The pretty 32-year-old, convicted of first-degree murder Wednesday for
the gruesome slaying of her former lover, said in a post-verdict
interview that she prefers death to life behind bars.
The worst outcome for me would be natural life,” Arias told Phoenix’s
Fox 10. “I would rather die much sooner than later. Longevity runs in
the family, and I don’t want to spend the rest of my natural life in one
place.”
“I believe death is the ultimate freedom,” added Arias, who has been
placed on suicide watch, according to authorities. “So I’d rather have
my freedom as soon as I can get it.”
It took an Arizona jury just 15 hours to reach a unanimous verdict
after a four-month trial — and Arias now faces a death sentence or life
in prison.
