State of Arizona v. Jodi Ann Arias

On June 9, 2008, friends discovered the body of Travis Alexander in his shower at his home in Mesa, Arizona.  They immediately suspected Jodi Arias, an ex-girlfriend.  Initially, Arias seemed to have an ironclad alibi based on her trip to Utah from her home in Yreka, California on the day of the murder.  Once evidence at the crime scene linked her to the murder, Arias told admitting to being present, but blamed the murder on masked intruders, who mysteriously let her leave unscathed.  While in jail awaiting extradition and later while she awaited trial, she scheduled interviews with the media, appearing on Inside Edition and 48 Hours.  She was convicted of first-degree, premeditated murder in May, 2013 and eventually sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in April, 2015.  Join Michael Carnahan and Lisa O’Brien on June 12, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. CDT, for a discussion of the case against Arias, including her changing stories, her unsuccessful attempts to create an alibi and the protracted saga of her trials.  We’re a live show and calls are always welcome at (347) 989-1171.
