Despite facing the death penalty, convicted murderer Jodi Arias is said to be doing well even as the date of the second penalty phase trail approaches. The trail is set to begin on September 29, even though the start date has been pushed back several times, presiding Judge Sherry Stephens has warned Jodi Arias and her representation that the second penalty phase will not suffer any additional set backs.
Adding to the antics and overall interest in the ever-persistent Jodi Arias trail is the official Jodi Arias Twitter account. The social media account which updates it’s 75,000 followers on the convicted murderer’s daily life, also serves to promote the sale of her art work which she says she has been a large part of her since she was a child. The Twitter account has revealed that Jodi is in a good mood ahead of the jury selection, stating, “I spoke to Jodi this afternoon on the phone; she is in great spirits and is receiving relief from her migraines with new medication.” A Jodi Arias supporter, who took over tweeting duties earlier this year, after Arias stopped updating followers regularly, runs the account. “Jodi says hello to all her supporters and thanks everyone for their good wishes,” it added.
After relinquishing the right to represent herself, it seems that Jodi is again confident in her case despite the prosecution vying for the looming death penalty. Jodi Arias has decided to auction of the glasses that she wore through the 2013 trial, in which the jury convicted her of murdering her former boyfriend Travis Alexander. Alexander sustained multiple stab wounds, a slit throat, and a gunshot to the head in his Mesa, Arizona home. The starting bid for the glasses is a staggering $500, however the listing is enticing potential bidders by stating, “Get ready to own a one-of-a kind piece of history.” The website also confirms that the proceeds of the auction will go to a still unnamed Phoenix-based nonprofit.
