The Jodi Arias trial is a criminal trial documenting aspiring Arizona photographer Jodi Arias charged in the shooting and stabbing death of her boyfriend, Travis Alexander. On June 4, 2008, 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 ea, and he'd been stabbed 27 times." Arias changed her albi three times, originally telling police that she had not been in the home at the time of Alexander's death.
