Convicted boyfriend killer Jodi Arias recently objected to a new motion seeking to allow television news coverage of her upcoming sentencing retrial, arguing that it will hurt her chances to get a fair trial.

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 later this month 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 became 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 shot during proceedings to air until after the retrial.

As a result, an attorney representing local television stations filed a motion seeking to allow limited TV coverage to be aired 30 minutes after court ends, KPNX reported.

However, Arias delivered a verbal objection to the motion during a hearing in the Maricopa County Superior Court on Tuesday.

"The damage has already been done," she told Judge Stephens, NBC affiliate KPNX reported. "There is more damage that can be done."

Arias has also decided to act as her own attorney in the upcoming penalty phase trial.

"Stephens set oral argument on the question for Sept. 15," reports AZ Central.
