Travis Alexander's friend Miek Bertot provided Dr. Drew On Call with these photos of Alexander with friends and colleagues at a convention in Oklahoma City in 2006.
In just 19-minutes Tuesday, Jodi Arias asked the jury to spare her life, contrary to previous statements she had made in television interviews regarding her preference to the death penalty.
“I didn't know that if I got life, there are many things I can do to affect positive change and contribute in a meaningful way,” the 32-year-old convicted murderer told jurors.
She presented a slideshow of her family and childhood, said she would establish a book club and recycling program in prison. And she held up a T-shirt with the word "Survivor" on it, telling jurors she'd sell the shirts to raise money for domestic abuse victims.
Court watchers were caught by surprise Monday when Jodi Arias’ attorney Kirk Nurmi announced that the defense would not be presenting any witnesses during the death penalty phase of the trial.
That now leaves the 32-year-old convicted murderer herself to try persuade jurors on her sentencing.
Surprising developments in the Jodi Arias trial this morning: No defense witnesses are going to testify on her behalf; not her mother, not her sister, not her siblings.
Court was adjourned for the day after Arias' attorneys asked again to be let off the case. Is this another stall tactic from Arias? Dr. Drew and his guests will discuss it.
