Jodi Arias, accused of stabbing, shooting and slashing the throat of her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander, is expected to go toe-to-toe with the prosecution Thursday during her long awaited cross-examination in Arizona's Maricopa County Superior Court.
The grim duel will begin at 12:30 p.m. ET. Thursday and will be live blogged by The Huffington Post at the bottom of this article.
The defense wrapped up their direct examination of Arias on Wednesday, after the 32-year-old photographer tiptoed gingerly through details of Alexander's homicide, claiming she was unable to remember many of the details. Court was recessed shortly thereafter.
The path is now clear for Arias' cross-examination by steely-voiced prosecutor Juan Martinez. The veteran prosecutor is often referred to as a "pit bull" by talking heads in the media.
Arias is in the 21st day of her trial for the June 4, 2008 slaying of Alexander inside his Mesa, Ariz., apartment. Arias claimed Wednesday she killed Alexander in self-defense when he attacked her for dropping his camera.
If convicted, Arias faces the death penalty.
