The defense wounds on Travis Alexander's body; the long trail of deceit to cover up his killing; Jodi Arias' constantly changing stories and numerous admitted lies; her history of stalking and spying on boyfriends and exes; her tears in the court room - they all prove Arias is a "manipulative ... sophisticated liar" guilty of "a very orchestrated killing," the prosecution hammered in its closing arguments Thursday.
If Jodi Arias' lawyers are trying to convince the jury their self-defense argument isn't fabricated, they might want to rethink their strategy.

It was only a matter of time. Conservative teapot of simmering rage Glenn Beck began spouting off conspiracy theories of a third suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings and a U.S. cover up earlier this week, and now a Florida professor is suggesting the attacks were a false flag operation perpetrated by the American government.
As Travis Alexander's former girlfriend took the stand Tuesday, Jodi Arias' lawyers once again focussed on his allegedly salacious lifestyle, describing numerous lewd acts in lurid detail, forcing Alexander's ex to visibly recoil.
NBC and staff at the "Today" show might have put former anchor Ann Curry through "professional torture" during her all too public termination, but now the beloved reporter is proving that sometimes looking good is the best revenge.
