Salinas-native Jodi Arias sentenced to life without parole

Salinas native and convicted murderer Jodi Arias will be spending the rest of her life behind bars. A Phoenix judge sentenced arias today for the 2008 murder of her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander.

Arias was found guilty of first-degree murder back in 2013. Two juries were deadlocked on whether to sentence Arias to life in prison or death, causing the death penalty to be taken off the table.

On Monday, a judge sentenced Arias to life in prison without parole. Before the sentencing, Alexanders’ family asked the judge to give her the maximum sentence.
