In the season finale, Jodi Arias sends true crime correspondent Briana Whitney a personal email, all while running an exclusive blog from prison keeping everyone up to date on her life. For the first time in many years, she addresses her case - where her appeal stands now and key players she claims wronged her.

After months in the courtroom in 2013, the jury must decide if Jodi Arias is guilty of murdering Travis Alexander in cold blood or self-defense. But that isn’t the only decision they have to make. The case takes a dramatic turn when Travis’ family and Jodi herself address the jury about the potential of a death sentence. Two jurors take us behind-the-scenes revealing what was said during the hours in the deliberation room.

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. 

In 2006, a young entrepreneur Travis Alexander was living in Mesa, Arizona and met a girl he was interested in at a work conference: Jodi Arias. The two would begin an on-and-off relationship for years riddled with sex and guilty pleasures, something they kept a secret due to Travis’ Mormon faith. Their toxic chemistry led to strained friendships, odd behaviors, and concern from their loved ones. When friends thought Jodi and Travis were done and both had moved on, a missed call changes everything.
