About this listen
Juan Martinez, the fiery prosecutor who convicted notorious murderer Jodi Arias for the disturbing killing of Travis Alexander, speaks for the first time about the shocking investigation and sensational trial that captivated the nation.
Through two trials, America watched with bated breath as Juan Martinez fought relentlessly to convict Jodi Arias of Murder One for viciously stabbing her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander to death. What emerged was a story wrought with sex, manipulation, and deceit that stunned the public at every turn. Arias, always playing the wronged and innocent woman, changed her story continually as her bizarre behavior surrounding the crime and its aftermath came to light. Unwavering, Arias and her defense team continued to play off the salacious details of the case, until she was finally found guilty and - controversially - sentenced to life behind bars.
Now, speaking openly for the first time, prosecutor Juan Martinez will unearth new details from the investigation that were never revealed at trial, exploring key facts from the case and the pieces of evidence he chose to keep close to the vest. Throughout the trials, his bullish and unfaltering prosecution strategy was both commended and criticized, and in his book, Martinez will illuminate the unique tactics he utilized in this case and how they lead to a successful conviction, and - for the first time - discuss how he felt losing the death penalty sentence he’d pursued for years.
Going beyond the news reports, Martinez will explore the truth behind the multiple facades of Jodi Arias. Sparring with her from across the stand, Martinez came to know Arias like no one else could, dissecting what it took for a seemingly normal girl to become a deluded, cunning, and unrepentant murderer.
With new stories from behind the scenes of the trial and Martinez’s own take on his defendant, the book takes you inside the mind of Jodi Arias like never before and is the definitive account of the case that shocked America.

Very interesting
There's such a lot of detailed information on this book, one can't afford to let one's mind wander. However, it is really very well told and really interesting.

RIP Travis. Sometimes the pretty ones just aren’t worth it.
Most enjoyable narration to a book written from the heart. Mr Martinez SIR it is because of people like you that people like Travis and his family have justice. Thank You. As for you Jodi may your nights haunt you forever.

Fascinating account of a major trial
This case caught America's attention for several years and for several reasons. The accused, Jodi Arias,was photogenic; her story seemed almost too fantastic to be believable (it was); and there was photographic proof of her moving the corpse of her boyfriend, Travis,
In the event, the prosecution deconstructed her lies and used incontrovertible evidence based on sound investigative work. The author goes into detail about how he did this and how, when it seemed he had hit a brick wall, his persistence in assessing all of the evidence paid off.
It brings home the fact that what we see in the nightly news is a distillation of years of hard work by law enforcement and men and women like Martinez. Conversely, as a comparison, it also highlights just how poorly-researched and dubious some other prosecutions have been in recent years.
Anyway, the book was well written and the narration first class. I'd recommend this to those who enjoy true crime and those who like to read about trials or stand-out cases.
