Arias' lawyers are hoping that a sympathetic portrayal of Arias as Alexander's physically and emotionally abused girlfriend will bolster her claim that she killed Alexander in self-defense. Arias stabbed her lover 27 times, slashed his throat, and shot him twice in the head in 2008, two years after they met and began their sex-fueled affair.
The prosecution alleges that Arias killed Alexander out of jealousy. She could face the death penalty if convicted of his murder.
After being converted she was arguably raped:
"We got back to the house, we went inside and we hugged. Words were exchanged, and we began to kiss, and things got intimate again," Arias said.
"He spun me around, and he bent me over the bed and he was just on top of me. I thought he was going to keep kissing me."
Arias said that instead, Alexander lifted up her skirt and pulled down her underwear and then took off his own pants.
"And then he began to have anal sex with me," she said.
She should have called the police, but I guess she was afraid of being excommunicated and then killed Alexander to save face.
