It looks like the smile on Jodi Arias' face had been wiped clean after her life sentence was ordered by the Maricopa County Supreme Court early this week.

Compared to the first mug shot of the convicted murderer when she was initially booked in where Arias was all smiles, the most recent mug shot where she is already donning the orange prison uniform showed that she was almost in the brink of tears.

The 34-year-old woman was convicted for murdering her then-boyfriend Travis Alexander back in 2008. Arias admitted that she brutally killed Alexander, but it was only because of self-defense.

Earlier reports about the crime claimed that Alexander was stabbed almost 30 times and eventually shot in his own home in Phoenix. Arias allegedly drove to Utah after the crime to meet another man.

Her first highly controversial trial in 2013 did not result in a sentencing, which is why a second jury was called to determine what sentence should be given to her.

Arias received the life in prison sentence after the second set of jury voted 11-1 for the death sentence. The result was also very controversial, since most of the juries believed that the sole jury who voted against death was sympathetic to the murderer.

Local and international news agencies followed the trials since the beginning. At first, Arias denied her involvement in the crime and told an interviewer that several masked people broke into Alexander's home and killed him while she was hiding somewhere to save her life. But she eventually retracted the story and claimed that she was only protecting herself from Alexander. However, the prosecutors claimed that Arias killed Alexander because she found out that the latter was planning to break up with her.

Arias is currently spending time at the Perryville Women's Prison in Goodyear.
