it was a shocking trial, revealing details of stabbing, stalking and secrets. now five years after jodi arias killed her boyfriend, after months of riveting testimony, her freedom is in the jury's hands, and maybe her life. tonight, you be the jury. watch the testimony and weigh the evidence yourself. we want to warn you, it is graphic, both the images and the language, and may be too explicit for younger viewers. reporting for us tonight, "ac 360's" randi kaye. >> reporter: a sorted story of sex, lies -- >> i'm not guilty. >> reporter: -- and audio tapes.

>> certainly the best times are when we did just go for a freaking romp session. >> reporter: transfixing the nation as the trial of jodi arias draws to a close. >> this is a case, this is a story, this is a criminal defendant unlike any other we've ever met before. jodi arias, beautiful, young woman, accused of brutally murdering her ex-boyfriend, travis alexander, a young guy. they seemingly had this great sexual relationship, but then she stabs him 29 times, almost decapitates him, shoots him in the head? >> reporter: this tale of passion gone wrong has already cost travis alexander his life, but will it cost jodi arias hers? their relationship began innocently enough in, of all places, sin city. >> we were there for a convention. our company had had a big event there. i was there in las vegas with

him. >> reporter: travis alexander was a motivational speaker, compelling and effective. he was also a close friend and co-worker of david hughes in the fall of 2006. >> and i knew that he was single and he was always looking for miss alexander. >> reporter: enter saleswoman and aspiring photographer jodi arias. >> and i told travis, hey, there's this cute girl that i work with, you should meet her. and he goes, "introduce me!" i introduced them and they were able to develop a relationship pretty quickly from there. >> they met in vegas. the night they met, it seemed that things heated up very quickly, because jodi arias has said within a week or so, they're having sex in the car. >> reporter: jodi and travis had an instant physical connection, a whirlwind romance, but a long-distance one with her in

palm desert, california, and him five hours away in mesa, arizona. still, that wouldn't slow them down. shana hogan is the author of "picture perfect" about the jodi arias case. >> from the very beginning, travis and jodi were almost in constant communication. they talked every day. they exchanged thousands of e-mails and text messages. >> reporter: jodi was so attracted to travis that she converted to the church of latter-day saints because travis was a mormon. >> she started to inquire more about the lds faith and ended up joining the church, which i'm sure that brought their relationship, made it even stronger. >> reporter: to outsiders, travis and jodi appeared devout, a pure mormon couple, but appearances, as was often the case with these two, would prove deceiving. >> secretly behind the scenes, travis and jodi's relationship was not pure, it wasn't chase. they had this intense sexual

relationship that they kept hidden from everyone. >> reporter: but jodi couldn't keep everything hidden, especially from travis's longtime friends, many of whom found his new love a bit odd and a bit troubling. >> we don't like jodi coming over to our home, we feel very uncomfortable with her at home. >> reporter: david hughes recalls a chilling encounter between his brother, his sister-in-law and jodi arias. >> while they're having this conversation trying to convince travis to break up with her, she is right outside the upstairs door listening to the whole conversation, and she walked in and she just had this face on like she was the devil, and she was going to commit a murder right then and there. >> right away, travis's friends were concerned. it was clear that she liked him a lot more than he liked her. travis wanted a normal life. jodi wanted to be with him more than anything, and it was extremely unhealthy bond that

they shared. >> reporter: and a normal, healthy life was something travis had wanted desperately since growing up in riverside, california. >> travis's childhood was full of poverty, neglect, physical violence. >> his parents were both addi addicted to drugs, and so, he wasn't raised by his parents. he was eventually, his grandmother is the one that raised him, but yeah, it was a tough upbringing. >> reporter: jodi, too, has said she didn't have it easy growing up, that she was no stranger to abuse. >> she grew up being very artistic. she played the flute. she had a lot of brothers and sisters and was very close with them all. so, jodi's childhood was fairly ideal compared to travis's, but she does describe like incidences of physical violence. >> reporter: jodi and travis burned red hot, at least for a while, but by the summer of 2007, their relationship had cooled, in part because of jodi's increasing jealousy over travis's interests in other

women. >> jodi went through his phone and discovered these flirty messages to other women and she decided to end their relationship at that point, but at the same time, travis was looking to end the relationship. >> reporter: jodi and travis did break up, but that didn't mean they weren't still friends with benefits. >> clearly, jodi enjoyed her sexual life with travis, but it must have been tormenting. in her diary, jodi writes about how she loves travis so fully and completely that she doesn't know any other way to be. he was just her entire focus and she was extremely obsessed with him. >> so obsessed, apparently, that jodi never took her eye off of travis, no matter how far apart they were. >> i absolutely know that she was stalking him many times, just like when she went in through the back door when he was kissing another girl on his couch. i mean, she's spying on him. that's what's really happening there. >> she slashed his tires, she broke into his e-mail account,

she hacked into his facebook page, she broke into his house and stole his journals, she read his diary. she just did these crazy, stalking behaviors. >> jodi has long denied stalking travis. then on june 4th, 2008, she made one last visit to her estranged lover's home, arriving in the wee hours of the morning. >> travis is there, according to her, and he's online, and they go to sleep. but when they wake up, then they get back to what travis and jodi always do, which is engage in sex. and they didn't just engage in sex, they brought cameras into play. travis taking pictures of jodi, jodi taking pictures of travis. neither one of them wearing any clothes. but it's what they do, it's what they've always done since they met. coming up, a sex-fueled afternoon explodes into an orgy of violence. like you're growing old

monday, june 9th, 2008, 90 minutes until midnight in a mesa, arizona, community called mountain ranch. nobody had heard from travis alexander in five days, so a handful of concerned friends went looking for him. >> through another friend, they get the code to the garage. they go inside the house. it smells. there's a foul odor hanging in

the air. >> they found their friend pale and lifeless on the shower floor. >> 911 emergency. >> a friend of ours is dead in his bedroom. we hadn't heard from him for a while. his roommates just went in there and said there's lots of blood. >> travis's body had nearly 29 stab marks, including the slash across his neck from ear to ear. there was a .25-caliber gunshot wound over his right eyebrow and massive amounts of blood all over the master suite, soaked into the bedroom carpet and splattered all over the bathroom, the sink, the mirror, the floor. his friends had immediate suspicions about who did it. >> had he been threatened by anyone recently? >> yes, he has. he has an ex-girlfriend that's been bothering him and following him and slashing tires and things like that. her name is jodi. >> but when investigators reached jodi by phone, she

insisted she'd been nowhere near mesa for months. this was version one of her story. >> that was around april that you last saw him, right? >> early april. >> you haven't been back in town since then? >> no, i haven't at all. >> as the phone call ended, jodi offered a final thought. >> what if? what if i had just gone down there? what if i had never moved and i would have been there and i could have come help? >> but investigators were able to place jodi at the crime scene, thanks to a handprint, hair and travis's camera, discovered in his washing machine. >> can you imagine when the police found that camera and they said, oh, the camera's been destroyed, it's been through the washing machine, but they take that little memory card and they find these photos? and detective flores, you know, got the call. you're not going to believe this, what we've got. >> the memory card survived the wash. >> the memory card survived the wash.

>> those photos lay out a timeline. at 5:30 p.m., jodi uses the camera to take the last picture of travis alive. he's in the showever. >> she's taking pictures of him and probably said to him, oh, let me get a picture of you seated, because she needed to level the playing field. she's able to stab him in the heart. >> investigators say there is a struggle in the bathroom, and then jodi follows travis into his bedroom. >> he falls. maybe he's on his hands and knees. and that's when she did the cue degrass across his neck, then turned him over and turned him around and dragged him down the hall. >> this is at 5:32 p.m. it is one of three accidental photos taken after the last shower picture. prosecutors will later claim it's jodi's leg over travis's upper body as she prepares to drag him back to the showever.

>> what if i could show you proof you were there? >> i wasn't there. >> you need to be honest with me, jodi. >> i was not at travis's house. i was not. >> you were at travis's house and you guys had a sexual encounter, which there's pictures. >> are you sure those pictures aren't from another time? >> positive. absolutely positive. >> by now, it was july. jodi was in police custody, but she was still sticking to version number one. >> this is absolutely over. you need to tell me the truth. >> listen, the truth is, i did not hurt travis, okay. so -- >> jodi, you can continue to do this, okay? a records check shows you have reported a gun stolen, .25 auto,

just happens to be the same caliber as the weapon used to kill him. >> a .25 auto was used to kill travis? >> mm-hmm. >> during that same interview, there was this, yoga moves, stretches, and even a headstand. >> i believe it tells you that jodi arias is trying to get comfortable in that room, and she's not able to get comfortable because she has to change her story, because investigators have more evidence than she thought they were going to have. >> the same day, detectives her mother, sandra, was emotional and shocked. >> i just, i can't even imagine. and my -- god, i can't, i just can't even think about it. how could she come back here and be normal, and then when her friends called her and told her that he died, she totally

freaked out, like she knew nothing about it. i mean, how could somebody do that? >> her father, bill, less surprised. >> later on, she kept telling me she was going to leave, leave the area. i go, why? she said, i can't tell you what's going on, but all i know is i've got to leave. and i go, why? she goes, because i might be blamed for something. i go, what? >> both agreed on one important thing. >> jodi has mental problems. jodi would freak out all the time. i had quite a few of her friends call me and tell me that i needed to get her some help. >> i told her one time when she called me and started yelling, i said you know what? have you ever thought of yourself as being bipolar? oh, my god, she cried, she cried hysterically. >> this is his shower. he's sitting here. >> the very next day, jodi decided to change her story to version two. >> she talked about two intruders coming into the house and they attacked travis and they were attacking her and she gets wounded in the incident, and he's being stabbed and he's

yelling and he's screaming and telling her, go to the neighbors and get help. >> they didn't discuss much. they just argued. >> about what? >> about whether or not to kill me. >> for what reason? >> because i'm a witness. >> a witness of what? >> him, of travis. >> of travis's murder? >> jodi took version two to the court of public opinion months later on the show "inside edition." >> i witnessed travis being attacked by two other individuals. >> who? >> i don't know who they were. i couldn't pick them out in a police lineup. >> and she made this bold prediction. >> no jury is going to convict me. >> why not? >> because i'm innocent and you can mark my words on that one. >> then in 2010, two years after the murder, jodi's lawyers file a shocking court document indicating jodi will change her story yet again. she would finally admit to killing travis but claim it was

self-defense. >> story one -- i wasn't there! i wasn't there. what are you talking about? version number two -- all right, yeah, i was there, but there were these two ninjas that came in and they killed travis and they threatened to kill me, and i was able to get out of there. story three -- i was there and i did it but i did it in self-defense because travis was going to kill me. coming up, the trial. jodi takes the stand to give her side of the story. >> he called me a bitch and he kicked me in the ribs. the sleep number bed conforms to you. i wake up in the morning with no back pain. i can adjust it if i need to...if my back's a little more sore. and by the time i get up in the morning, i feel great! if you have back pain, toss and turn at night or wake up tired with no energy, the sleep number bed could be your solution. the sleep number bed's secret is it's air chambers which provide ideal support and put you in control of the firmness.

the state of arizona versus jodi ann arias, indictment count i, first-degree murder, premeditated murder. >> it's been more than four years since friends discovered travis alexander's dead body crumpled up in his bathroom shower. >> jodi arias killed travis alexander. there is no question about it. the million-dollar question is what would have forced her to do it? >> after telling two different stories about her innocence, jodi now admitted under oath she was the killer. >> did you kill travis alexander on june 4th, 2008? >> yes, i did. >> but she denied the charge against her, that she had planned travis's murder.

>> why? >> the simple answer is that he attacked me and i defended myself. >> she pled not guilty, claiming self-defense, that she was forced to kill travis. >> in just those two minutes jodi had to make a choice. she would either live or she would die. >> in a death penalty case, you want sympathy, you need an explanation for the defendant's actions and what they did. >> the defense's explanation was to blame the victim. >> that's what they have to do in a self-defense case. >> "in session's" beth karas has been in the courtroom every day of the trial. >> they have to blame the victim. they're saying, look, he was attacking me, he was about to kill me. i had no choice. her problem is that, you know, self-defense says you can use force when you are being threatened, but you have to use equal force. >> the defense called witnesses,

including a close friend. >> the defense calls desiree freeman. >> to try and shatter the image of travis as the pure mormon man. >> in your religion, is premarital sex allowed? >> no. >> did travis claim to be a virgin? >> yes, he did. >> did he seem happy to be a virgin? >> yes. >> and did he seem proud? >> yes. >> travis alexander, there's no question he was conflicted. he was trying to be a good mormon and probably was, except when it came to jodi arias, she would have sex with him and they kept it a secret. but if this got out, it would hurt his standing in his church, in his social circle, it might have hurt him professionally. >> jodi was, in the words of her defense attorney, travis's dirty little secret, something he vividly demonstrated in this lurid phone call. >> you, you were hot.

start touching yourself. >> when you hear this call, it's important to hear the difference, the difference between the type of person travis portrayed himself to be versus the things he said on this recorded call. >> that was so hot. that actually, so, like the way you moan sounds, like, sounds like a 12-year-old girl having her first organism. so hot. >> jodi's attorneys argue that travis was just the last in a long line of people, family and boyfriends who had physically and mentally abused jodi. >> it appears their strategy was that everything that happened in her life from her childhood and through all the relationships with men culminated in this killing. >> your life was pretty ideal up

until about age 7. something different after age 7, or -- >> i think that's the first year my dad started using a belt. >> jodi told the court that her brawny father inflicted great pain. >> as i became a teenager, my dad would get rougher and rougher. he would just shove me into furniture, sometimes into the piano or things like that, into tables, chairs, desks, whatever was around. he would just push me really hard and i would go flying into that. >> and with her mother looking on from the front row, jodi also accused her of being abusive. >> my mom began to carry a wooden spoon in her purse. if we were misbehaving, she would use it on us. >> what do you mean by use it on you? >> she would hit us with it. >> she hit you hard? >> it felt pretty hard, yes. >> jodi portrayed herself as the

victim of a string of bad choices when it came to men, describing one abusive relationship after another, especially travis alexander, admitting that she loved him, despite his being what she described as demeaning, physically abusive and controlling. >> he body-slammed me on the floor at the foot of his bed. he called me a bitch and he kicked me in the ribs, and that hurt for real. >> a somber jodi recalled that the day travis baptized her, what was supposed to be a new beginning turned out to be more of the same. >> i was in my church clothes, he was in his church clothes. the kissing got more passionate, more intense, and then he spun me around and, um, he bent me

over the bed and he was just atop of me. i didn't think anything was -- i thought he was just going to keep kissing me. he began to have anal sex with me and -- >> after this encounter on this spiritual day, how did you feel about yourself? >> after he left, shortly after he left, i felt -- i didn't feel very good. i kind of felt like a used piece of toilet paper. >> for the victim's family sitting in the courtroom, the portrayal of an allegedly domineering and sexual travis was difficult to hear. >> do me a favor and take a look at this exhibit, see if you recognize it. >> text messages from travis appearing to treat jodi as his sex slave. >> he says that this "photoshoot is gonna be one of the best

experiences" of your life and his. he also says "you'll rejoice in being a whor ee that's sole purpose is to be mine to have animal sex with and to please me in any way i desire." >> jodi even accused travis of being a pedophile. >> i walked in and travis was on the bed masturbating. he started grabbing at something on the bed, and i realized they were papers. and as he was grabbing the papers, one kind of went sailing off the bed and it was a picture of a little boy. >> the defense is trying literally to trash travis. >> you were still willing to be tied to a tree, if that's what he wanted. >> attack his character. >> assertive, aggressive and authoritative. >> make the jury dislike him. >> he said i looked like a pure whore. >> hate him, loath him, because

he's the bad guy, he's the evil-door, evil evil-doer, he's the pedophile, he's the sexual deviant. this guy's bad news and he's the one who ruined jodi arias's life. he's the one that made her do it. >> to the defense, it was travis the monster, jodi his victim. but to the prosecution, it was all an unsustainable lie. >> when do you decide to tell the truth, when you're in this court and no place else, is that what i'm hearing from you? >> no. coming up, the prosecutor goes on the attack. >> just because you're in this court doesn't mean you have to tell the truth. i mean, that's what you're telling us, right? >> that's not what i'm telling anyone. ncer: you never know when, but thieves can steal your identity and turn your life upside down. >> hi. >> hi. you know, i can save you 15% today if you open up a charge card account with us. >> you just read my mind. >> announcer: just one little piece of information and they can open bogus accounts, stealing your credit, your money and ruining your reputation.

no jury is going to convict me. >> why not? >> because i'm innocent, and you can mark my words on that one. no jury will convict me. i made that statement in september 2008, i believe it was, and at the time, i had plans to commit suicide, so i was extremely confident that no jury would convict me because i didn't expect any of you to be here. >> and that's you saying that you're going to not be convicted because you're going to commit suicide. >> that's correct. >> you're saying that you're

innocent, right? >> yes. >> and you believe that no jury would convict you because you were going to lie your way out of it, right? >> no. >> argumentive. >> sustained. >> jodi arias has since admitted to killing travis alexander but claimed it was a justified, split-second decision to save her own life. >> the road to the death penalty here is paved with premeditation. that's what the prosecution has to prove. so, where do they go for premeditation. >> for starters, prosecutor juan martinez goes to what he says was jodi's attempt at a cover-up, like renting a less conspicuous rental car for the drive to travis's house. >> you didn't want the color red, correct? >> yes. >> the color red seems to stand out, doesn't it? >> i don't know. i just heard they get more tickets. >> right. and so, it had to do with the police department, right? you did not want to stand out. >> borrowing gas cans from a

former boyfriend. >> the gas cans. she didn't want to leave any trace behind that she was ever in arizona, because story number one was i wasn't there. so, she fills the gas cans up with gas so she doesn't have to stop at any gas stations in arizona. >> and just hours after killing travis, calling his cell phone and leaving a message. >> this is exhibit number 365. >> my phone died, so i wasn't getting back to anybody. and what else? oh, i drove 100 miles in the wrong direction, over 100 miles, thank you very much, so, yeah. remember new mexico? it was a lot like that, only you weren't here to prevent me from going into the three digits, so fun. tell y'all about that later. >> the reason you went to great lengths to do that is because if there was any suspicion, it wouldn't be drawn to you, correct? >> not immediately. that was the point, yes. >> right. you wanted the police to look elsewhere, right? >> i guess.

>> and so, you called mr. alexander and you left him a message, right? >> yes. >> but despite her early efforts at a cover-up, jodi now took the jury through the grisly details of the killing, starting when she dropped travis's new camera. >> at that point, travis flipped out again. he stood up and he stepped out of the shower and he picked me up as he was screaming that i was a stupid idiot, and he body-slammed me again on the tile. he told me that a 5-year-old can hold a camera better than i can. when i hit the tile, i rolled over on the side and started running down the hallway. so, i ran into the closet and i slammed the door. >> then, jodi reached for

a .25-caliber gun. she said travis kept on the shelf. >> i grabbed the gun. i ran out of the closet. he was chasing me. i turned around. we were in the middle of the bathroom. i pointed it at him with both of my hands. i thought that would stop him. if someone were pointing a gun at me, i would stop, but he just kept running. he got, like a linebacker, he got kind of low and grabbed my waist. before he did that, as he was lunging at me, the gun went off. >> there is zero evidence, independent evidence, evidence other than words out of jodi arias's mouth that established travis alexander as a gun owner. there is none. >> your grandfather also had guns, didn't he? >> prosecutor juan martinez's theory was that one week before killing travis, jodi had staged a burglary at the home she

shared with her grandparents. >> you heard what items were taken, including a .25-caliber handgun. you heard that, right? >> yes, i heard that. >> prosecutors were questioning this burglary because they believe the .25-caliber gun that was allegedly stolen from her grandfather's house, was actually the gun used by jodi arias to shoot travis alexander. >> when travis's body was found in the shower, there was only one bullet wound but almost 30 knife wounds, and he'd nearly been decapitated, an unforgettable scene that jodi claims she doesn't remember. >> i have no memory of stabbing him. i was in the bathroom. i remember dropping the knife, and it clanged to the tile. it made a big noise, and i just remember screaming. i don't remember anything after that.

there's a lot of that day that i don't remember. there are a lot of gaps. like, i don't know if i blacked out or what. there's a huge gap. >> she had such memory recall of things from years before, details of meals and how many people were in the elevator and what happened on this date and what kind of sex she had on that date, and when it came to slicing and stabbing travis alexander 29 times, she had no recollection. >> are you saying that you're having a hard time remembering things that are happening now that you've shot him? >> yes. >> so, it appears, then, that your memory becomes faulty immediately upon you shooting him. >> yeah, things get very foggy from there. >> that's, immediately -- the shot takes him down and it creates a fog for you, is that what you're saying? >> it begins to create a fog. >> a psychologist for the defense testified that the fog was caused by the stress of

travis's attack. >> it appears as if she suffers from disassociative amnesia. and according to the research, the more intense the trauma, the more likely and the more complete the amnesia. >> dr. samuels said jodi's a. amnesia was caused by jodi's post-traumatic stress disorder, ptsd. another defense expert testified that jodi was a victim of domestic violence. >> given everything that you have reviewed, that you've read in this case, that you've seen, do you have an opinion, an ultimate opinion, in your expertise, about whether or not miss arias was in an abusive relationship? >> yes, i believe she was in an abusive relationship. >> and do you believe, in your expert opinion, that jodi was a battered woman or is a battered woman? >> yes, i do. >> but martinez tore into the defense experts. >> i'm sorry, i don't see it that way. >> right, you wouldn't see it that way because you have

feelings for the defendant, right? >> i beg your pardon, sir. >> you seem to be having trouble answering my question. >> i have trouble -- okay. >> if you have a problem understanding the question, ask me that. me that. if you want to --

try capzasin-hp. it penetrates deep to block pain signals for hours of relief. capzasin-hp. take the pain out of arthritis.

borderline personality disorder. >> what does that mean? >> you can think of it similar to what we see in teenagers often. this sense of immaturity. there's unstable interpersonal relationships, unstable emotions and an unstable sense of identity, meaning who am i as a person? there's this constant fluctuation. there's a lot of manipulation. >> the defense attempted to discredit the diagnosis by calling one last witness. >> do you have an opinion as to whether or not dr. demarte has an understanding of how to administer these tests and make a diagnosis? >> yes. >> what is that opinion? >> she does not appear to have either an adequate understanding of their uses or their interpretation or the actual ways those tests are to be used. >> finally, closing arguments.

>> the key for the prosecution is premeditation. premeditation in this case is the road to first-degree, which is what then puts this case into the death penalty phase, premeditation, that she reflected upon her plan to kill travis alexander. doesn't have to take a week, doesn't have to take a month, it can just be a moment, but he has to prove that jodi arias planned the killing, had time to reflect on it and then acted upon that plan. >> this individual, the defendant, jodi ann arias, killed travis alexander. and even after stabbing him over and over again, and even after slashing his throat from ear to ear, and then even after taking a gun, shooting him in the face, she will not let him rest in peace. but no, instead of a gun,

instead of a knife, she uses lies, and she uses these lies in court when she testified. she's an individual who is manipulative. this is an individual who wants to play victim. >> juan martinez's close argume argument's clear theme is manipulation, that jodi arias manipulates everybody, including the members of the jury by lying to them, lying to travis, lying to investigators. that's a theme throughout. >> then it was the defense's turn with kirk mirney making their case. >> it's not even about whether or not you like jodi arias. nine days out of ten, i don't like jodi arias. >> anything less than first degree is a victory for the defense here. so, what you want to play is obviously their story of self-defense, that something happened in the heat of passion between these two people who at one time were linked as lorz.

>> jodi arias says travis alexander yelled at her for dropping the camera. he called her stupid. he says "even a 5-year-old could hold a camera," and then he jumps out and then he attacks, and then he holds her down. and she remembers that on a previous occasion when he held her down, he had choked her to the point where she lost consciousness. she feared that it might go farther. this time was different. he was angry. he was angry in a different way. she was in reasonable fear that he was going to end her life. >> as 12 jurors begin to deliberate behind closed doors, perhaps they've already provided us with a clue to what they contemplate while deciding the fate of jodi arias. >> after all the lies you have

told, why should we believe you now? >> it's been four months that this jury has listened to witness after witness. they've asked questions. they've heard arguments, but now it's all in their hands. now for the first time, this jury is in control of this trial. this jury will decide what happens to jodi arias.

well, you heard the testimony, you looked into her eyes. what did you see? what do you think? as for what the jury thinks, what the jury decides, stay tuned and thanks for watching this "anderson cooper special report."
