"Jodi Arias spared death penalty by 1 vote" Associated Press March 06, 2015
PHOENIX — Jurors who deadlocked on the punishment for convicted murderer Jodi Arias, sparing her life, said Thursday they were 11 to 1 in favor of the death penalty and tried unsuccessfully to get the lone holdout kicked off the panel.
It marked the second time a jury did not reach a unanimous decision on Arias’s sentence — a disappointment for prosecutors who argued for the death penalty during a nearly seven-year legal battle. It means the judge will sentence Arias on April 13 to either life in prison or a life term with the possibility of release after 25 years.
Arias was convicted of killing her lover, Travis Alexander, in 2008 by shooting him in the head and slitting his throat so deeply that he was nearly decapitated. Her 2013 trial became a media sensation with its tawdry revelations about her relationship with Alexander and about the manner of this death, from nearly 30 stab wounds.
After the judge declared a mistrial Thursday, jurors said that Arias lacked remorse and that her lawyers presented an inaccurate portrayal of Alexander’s life.
