Jodi Arias has been convicted of first-degree murder Wednesday in the gruesome killing of her one-time boyfriend in Arizona after a four-month trial that captured headlines..
A California woman has been found guilty of premeditated murder in the shooting and stabbing death of her boyfriend in his Arizona home in 2008.
A jury found Jodi Arias, 32, planned the killing of Travis Alexander, 30, a motivational speaker and salesman.
Initially blaming the killing on intruders, Arias later said she had killed him in self-defence.
Arias wept quietly as the verdict was read. She faces either life in prison or the death penalty.
The jury deliberated for 15 hours over three days after hearing closing arguments on Friday.
Testifying for 18 days in her own defence, Arias said she was too scared and ashamed to tell the truth at the time of the killing but insisted she was not lying to jurors. She has spent four years in prison.
Shifting story
The case, with its attractive victim and defendant and salacious testimony of sex and violence, has gained an outsized media interest in the US since the trial began in January.
Alexander's body was found in the shower of his suburban Phoenix, Arizona home in June 2008. He had been shot in the forehead and stabbed multiple times, his throat slashed.
Arias initially denied any involvement, telling authorities masked intruders had killed Alexander.
But she later said Alexander attacked her following a series of sexual encounters that day, slamming her onto a tile floor. She

A day after a jury found her guilty of first-degree murder in the slaying of her ex-boyfriend, Jodi Arias will return to court Thursday to begin a phase that will move her closer to learning whether she will live or die.
During this part of the proceedings, the so-called 'aggravation phase,' jurors will take an important step closer to that life or death decision.
'Now the odds, I think, shift somewhat in her favor, because it's a very different thing to sentence someone to die than to convict them,' CNN senior legal analyst Jeffery Toobin said.
In a television interview minutes after the verdict was announced, Arias said she'd prefer a death sentence.
'I said years ago that I'd rather get death than life, and that still is true today,' she told Phoenix television station KSAZ. 'I believe death is the ultimate freedom, so I'd rather just have my freedom as soon as I can get it.'
The comments prompted authorities to place Arias on suicide watch in an Arizona jail, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
'Until she is released from suicide protocol by Sheriff's officials no further media interviews of inmate Arias will be permitted,' the office said in a statement.
Arias was stoic in court Wednesday. Her eyes briefly welled up with tears as a clerk announced that the jury found her guilty of first-degree murder for killing Travis Alexander

After months of twists and turns in a dramatic trial rife with sex, lies and digital images, an Arizona jury Wednesday found Jodi Arias guilty of first-degree murder in the slaying of ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander.
