jodi being a murderer...that they threaten to murder her lawyers family?? That’s the same thing!! How does that make sense!!

She's a lawyer alright, but she damn well knows how guilty Jodi was, she should let it go, she's still fighting for her even now, case closed, she's gone for good. What pisses me off is, the world saw Jodi showing no remorse, and the statements she made before sentencing, but Jen here still believes that she was remorseful, numri figured out Jodi fast, now that's a clever attorney.

The truth is she wasn't a very good lawyer. Her cross examining the defence's psychologist witness was actually embarrassing.

I feel bad for the Alexander family Jodi arias should be in solitary for life

Her desk decor says everything about her a as a professional

"Chit chatty funny smart nobody got to see that part of her" WTF Willmat??? JA killed... slaughtered a human being! Both are sickening!!

Wow, are you kidding me saying that this wasn't a 1st degree murder case?!?! SMH!!!! I wonder if you would feel the same way if she did that to one of your family members.

Defending your client is one thing, but knowingly destroying the character & name of the dead victim in front of the victims surviving family members is entirely another. This is a NEW phenomena and up until recently was NOT permitted in front of any reputable judge. It is beyond any and all boundaries of ethical behavior and should be against the law, never mind acceptable attorney behavior...Not only did Ms. Wilmott base her client's entire defense on the premise that Travis was something he was not, she continued to do that right until sentencing - then had the audacity to say the defense never called him a pedophile, because evidently they didn't use the term. I can't even get my head wrapped around this level of gutter deception..

God bless Travis and his loved ones

Jennifer Willmott u should be ashamed of yourself. U were snuggling up to her, hugging her. U didn’t have to do that. Your actions hurt so many people,most of all the Travis family

She looks so lovely when she smiles. I don’t agree with a lot of things the defence team did, but she is still a person with a job to do.

Some people are just psycho....threatening a lawyer and her family because she is defending a client ? That is EVERY citizen's right if they are on trial.

Lawyer is supposed to defend his client.Even if the client is in the wrong.Thats his/her job.

Jennifer serves a very important Constitutional purpose and every defendant deserves the right to defense.

I just have this to say, about both her and Kurt Nurmi. What exactly were they expected to do? This case was a complete loser from the start. Jodi Arias is the worst kind of client imaginable. She does everything a defendant should not do. Talking to the press, changing her story over and over, sparring with the prosecutor in court, not showing any remorse...let me know if I left anything out. I felt that she said the right thing. She had a job to do, which was to make sure her client was represented. We all knew Jodi was guilty, and so did Wilmott. Even if I were just simply pleading guilty, I know I would want an attorney to protect my rights as a convicted murderer. The case dragged on as long as it did because to me there were so many unnecessary witnesses called to the stand. It shouldn't have taken that long to find her guilty. Defense attorneys exist for our protection, remember that people. And I hate Jodi as much as you all do. But I'd rather live in a system where no matter what the circumstances, everyone gets their day in court. Remember Jodi COULD HAVE plead guilty before trial, but she chose not to.

I would'nt hire this "attorney" to spring my dog from the pound.

After that torturous death that poor victim went thru...she doesn't deserve any hugs !!

I’m sure Travis and his family would like to huge each other too. SMH

As someone who is taking law classes I must say you all need to stop giving Jennifer hate. she was an appointed attorney by the court. she is just doing her job. by law Jodi is entitled to have an appointed lawyer if she can't afford one. sending her or her family threats are not ok. you have to think are these people any better than Jodi?

I can empathize with why people dislike Willmott, regardless though she did her job and did the best she could for her client.

I find it sad when reading all the comments below. There is no need for all this hate for Jennifer Willmott. She's an attorney and her job is to represent her client in and out of court. There is so much hatred toward this woman simply because she represented Jodia Arias and that is wrong. You all should be ashamed of yourselves for smearing her like this.

Thank God, she was Jodi’s lawyer 😂🤣

Is the interviewer sitting in a closet during this exchange? Using the proper microphones for an interview is kinda important,

Cases like this will bring out the crazies.

She carried out a duty. She had to defend her, because that's what defence attorneys are there for. Without them, there would be no 'safe' convictions, and the appeal courts would be working overtime releasing people because they had no legal representation throughout their trial. The justice system could not operate in a meaningful way without them. Jeez, why attack the people who are ensuring that justice is served?

I almost became a lawyer but I could never prosecute someone I thought was innocent or deserved mercy, and I could never defend someone I knew was guilty. Lawyers have a strange sense of morals...but so do their clients.

I respect Ms Willmott for doing her job (and that she didn't capitalise on this case by writing a book like Mr Martinez and Mr Nurmi did) to her best abilities especially under the huge pressure of the social media and journalists. However, I'm rather shocked that, given all the evidence, she still doesn't think that it was first degree murder. Regardless of whether Jodi was in an abusive relationship or not, the evidence overwhelmingly shows that she planned the murder well in advance and in great detail.

Laughing and joking? Does that seem remorseful? Not at all she'd do it again!

The volume is extremely low here smh

jack I can tell u jodi is a cold blooded murderer !!!!

“Yeah I don’t like cameras”, that’s why I’m doing this interview.

The people throwing harsh personal insults/threats to her and her witnesses are despicable human beings who need to work toward getting a life. I mean obviously I didn't root FOR her, but holy fk... irony is strong on this one.

I have a lot of respect for Willmot and Nurmi. They had no choice in whether they represented her, and they stuck it out all the way through. They dealt with so much hate from the media, including death threats, and still did their job all the way to the end. Even now Willmot presents nothing but professionalism in the interview, even though she knows she represented a cold blooded killer. I cant imagine any of this is anywhere near easy.

Aww bad luck willmot that Arias wont be able to hug her mother again cause travis family wont ever hug there son or brother again neither..

Ms. Willmott needs to get herself educated in recognizing A NARCISSIST!

Jennifer willmott speaks with double tongues. During the trial, she stated that Jodi killed in self-defense; in this interview she states said Jodi regrets what she did. This doesn't sound like self-defense to me. People who defend themselves don't have regrets.

I’m sorry, being a defence attorney is ok, but slandering and dragging the dead during that defence is another. What they did to Travis’ character and dignity in that courtroom, was digging his almost decapitated dead body out of that grave and killing him again. Clearly once wasn’t enough. I feel zero sorry for these lots!🖕🏼

Only way to punish jodi is solitary confinement

Oh. And Dr Janeen Demarte kicked your ass. As U tried to confuse the jury with a lie that Lenore Walker didn't use the 6 criteria in BWS anymore! Was that your own lie? Or did ALYCE lie to u abt that?

Defending a killer and doing her job...ok I get that! But letting her lie and try to ruin the reputation of a dead man I will never understand! Pure evil!

i lost her at the part where she think shes remorsable

The look on Jennifer’s face when she heard the proof about the gas cans , SHE KNEW that Jodi was lying! How anyone could NOT see thru jodis lies etc is beyond me!

Il bet Travis would also like to hug his mom and niece

Lol the haters sending death threats only made her more determined to stay. Idiots thinking they can threaten a stranger are no different from Jodi.

That woman was just doing her job . The same being angry at person that kill the cow but then eat the meet.

Rofl "I don't think people will remember me as representing Jodi." You just publically represented a nationally sensational case. Give yourself a little credit, lol.

How can you say that Jodi is remorseful after what she said during sentencing? How she remembers the knife going into Travis's throat and he was conscience? I mean how evil must you be to hurt the family like that? Even if she did forget what Happened and then all of a sudden remember. She is the most disgusting person on this planet to turn around and basically "stab" the family right in the heart again. But you think she is remorseful? What the hell is wrong with you?

To fault Ms. Wilmott for doing her job is the most ridiculous argument. I don't care for some of the tactics the defense pulled but they were doing everything in their power to fight for Jodi's life. Mr. Martinez did a great job in putting her where she belonged, but to go out and threaten these lawyers for going to work each day is the biggest crock of shit these haters perform. I don't care for the players in this saga but one thing I do care for is that Mr. Alexander can now rest in peace, and his family can move forward.

Against 12 jurors who found PREMEDIATED murder she believes it was 2nd degree? Jennifer what happened to the 'self defense' you fought and believed, that is not 2nd degree? you make no sense whatsover...go be a counselor not a lawyer!!

Jodi is a Murderer and Willmott is a TERRIBLE lawyer!

She wants to hug her mom? And her niece? Poor Jodi. Travis can hug his family anytime he wants. Oh wait......

I hate that people attack any witnesses or lawyers for the defense. They are doing their JOB. Everyone deserves a fair trial, no matter who they are, or what they've done. You WANT them to have a fair trial, and not get off the hook on a mistrial. Jodi Arias was probably guilty (only her a Travis can know for a fact what happened), and she was punished accordingly, but there are a surprising amount of people charged with crimes they truly did not commit. It saddens me that people jump to conclusions and attack everyone associated with a person on trial as if being charged (or even convicted) of a crime is absolute proof that they did it. Don't get caught up in the hysteria.

for an attorney who deals with confrontational situations frequently she’s really self conscious about what’s being written down

Jodi made her prison cot and will lay in it. Really can't have human touch? At least Jodi family can talk to her family,, that wasn't a choice for Travis because it was taken from him.

6:32 Who recognized how quick she switched the expression in her face?

And the majority of the world watching this case couldn't disagree with you more Jenny - this was most def M1 case/ your client is one of the worst of the worst. Her entitled attitude and hateful vindictiveness is what tells us this. And your personal level of unmitigated gall accusing the prosecutor of misconduct over trumped up phony allegations was obscene.

She thinks this case will be a positive for her career ??? You mean showing the world how a defense team gets their clock cleaned and is totally humiliated at the hands of Juan Martinez?? Yeah, there's a feather in your cap ! lol

Those people who get so emotionally involved with a media case with people whom they don't even know that they make threats and attack attorneys are as sick and disturbed as Jodi herself. Maybe more so.

This interviewer is absolutely amazing. She’s asking all the right questions I commend her. Things that we all wanted to know is always great to have asked when we can.

If I killed someone and was assigned Wilmot as my defense attorney, I'd beg for a plea bargain...this lawyer is horribly incompetent.

My first question would be "why the heck could you not put your bloody pen down and listen to what's going on in court?"

And who gives a f.... what she wants or who she'd hug... This monster who's behind the bars lives in completely different dimension than average human being... good job she didn't get death penalty at least she can suffer (if shes able) living behind the bars!

My left ear loved this 😂

I thought about the "Spiderman" underwear she said he liked ,insinuating he was a pervert. I listened to his last speech that was given a little over a month before he was killed. That speech showed a great deal about his personality. He was humble, self-effacing and was kidding and joking about many things that had the audience laughing.The "Spiderman" pants ,like maybe "Superman" or "Big Bird" clothes could of been him , just kidding around with her. And she took it to a new or in this case a lower level , to save herself from the DeathPenalty.He was always joking around and not with kids ...only young adults like himself.Child molesters hang out with kids and are drawn to professions where kids would trust them. I think that it was a smear campaign to make him look worse than her....or a justification for the slaughtering of a human being. Also ,she kept saying and everyone kept assuming that , she dropped that camera ACCIDENTLY .He talked about buying it ,in that last speech of his in Colorado. He seemed to really like it. I think there is the possibility that instead of accidently dropping it , as she said ,which led to his "rage"........ It is possible she intentionally ,in front of him, spitefully threw it down on the water soaked floor....trying to damage or destroy it. She did end up deleting all the photos and putting it in the washer . The last photo of him...if you cover one side of his face,while looking at the other....and then change covering sides ,you will notice one eye is displaying fear and the other eye is showing anger. He was taken off guard and had mixed emotions on what was about to happen to him. Getting out of the shower and leaning down ,picking up his camera and not keeping an eye on her movements in those critical seconds.....she could of easily stabbed him in the chest....putting him into shock ,which ultimately led him to defending himself in half - hearted feeble ways . She lied and said the camera bounced off the ground like a ball. Try just dropping a camera.....it doesn't bounce like a ball. It doesn't bounce at all.Her truths were half truths. She mingled in lies ,with what happened. She might of started the confrontation with after letting his guard down ,having sex ,taking photos ....then slamming the camera down ....with his Soul partly realizing this was it.This was what he had been joking and talking about to his friends ....that he was going to be murdered . Listen ,carefully while he is with a group of friends, with her hanging on him....about a robbery and the idea of a female putting a gun to his head and how frightened he was . He even held up his hand ,pointing his finger like it was a gun ,to the same part of his head that , was actually shot in real life. He never fought back. She was listening intently and slowly raised her head up ,looking straight ahead ,somberly. Everyone else around him ,as was he , laughing his Story off. I wonder what she was thinking in those moments....he would be easy to kill?....he wouldn't fight back?.Who knows. But looking in her eyes....she had the 30 yard stare.
