Jodi Arias will be sentenced next Thursday, and the court will decide whether she lives or gets the death penalty. Arias was convicted of slaying her ex-boyfriend, shooting and stabbing him multiple times.

Her trial has been a media circus, but, through the penalty phase, everything will be decided behind closed doors. According to My Fox Phoenix, her attorneys are already meeting with the judge.

Arias is communicating with her many supporters on Twitter, which she is using through a third party. She has set up an account and she is receiving donations.

"Donations are now being accepted for my appeals at Justice4Jodi.com," she posted on Wednesday.

Arias was found guilty in the horrific murder on May 8 of this year. She has admitted to the killing.
