The trial continued this week for Jodi Arias who stands accused of murdering her boyfriend Travis Alexander.

A video was played on Tuesday during the Mesa, Ariz. trial that showed Arias talking to a police detective on July 15, 2008.

"I would never want to hurt him. He never raped me ... if I was going to ever try to kill somebody, I would use gloves. I have plenty of them ... I did not take his life," Arias said in the video.

The 32-year-old was arrested in 2008 in connection to Alexander's death with the prosecution alleging that Arias killed him in a fit of jealous rage in his apartment on June 4, 2008, because she did not want him dating other women.

Alexander, a 30-year-old legal-insurance salesman, was shot in the face, stabbed around 27 times, and had his throat slit.

In the video, Arias first denied being in the state of Arizona on her road trip through California and Utah, but Mesa Police lead homicide detective Esteban Flores explained that she had to have been in there citing her cell phone use.

Detective Flores explained that there are 18 hours that Arias is unaccounted for without a verifiable allibie that gave her enough to commit the murder.

Flores also brought up a camera that allegedly proves Arias was at Alexander's residents at the time of the crime with deleted photos that were recovered showing the victim dying in the shower.

The detective offered to show the photo proof to Arias before she said, "I am not a murderer, but if I was, I would wear gloves or try to wash him off or something."

"I would never hurt him," Arias said later in the interview about Alexander, according to ABC News. "He has done so much for me. If I killed Travis, I would beg for the death penalty."

If Arias is convicted of murder she could face the death penalty.
