About this episode
Dr. Phil examines the complexities of Jodi Arias's defense claim regarding memory loss during the murder of Travis Alexander.
Jodi Arias no longer denied killing Travis Alexander. Her defense now rested on a far more complicated claim: she acted in self-defense, then entered a trauma-induced “fog” that erased her memory of stabbing him dozens of times, slashing his throat and attempting to conceal the crime. In Episode 2 of Fatal Attraction: The Story of Jodi Arias , Mystery and Murder: Analysis by Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil examines whether extreme stress can genuinely fracture memory or whether Jodi’s amnesia conveniently begins and ends around the most incriminating evidence.
