Jodi Arias Trial Update: Prosecutor Juan Martinez Calls Defense Scenario 'Impossible' (Live Video)

By

Jodi Arias appeared on the witness stand for the 18th day on Wednesday to describe how she killed her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander, which she claimed was merely done in self-defense. Maricopa County Prosecutor Juan Martinez refuted her claim saying, "your scenario is impossible," the Huffington Post reported.

"You drop the camera ... you are body-slammed, you get away, you go down the hallway, you go in the closet, you get the gun, you go into the bathroom ... You shoot him, he goes down and then, after you're able to get away, you go get the knife and you end up at the end of the hallway -- all of this in 62 seconds?" Martinez asked.

"No, that's not what I'm saying ... after the gun went off ... it started to get more confusing at that point," Arias replied.

"You didn't have the knife in your hand when you shot him. So that means, if you didn't have the knife in your hand, you had to go get it from somewhere, right?" Martinez asked.

"I don't know," Arias replied.

"Martinez showed Arias two photographs that were taken inside Alexander's home on June 4, 2008. According to Martinez, the first photo was of a live Alexander in his shower. The second photo, taken 62 seconds later, was of Alexander's bloodied body sprawled out on the floor, with Arias's foot next to his head," the Huffington Post reported. Arias has given conflicting testimony throughout her trial.

For the past week, jurors asked pointed questions to Arias to further explain her actions leading to Alexander's murder. Thursday's testimony was delayed, but attorneys have said psychologist Richard Samuels will testify about Arias' memory lapses.
