Video shows Jodi Arias laugh, do headstand, only minutes before murder charge

A disturbing video has surfaced showing Jodi Arias laughing, singing, worried about her makeup, and doing headstands only minutes prior to being charged with murder, according to a March 15, 2013 Fox News report.

The images were captured by a police surveillance camera on July 15, 2008, after a four-hour long interrogation regarding the brutal death of Arias’ former lover, Arizona man Travis Alexander.

Arias, 32, is charged with the 2008 murder of Alexander, 30. He was stabbed over two dozen times, was shot in the head, and his throat was slashed.
