In order to avoid the death penalty, convicted murderer Jodi Arias has hinted she might take a plea deal rather than appealing her conviction.
On Saturday, hours ahead of the Lifetime film based on her situation Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret aired, she took to Twitter to share her thoughts.
She first wrote:
Let's clear up any confusion. Anyone asking 4 donation$ right now on my behalf 4 my appeals is not legit.

She further explained, saying “I'm not currently accepting donations 4 appeals. Just don't know yet if I will plea or appeal.”
ABC News reports that this could mean that Arias is weighing her options when it comes to possibly accepting a plea deal that would allow her to escape the death penalty.
In May, Arias was convicted of the 2007 murder of her boyfriend Travis Alexander. In July, a new jury will be decided to settle whether or not she will be executed. If a second jury can’t decide, it will be left up to the judge to decide if Arias would get life with or without the option of parole.
