Jodi Arias Live Stream Cross-Examination Day 2, Tough Questioning About 'No Memory' (WATCH ONLINE)
Arias' first-degree murder trial will resume on Monday after she faced tough questioning from prosecutor Juan Martinez on Thursday, the first day of her cross-examination.
Martinez strategically called out Arias inconsistencies about several stories she testified on the witness stand since she gave her first testimony on Feb. 4. At times Martinez raised his voice at her, prompting Arias to say she has memory problems when "men like you are screaming at me."
Martinez bluntly asked Arias, "Do you have a problem with memory?"
Martinez referred to Arias' testimony on Feb. 20 when she said she does not remember how she stabbed 30-year-old Alexander 27 times and slit his throat after she shot him on June 4, 2008 in his Mesa, Ariz. home.
The trial climaxed when Arias testified about the chilling moments when she killed her ex-lover. The California woman also shocked the jury when she gave specific details about how she shot Alexander but then said she did not remember stabbing Alexander 27 times.
Alexander, 30, a Mormon motivational speaker was shot in the face, stabbed 27 times and his throat was slit from ear to ear. When Arias' defense attorney Kirk Numi asked her to describe how her victim was stabbed, she replied, "I have no memory of stabbing him. There are a lot of gaps."
Numi asked about the knife that was used to stab Alexander and Arias said she remembered dropping it because it made a loud noise when it hit the tile floor.
"I remember I was in the bathroom, I remember dropping the knife and it clinged to the tile and it made a big noise. And I just remember screaming. I don't remember anything after that," she said.
She said she "freaked out" when she dropped the knife.
"Do you remember dragging him across the floor?" Numi asked.
"No, I just remember trying to get away from him," she replied.
If Arias is convicted of the murder that she has confessed to, she will likely face the death penalty and become the fourth woman in Arizona's history to die by lethal injection.
Watch the live stream of Arias being cross-examined by prosecutors in her murder trial on Monday starting at 12:30 p.m. EST.
