Martinez on Wednesday said that Alexander told another woman in an email that he was "extremely afraid" of Arias' "stalking behavior."

LaViolette acknowledged the email's contents, but disputed that it meant Arias was stalking the victim.

Arias faces a possible death sentence if convicted of first-degree murder in the June 2008 killing of Alexander in his suburban Phoenix home.  Authorities say she planned the attack.  Arias says it was self-defense.
