[Unidentified Male:] Jodi Arias, she`s back.
[Arias:] You`re bad. You make me feel so dirty. [on camera]: "I love Travis Victor Alexander so completely that I don`t know any other way to be."
[Unidentified Male:] Convicted murderer Jodi Arias, returned to court today for a key hearing.
[Arias:] I might change my memory.
[Velez-mitchell:] Oh, lord. She`s back. The news we`ve all been waiting for, it is now official. Jodi Arias will be retried to decide if she lives or is executed. So mark your calendars, because March 17, a brand-new jury will be chosen to decide Jodi`s fate. This jury will decide if she should get life in prison or the death penalty for stabbing her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander, 29 times, slitting his throat ear to ear, six inches across, and shooting him in the face for good measure. Here`s my rant. A special message to the judge. Do not let Jodi hijack the retrial. Do not let Jodi put the victim, Travis Alexander, on trial again. Don`t let Jodi take the stand for 18 days and accuse him of being a pedophile or a sexual pervert with no proof. OK? Travis Alexander is the victim here. Jodi`s testimony needs to be limited and not include any of these ridiculous, absurd accusations from the first go-around. We all remember those.
[Arias:] I sounds like what?
[Travis Alexander, Murder Victim:] A 12-year-old girl having her first orgasm.
[Arias:] I walked in, and Travis was on the bed
[Velez-mitchell:] What is this new trial going to look like? Is Jodi going to be able to get back on the stand and spew 18 days` worth of lies again? Our fantastic Lion`s Den debate panel has new inside information. We begin with KTHO reporter Jose Miguel live in Phoenix, site of the retrial. Miguel, you`ve got your finger on the pulse of the jury pool. What are you learning and hearing tonight?
[Jose Miguel, Ktho Reporter:] Well, Jane, people are telling me that they are so angry at this situation. They are tired as taxpayers to support this woman, to keep paying more and more money towards this trial. They`re looking for a resolution. They want a resolution, not only in this case, but they want it for this family. They`re tired of the Alexander family being dragged through the dirt, if you will, because of this case. And I actually tweeted and sent some messages out to my Facebook people, and almost 90 percent, I would say, all said they would like to see Jodi Arias put to death. And even though they know that she could still get an appeal process going if she`s put on death row, they want her to receive the ultimate punishment. They saw this as something that was premeditated, totally planned out. And they feel like Jodi`s been manipulating people too long. I say, doing the same thing over and over again is insanity. What are we going to do different this time around? Obviously there could be a repeat of the fierce confrontations the first trial brought. Prosecutor Juan Martinez, feisty Juan, of course, we don`t know, hammered Jodi about her memory, quote unquote, of Travis` brutal death.
[Juan Martinez, Prosecutor:] Were you crying when you were shooting him?
[Arias:] I don`t remember.
[Martinez:] Were you crying when you were stabbing him?
[Arias:] I don`t remember.
[Martinez:] How about when you cut his throat, were you crying then?
[Arias:] I don`t know.
[Martinez:] So take a look then. You`re the one that did this, right?
[Arias:] Yes.
[Martinez:] And you`re the same individual that lied about all this, right?
[Arias:] Yes. The jury heard in excruciating detail about Travis` gruesome murder. If the jury didn`t give her the death penalty then after seeing those gruesome crime scene photos over and over and hearing about her slitting his throat, what the heck does the prosecution have to do differently to get the death penalty now? Jordan Rose, you`re an attorney in Phoenix. You`re very close to all the principals involved. They`ve got to do something different, because prosecutor Martinez gave it his all and did not get the death penalty the first time around.
[Jordan Rose, Attorney:] I think you`re right, Jane. They obviously need to do something different. And I think the focus will be much clearer and crisper, because it will be a shorter deliberation. And the focus will be on the heinous nature of the crime and the fact that it was entirely pre-planned. In addition to that, Jodi will not be on the stand for 18 straight days establishing a love affair with this jury. And I don`t mean that they all fell in absolute love with Jodi, but certainly, it has got to be more difficult to vote to put someone to death who you have sat within feet of for 18 days, learning intimate details of her life. As you said, this judge was not going to allow this jury to be hijacked again by Jodi Arias. And that is going to be the difference.
[Arias:] But how do you stop it?
[Velez-mitchell:] Anahita.
[Sedaghatfar:] Right. I totally disagree with that, Jane.
[Velez-mitchell:] How do you stop it?
[Sedaghatfar:] Jane, I totally disagree with that. Because on the one hand, I understand why the prosecution didn`t want to offer her some plea deal. They wanted to move forward with the death penalty. That`s what the Alexander family wanted. But this trial is going to be longer than the previous trial, because they`re going to have to impanel a whole new jury. They`re going to have to present all of this evidence all over again. And you can bet Jodi Arias is going to take the stand, and she`s going to talk and talk and talk for as long as she wants, because her life is on the line. And the judge is going to give her that leeway. And it`s not, Jane, just because she`s a narcissist or she wants to hear herself speak...
[Velez-mitchell:] No, she`s also a liar. She`s a liar.
[Sedaghatfar:] She wants to talk about the fact that she was abused.
[Velez-mitchell:] She wasn`t abused. She was not abused.
[Sedaghatfar:] ... that decision but she`s the jurors will make that determination.
[Velez-mitchell:] On the other side, someone who has intimate knowledge of this case, knows it backward and forward like no one else, and she`s going to talk about the strategy of one, next.
[Arias:] I love it when you grab my butt. That was nice. But you only do it, like, when you`re trying to prove a point to somebody else.
[Alexander:] That`s not true. You cannot say that I don`t work that booty.
[Arias:] Never mind. You do know how to work the booty.
