The Jodi Arias case was among one of the most popular cases in America in 2015. How could someone so innocent looking do such a heinous crime?

A little bit about Jodi: Height: 5'4; Race: Caucasian; Hair: Brown; Eye Color: Brown; Born in 1980 in Salinas, California.

A little bit about Travis: 30 years old, motivational speaker and insurance salesman who was a Riverside Native and Mormon.

Jodi Arias was found guilty of 1st degree murder, brutally murdering her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander in his home, located in Arizona in 2008. Travis' body was found in his bathroom five days after the murder happened. Travis loved the camera, and so did Jodi. They took many photos of each other, including sexual ones. Evidence was found against Jodi when she took photos during Travis' murder. But first, what happened to cause Jodi to pursue such an outrage on Travis?

Jodi and Travis weren't having the most healthy relationship so they decided to break up. Although they were no longer together, they maintained a sexual relationship. Jodi wanted Travis all to herself, together or not. Travis ended up taking a trip and Jodi found out that he had a woman with him. That's what set Jodi off in outrage.

Jodi planned his murder. She waited for Travis to get into the shower as she looked through his phone. She found messages from another female. She went into the bathroom and took pictures of Travis before murdering him. She then struck in outrage without his knowledge. (You can see graphic photos online). Jodi stabbed Travis TWO DOZEN TIMES, followed by SHOOTING HIM IN THE FOREHEAD, then SLITTING HIS THROAT FROM EAR TO EAR. She put the knife in the dishwasher to clean it, in hopes she would not be caught. In January 2013, Jodi's trial lasted about five months, including eighteen days of testimony.

Jodi is known to be a good liar. There are videos to prove Jodi wasn't upset about the murder. (Could it be a mental issue?) Jodi was soon sentenced to LIFE in prison WITHOUT possible parole or appeals.

Jodi Arias isn't keeping a low profile in prison, as she won many hearts. She also has a T.V. in her cell and won an "American Idol" style competition against 50 other cellmates. We could say Jodi is living a "luxury lifestyle" in prison. The Jodi Arias case was so big a movie was brought out on it. Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2787002/
