What's the Story Behind Travis Alexander's Autopsy Photos?
It's been more than a decade since Jodi Arias was convicted of the 2008 murder of Travis Alexander, who died of multiple stab wounds. The autopsy report also noted that he suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Alexander was Arias' on-again, off-again boyfriend whom she stalked, according to claims by Arias' friends. The crime unfolded at the victim's Mesa, Arizona, home, where authorities found evidence that incriminated Arias.
In 2013, a jury convicted Jodi Arias of murdering Travis Alexander, despite her claims that she committed the crime in self-defense. However, the jury could not decide whether or not to give her the death penalty, resulting in a mistrial. The following year, a second jury reached a deadlock, prompting the judge to sentence her to life in prison without the possibility of parole. She was sentenced based on her 2013 conviction.
The popular documentary series Jodi Arias: An American Murder Mystery looks back at the infamous case. Other true crime shows like Dateline NBC have also aired episodes about Travis Alexander's murder and the case against Arias.
