PHOENIX — The jury in the case of convicted murderer Jodi Arias continued deliberations Thursday to decide if she will be sentenced to death or life in prison for killing her boyfriend. The jury got the case Wednesday after a defense lawyer made his final plea for mercy in the killing that grabbed global attention over the violent nature of the crime. The 2013 trial of Arias was broadcast live and became a sensation with its tawdry revelations that Arias had shot and slit the throat of her on-again-off-again boyfriend Travis Alexander. Arias, now 34, was convicted then of killing Alexander.
