Episode 14 - Arizona v Jodi Ann Arias, Pt. 1 : Liar, Liar

In Episode 14, Kyle and Lisa looked at State of Arizona v. Jodi Ann Arias. On the evening of June 9, 2008, Travis Alexander was found murdered in the floor of the shower in his house in Mesa, AZ. He'd been stabbed multiple times, including a fatal wound in his chest, shot in the head and his throat had been slit. Fingers were immediately pointed at Jodi Arias, a former girlfriend and failed waitress/salesperson/photographer from Northern California. Travis and Arias had been engaged in a sexually charged on-off relationship since their first meeting in September, 2006. Forensic evidence found at the scene soon confirmed Arias' presence in the house at the time of Travis' murder and she was indicted and arrested in July, 2008. Initially, Arias denied being in Mesa, even in the face of date-stamped photographs of her in Travis' bed, naked on the day of the murder. When that story didn't work, Arias told a tall tale of a male and female intruder wearing ski masks that Arias called "beanies over their faces," who entered the house to kill Travis and threaten her. In Part 1, Lisa and Kyle talked about the brief relationship between Travis and Arias, Arias' odd and disturbing behaviors, including her extreme violations of Travis' privacy, Travis' murder and the pre-trial period between Travis' murder on June 4, 2008 and Arias' trial, which began in December, 2012 with jury selection.
