PHOENIX, May 8 (Reuters) – An Arizona jury on Wednesday
reached a verdict in the trial of Jodi Arias, the California
woman accused of murdering her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander.
The Maricopa County Superior Court said the jury verdict will
be read at 1:30 p.m./4:30 p.m. EDT.
Arias, 32, faces the death penalty if convicted of the first
degree murder of 30-year-old Alexander, whose body was found in
the shower of his Phoenix valley home in June 2008. He had been
shot in the face, stabbed multiple times and had his throat
slashed.
She admitted to shooting Alexander, but said it was in
self-defense after he attacked her in a fury because she dropped
his camera while taking snapshots of him in the shower.
