Jodi Arias: Should she have received the death penalty? Jury finds Jodi Arias guilty of first-degree murder of Travis Alexander. There is a considerable amount of evidence against her. Jodi's alibi does not prove that she was anywhere else at the time of the murder. Finally, Jodi changed her story a couple of times during the trial. Now the question is: should he receive the death penalty? Here is an overview of the evidence and the decision will be made later. Evidence There seemed to be almost endless evidence against Jodi Arias. Not only did a camera contain images of Travis and Jodi's final sexual encounter on the day of his murder, but it was found in the washing machine of Travis' home in Mesa, Arizona (International Business, Times par. 9). The camera's memory card contained the indicated photos along with some other interesting images. There were “…shots of Alexander in the shower – seconds before he was killed – and photos that appeared to have been taken accidentally when the camera was dropped. One of the images showed Alexander's bloody body..." (par. 9). The most shocking image found on the camera showed the viewer Jodi Arias dragging Travis Alexander to the floor (par. 9). Jodi was also said to have stolen her grandparents' .25 caliber pistol around the time their home was broken into (McLaughlin par.13). Ironically, "In a recording played for the jury, Mesa, Ariz., Detective Esteban Flores, tells Arias, "The gun that was stolen, a .25 caliber auto, appears to be the same caliber used to kill him. "" (Breuer par.6). This fact in itself should make Jodi the number one suspect since she was living with her grandparents at the time of the caliper theft. Jodi's Alibi...half of the paper...was shot in the head and also had his throat slit from ear to ear. Why would intruders harm a man who was supposedly in the shower? Why did they spare Jodi's life but kill Travis so brutally? There can only be one explanation to these questions; Jodi Arias is guilty of the murder of Travis Alexander. The only question that remains now is: Should Jodi Arias receive the death penalty? Karl Kahler wrote an article for the Oakland Tribune stating that Jodi was recorded stating, "I believe death is the ultimate freedom." (Kahler par. 22). That statement was recorded as him asking for the death penalty. Jodi changed her mind and later stated that "she was sincere but lacked perspective" (Kahler par. 5) because "Asking for death is equivalent to committing suicide" (Kahler par. 4). The jury has decided. Jodi Arias will be sentenced to the death penalty.
