Jodi Arias TRIAL UPDATE: Mistrial, MURDER, GUILT, NANCY GRACE & More

By Geno McGahee

The trial of Jodi Arias, 32, has captured the imagination of the public. Her boyfriend, Travis Alexander, 30, was brutally murdered with a mixture of stabbing and a gunshot. It was a “crime of passion,” but the defense of Arias is doing what they often do in cases like this. They are putting the victim on trial. Was he a woman abuser? Did Arias act in self defense? For the pathological liar that Arias seems to be, this approach seems like a stretch, and popular Court TV host, Nancy Grace, is taking every opportunity to point it out. Grace must be pleased that this case has come along. The Casey Anthony “Tot Mom” case brought in amazing ratings for Grace. This is not the attraction that Anthony was, but the people are compelled.

The Defense has filed a motion for mistrial for an unspecified conduct from a juror. They will also accept the dismissal of the juror, which seems likely at this point.

Arias, if convicted of first degree murder, could get the death penalty. Stay tuned for more updates…
