Jodi Arias broke down and cried when several times prosecutor Juan Martinez' cross-examined her on Thursday.

Martinez focused on the inconsistencies in the stories Arias told about the crime she committed. Arias also confessed she lied in earlier testimonies as she sobbed on Feb. 28.

Martinez provided more key evidence during Arias' first-degree murder trial for the 2008 Arizona killing of her ex-lover Travis Alexander. After Martinez showed her a gruesome photo of the victim's dead body with blood on it- Arias stabbed her murder victim, Alexander, 27 times, slit his throat from ear to ear and shot in the head- she began to cry as he asked her a series of questions about how she stabbed him.

"Were you crying while you were shooting him?" Martinez asked Arias.

"I don't remember," replied Arias.

"Were you crying when you were stabbing him?" Martinez asked.

"I don't remember," said Arias.

"How about when you cut his throat, were you crying then?" he inquired.

"I don't know," she replied as she sobbed on the witness stand.

Martinez revisted Arias' testimony that minutes before she killed Alexander, she ran out of his bathroom, hid in his closet, grabbed his gun and shot him in self-defense because he ran after her.

"You chose to escalate this didn't you, even though you had the 12 foot head start, didn't you?" Martinez asked her about taking the gun.

"No, I didn't choose to escalate it. I was trying to de-escalate it," Arias answered.

"And you chose to de-escalate the situation by according to you getting a handgun, right?" he said, to which Arias replied, "Yes."

Martinez asked Arias if she ever asked Alexander to stop attacking her. Arias said she screamed at him to stop coming after her right before she shot him. She said her memory started to go out right after she shot him.

"It appears then that your memory becomes faulty immediately upon you shooting him?" Martinez said, and Arias answered, "Yeah, things get very foggy from them."

"The shot takes him down and creates a fog for you." he replied.

Arias said Alexander screamed he was going to kill her after she shot him. She said she doesn't remember stabbing him after she shot him, but she does recall the knife dropping on the floor. Martinez then showed a series of photos taken accidentally from both Alexander's camera and crime scene photos taken by police. All of the images showed the victim's blood splattered around various parts of his home.

Arias admitted that she threw the gun away in a desert the same day she committed the horrific crime. Martinez asked her how could she could remember what she did with the gun if she was "in a fog" after she shot him.

Martinez addressed the stabbing again after Arias testified she doesn't remember how it happened because she was in a "fog." The prosecutor asked why Alexander was found with many stab wounds in his back. He explained to her that if his back was turned away from her then it meant she stabbed him from behind. If so, stabbing him wasn't an act of self-defense - which she always claimed it was since she first confessed to the crime.

Arias cried again and admitted that she slit Alexander's throat from ear to ear and stabbed him in the chest.

She also admitted that she chose to visit Alexander in Arizona on June 3, 2008 This contradicts her earlier testimony that Alexander had asked her to visit him.

If Arias is convicted of the murder that she confessed to she will likely face the death penalty and become the fourth woman in Arizona's history to die by lethal injection.
