PHOENIX (AP) - A woman charged in the Arizona stabbing and shooting death of her lover has continued testifying about previous boyfriends who cheated on her throughout her life.
Jodi Arias is back on the stand Tuesday in a case that has been peppered with lurid stories of sex, lies and violence.
The 32-year-old could face the death penalty if convicted.
On Monday, Arias told jurors how she endured an abusive childhood at the hands of her parents and planned to commit suicide after she killed Travis Alexander.
Arias claims she killed him in self-defense in June 2008 at his suburban Phoenix home after he cheated on her and became abusive.
Prosecutors say she stabbed and slashed him nearly 30 times, slit his throat and shot him in the head in a fit of jealous rage.
