Live blog: Will Martinez end rebuttal with a bang?
By Graham Winch
updated 12:16 PM EDT, Thu April 25, 2013

Prosecutor Juan Martinez could end his rebuttal case in the Jodi Arias trial Thursday with an emotional finale.

Martinez is expected to call medical examiner Kevin Horn back to the witness stand to rebut Arias' testimony of how she killed her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander.

Arias testified earlier that she shot Alexander in the head first in self-defense, but doesn’t remember stabbing him multiple times and slitting his throat. However, she did acknowledge, while sobbing uncontrollably, that logically she must have been the person that attacked Alexander with the knife.

Horn will likely testify about his autopsy of Alexander’s body, and why he believes Alexander was stabbed first and that the gunshot wound was inflicted after Alexander had already died because of a lack of hemorrhaging in the wound.

The sequencing could become even more important later in the trial because this is a death penalty case. If the jury convicts Arias of first-degree murder and the prosecution can prove that Arias was cruel and caused Alexander to suffer, she may be sentenced to death. However, if the defense can show that Alexander was shot in the head first, attorneys can argue that all of Alexander's other wounds were inflicted after he died, so he didn't suffer. That could save Arias from the death penalty.

Judge Sherry Stephens has announced that after Thursday's testimony, court will not be in session until next Wednesday, when the defense is expected to call one last witness to refute new evidence Martinez introduced during his rebuttal.

So the defense is getting another witness! That pizzes me off!! A second bite of the apple because they picked two losers to begin with!!!

I sympathise with the family, but they may well agree that the details of the autopsy are VERY damning evidence against Jodi. It proves her latest story is still total fiction...... her entire defence is a farce really.. since it is an attempt to find experts to back a fairy tale. Having a "Snow White " expert was appropriate.

Jodi doesn't know WHAT to do to hurt Travis' family! After living many moons, I have NEVER EVER
SEEN anything or anyone SO EVIL and CRUEL! KARMA! KARMA! Wake up!!!!!

Killed Travis in most horrendous slashing way - 3 times over.
Sent flowers to the woman who raised him - his Grandmother. The KILLER!!!!
Smiles at his thin sister. (Duper's Delight). VERY upsetting to her, she said.
She KNEW she was "drawing" pictures, (copying pictures), of her (they are obviously her), and SELLING THEM!!!
NOW ... she is telling them Travis had a child ... who she "lost". Abortion? And it's mother was the spawn of Satan??

I think every time, EVERY TIME she opens her mouth IT - - IS - - A - - LIE. I think every once in awhile some truth sneaks into her lies... rarely.

Maybe most of the family should leave the room ... a couple of them stay?

If indeed Jodi is drawing their pictures in the courtroom then why hasn't the Judge put a stop to it?

Particularly if she's profiting from the pictures....I just don't see how that can happen.

1:17 p.m. ET: Willmott has concluded her questions for Dr. Horn. Martinez is asking Dr. Horn about what happens to the brain when there's an injury to the frontal lobe. Dr. Horn said the shock wave of the bullet would have hurt other parts of the brain in addition to the frontal lobe, and it would have make the individual rapidly lose consciousness. Atttorneys are now reviewing questions from the jury.

1:12 p.m. ET: Dr. Horn said he knows the bullet passed through Alexander frontal lobe despite there was no brain for him to examine, because of decomposition.

1:09 p.m. ET: Willmott is asking Dr. Horn if he ever told detective Esteban Flores if he thought the gunshot was first. Dr. Horn said he doesn't remember ever telling Flores that the gunshot was the first injury.

1:06 p.m. ET: Martinez has concluded his questions for Dr. Horn. Defense attorney Jennifer Willmott is now asking him questions now.

1:03 p.m. ET: Dr. Horn said that blood splatter at the crime scene indicates Alexander was able to crawl down the hall way and also stand above a sink and hover above it. Alexander would not have been able to move if the gunshot was his first injury according to Dr. Horn.

1:01 p.m. ET:

Martinez: "When you say very rapidly incapacitating, what does that mean to those of us who not in the medical profession? Would he have gone down? Would he have stood there? Would he have crawled? What would have happened?"

Dr. Horn: "Uh, he may have been able to take a step or two, probably would have collapsed or lost consciousness within seconds."

1:00 p.m. ET: As Martinez shows the jury pictures of Alexander's wounds Arias appears to be crying and will not look at the photos.

12:58 p.m. ET: Dr. Horn is explaining how the guhshot wound to Alexander's head would have been rapidly incapciatating within seconds. He said Alexander would not have been able to defend himself after the gunshot wound. Martinez is showing the defensive wounds on Alexander's hands to the jury.

12:54 p.m. ET: Martinez has called Dr. Horn back to the witness stand.

12:48 p.m. ET: The attorneys are at a sidebar with the judge.

12:44 p.m. ET: Our producer in the courtroom says members of Alexander's family are in a closed door meeting with the prosecutor.

12:26 p.m. ET: Testimony should begin in a few minutes.

1:24 p.m. ET: Judge Stephens is meeting with the attorneys in her chambers.

1:23 p.m. ET: Dr. Horn has completed his testimony. Judge Stephens has sent the jury out of the courtroom.

1:20 p.m. ET: Juror question: How many times have you seen injuries invloving a .25 caliber gun? Dr. Horn said he has seen wounds from .25 caliber guns about 200 times.

Juror question: Why do you believe Alexander was still alive when his throat was slit? Dr. Horn said he believes he was still alive at that time, because of the amount of the blood came out of that wound.

1:18 p.m. ET: Juror question: Could it be possible that you are wrong about Alexander being able to walk after the gunshot? Dr. Horn said no he thinks there is no chance he has been wrong.
