Happy New Year peeps!!!
With 2014 now underway, I thought this would be a good time to re-watch the trial from last year. So it kicks off again today with video of Trial Day 1 and Jennifer Willmott’s Opening Statements from this day last year, January 2nd, 2013, together with audio from the Prosecution’s Opening Statements, plus Marie Hall & Sterling Williams’ testimonies.

Defense attorney Jennifer Willmott began her opening statement by telling the jury Arias killed Alexander in self-defense. She described the couple’s relationship as psychologically abusive and controlling, stating Alexander kept Arias as his “dirty little secret,” Meanwhile, Willmott stated Alexander repeatedly degraded Arias by telling his friends that she was a stalker.
On the day of the murder, Willmott said Arias was subjected to rough vaginal sex. Willmott stated Arias killed Alexander while she was defending herself against her angry ex-boyfriend after she dropped his new camera. Willmott discussed two time stamped photos taken on the day of the murder. One photo points up at the bathroom ceiling light after apparently accidentally falling. The other, a bloody photo of Alexander. Willmott concluded by telling the jury that if Arias had not chosen to defend herself in the one minute that passed in between those photos being taken, she would not be here today.
