"  No doubt you guys have been as obsessed with the Jodi Arias case as we have. And today, after a drawn-out trial, she was found guilty in the first-degree murder of her ex, Travis Alexander. Now, jurors have to decide whether or not Arias gets the death penalty. It&amp;#039;s been a crazy case, packed with allegations of abuse and manipulation. Here&amp;#039;s a recap: On June 4, 2008, Alexander, a salesman and motivational speaker, was found brutally murdered at his home in Mesa, Arizona. He had multiple stab wounds, a slit throat, and shot in the head.  A year before his murder, Alexander and Arias broke up and after their split, Arias moved to California to live with her grandparents. Just before Alexander was murdered, Arias&amp;#039;s grandparent&amp;#039;s house was burglarized and a gun was stolen. (Prosecuters later argued that Arias staged the break-in and took the gun herself.) Just before his murder, Alexander allegedly told friends that Arias was stalking him, and had hacked his Facebook account and slashed his tires.  Alexander&amp;#039;s digital camera was found at the scene of the crime, which contained photos of him and Arias in sexually suggestive poses that were taken the day of the murder. There was also a photo of someone who appeared to be Alexander, dead and bleeding. The photos had been deleted but were recovered by police. Even though she later admitted to the murder, Arias continued to leave Alexander voicemail messages after he was killed.  A slew of clues lead police to Arias, who later confessed, but said it was in self-defense. She also said Alexander was controlling and that she was trapped in a psychologically abusive relationship. No doubt jurors will have a tough time with her sentence. It&amp;#039;s one thing to convict someone of a murder, but it&amp;#039;s another to give the death penalty when the question of abuse is thrown in. Stay tuned... .
