Perhaps one of the most infamous ladies in modern true crime is Jodi Arias. She sung “O Holy Night” while in police custody, grinned in her mugshot, and was found guilty of first-degree murder in 2013 at the trial of her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander.
Even so, there’s still a lot to learn about the unpredictable Arias in the brand-new two-hour special If I Can’t Have You: The Jodi Arias Story, which begins exclusively streaming on discovery+ today. She seemed to transform overnight from a blonde-haired vixen to a wispy-banged brunette with glasses.
What happened with Jodi Arias?
Despite Arias’ argument, which contended that she killed Alexander in self-defense, a jury found Arias guilty of first-degree murder. Arias was facing the death penalty, but a court instead gave him a life term in jail without the chance of parole following two mistrials.
Arias was brought to the Arizona State Prison Complex, however it is said that he has changed institutions frequently. She reportedly spent time in both Maricopa County Jail and Estrella Jail. She first met Tracy Brown and Donovan Bering in prison, and they later opened up about their time as her roommates in Jodi Arias: Cellmate Secrets on Lifetime.
In recent years, Arias has gained attention less for the crime for which she was found guilty in 2008 and more for engaging in a public battle of wills with a number of the attorneys working on her case.
