An Arizona jury Wednesday found Jodi Arias guilty of first-degree murder for killing Travis Alexander in June 2008, CNN reported. The conviction means Arias could face the death penalty. In the next phase of the case, prosecutors will have a chance to present additional evidence and jurors to decide whether Alexander's death was caused in a cruel manner, the Huffington Post reported.

The trial was filled with lurid details of sex, lies and violence. The panel, which had started deliberations on Friday, found Arias guilty of premeditated first-degree murder in the 2008 slaying of her one-time boyfriend Travis Alexander.

Arias' defense lawyers tried to present her as fighting back in self-defense to a deranged man. Prosecutors, led by Juan Martinez, proved that Arias was a jilted and obsessed stalker. He had been planning a vacation to Mexico with another woman when he was killed.

"Fear, love, sex, lies and dirty little secrets," defense lawyer Kirk Nurmi repeated multiple times during his summations.

"Each one of these aspects of the human condition plays a prominent role in the relationship that Jodi Arias shared with Travis Alexander."

Arias arrived to Alexander's Mesa, Ariz., home at 4 a.m. the day of his death, when they went slept together and had sex in the morning, according to prosecutor Juan Martinez.

The two took lurid pictures of one another the next morning. These images were shown to jurors. The panel also read text messages between the two, sharing their sexual fantasies.

"It's not about whether or not you like Jodi Arias. Nine days out of 10, I don't like Jodi Arias," Nurmi said during closing arguments last week. "But that doesn't matter."

Nurmi told jurors that the prosecution's theory that Arias planned Alexander's slating "doesn't make any sense."
