In January 2013 the trial begins for Jodi Arias, drawing in unprecedented media and crowds outside the courthouse. But the drama outside was nothing compared to what was unfolding inside the courtroom: a fiery prosecutor and unusual defense makes for soap-opera exchanges every day. All hell breaks loose when Jodi herself takes the stand for the longest defendant testimony in US history, leaving the jurors with a lot to think about.

Jodi Arias is arrested for the murder of Travis Alexander and interrogated by police, in what becomes an extremely odd and bizarre interview from her. She adamantly claims she was not there and would never hurt Travis, but evidence on the digital camera left at the crime scene says otherwise. Jodi begins doing media interviews from jail, where her story changes by the day. She befriends another inmate and confides in her, all before the bombshell trial was set to begin with a twist no one saw coming.

It’s June 2008. While Jodi Arias showed up late on a road trip to a work conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, Travis Alexander never showed up for his trip to Cancun, Mexico. Friends were concerned what happened to both of them, but Jodi eventually made it to Utah. When no one could get ahold of Travis, friends went to his Arizona home to check on him, and made a horrific discovery. The investigation begins, all while Jodi pens erratic and emotional entries in her journal before an arrest is made.
