About this listen

Juan Martinez, the fiery prosecutor who convicted notorious murderer Jodi Arias for the disturbing killing of Travis Alexander, speaks for the first time about the shocking investigation and sensational trial that captivated the nation.

Through two trials, America watched with bated breath as Juan Martinez fought relentlessly to convict Jodi Arias of Murder One for viciously stabbing her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander to death. What emerged was a story wrought with sex, manipulation, and deceit that stunned the public at every turn. Arias, always playing the wronged and innocent woman, changed her story continually as her bizarre behavior surrounding the crime and its aftermath came to light. Unwavering, Arias and her defense team continued to play off the salacious details of the case, until she was finally found guilty and - controversially - sentenced to life behind bars.

Now, speaking openly for the first time, prosecutor Juan Martinez will unearth new details from the investigation that were never revealed at trial, exploring key facts from the case and the pieces of evidence he chose to keep close to the vest. Throughout the trials, his bullish and unfaltering prosecution strategy was both commended and criticized, and in his book, Martinez will illuminate the unique tactics he utilized in this case and how they lead to a successful conviction, and - for the first time - discuss how he felt losing the death penalty sentence he’d pursued for years.

Going beyond the news reports, Martinez will explore the truth behind the multiple facades of Jodi Arias. Sparring with her from across the stand, Martinez came to know Arias like no one else could, dissecting what it took for a seemingly normal girl to become a deluded, cunning, and unrepentant murderer.

With new stories from behind the scenes of the trial and Martinez’s own take on his defendant, the book takes you inside the mind of Jodi Arias like never before and is the definitive account of the case that shocked America.

Juan Martinez invested countless hours formulating a strategy and an order for witnesses, questioning, and when to reveal information. His meticulous preparation for this trial was amazing to listen to. I finished listening to this book in two days. He's a fantastic prosecutor!

Great Book!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It was very well done and very detailed. It really broke down the case in a granular way. It showed the monster Jodi for who she really is.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Conviction?

Can't pick one specific, but the breakdown of how the crime happened was quite interesting.

Which character – as performed by Patrick Lawlor – was your favorite?

All of them, he did a good job, even with Jodi, his pauses and tone matched how I saw her on TV.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The thing that bothered me the most was she destroyed a family and brutalized a man for her own selfish reasons and then lied about it until the very end. Soulless POS.

Any additional comments?

I don't believe in the Death Penalty, but if someone deserved it, it would be Jodi Aris.

Very detailed and disturbing.

Juan takes you behind the scenes and places you in his shoes. He runs down the trial and offers many snippets of his personal thoughts throughout. Travis Alexander was very much present, through Juan and the entire prosecution team and their witnesses. This book is absolutely a page-turner and one I will read over and over. Although I've never personally seen Juan display accolades for being a ”hero” in this story, he very much is! Great narration through audible as well!

Well worth every minute
