PHOENIX (AP) — The prosecutor in Jodi Arias’ murder trial worked Tuesday to portray the defendant as a manipulative liar who “liked to play the victim” as he questioned a defense witness’ contention that Arias suffered domestic abuse at the hands of the one-time boyfriend she has admitted to killing.

Psychotherapist Alyce LaViolette has been testifying for more than a week about her conclusion that Arias was a victim of both physical and emotional abuse by her lover.
