After nearly five years, the unusual first-degree murder case involving Jodi Arias, who was accused of killing her one-time boyfriend, closed Wednesday when jurors issued a guilty verdict.
Travis Alexander, a motivational speaker and salesman, was killed June 2008 at his suburban Phoenix, Arizona, home. Authorities said Arias planned the attack in a jealous rage after being rejected by the victim while he pursued other women.
Arias initially denied involvement and later blamed the killing on masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, she said she killed Alexander in self-defense.
Jurors got the case Friday afternoon. They reached a decision late Wednesday morning. The guilty verdict was announced after 4:30 EST.
