The jury in Jodi Arias' first-degree murder trial reached a unanimous decision in the third phase of her near six-month trial on Tuesday.

After the jury deliberated for two hours, they returned without a sentence ruled. The convicted murderer will likely learn on Thursday if she will be given a sentence of life in prison or the death penalty. The live court session for the sentence announcement will begin at 1 p.m. EST. It can be watched online via the free live stream below.

After the jury told Judge Sherry Stephens that they reached a unanimous decision on whether Arias should spend the rest of her life behind bars or die by lethal injection, Stephens ordered them to continue deliberating.

If the jury ends up hung on Thursday, Judge Stephens would then declare a mistrial. If so, a new jury will be selected and they will only have to make a decision in the third phase of the trial - the sentencing phase. They then will only need to decide whether Arias should live or die.

Watch Judge Stephens order the jury to continue deliberating.

Arias asked the jury to not give her the death penalty after her defense attorneys and prosecutors gave their closing arguments on Tuesday.

During her 19-minute testimony, Arias showed baby pictures of herself, shared childhood memories and artwork she has been selling on Ebay while behind bars. One item was a T-shirt with the "Survivor" printed on the front. She said she will sell the T-shirts and proceeds will go toward a chairty that supports victims of domestic violence.

Arias was found guilty of murder in the first-degree on May 8 and the jury reached a "cruel manner" verdict on May 15. "Cruel manner" is when a victim suffered physical and or mental pain, according to Arizona law.

According to the autopsy report, Arias stabbed her victim almost 30 times, slit his throat from ear to ear and shot him in the forehead. The report showed that some of Alexander's stab wounds included cuts on his hands which were caused when he tried to prevent Arias from stabbing him repeatedly

Watch the live court session when they announce if Arias will be given a sentence of life in prison or the death penalty below on May 23 beginning at 1 p.m. EST.
