Accused murderer Jodi Arias believes she should be punished, but hopes she will not be sentenced to death, two of her closest friends told ABC News in an exclusive interview.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/jodi-arias-...ry?id=18547130
Accused murderer Jodi Arias was confronted today with a barrage of lies she told after she killed her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander, but she twice defiantly declared that she was innocent of first degree murder.
"It's the truth. I'm innocent of that charge," Arias said to prosecutor Juan Martinez, referring to the criminal charge that could carry the threat of the death sentence if she is found guilty.
Arias admitted on the stand that she lied for months and years after killing her ex-boyfriend, telling investigators and friends that she had nothing to do with Alexander's grisly death, in which he was stabbed 27 times, his throat was slashed, and he was shot in the head.
Eventually, Arias confessed to the killing, but claims it was in self-defense.
Today, prosecutors hammered Arias about her lying, getting her to admit to lies she told and playing video of her police interrogation and a TV interview in which she told stories that she has since conceded were not true.

Jodi Arias Prosecutor Juan Martinez Scrutinized For Intense Approach During Testimony
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_2805060.html
Jodi Arias has told her story. I have listened to her version and compared it to the evidence. From this analysis I have come up with what I see as my three biggest problems with Jodi Arias’ story.

I think at this point the only question is whether or not she gets the death penalty.
Jury seems whacky so far. They will be asking her questions later this week. That should give us a good idea of what they're thinking.Quote:

Given the degree of ridiculousness of her entire defense it is truly a slap in the face to anyone with a working brain that there is a chance this jury will not be able to come to a guilty verdict... That's the way our justice system works. Fun.Quote:

Off-topic somewhat. Today on the stand Arias was talking about Travis having vaginal sex with her, and she said she wasn't sure he was even awake. This is irrelevant imo regarding the case, even she didn't claim it as some type of rape in reality.
The part I am interested in is that they cut to the black in-studio guy. He said something along the lines of " there has never been a man in the history of the world to be having sex while asleep."
I would say on a dozen occasions in the past 25 years I have awoke to find myself already full on engaged in intercourse. All these occasions were with women I already was intimate with on multiple occasions, and none took offense in the slightest. They kind of either found it funny, or complimentary that I was attracted to them even while in REM stage sleep. I think this is likely because I sleep on my side, and I'm generally a spooner with women, and somewhere in my brain, the friction or whatever arouses me and I start taking them from behind before I wake. To be honest, I never really thought much about it, have never inquired to a friend if it had happened to them, and generally just assumed it was somewhat standard.
After hearing this guy's comment today, am I an anomaly? or has this happened to you?

For the record, I still am not sold this is going to be a guilty to Murder 1. I think it certainly is worthy of it, but I just see some crazy juror seeing it as if she went to all this trouble to conceal her trip, she would have simply killed him and got out of there, or killed him while he was sleeping and not staying a full day and a half or however long. I see a holdout for M2, thinking there had to be a self-defense element to it. If Travis had suddenly became smitten again that day and invited her to Cancun, he's still alive. That's irrelevant, but a freaky thought.
Oddly draw in by Jodi Arias. Been watching the trial since the beginning and at first was totally anti-jodii but am starting to be turned pro-jodii(have no idea why, but she is flippin me). Martinez blowing up his spot big time. Thanks for links LLL.
That's the exact reason she took the stand. Really no other way to save her life even if she does sound ridiculous at times.Quote:

Guilty as all fuck... but she'll have at least one of the jurors who will believe she's too pretty and sweet.
If they all agree, 100% mistrial on appeal as the judge has royally fucked the process.
In a sense I feel sorry for her, I have no doubt her pathological lies are linked to Borderline Personality Disorder with Narcissistic tendencies.

Samuels was set to return to the witness stand Thursday to respond to juror questions, something allowed in Arizona criminal trials.

PHOENIX — A domestic violence expert is testifying in the trial of a woman accused of murdering her former boyfriend in his suburban Phoenix home.
The expert resumes testimony Tuesday after detailing her expertise to jurors on Monday.
A psychologist who diagnosed Jodi Arias with post-traumatic stress disorder and amnesia concluded nearly six days of testimony on Monday. The prosecutor questioned his credibility and accused him of forming a relationship with Arias that biased his diagnosis.

This may have fucked up the prosecutions case really bad. It's one thing to discredit his creditability as a psychologist, but to start going down this path with a psychologist about him forming a relationship with her is NOT a smart idea... prob did not end well for him. The prosecution is winning this case for her (well atleast making sure she doesn't get the death penalty or a life sentence)Quote:

Based on the questions that they've asked it seems that the Jury isn't buying all of the bull that the defense has presented. There won't be a Casey Anthony result IMO. I'd be shocked if she got the death penalty though.
Agree with you.Quote:

The interesting bit I heard on this and why I even mention a walk, is how hard supposedly the jurors grilled the Dr. Way above avg some of the legal experts were saying.

My point is, that I think they did a good enough job where she doesn't spend more than 10-15years. She SHOULD get the death penalty, or atleast life. She will get neither it seems.Quote:

The defense of Jodi Arias, on trial for allegedly murdering her ex-boyfriend, has cost Arizona taxpayers more than $1.4 million.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/jodi-arias-...4#.UVYOKldvBJc
That is a lot. It seems the Defense strategy is, just leave her up there long enough. Hopefully a a few jurors think, this little, sweet, soft spoken woman could never stab that big man 27 time and shoot him in the head.
In an odd way, it may be there best Defense, probably shooting for a hung jury.
