Jodi Arias is a woman who gained significant public attention after being convicted of the murder of her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander. The crime occurred on June 4, 2008, in Mesa, Arizona. Alexander was found dead in his home with multiple stab wounds, a slit throat, and a gunshot wound to the head.

Arias was arrested on July 15, 2008, and initially denied involvement in the murder but later admitted to killing Alexander, claiming it was in self-defense. Her trial began in January 2013 and garnered substantial media attention due to the graphic nature of the crime, Arias' changing narratives, and the sensational coverage.

During the trial, the prosecution depicted Arias as a jealous ex-girlfriend who meticulously planned the murder. The defense argued that she acted in self-defense due to domestic violence, which the jury ultimately did not accept. On May 8, 2013, Arias was found guilty of first-degree murder. After two separate sentencing trials, she was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on April 13, 2015.

The case became a subject of considerable public interest, leading to multiple documentaries, books, and media discussions exploring the details of the crime and the trial. Arias remains incarcerated, serving her sentence in Arizona.
