Jodi Arias convicted of first-degree murder

PHOENIX (AP):

Jodi Arias has been convicted of first-degree murder in the brutal stabbing and shooting death of her one-time boyfriend in Arizona.



Arias was charged in the June 2008 killing of Travis Alexander in his suburban Phoenix home.



Authorities say she planned the attack in a jealous rage.



Arias initially denied involvement, then blamed it on two masked intruders.



Two years after her arrest, she said she killed Alexander in self-defense.



Testimony began in early January, with Arias eventually spending 18 days on the witness stand.
