Maybe the most compelling argument in favor of moving forward is that Travis Alexander's heartbroken family seems to want her to face the death penalty.
While that should be a consideration, and I have great sympathy for this family who handled themselves with poise and grace as Arias shamelessly attacked Travis, they don't, and shouldn't get to make that decision.
This is the people of the state of Arizona versus Jodi Arias and so the district attorney, not the family, represents the people. Prosecutors already proved that Jodi Arias is cunning, dangerous and evil. So now this sentencing re-trial runs the risk of engendering some level of sympathy for Arias that is as unwarranted as it is unnecessary. We'll notify you here with news about.

Since the investigation began, she's changed her alibi -- and her lawyers -- several times. In early January, the prosecution began presenting damning evidence, including photos that they contend tie Arias to the grisly murder scene and recorded interviews in which she says one puzzling thing after the next. The ultimate challenge for those who are watching the trial -- and for the jurors who will decide the case -- is how to make sense of the contradictions in her statements and of Arias herself.
There's a disconnect: How can this pretty young woman be responsible for this reprehensible, incomprehensible act? Arias is accused of butchering Travis Alexander , her ex-boyfriend, on June 4, while he was in the shower of his Mesa, Ariz. He was found dead days later on June 9. When questioned by police, Alexander's friends and family members indicated that Arias should be questioned. Bonn has not interviewed Arias and can only speculate on the reasons for her behavior based on her actions, media appearances and police interviews -- of which there is no shortage.
Arias, according to testimony in court, was jealous of Alexander seeing other women and allegedly slashed the tires on his vehicle twice. After those incidents, his new girlfriend received a harassing email from a "John Doe. Based on his observations of the police interviews and evidence presented at trial, Bonn said it is his opinion that Arias was "completely obsessed" with Alexander. Whenever he would try to sever all ties, she would threaten to kill herself He would tell her he didn't want anything to do with her, and she would show up at his house.
We knew it was her. We didn't want it to be her, but [we] just knew it was. Like Bonn, Sheila Wendler, a forensic psychiatrist with the Hawaii Department of Public Safety, Corrections Division, has not personally examined Arias but can speak in general terms regarding similar cases. Wendler said it is not uncommon in cases such as this for the perpetrator to have characteristics of borderline personality disorder. These women can become cruelly punitive toward whom they perceive as rejecting them.
Wendler added, "Their mood is usually unstable and may vary from happiness to anger to euphoria or to despair all in the same day. I have plenty of them I did not take his life," Arias told a police detective in a July 15, , taped interview that was played at her murder trial.
