• Jodi Arias Trial: Defense Has Rested in Penalty Phase

    Jodi Arias' defense team has done everything that they can to spare her life during the penalty phase of her trial and they have already rested their case. The prosecution will be up next to try and convince the Phoenix jury that she deserves the death penalty for killing Travis Alexander back in 2008. Her sentencing retrial began back in October because jurors were deadlocked the first time around. Prosecutors are hoping that Arias' punishment fits the crime and this doesn't end the same way that the first penalty phase trial did.

  • Penalty Retrial Jury to Be Seated Next Week in Jodi Arias Trial as Defense Team Fights to Get Death Penalty Off the Table

    Selecting a jury in the penalty retrial of convicted murderer Jodi Arias has been easier than many first anticipated. Arias was found guilty of murdering her on-again/off-again boyfriend Travis Alexander in June 2008. Arias changed her story several times while on trial, but what was clear was that stabbing Alexander 30 times, slitting his throat and then shooting the victim seemed like a display of overkill rather than self-defense. Jurors originally agreed and convicted Arias, but then the case went sideways during the first penalty phase. Some 300 potential jurors were interviewed for the second shot at a penalty phase in Arias's case, and the official panel is expected to be seated Tuesday, Oct. 21. Her defense team is fighting to get the death penalty off the table.
