Jodi Arias asks group to cease using her name to collect funds

PHOENIX (KSAZ) - A group collecting money for Jodi Arias' defense has released a recording of a conversation with Arias. In the phone call, Arias asks a different group to stop using her name to collect money.

This is the first time we've heard her voice since first trial.

Despite being convicted of killing Travis Alexander, Jodi Arias still has a legion of supporters.  Some of them are even raising money for her defense.

"I want the collection of money to stay within my family," said Arias in a recorded jail house phone call posted on JodiAriasIsInnocent.com.  In the call, Arias demands a different web site stop raising money in her name.

"Someone had told her that you had said online last night that I was supportive of the site and I don't want to give people that impression because I can't support the site right now as long as you guys are collecting money," said Arias.

Arias tells the woman she wants all donations to go to the fund being run by her family.

"The problem is that when people donate to a cause they believe in, they wanna know where the money is gonna go.  But at this point, they don't know where it's gonna go unless they donate to the trust.  It can only go there."

In a separate development, the court corrected an error on documents recently released, which stated Arias was asking that an investigator visit the scene of the bloody murder.  The court said Arias never actually made that request -- instead she asked to have access to evidence in the custody of the Mesa Police Department.

Her sentencing retrial will begin on September 29.

Jodi Arias has some nerve asking anyone to stop collecting money in her name when she HAS been using Travis Alexander's name, (the man that she murdered), to sell what her supporters are saying is her artwork.  The artwork being sold by Jodi Arias's supporters on a website may not be the work of Jodi Arias.
