This week, 375 potential jurors are being summoned to a Maricopa county courthouse in the case of The State of AZ vs. Jodi Arias. Jury selection is expected to last approximately two weeks. The first 75 potential jurors were given questionnaires Monday.
Attorneys will review the questionnaires and return to court on Monday, December 17th to begin the process of questioning potential jurors individually. Opening statements are scheduled to begin on January 2, 2013. Jodi Arias, now 31 years old, has been incarcerated in Maricopa County since her arrest in mid-2008.
After initially insisting she was innocent, Arias has given at least three versions of what happened to Travis Alexander the night he was killed in early June, 2008. Her latest version claims she killed Alexander in self defense.
