Jodi Arias Makes Final Plea to Jury Accused murderer Jodi Arias made a dramatic final plea to the jury in her murder trial today, asking them to believe her. Why should anyone believe you now? That is the ultimate question, Jodi. Why should we believe you now?" attorney Kirk Nurmi asked Arias in his final question to her during the trial. Arias, 32, spent two days answering questions from the jury that showed skepticism among jurors, one of whom asked her outright why the jury should believe what she says on the stand after she admitted to so many lies. Arias could face the death penalty if convicted of murdering her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander, in 2008. During Nurmi's follow-up questions, Arias turned in her seat to face the jury and speak to them directly. Like I said before, I lied a lot. Each of those lies tied back to two things: protecting his ego, no, his reputation, and my own, and second, relating to any involvement in his death," she said. Arias then paused dramatically. I understand that there will always be questions, but all I can do, at this point, is say what happened to the best of my recollection. If I'm convicted, that's because of my own bad choices," she said as prosecutor Juan Martinez objected loudly. It was the final statement Arias will make to the jurors, who submitted more than 100 questions of their own to Arias about the alleged murder. Martinez will finish his follow-up questions when the trial resumes Wednesday, March 13. The prosecution claims she killed Alexander out of jealousy and then lied about it to protect herself. "After all the lies you told," asked one jury member earlier in the day, "why should we believe you now?" The questions were the final look into how the jurors may view the case against Arias, who is charged with first-degree murder and could face the death penalty if convicted. As Arias answered the original 100 questions they submitted, jurors quickly scribbled 14 more that they submitted to Judge Sherry Stephens. The questions focused on Arias' lies and her claim that she could not remember killing Alexander.
