Yep, she did so when she proclaimed that while others are entitled to their opinions, she is indeed a survivor of domestic violence!!
She held up the shirt and, being the philanthropist that she is, announced that proceeds from the sell of the shirts will go towards helping "other" victims/survivors.
Here's what the Jodi Innocence site (the one authorized as "official" by Jodi and her mom) has on its front page:
The new “Survivor” t-shirts are now available. A portion of the profits generated from the sales will support other survivors of domestic violence, and go to Non-profit Domestic Violence organizations selected by Jodi.

Today, at the sentencing phase for the premeditated slaughter of Travis Alexander, during her final opportunity to tell the jury and the Alexander family her priorities/feelings about her crimes, Jodi Arias chose to peddle her two money-making jail-based businesses before a national/global audience; the artwork and the t-shirts.
My bet: 60 / 40 odds in favor of death.
The law fully supports the death penalty in this case and the jury is so qualified. But, it has to be unanimous and I could see one or two jurors figuring the BPD diagnosis as a mitigating factor, whether it was directly presented as such or not. Negotiation may be required to reach a sentencing verdict, which could mean settling downward instead of being hung.
