This case is all over the US media. It of course helps the defendant is a pretty white female along with some salacious details.

For those not familiar Jodi Arias is accused of first degree murder in Arazona. A capital punishment offence. Alleged to have murdered her former boyfriend in a a jealous rage in Arazona, slitting his throat, stabbing him multiple times in the torso and shooting him. Than she left the house and drove out of the state to hang out with her new boyfriend.
In her police interview her story changed from not been on the scene that day, to having been on but left, there were intruders robbing the house to self defense after he got angry about her dropping a camera. The story's changing coincided with evidence of her in photographs and timing suggesting the alleged intruders did not have time to inflict the wounds.
In order to prove pre meditation the prosecution have shown the bullet wound to match a style of gun reported stolen from her grandparents home in California while she was staying with them.
Jodi denies using her grandparents gun and no weapons used have been located.
interestingly however the huff post opinion piece above suggests the jurors mid case questions after the prosecution suggest there is an element of doubt with the jurors, some hope for Jodi perhaps that the lethel injection wont be used and a downgrade charge could even see her walk out of prison one day.
Anyone convinced either way of her guilt or innocence of the charge she's defending?
