Wrong. The Alexander family and Martinez refused to give in to her blackmail and forced her to take it to trial.
According to the motion, on Oct. 26, 2010, Jodi Arias stated she would plead to second degree murder if the state agreed to the sentencing guidelines for someone who does not have a criminal record. Nurmi wrote the motion but it smacked of Arias arrogant know it all attitude.
The motion didn’t list the sentencing guideline but I believe it is eight years for someone with no criminal record. By then she had already been in prison for two years. So she was basically wanting to spend six more years in prison and then get out of prison and obsess and stalk and kill another guy who wouldn’t marry her.
I find it interesting that in the motion, Jodi Arias says it would require “the feat of mental gymnastics” to believe that Arias would be found guilty of felony or first degree premeditation because of the demeaning, degrading and abusive behavior of Travis Alexander.
The motion lists all the evidence Arias has against Alexander: the text messages, the sex tape, the emails and says a plea would save the Mormon community and family embarrassment of a trial.
Because of the “chaotic relationship," the motion states the most she would get is manslaughter.
It also says Jodi Arias does not believe she will get the death penalty so she is not going to plead guilty to first degree murder.
I wonder why she didn’t just agree to plead to manslaughter because that’s what she thought she would be convicted of if she didn’t walk on self defense.
She was wrong because the jury found her guilty of  first degree murder (8-4 felony and 12-0 premeditation.)
I hope she is wrong and she gets the death penalty also.

WOW, I just read from the above link and was struck by the arrogance and manipulation in full force by Arias.
And having read this and then gone on to watching this trial unfold, she came through with all of her threats. Everything she said was presented in graphic detail and ad nauseum. She trashed Travis to the point that there was nothing else she could say about him. She used experts that were suspect to back her story of DV. She has trashed her own family and gone after each and every girlfriend of Travis' that she could. She even went as far as to make accusations against the prosecution and the police department. I am surprised she has left JSS out as a target given that it was in her court that Arias' conviction came down.
All of her comments about how it would affect others - the Mormon church, marriages and the Alexander family having to hear all the dirty stuff (et al) that she would present is not the reason she wanted to plead out.
She stated she had regret for all the stories she had told - not being there, the ninja story.
THAT IS WHY SHE WANTED TO PLEA OUT!
She knew once this came to light in a trial, her true personality would be exposed and especially that she is a pathological liar.
Manslaughter - not a chance.
Second-Degree Murder - not a chance.
Martinez and the Alexander family knew that they had the facts and evidence to support a PREMEDITATED First Degree Felony Murder charge with Extreme Cruelty.
They did not fall for her attempt to blackmail them through manipulation and subsequently a lesser sentence. They saw right through her and were and are confident of their decision.
Arias has done everything that she said she would do and more.
Didn't work for her, did it?
Arias - you are not as smart as you think you are.
