I've been following on and off the trial of Jodi Arias.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Travis_Alexander

She killed her boyfriend, but when questioned, has described three substantially different stories. She's done quite a bit to damage her credibility, and now accuses her deceased victim of being very abusive and that she killed him in self defense.

The reason this story fascinates me stems from how close to home it is (Mesa, AZ), as well as the religious affiliation of both the killer and victim (LDS). I would certainly say that neither was exactly what I would call a shining example of Mormonism, even prior to the killing. It's interesting how the media covers such things by making statements like, "Strict Mormon law disallows premarital sex." Well, I think most churches believe that such is wrong, but generally it's not like we bar folks from the chapel because they're engaged in premarital sex. I guess the obligatory usage of the words "strict" and "law" are strange to me. But in any case, it's a macabre story of what the media has described as "the next Casey Anthony." She's now facing cross examination at the hands of a fiery prosecutor. I believe she is guilty in spite of her talented lying.
