Arias, 32, is charged with the brutal 2008 murder of Alexander, 30. He was stabbed over two dozen times, was shot in the head, and his throat was slashed. She claims she killed him in self-defense, but during the trial Arias has testified she does not remember much about the confrontation the two had that eventually led to his death.

Psychologist Richard Samuels, who said he’s met with Arias in jail more than 12 times, testified Thursday that “A large percentage of individuals who are in such settings do not remember or have cloudy or foggy memories of what has transpired… We are more concerned with survival.” Samuels also said he believes Arias suffers from post traumatic stress disorder.
