If found guilty, Jodi Arias faces the death penalty. If she is sentenced to death, she would join a very small group. Only three women sit on Arizona's death row, each guilty of a terrible crime.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A group of retired educators are working to honor a Mexican-American scholar who is celebrated across the country but virtually unknown in New Mexico where he was born.
An ad hoc committee is working on a series of projects aimed at honoring the late-George I. Sanchez. In addition, state lawmakers are scheduled next week to read a memorial about his contributions to Latino education.
Retired University of New Mexico bilingual education professor Luisa Duran says the committee also is looking into ways to name a street and building after Sanchez, who wrote the 1940 classic book "Forgotten People" about plight of poor Mexican Americans in Taos.
Dozen or so schools in Texas and California are named in honor of Sanchez. But no school in New Mexico bears his name.
