On Tuesday Jodi Arias admitted that she had lied to investigators. The 32-year-old Arizona woman is currently on trial for the 2008 murder of her boyfriend Travis Alexander; she is accused of stabbing Alexander twenty-seven times, slitting his throat, and shooting him in the forehead, leaving his body in his Phoenix home to be found five days later. Initially, Arias denied any knowledge of the killing. Then, her story changed and she blamed the murder on “masked intruders.” Now Arias is claiming that she murdered Alexander in self-defense.
