PHOENIX, March 5 (UPI) -- Jodi Arias, convicted of killing her ex-boyfriend, escaped the death penalty on Thursday when a 12-person jury could not agree on a sentence, causing the judge to declare a mistrial.
For the second time, a jury could not agree whether Arias should receive the death penalty or life imprisonment. The judge will decide whether Arias will get a life sentence or if she could be eligible for parole after 25 years served.
