The live court session for Jodi Arias' first-degree murder trial will resume on Thursday for the 2008 Arizona killing of Travis Alexander. The trial can be watched via the free live stream below.

The infamous juror No. 5, who was booted from court on April 2, has spoken out about her removal from Arias' trial publicly for the first time.

Meliha Omanovic, 38, a north Phoenix resident, is a Bosnian immigrant. Omanovic came to Phoenix when she was 18 after her family escaped the civil war in the country that was then known as Yugoslavia. She met her husband in Phoenix and they have a daughter. She is a stay-at-home mom and her husband is a truck driver.

Arizona's NBC 12 News caught up with Omanovic outside of her home and asked her about the media attention she received after her removal from the jury on April 2.

"I didn't come there for attention, I came to be part of the trial, I did nothing wrong" Omanovic told NBC 12 News. "For the past four months, it was part of my life. I get attached to things, and I take it very seriously," she said.

Omanovic admitted that the reason for her removal was "related to a joke" and said she "did not do anything wrong."

Arizona's NBC 12 News reporter said that he learned from two sources what the offhand comment she said that led to her getting kicked out of the jury.

According to sources, after defense expert Dr. Richard Samuels was asked about his hourly rate and he replied that it was $300 an hour, Omanovic told her fellow jurors: "For $300 bucks per hour you'd think that they could get us better chairs to sit in."

Omanovic insists that she did not deserve to be dismissed and she's "eager" to give her side of the story after the trial ends.

Arias' defense attorney, Kirk Nurmi , filed a request for a mistrial and the removal of juror No. 5 because  she said prejudiced statements in front of her fellow jurors. Nurmi wrote on April 1 that her as-yet-unrevealed comments constitute a "misconduct that inserted partiality in what is supposed to be an impartial body," according to Arizona Republic.

"Ms. Arias takes the position that the statements Juror 5 made in front of her fellow jurors amounts to misconduct," Arias' attorney wrote. "Given the evidence that came forward on March 28, 2013, it is beyond legitimate dispute that Juror 5 is not fair and impartial making her unfit to continue as a juror."

The details about juror No.5's statements have not been made public because the court documents are sealed, but shortly after her removal, Omanovic released a statement that said would not give any interviews to discuss her removal.

Arias has been on trial for three months because  autopsy records showed that she stabbed Alexander over 27 times, slit his throat from ear to ear and shot him in the head. According to police, she lied twice at first about how Alexander was killed and later admitted that she killed him in an act of self-defense. If she is convicted of the murder and the lies that she confessed to, she will likely face the death penalty and become the fourth woman in Arizona's history to die by lethal injection.

Defense witness Dr. Alyce LaViolette, a domestic violence expert, is expected to return to the witness stand for a cross-examination with prosecutor Juan Martinez.
