As Jodi Arias awaits the proceedings for the second round of her trial's sentencing phase, two jurors spoke out on how they voted and why.

Juror No. 6, Diane Schwartz, admitted that she voted to have Arias put to death because she believes that the convicted murderer is "very untruthful and very manipulative," and a very "sad girl."

Schwartz told Phoenix's 12 News on May 29 that the voting was split - eight jurors voted for death and four voted that Arias should serve life in prison. Arizona law requires the jury in capital cases to unanimously agree on the death sentence, which this jury did not.

The jury in Arias' first-degree murder trial failed to reach a unanimous decision on May 24 during the third phase of her trial. The failure to come to an agreement on whether Arias should have been sentenced to life in prison or given the death penalty led to the judge to declare a mistrial.

Watch Schwartz explain why she voted for the death penalty for Arias.

Tara Kelley, who was alternate juror No. 7, said she believes based on evidence and testimonies given during the six-month trial that Arias wanted to make sure for murder victim Travis Alexander that was she was "last person he ever slept with."

Kelly shared her thoughts in an interview with Wild About Trial on Twitter on May 29.

"I believe on May 26, Travis was trying to break it off completely with Jodi!" Kelley wrote. "She got mad and threatened him with the sex tape! He started calling her those names because he thought if he did she would finally leave him alone, especially when he said you are the worst thing that ever happened to me!"

"He was hoping that would make her stop! It only made her really mad knowing he no longer wanted her! She couldn't take it!" Kelley shared on the social media site. "She planned the burglary and started planning his death! She wanted to make sure she was the last he ever had sexually! She wanted that power of knowing she was his last."

Kelley pointed out that she never saw positive communication between Arias and her defense attorney, Kirk Nurmi. She wrote that when Nurmi said in his closing arguments "9 days out of 10 I don't like Jodi Arias," she believed it.

"There was never interaction between him and Jodi at the table! He never looked happy by her," Kelley added.

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

The new proceedings for the third phase - the sentencing phase - will begin July 18. If the proceedings rule in favor of no re-trial of the sentencing phase, then Arias will serve life in prison. If the penalty phase is re-tried and the new jury cannot reach an unanimous decision, then the final decision for the sentence options will be left up to the judge.
