The Case of Jodi Arias
Summary

One of the first degree murder cases that have been witnessed in history is that of Jodi Arias
whereby she was accused of murder following a multiple stab on the boyfriend (Sarteschi
2017). The case involved the murder of a salesman known as Travis Victor Alexander by his exgirlfriend named Jodi Arias. The two had been involved in a long-term relationship and broke up
due to a number of reasons and therefore had to part ways. The success of the relationship was
not assured and therefore the salesman had to move one (Sarteschi 2017). Murder was one of
the last things that were though to happen to the individual due to a number of issues and
regulations.
Considering the background of the information, Travis Alexander was born in July 1977 and was
killed in 2008 while Jodi Arias was born in July 1980. The duo have been effectively in
relationship and parted ways peacefully until the case erupted that brought about a number of
questions regarding the circumstances and issues that resulted in the case. Strategically, there
was a need to consider a fundamental approach in the promotion of a quality and necessary
strategy for mitigation of challenges and promotion of a competent and strategic measure as
needed (Sarteschi 2017). Some of the ideas expressed in the case indicate that a number of
concepts and issues must be followed for reduction of challenges and promotion of better and
competent measures.
Alexander’s residence was in Mesa, Arizona State where he met his death through murder by
ex-girlfriend Jodi Arias (Sarteschi 2017). There were a number of indicators that confirmed the
death case and it included multiple stabs and other issues that indicated that truly the victim
had undergone a number of traumatic experiences that reduced the level of effectiveness and
competence as needed. The success of the policies required that a careful scrutiny is placed in
the murder case so that appropriate evidence are generated and competent strategies applied
for the success of the policies (Sarteschi 2017). Competitively, the need to ensure that better
aspects are applied is good for promotion of quality and necessary techniques as needed.
Evidence of the murder
Justification of the death of alexander as murder was due to the evidence that was availed
regarding the same (Sarteschi 2017). Comparatively, there was the need to successfully
implement better measures and control of challenges s that the precision of the evidence could
be maintained and the level of legitimacy assured which was necessary in determining the case.
The first evidence was the knife stabs that were all over the body of alexander and they
indicated a lot of things when it comes to the strategic policies and integrative measures in
criminal investigation (Sarteschi 2017). The crime scene was precisely murder and nothing
could be done otherwi...
