Juan Martinez has signed a deal with William Morrow, a HarperCollins imprint, for Conviction: The Untold Story of Putting Jodi Arias Behind Bars. Martinez has become well-known for serving as one of the leading prosecutors on the Jodi Arias murder trial.
Here’s more from the press release: “Over the course of almost seven years, America watched as determined prosecutor Juan Martinez fought relentlessly to convict Jodi Arias of Murder One for viciously murdering her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander. What emerged at the trial was a story wrought with sex, manipulation, and deceit that stunned the public. 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.”
Lisa Sharkey, a senior vice president and director of creative development, negotiated the deal with Steve Troha, an agent at Folio Literary Management. Matt Harper, an executive editor, will edit the manuscript. The finished book will feature 16 pages of photographs. The publication date has been scheduled for Feb. 16, 2016.
