Dianne Schwartz, one of the eight jurors who voted for death in the last trial, has been sitting in the courtroom during the retrial.
She said in an article on CBS 5 Internet site:
"Jodi Arias scares me - she really scares me," said Schwartz. "I think that if Jodi had gotten away with this, it could have easily happened again."
Schwartz said she's seen nothing in this trial that's changed her mind.
"I would like to see the death penalty, however, what I've learned in the process is that while I support the death penalty, and I want it to happen, I know how hard it is," said Schwartz.
The former juror said it is still emotional for her to watch events unfold in the courtroom, especially seeing the pain that Alexander's family is going through.
Schwartz said that no matter what the verdict is - justice has already been served.
Her only hope now -is that this jury can make a unanimous decision either way.
"What I hope is that they come back with a verdict, and are not hung," said Schwartz. "I dont want this to be a hung jury."
The former juror said it would be unfair to predict what this jury will do.
