So what is it like for the jury right now, deciding the fate of Jodi Arias after so many months of testimony? We sat down with one valley man who has been in that situation, and he says it's easy.

If found guilty, Jodi Arias faces the death penalty. If she is sentenced to death, she would join a very small group. Only three women sit on Arizona's death row, each guilty of a terrible crime.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A man convicted in the 1984 kidnapping and murder of an 8-year-old Tucson girl is suing state prison officials over his religious freedoms.
Frank Jarvis Atwood claims prison officials are no longer allowing him to meet with his priest two hours per week, as he has done for the past 12 years.
The Arizona Daily Star says Atwood claims he can only meet with his priest one hour per month.
His lawsuit says that isn't enough time to perform the "required elements" of his religion.
The 57-year-old Atwood was sentenced to death in May 1987 for the killing of 8-year-old Vicki Lynne Hoskinson.
Her skeletal remains were found in April 1985, seven months after she disappeared while riding her bicycle.
