Jodi Arias: Is Convicted Killer Readying New ‘Strategy’ to Get Out of Prison?
Share this @internewscast.com

Convicted killer Jodi Arias may be planning a new appeal of her 2013 conviction for killing her ex-boyfriend.

At 45, Arias is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole in an Arizona prison for the 2008 murder of Travis Alexander. Recently, she has started selling her artwork from behind bars and has introduced a blog on Substack.

On Substack, she wrote — in a post discussing how stories of her allegedly flirting with corrections officers are just “juicy lies” — that “Currently, my priorities are PCR (post-conviction relief), my art, and writing, including some manuscripts that might or might not ever see publication.”

This single statement in the June 27 post led to some excited reports suggesting Arias might be planning a new “strategy” to secure her release. While most of Arias’ Substack content requires a subscription, this particular post was accessible to everyone.

Despite previous unsuccessful appeals, Arias has been open about her desire to be released. She states that proceeds from her artwork are used to support future appeals.

In Arizona, a PCR proceeding can follow the exhaustion of direct appeals and could be used with new evidence or to challenge constitutional issues.

In 2008, Arias drove to her ex-boyfriend’s home and murdered him in cold blood, leaving overwhelming evidence behind. Alexander, 30, was discovered dead in his shower with severe injuries, including a slit throat, a gunshot wound to the head, and multiple stab wounds on his back and body.

The prosecution cited jealousy and anger as the main motives. During her 2013 trial, they argued that Arias had become increasingly agitated after Travis ended their relationship and rejected her attempts to reconcile. Her rage intensified upon learning that Travis was seeing someone new.

Juries struggled to decide on the punishment after Arias’  May 7, 2013, conviction for first-degree murder. A judge ultimately handed down the life sentence in 2015 when juries twice deadlocked between life and death.

In 2014, following a restitution hearing, Arias was ordered to pay more than $32,000 to Travis’ family.

Arias began working as an aide in the prison library in 2022 and was assigned this month to work programs with the prison band and choir, jail records show.
