Jodi Arias Lawyers Try to Push Retrial into Next Year

The drawn-out trial of convicted murderer Jodi Arias could go on for possibly another year in Phoenix, Ariz., if a judge overseeing the convicted murderer’s case agrees to delay her sentencing hearing until January 2014.
Arias’ attorneys filed a motion this week in Superior Court in Maricopa County asking Judge Sherry Stephens to delay the proceedings, saying they needed to find witnesses to testify on Arias’ behalf and had scheduling conflicts with the current start date of July 18.

Arias was convicted of killing her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander in May, but the jury that convicted her could not agree whether Arias deserved the death penalty. Eight jurors voted to sentence her to death while four voted for life in prison.
