JODI ARIAS
VERDICT
IS IN
Jodi Arias was found guilty this week of first-degree
murder in the killing of her ex-boyfriend after a monthslong trial watched across the nation. The 32-year-old
from California had testified that she killed Travis
Alexander in 2008 in self-defense. She faces life in
prison and possibly the death penalty. In an interview
with a local Fox affiliate after her conviction was
announced, Arias said that she would “much rather
die sooner than later” and that “death is the ultimate
freedom.” She was subsequently put on suicide watch.
