Jodi Arias trial update today: Jodi Arias took to Twitter to slam rumors that her family profited from her trial. Jodi Arias tweeted that she was trying to file for bankruptcy.

Jodi Arias became a household name when her trial was watched in millions of homes and  streamed live on the internet. Jodi Arias has since been the subject of TV movies, books and even an upcoming song by a former Bee Gee, but she is barred from profiting from her crime through movie deals or book deals under Arizona's Son of Sam laws.

The rumor that Jodi Arias is profiting from the trial comes from her attempts to sell her artwork.

Jodi Arias took to Twitter to dispel the rumor, tweeting, "That rumor that somehow my family profited from my trial? Absurd."

Later Jodi Arias tweeted, "I'm filing for bankruptcy (if I can ever afford to do so)."

The Jodi Arias trial continues on October 24 when attorneys meet to discuss a possible settlement that could take the death penalty off the table. The first Jodi Arias trial ended with a conviction but not a sentence.

In May a jury found Jodi Arias, 32, guilty of premeditated first-degree murder for the June 2008 brutal slaying of Travis Alexander, her former boyfriend. The medical examiners' reports showed that Arias stabbed Alexander 27 times in the torso, chest, heart, and back, shot him in the face, and slit his throat from ear to ear with such violence that he was almost decapitated in less than two minutes. Because of the extreme violence with which she killed Alexander and her resolute insistence that she was defending herself from repeated domestic abuse, the public was polarized during the trial.

Because of the excessive publicity, Jodi Arias attorneys have already filed motions requesting that the sentencing phase of the trial be moved out of the Phoenix area. Lawyers also want Jodi Arias trial live stream television coverage prohibited for the retrial.

Jodi Arias' lawyers also requested the names of jurors' Twitter accounts to make sure they're not tweeting details about the Jodi Arias murder trial on the social media site.

Jodi Arias' murder conviction stands. Under Arizona law, prosecutors have the option of pursuing a second penalty phase with a new jury to get the death sentence. If the second jury fails to reach a verdict, the death penalty would be removed as an option. The judge will then sentence Jodi Arias to  life behind bars or be decide that she may be eligible for release after 25 years.

Jodi Arias admitted she killed Travis Alexander, but said she acted in self-defense because he was given to bouts of rage. Prosecutors said the killing was premeditated and fueled by jealous rage after Alexander said he wanted to break up with Jodi Arias and go to Mexico with another woman.
