The live court session for Jodi Arias' first-degree murder trial will resume on May 1 for the 2008 Arizona killing of Travis Alexander. The trial can be watched via the free live stream below.

On Thursday, Judge Sherry Stephens announced without explanation that juror no. 8 will not be returning to the courtroom when the trial resumes on Wednesday. Juror no. 8 is the third to be removed from the trial in the past month.

According to HLNTV, the juror was man who too copious notes and asked a lot of juror questions when they were submitted to Arias and the defense witnesses.

Juror no. 11 was removed earlier this month due to an illness and Arias' defense attorney, Kirk Nurmi filed a request for a mistrial and the removal of juror No. 5 because she said prejudiced statements in front of her fellow juror, according to earlier reports.

Meliha Omanovic, 38, also known as juror no. 5, a north Phoenix resident was booted from court on April 2, spoke out about her removal from Arias' trial. Omanovic admitted that the reason for her removal was "related to a joke" and said she "did not do anything wrong."

Arizona's NBC 12 News reported she made an offhand comment that led to her getting kicked out of the jury. According to the sources, after defense expert Dr. Richard Samuels was asked about his hourly rate and he replied that it was $300 an hour, Omanovic told her fellow jurors: "For $300 bucks per hour you'd think that they could get us better chairs to sit in."

Omanovic insists that she did not deserve to be dismissed and she's "eager" to give her side of the story after the trial ends.

Watch Arias' murder trial live online on Wednesday, May 1 which began at 12:30 p.m. EST.
