PHOENIX (AP) - The jury foreman in Jodi Arias' murder trial says the 18 days she spent on the witness stand didn't do her any good. William Zervakos says the jury began the case presuming innocence, but Arias told many contradictory stories while testifying. Zervakos was interviewed on ABC's "Good Morning America" today, a day after the judge declared a mistrial when the jury couldn't decide whether to sentence Arias to death or to life in prison for killing her boyfriend.
