guilty. reporte reporter: jodi arias was found guilty of murder. it s unclear at this point who if anyone will be willing to testify on her behalf. our ted rowlands is live in phoenix with more on this story. ted, that question is what s lingering and hanging out there. alyce laviolette was a key witness, some say the only witness that helped this woman. without her, who does jodi use? reporter: well, they re looking for somebody. apparently they have isolated somebody that is going to be willing to testify. what alyce laviolette can be used. it s not as effective. she spent so much time with jodi arias. and the jury foreman may have saved jodi arias life the first time around because he believes she was a victim, jodi, of domestic violence. and that s why he decided not to vote for the death penalty. so she s a key witness.
