A judge has ruled against a motion to allow less restrictive video coverage in convicted boyfriend killer Jodi Arias' upcoming death penalty retrial.

Back in May 2013, Arias was found guilty of the first-degree murder of her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander, who was killed in his Phoenix home in 2008. According to medical examiners, Arias stabbed him 27 times, primarily in the back, torso and heart. She also slit Alexander's throat from ear to ear, nearly decapitating him, and shot him in the face before she dragged his bloodied corpse to the shower.

Although Arias was convicted of murder, the jurors failed to reach a unanimous decision on her sentencing. As a result, her retrial is slated to begin on Sept. 29 to determine whether she should be sentenced to death, life in prison or life with a chance of release after serving 25 years, according to Reuters. 

Unlike Arias' first trial, which was a media circus, media coverage will be strictly limited in her death penalty trial. Maricopa County Court Judge Sherry Stephens has prohibited live video broadcasting from the new trial and restricted video of the proceedings from public access until after the retrial is over.

Following the restrictions, an attorney representing local television stations filed a motion earlier this month seeking to allow limited TV coverage to be aired 30 minutes after court ends.

However, after considering the motion, Judge Stephen released her ruling on Monday stating that video will only be allowed after the verdict, reports KTAR News.

"The Court is mindful of its obligation to allow public and media access to the trial. That access should not include live broadcast of the trial prior to a verdict for the reasons addressed in previous sealed proceedings," reads court documents from the ruling.

According to the ruling, only one camera, photographs and live tweeting will be allowed inside the courtroom.

"The public and media may attend the penalty phase trial each day. The media will be permitted to videotape the trial each day using their own equipment. The videotaped recordings may be played after a verdict has been reached. During the trial, Court policy allows the media to "tweet" from the courtroom. A still camera has been authorized to be in the courtroom during the trial. At the conclusion of the trial, the Court's FTR recordings will be available to the public following a public record request and payment of required fees," it states.
