Jodi Arias (Part 1)

**We apologize for the feedback during this episode. We tried really hard to edit it out but I’m not an expert at editing so please forgive me.**

We partnered with Jessi and Amanda from the Cee U Next Tuesday podcast to bring you the case of Jodi Arias. Although not *technically* from the PNW (Jodi does have ties to Medford, Oregon), we couldn't pass up the opportunity to cover this case!

Part 1 covers the background of Travis Alexander (victim) and Jodi Arias (accused murderer) - huge shoutout to Jessi and Amanda for their heavy lifting with researching and presenting this part of the case!

I wrap up part 1 with opening statements from the prosecutor and Jodi's defense attorney.
