Jodi Arias, convicted in 2013 for the brutal murder of her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander, may be preparing to pursue another legal challenge to her conviction. 

Nearly a decade after her high-profile trial, Arias, now 45, remains behind bars at Arizona’s Perryville state women’s prison, serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the 2008 killing.

Recently, Arias has reemerged in the public eye through prison-created artwork sales and a new blog on Substack. 

In a June 27 post, Arias dismissed tabloid rumors that she flirts with prison staff, calling the claim “a juicy lie.”

Prosecutors argued that the crime was fueled by jealousy and rage. 

During the 2013 trial, prosecutors said Arias was furious after Alexander ended their relationship and began seeing someone new, rejecting her attempts to rekindle their romance.

After her conviction on May 7, 2013, jurors were unable to reach a unanimous decision on her sentence, not once, but twice. As a result, in 2015, a judge sentenced her to life in prison.

In 2014, Arias was ordered to pay over $32,000 in restitution to Alexander’s family following a court hearing.

Since 2022, Arias has held a job as a library aide at the prison and, more recently, was assigned to assist with music programs, including the prison band and choir, according to jail records.

Arias is currently serving a life sentence at the Perryville state women’s prison located in Goodyear, Arizona, with no possibility of parole. According to public records, she is housed in a medium-low security unit, classified under a lower “custody class” within the facility.
