The death of Travis Alexander on June 4, 2008, resulted in the opening of a 2012 criminal trial in which Jodi Arias was charged in relation to the shooting and stabbing death of her boyfriend, Travis Alexander.
Death details
Alexander's friends discovered his dead body in a shower of his home, he had been shot in the face, his throat was slit from ear to ear, and he had been stabbed 29 times. Arias changed her account of her whereabouts three times, originally telling police that she had not been in the home at the time of Alexander's death. She later told police that two people had broken into Alexander's home, and that they murdered him and attacked her. Finally, she stated that she killed Alexander in self-defense. The trial began on January 2, 2013, and has been compared to the Casey Anthony case for the perceived similarities between Anthony and Arias, and the emotions the cases incite in the general public. The Huffington Post says that Arias "instantly commanded headlines around the world, especially after details became public".
