The jury in Jodi Arias' murder trial concluded its second full day of deliberations on Tuesday without reaching a verdict.

Jurors adjourned late Tuesday afternoon and will resume Wednesday morning. They got the case Friday afternoon but only deliberated for about an hour.

Arias, 32, is charged with first-degree murder in the June 4, 2008, death of her one-time boyfriend at his suburban Phoenix home. Authorities say she killed Travis Alexander in a jealous rage after he wanted to end their affair and had been planning to head off on a trip to Mexico with another woman. Arias initially denied involvement, then blamed it on two masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, she said she killed Alexander in self-defence when he attacked her after a day of sex.

Alexander suffered nearly 30 knife wounds, was shot in the forehead and had his throat slit. His decomposing body was found by friends crumpled in his shower about five days after the killing.

Testimony began in early January. The case has become a cable TV sensation with its lurid tales of sex, lies and betrayal. Hundreds of spectators flocked to the courthouse daily during the trial for a chance to score just a few open seats available to the public inside the courtroom.

As deliberations drag on, dozens of people gather daily on the courthouse steps waiting for a verdict.
