The live court session for Jodi Arias' first-degree murder trial will resume on May 3 for the 2008 Arizona killing of Travis Alexander.

Closing arguments are expected to be delivered in the courtroom by Arias' defense attorneys and the trial can be watched via the free live stream below.

Prosecutor Juan Martinez delivered the closing arguments for the state on Thursday. During his recap of the testimonies and evidence presented during the four month trial, Arias was visibly upset. She cried when he presented evidence photos of Alexander's dead body and went over how the murder occurred in detail.

"She may cry now," Martinez told the jury, as Arias held her head in her hands. "The jury instructions have told you that sympathy is not to be considered in this particular case."

When Martinez presented the graphic images of Alexander, members of Alexander's family - who took up three rows in the gallery - turned their heads away.

"It was a very well orchestrated kill," Martinez said, as he held up a photo of Alexander's throat cut open. "She killed him three times over."

"And so, she gets her knife," he explained to the court, "And she took that knife and stabbed him. Side. Front. The reason that we know that she did that is because Mr. Alexander has the defense wounds, and he has defensive wounds to his left and to his right hand.

"As she is stabbing him, he is alive and he is cognizant of it, and he begins to grab at the knife. But unfortunately for Mr. Alexander, one of the knife wounds is to the heart. Doesn't mean he's going to die immediately, it means he's just going to die...

"Blood coming from his heart, blood coming from his mouth, and blood coming from his wounds."

Martinez told the court that Arias lied repeatedly, and he also brought up the issue about one of the murder weapons: the gun that was used to kill Alexander.

"She's a chameleon, and she'll adjust to the situation and make up whatever stories are appropriate for her at the time," he said. "The point I'm trying to make is that these lies are lies, but then she goes even further with them just to sell them, to manipulate the person into thinking they are actually true," said Martinez. "She's such an ornate liar. She just has to add the extras to it to really sell it."

"Why stand there with the gun if you know it's unloaded? None of it. Absolutely none of it is true," he added. "You could even be charitable and say it doesn't make sense. I'm not asking you to be charitable. It's an absolute lie, this issue about the gun. She said it, and she is wedded to it."

Martinez concluded his closing argument by asking the jury to hand Arias with the guity verdict:

"What the state is asking you to do is your duty. And the judge has indicated that your duty is to follow the law as she's given it to you, and apply it to the facts. And in asking that, the state is asking you to return a verdict of guilty. That you return a verdict of guilty as to first-degree murder. Not only as to premeditated murder, but also as to felony murder, for no other reason that it's your duty, and the facts and the law support it."

Arias, 32, has been on trial since Jan. 4 for murdering her ex-lover. 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.
