  • Jodi Arias Jury Begins Death Penalty Deliberations

    ABC News(PHOENIX) -- "Two wrongs do not make a right," Jodi Arias' defense attorney said Tuesday as she asked the jury to spare Arias the death penalty for killing her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander.

    Arias' attorneys presented no witnesses to...
