Attorney Marc J. Victor has been quoted locally, nationally, and internationally on radio, television, in print, and in-person as a legal commentator and expert on many local and national high-profile cases. Mr. Victor was the legal commentator for several media outlets during the Jodi Arias murder trial and has been interviewed extensively during the Jodi Arias Trial for his legal analysis on this case from the beginning.

Jodi Arias was on trial for the murder of her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander. The killing of Travis Alexander occurred on June 4, 2008, at his home in Mesa, Arizona. His wounds consisted of multiple stab wounds, a slit throat, and a shot to the head; the medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Jodi Arias, Alexander’s ex-girlfriend, was charged with his murder, and her trial began on January 2, 2013. Arias testified that she killed Alexander in self-defense. The case received widespread media attention. Her trial was a media circus and was followed all over the United States.

Though Arias’ defense claimed that she had killed her former boyfriend, Alexander, in self-defense, a jury convicted Arias of first-degree murder. Arias was up for the death penalty, but after two mistrials, a judge sentenced Arias to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
