Jodi Arias has resumed testimony in her Arizona death penalty case discussing her accusations that the victim had sexual desires for young boys.
The 32-year-old is charged in the June 2008 killing of her lover in his suburban Phoenix home. She says it was self-defense, but police say she planned the attack on Travis Alexander in a jealous rage. Arias initially told authorities she had nothing to do with Alexander's death, then blamed it on masked intruders before settling on self-defense.
Arias' attorney on Monday worked again to portray the victim as a sexual deviant. As questioning resumed Tuesday, Arias read from journal entries noting, without specifically citing, her concern for his deviancy.
