45:19Now PlayingThe Jodi Arias trial had become a national spectacle, but the case still came down to one question: was she finally telling the truth—or delivering her most convincing performance yet? In Episode 3 of Fatal Attraction: The Story of Jodi Arias, Dr. Phil examines the extraordinary decision to put Jodi on the stand for 18 days, giving prosecutors repeated opportunities to challenge her shifting stories, self-defense claim and credibility. Behind bars, Jodi recruited loyal defenders, including former cellmate Donavan Bering, who helped shape her public image. Years later, Donavan reversed course, calling Jodi a cold-blooded killer and saying she believed she had been manipulated. Dr. Phil breaks down how charm, emotional bonding and “recruiting allies” can distort judgment—before the jury rejects Jodi’s defense, convicts her of first-degree murder and sends the case into a dramatic death-penalty battle. Now serving life without parole, Jodi is again fighting to overturn her conviction.
