An exclusive look at Jodi Arias' life behind bars

PHOENIX - It's a trial that is being broadcast live across the nation -- dissected and debated on a nightly basis. The murder trial of Jodi Arias is riddled with sex, violence and deceit.

Jodi herself is seen by many as a cold blooded killer. But we're giving you an exclusive look behind bars -- where Jodi is defined in a very different way.

http://www.myfoxphoenix.com/story/20643221/2013/01/21/an-exclusive-look-at-jodi-arias-life-behind-bars

This is an exceptionally good read and presents details not heard much in the media, it sort of fills in a lot of gaps...

Written 2010, updated 2012

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2011/12/29/jodi-arias_n_1174274.html?icid=hp_front_art

A few items of interest: Jodi submitted forged letters trying to paint TA as a pedophile, a physical abuser, and a sexual deviant - oh and in those letters he just so happens to say he was considering marrying JA.

First off, the court deemed the electronic copies a complete forgery and fabrication. And the judge laughed them out of the courtroom. That alone I would think could serve as hefty evidence. But what is also telling is the psychopath within the words. A shrink (forget which show) pointed out that only a psychopath would insert words into a ded man's mouth and try to convince the world that he found her marriage worthy - when in fact the reality is that everyone who knew him knew he did not. But even after death it was paramount for her to command the perception of others that she had a different persona. In other words, image means more to Jodi than the truth - than reality.

The other interesting thing in this article is that when she filed the motion to preclude her forged letters, it was the same time she fired her lawyers am petitioned to represent herself. So basically, her lawyers were like You're Nuts! We're not filing those letters and she defied them, fired them and said fine, I'll do it my way. The next week her letters were tossed by the court as a fake and she was told she was over her head so she got all new representation. The article details some of her motion where she first introduces the THIRD story, that of self defense.

And also this blurb, which I think sums up JA well:
"She employs a distorted image in explaining how someone else would view the situation. It isn't that Jodi Arias is a psychopath disconnected from reality; it's that ONLY HER reality matters...Arias is an actor in her own drama and as long as she is clapping for her performance, she is happy. If convicted of murder, I can guarantee Jodi Arias will have a great time in prison amusing herself quite nicely as she moves on to Act Two."

Someone on NG said allegedly she was planning on buying his BMW. However, those are her words. I wouldn't doubt that really he was making her pay for his slashed tires but she'll never admit to it.

ARTICLE: http://www.hlntv.com/article/2013/01/22/what-really-killed-travis-alexander

The reports I've read shows that she is neglecting the big factor that the shell casing was found lodged on top of his blood. Which means he was already bleeding prior to the shot, which means the knife had already been used.

Based on the evidence, she did not shoot him first. A shot to the face would have been so painful and disorienting that he would have immediately fallen and therefore no way to get defensive wounds on his arms and forearms, which were shown to be at an angle requiring that he was still standing.

I think it is quite clear she shot him to put him out of his misery. Her rage had been released, she saw the damage she caused and she wanted to see herself as a merciful person. She even said in the interrogation that if she had killed him she would do it humanely and shoot him. There are slices of truth in every lie she tells. She saw he was bleeding to death and she felt justified in killing him - she felt he deserved it- so she wanted to make sure she absolved herself of all internal guilt so she did what she felt was the humane thing to do - finish him off with a bullet to the head. Little did she realize the knife wounds had already done the trick.

And the bullet trajectory was down and at an angle. Considering he was taller than her the only way she could have made a trajectoru downward was if she were standing over him- which means he was already down and facing her. We had already disabled him with the knife and he was slumped down.

I dont think the shot was to put him out of his misery... after stabbing him in/ near a vital organ and he didn't die she cut his throat... I think giving him a tap to the head was to make sure he was dead...

I suppose they could just ASK Jodi whether she shot him first, or stabbed him first.

Since she admits killing him in "self defense", she should have no qualms climbing up into the witness box and answering a few simple questions, right? And telling more of her enormous lies.

In some respects, Jodi Arias reminds me of Karla Faye Tucker, the "sweet", small, slender woman who committed 2 grisly pickaxe murders. She "found religion" during her trial, and while on death row, and was put to death, nonetheless. Her excuse was "drugs made me do it."

This is a good overview of Karla's case.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karla_Faye_Tucker

I think Jodi's tactics at this point are similar-- put on a good show, look fragile and small, be friendly and extra nice to everyone around her. Her very life is at stake. It didn't work for Karla Faye Tucker, and I hope the jury will not be fooled by her act. A pretty exterior, which hides pure psychopathic evil, imo.

If JA were a man who killed his girlfriend in the exact same circumstances and manner, there would be little to no media coverage 5 years later, and the trial would be over and the perp rotting away waiting for his date with the needle. I'm kind of baffled why the public is still incredulous that a pretty young woman, a small woman, could commit a brutal murder.

From Stolat's link:

" "She would break into his email -- multiple times -- [and] when he began dating another girl, she snuck into the house and watched them sleeping -- they had fallen asleep on an oversized bean bag watching a movie," Hughes said. "

Excellent set of docs.
Page 8 of the investigative report:
-- at 1619 TA's email account was entered into;
-- shell casing was found near the sink area, gun not located

Page 9 JA states she attended a conference in Utah during the time in question;
-- not only is this a blatant lie but she fails to mention Ryan, the next man she would attempt to latch onto;

Page 11 begins discussion of the letters
Pages 16-17:
--no claim to self-defense; defendant miles away and drove to the victim's home to commit the murder;

Page 26 begins snippets of the letters and I have to wonder if many of the words JA attributes to TA is how she felt about herself;

Bmore wrote:I dont think the shot was to put him out of his misery... after stabbing him in/ near a vital organ and he didn't die she cut his throat... I think giving him a tap to the head was to make sure he was dead...

In a roundabout way, I totally agree with you. But nevertheless, I believe the shot was not the first wound. And like you say, it was likely intended to "finish him off". I do think in some twisted warled demeted way she felt she was being merciful and fancied herself a kind person all whilst doing this. And also part of her likely grew tired of his moans and cries for help and she just couldn't be bothered with it anymore.

I think she's been advised to be very careful how she answers which injury was inflicted first. I have read several places where the order of the assault could determine the level of aggravating circumstances and either support or refute self-defense. So even if you ask her which order came first, it will likely be a lie - and it will likely change - if she thinks it will hurt her case. 

He was not that tall of a guy, in fact in their baptismal picture he looks like a dwarf standing next to the other guys in the photo (seriously, check it out - he's a little guy). I'm 5'9 and would tower over him. He is not that tall and not that much taller than Jodi, so it is not really a stretch that she could overcome him if he's naked, vulnerable and she has the element of surprise and stealth.

Hope you all don't mind my joining in!

This has been a bit of a crazy trial with the prosecution resting so quickly, some of the jury questions, why didn't they call any roomates, what was the point of calling Arias' friend Udy, and showing her nude photo's of Arias; why not just show her the picture of what she did to Travis, the utter overkill.

The prosecution is scaring me that they may have blown it. With that said, perhaps they have a killer (no pun intended) rebuttal!

Hi, Linda!
I have wondered why the prosecution did rest at this time.
IMO, the court was going to be dark with a legal holiday (ML King's bd) and it appears, perhaps, there is other scheduled events to keep the jury out. I am guessing the State had to consider a long time break IF they were to continue their presentation. As it stands, IIRC, Leslie Andrews was the last on the stand and her words will stick in the minds of the jury.

I am most curious to see the rebuttal by the state or closing arguments.
The State has presented a solid case in what they have shared.

Hi Freckles.

I too, think/thought the state was doing a great job..until they rested! Didn't see that coming! And I am concerned what will happen with the judge making a decision on the mistrial request and the evidentary hearing on (I think) if the prosecution proved premeditation.

It seems obvious to me this was in no way, shape or form, self-defense. More like a woman scorned, who premeditated his murder. It seems to me she went there intent on using sex to try to persuade him to "stay with her/rekindle their relationship" and if he did not comply, then she intended to kill him. And she did. When he was most vulnerable, in the shower.

Some women/girls think that if they have sex with the guy they are interested in/want to have a relationship with, that that will win him over. It doesn't. And all it is is sex. Arias didn't like that. If every woman who used sex to win a guy over, and it didn't work, there would be men murdered all over the place!

I am very interested in the defense case. Although I know it will be a total smear campaign of Travis. I want to see just what they have up their sleeve regarding Arias' claims of being "abused". IMO, the fact that Travis kept his sex life with Arias a secret could be a little tricky, maybe to the jury. He did seemingly live a double life, that conflicted with the Mormon religion. Not that that should make any difference. No one, no one, deserves what was done to him.

How and when and WHY did she record his phone calls and how is that not illegal?? Thought it was illegal to record a phone convo without the other's consent? And why did she record his calls?? I think this only shows just how long she premeditated this whole thing. Almost everything she does seems to be a premeditated "insurance" policy to later cover her own butt- right down to the "lies" she entered into her own journal the days immediately following the discovery of his body. That wasn't evidence of her "lying to herself" as the media portrayed - that was her attempt to plant fake evidence, knowing that likely her property would be searched. Everything she does seems to be planned out three steps ahead like a crafty game of chess.

I think that she recorded his calls because she originally thought they may prove useful to prove to other women that he wasn't a faithful guy. She was known to reach out to the new love interests of TA and contact them on MySpace and other means. I think the phone calls are more evidence of her need to control and manipulate the situation. She did not kill out of jealousy or out of scorn. She killed because that was her only way to completely dominate the situation and control the outcome. Jealousy is wanting what someone else has or is getting, but her reaction seems to go way beyond that - she wanted to own TA or else never let anyone else fill that role. She never loved TA, she needed to own him as an object of conquest - that is how she defined her self worth. It's why she seduced a married man, as was reported. She wanted to prove to herself she could claim something that wasn't hers. Same goes for TA. It's the only way she can achieve value.

I have a different opinion. I do not believe she murdered Travis in this ridiculous self defense theory and I do believe his murder was premeditated.

I think her sick reasoning for butchering Travis is where my opinion differs from most. I tend to believe JA was Travis's 'dirty little secret'. The sexual relationship between the two does not follow the beliefs of the Mormon religion. A religion that Travis introduced to JA. I have to wonder if these types of sexual relations are common amongst Travis's other Mormon friends? Was Travis living a lie when it came to his religious beliefs? Did he represent himself to others as a devout Mormon then behind closed doors live a different life?

I am in NO way suggesting Travis was a bad man. He was still young and experiencing life. I tend to belief JA felt used and she killed Travis out of revenge rather than fatal attraction. She may have even felt deceived or manipulated. In her eyes, Travis had pretended to be someone he wasn't.

In my opinion, the charges JA fit the murder of Travis. Nothing he did or did not do was deserving of his murder. I just have a different opinion of what JA's motive may have been.

I don't think your theory is that far off or uncommon. As to being misled, I think that's exactly what happened. Hey, we've all been there - we've all bought into some lie, some promise of commitment or some future outcome that we shouldn't have fallen for. When the red flags started popping up, we just put the blinders on. And when the floor fell out beneath us, we got mad at the other person - not ourselves. Because its easier to redirect self-hatred than accept our own roles in our failures, failures to protect ourselves. It takes two to be deceived or abused. JA had as much accountability for her role for staying in an abusive relationship IF that is what was going on. And that accountability does not excuse her to murder. I think TA was a player, a womanizer. He wanted to screw a whore but marry a saint. There's a lot of those types out there. And part of that is just immaturity and it seems he was trying to change his ways and settle down for real - and I'm sure that was a HUGE insult to JA to know she let herself become a doormat and was not good enough - mostly by her OWN doing. Hey, if you're going to act like a whore you're going to get treated like a whore. But at the end of the day, that still does not constitute justifiable murder.

And as for leading a double life- Jodi is the biggest offender. She is a chameleon, a shell of a person. She assumes the identity of whomever she is around at te time. I think all her "Mormon talk" is complete BS and a big fake. It's like putting on a fake accent. Just look at her MySpace profile pic - the one that looks like she's getting ready to conduct a seance. At the time she posted that as her profile pic, her MySpace page touted her beliefs in witchcraft and Wicca. I will guarantee you that at that time, her current love interest was into that kind of trendy thing (magic and illusionists, Criss Angel kind of stuff). She likely was assuming that identity. Then she becomes Queen Mormon when she meets a devout Mormon. Go figure. She is the master of double-life.

Lash... JA wasn't a mormon prior to TA so the state of her beliefs and virginity are up for grabs. It looks like she became a mormon to be with travis but i think he still thought of her as a booty call, not marriage material. He did say she was experienced in bed from something i read. I think he had no problem bringing her into the religion but that didn't mean it was to be with him... from all her other crazy stalker behavior i think she was mad that she was dissed and dismissed and that he moved on so quickly from her..

Amen!

JA seems to be a drifter. A nomad searching for someone to anchor onto. In some small way, as a woman, I feel for her and wished someone had set a better example for her. It's easy to become a doormat when today's society places so much emphasis on sex/sexuality as being the measurement of self-worth for a woman. I wouldn't be surprised if she pulls a Casey Anthony "my dad molested me" kind of defense. Casey also used sex as self-worth measurement and as a ploy to hook men. I haven't seen JA's dad in court although I've seen her mother and aunt. No word from her father.

Don't get me wrong, I don't feel she is justified or a victim, just that I can identify with some of the circumstances. I was stupid and young once. - just not a psychopath murderer! Lol

I know her soft spokeness (if that's even a word) creeps me the hell out...

If TA and friends had been Muslim I'm sure Jodi would have quoted the Qur'an instead of Book of Mormon. It wasn't that it was her own belief system -as that would make her a raging hyprocrit, it's that she used whatever tool she could to manipulate others. For a Mormon, it's using the guilt and shame associated with premarital sex.

This chick is really bizarro!! I'm sure we'll hear more about how whackadoodle her upbringing was. This stuff is learned behavior. Someone else in her family set the tone for deceit and manipulation, as well as aggression.

From the investigative report:
P. 4/20:

"As we waited for other detectives to arrive to assist with the investigation, I received information from Travis' friends at the scene, that Jodi Arias had called them and wanted to know what was going on. She had also mentioned she wanted to talk with the investigating Officers. "

Jodi knew Travis' body had been found BEFORE the LE officially called her.
I have to wonder how she faked surprise over the discovery of Travis' body.
(Interesting she stole his personal journals. Seems she wanted to own his entire life.)

P 8/20: The camera instructions
Zach, a renter at TZ' home, stated he is a photographer; he advised TA to purchase the Sony brand. HHmmm. Jodi states SHE advised TA re the cmera purchase.

P 10/20: Bedding
His bedding was in the dryer. As there was clothing in the washer this would imply JA washed the bedding first, separately, and while it was drying, she proceeded to wash other items including the camera.

Aha! I think I stumbled on to something!!!

The picture of TA sitting on the shower floor?
Not just a foreshadow BUT JA was wanting to see IF TA's body could be placed in the shower after death, would it fit? And if so, how should it be arranged to make it fit?

That is a very tiny shower.

" In addition to borderline personality disorder, women like Arias often meet the criteria for both sociopathy or psychopathy, according to Wendler.

"The characteristics of psychopathy include disregard and violation of other people's feelings, wishes and rights," Wendler told HuffPost. "These individuals use deceitfulness and manipulation to obtain what they want (pleasure, profit, etc.). They are often called pathological liars. They are self-centered and show reckless disregard for the safety of others; they lack empathy towards their victims and have little or no remorse about their criminal actions."

•Jodi Arias is accused of killing her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander, in Arizona
•Arias says she killed Alexander in self-defense
•Correspondence accused woman of 'acts of whoredom'

Travis Alexander’s ex-girlfriend Lisa Andrews told police she thought Jodi Arias was responsible for a threatening email and other harassment. Soon after Alexander died, Andrews told police that she experienced some very hostile behavior from someone she believed to be Arias.

READ FOR YOURSELF: Flores' investigation report

LINK TO ARTICLE: http://www.hlntv.com/article/2013/01/23/woman-arias-invoked-god-nasty-email-me?hpt=hln10_4

From the investigative report:
P. 4/20:

"As we waited for other detectives to arrive to assist with the investigation, I received information from Travis' friends at the scene, that Jodi Arias had called them and wanted to know what was going on. She had also mentioned she wanted to talk with the investigating Officers. "

Jodi knew Travis' body had been found BEFORE the LE officially called her.
I have to wonder how she faked surprise over the discovery of Travis' body.
(Interesting she stole his personal journals. Seems she wanted to own his entire life.)

P 8/20: The camera instructions
Zach, a renter at TZ' home, stated he is a photographer; he advised TA to purchase the Sony brand. HHmmm. Jodi states SHE advised TA re the cmera purchase.

Jodi stalked all his friends online basically (ie she friened all his friends, even the girls he was interested in, MySpace, twitter, etc) that wasn't just for kicks, it was her way to scan the online comments the way people use a police scanner. Likely she saw someone post the shocking news online (as kids are apt to react that way) and she was able to detect real-time when the discovery was made. I'm sure out of the five friends there, they started blowing up the phone lines like crazy and someone offsite likely posted the news immediately and Jodi could see it.

I'm glad you mentioned the stolen journals!! That answers a big question of mine!!

I knew she faked letters to submit to the judge and I knew that she claims she only had electronic copies and that the originals were -oops!- conveniently destroyed. Why does someone only have an electronic copy? Because no original existed and the handwritten words had been cut out an pasted together and put onto a photocopier sort of the way old ransom notes were made. But I kept thinking to myself, she would need ample samples of his handwriting to put that altogether.

And voila!! You solved that puzzle. She DID have ample supply of his original handwriting since she stole his personal journals. I wonder when that occurred because that could prove just who far back she premeditated all this.

P 11/20:
LE notified TA's sister re possession of TA's home;
the sister, Samantha Turbeville, is a police officer out of Carlsbad, CA.

The picture of TA sitting on the shower floor?
Not just a foreshadow BUT JA was wanting to see IF TA's body could be placed in the shower after death, would it fit? And if so, how should it be arranged to make it fit?

That is a very tiny shower.

Don't have it in front of me, but isn't that the photo where he's crouched down and not completely sitting? I've thought of that photo repeatedly. I think it is significant if that is one of the last photo in the series before the camera falls. I ask because I don't think that is a "pose" as NG referred to it. I think she purposefully caused something to drop, bar of soap maybe? - that he would have to pick up. This would put him in the perfect position of vulnerability in which she could attack - it could also explain the knife wounds to his back as he had his back to her in that crouched position.

No, YOU figured it out! I never got the pieces put together! I bet you are so right!!! Here I was trying to figure out just how she would try to copy his handwriting.
You got it!

Now, she was in jail when these "letters" were delivered, right?

Who delivered the letters? Are we sure it was Jodi who did a c/p and not another person? Perhaps, it was another person who also destroyed the journals?

P 11/20:

6/10/2008:
Ok. Here we have TA' body just discovered.
Everyone is outside the home.
Officer is taking statements and waiting for others to arrive to secure scene, etc.
Jodi has called the LE and wants to talk.
Officer calls her back.
Jodi states she has learned of TA's death from a mutual friend, Dan Freemah, on 6/9/2008.

P 14/20: Incident of tire slashing was reported to PD
-- Lisa Andrews: She was the person who had tires slashed and then got the nasty letter from the "John Doe."

This is the letter and I hope my typing is true:
" You are a shameful whore. Your Heavenly Father must be deeply ashamed of the whoredoms you've committed to that insidious man. If you let him stay in your bed one more time, or even sleep under the same roof as him, you will be giving the appearance of evil. You are driving away the Holy Ghost and wasting your time. You are also compromising your salvation and breaking your baptismal covenants. Of all the commandments to break, committing acts of whoredom is one of the most displeasing in the eyes of the Lord. You cannot be ashamed of yourself enough. You are filthy and you need to repeal and become clean in the eyes of God. Think about your future husband and how you disrespect not only yourself, but him, as well as the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Is that what you want for yourself? Your future, your salvation, and your posterity is resting on your choices and actions. You are a daughter of God, and you have been a shameful example. Be thou clean, sin no more. Heavenly Father loves you and wants you to make the right choices. I know you are strong enough to chose the right. Your Father in Heaven is pulling for you. Don't ignore the promptings you receive, because they are vital to your spiritual well-being."

IMO, this is a self-descriptive letter re how Jodi views herself.

Arias judge denies defense motion for mistrial

By Graham Winch
updated 2:10 PM EST, Thu January 24, 2013

•Jodi Arias is accused of killing her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander, in Arizona
•Arias says she killed Alexander in self-defense

Judge Sherry Stephens says Jodi Arias’ trial isn't getting thrown out -- and the felony murder charge against her isn’t going away either.

Stephens denied the defense’s second motion for a mistrial, along with a motion to throw out the felony murder charge.

The defense moved for a mistrial, based on prosecutorial misconduct, claiming Juan Martinez failed to turn over text messages from the cell phone of Arias' murdered ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander

Stephens handed down her order January 17, but it was just released to the public on Thursday. She justified her ruling by pointing out that mistrials should only be granted in extreme circumstances, and this was not one of those instances.
