Jodi Arias Trial Livestream: Mother Said Jodi Has "Mental Problems" (WATCH ONLINE)
The live court session for Jodi Arias' first-degree murder trial will return on Wednesday for the 2008 Arizona killing of Travis Alexander.
The trial can be watched via the free live stream below.
On Tuesday Dr. Drew aired never-before-seen footage on his HLNTV show, Dr. Drew on Call, of Arias' parents being questioned by Arizona police about their daughter. In the video Arias' parents, Sandra and William Arias, are answering questions by the Mesa, Ariz. lead detective on Alexander's murder case, Detective Esteban Flores.
Sandra admitted on camera that her daughter has "mental problems."
Flores told Jodi's parents there was sufficient evidence proving she was in Alexander's home the day his body was found: June 4, 2008. Autopsy records showed that Jodi stabbed Alexander over 27 times, slit his throat from ear to ear and shot him in the head.
Sandra was shocked to learn that her daughter killed Alexander and said she couldn't believe that when her daughter went back to her California home, she seemed "normal" as if nothing had ever happened.
"I talked to [Jodi] and she told me she was going to Utah and she came back and she was fine," Sandra told Flores. "So how could somebody...you say she did this...how could she come back and just be normal?"
Sandra then explained that her daughter has a history of mental illness.
"Jodi has mental problems," she said. "Jodi would freak out all the time. I had quite a few of her friends call me and tell me that I needed to get her some help. One called me in the middle of the night and told me that she needed help," she added.

Arias, 31, has been on trial since Jan. 4 for murdering her ex-lover, Alexander. According to police, Arias lied twice at first about how Alexander was killed and later admitted that she killed him in an act of self-defense. If she is convicted of the murder and the lies 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.
Defense witness Dr. Alyce LaViolette, a domestic violence expert, is expected to return to the witness stand on April 3.
