As the trial of the year nears to a close, Breaking Celebrity News has complied the most dramatic and outrageous developments of the State vs Jodi Arias since the death penalty murder showdown began on January 2.

Grisly Autopsy Photos:

The tone for the Arias trial was set from the get-go when the jury in the Maricopa County Courtroom in Phoenix, Arizona was shown gruesome images of homicide victim Travis Alexander lying slashed and lifeless on the floor of his shower after Jodi stabbed him 29 times, including slitting his throat, and shot him, an act she claims was in self-defense. Many of members of the courtroom gasped in shock as autopsy photos revealed the gaping wound the knife made across the devout Mormon's neck, as his two sisters buried their heads in horror.

The 911 Call:

The police had a suspect in Travis' gruesome death before they even arrived at the Mesa, Arizona crime scene, as revealed by the chilling 911 call. In the panicked audio from June 9, 2008, pal Marie "Mimi" Hall told dispatchers, "A friend of ours is dead in his bedroom, we hadn’t heard from him for a while," and when asked if Alexander had ever been threatened, she quickly replied: “Her name is Jodi. No, he hasn’t reported anything to the police. His roommate went in and there’s blood in his bedroom, behind the door and all over, then they went in the bathroom and it’s all in the shower. There’s a girl that’s been stalking him,” she confirmed.
