He was stuck on this case for Five long, long years. Knowing that a psychopath was doing everything possible to manipulate him. Talk about a man really hating his job. 😛 I understand his reaction. One look at those crime scene photos is enough to make this woman look like a monster. She can discuss her “vaginal grooming.” all she wants and its not a turn on. Someone this depraved isn’t sexy in any context. imho Just looking at her and knowing what she did to her lover is sickening. I’m surprised her former attorney can discuss the case in such detail. Its extraordinary that he still managed to mount an effective defense under these difficult personal circumstances. > **[Jodi Arias Ex-Lawyer Rails About Convicted Murderer's 'Sexual Escapades'](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jodi-arias-former-attorney-calls-her-intimidating-and-disturbed_n_5655d625e4b079b28189cfad)** > > Kirk Nurmi dishes the dirt on Arias in tell-all book. > [@](#): > > He explains the title of the book, “Trapped with Ms. Arias,” in the introduction, saying the five-year case took an emotional toll on him and prompted him to give up his job at the public defender’s office just to get away from Arias – a move the courts ultimately shot down by ordering him to stay on the case. > > “Once I had a sense of where this case was going, I was willing to give up a job … simply to get away from Ms. Arias, and when I did not get away, I realized that I was truly trapped on her case, which also meant I was trapped with her,” Nurmi wrote.
