Murder of Travis Alexander
On June 4, 2008, Travis Alexander, a salesman, was killed at his home in Mesa, Arizona; his murder and the subsequent criminal trial have received widespread media attention. Alexander's injuries consisted of multiple stab wounds, a slit throat, and a shot to the head; the medical examiner ruled his death a homicide.
Jodi Arias, Alexander's ex-girlfriend, was charged with his murder, and her trial began on January 2, 2013. Arias testified that she killed Alexander in self-defense. She was found guilty of first-degree murder on May 8, 2013.
The case gained significant attention from the news media, and was considered by many as an example of both trial by media and a media circus
Death
Alexander's body was discovered in a shower at his home. His throat had been cut; as well, he had been shot in the head and stabbed multiple times. There have been conflicting reports over the number of stab wounds, with some reports stating 29, many stating 27 and after the verdict "more than 20". Maricopa County Medical Examiner, Dr. Kevin Horn, testified that Alexander's jugular vein, common carotid artery, and windpipe had been slashed. Alexander's hands also had defensive wounds. Horn further testified that Alexander "may have" been dead at the time the gunshot was inflicted. Alexander's death was ruled a homicide.

Hell yes, you don't play with people's emotions when they are in love with you like that. Travis was an overgrown spoiled brat who didn't want to share any of his toys. But in this case his toy was a human being that would drive 32 hours in one sitting to shank his ass for playing around.

The dude was actually trying to move on with another woman and she didn't like that so she killed him. Women can be just as evil and cruel as men. We're not so different.

This is one of the few cases where the perpetrator is actually just bat shit insane. I think he was trying to break up with her and she ambushed him.
