misconduct. if if that is turned down by the judge they ask for juror number 5 to be dismissed. another twist and turn in this murder trial. the last defense witness is on her third day on the stand. basically she is laying out the whole reason why she believes jodi arias was mistreated by traffic is alexander going through emails where he called her names and basically trying to prove domestic abuse by travis aleastbound apbd der. take a listen. there was information about mr. a alapbd der calling miss airy as a skank and acting like it was a joke. there was information about the way he ignored her in public places and would not allow her to put pictures of them up in places where other people could see them. reporter: this is basically what the defense has been trying to layout from the beginning that jodi arias was mistreated by taf advisal exapbd der, that he was a bad guy and they are going into his background.
