"I just had the sense he was chasing me," Arias said to the jury.

Arias claimed that Alexander was enraged when she dropped his camera. He then, picked her up and body-slammed her to the ground, causing a head injury.

Arias allegedly took photos of Alexander after he was dead. The jury questioned her about that and why she decided to clean up the mess.

"I don't know why I would have done that," Arias replied.

Arias has changed her story about what really happened before, during and after the murder. But since the start of the trial, she and the defense have stuck with the defense that boyfriend Travis Alexander was abusive towards her.

According to SeattlePI, Arias did not provide any significant new details about the case.

The prosecution in the murder case is claiming that Arias was jealous of Alexander and a new relationship.
