I don't want to eat those words.
I've always thought that it was highly unlikely that Jodi Arias would be sentenced to death. Now, with her post-verdict interview and behavior that can be used against her in sentencing, I think it's more likely than not that she'll get the death penalty. Total turnabout for me.
It takes so long to execute prisoners that she'll be alive for a good long time if she is sentenced to death. IMO, the dying before her natural life span has ended wouldn't be the worst part of a death penalty sentence for Arias. The worst part of that sentence for a narcissistic attention hound like her would be the isolation from other prisoners (marks, for her) and being limited to only an hour outside per day.
Right now, I see it as 60⁄40 odds in favor of Jodi Arias spending the rest of her life on death row.
