Convicted killer Jodi Arias pauses for a moment during an interview at the Maricopa County Estrella Jail in 2013.
"Yes," Arias responded.
"When is the first time that you admitted that to anyone?" her lawyer followed.
"In 2010," Arias said.
"This happened in 2008, didn't it?," Willmott asked.
"Yes."
"Why did it take you two years to admit that, that you did it?"
"It took me that long to be able to admit to myself that — that I did it."
"Why did it take you that long to admit it to yourself?"
"Because — because what I did was so horrific that I couldn't have — I could never have imagined myself doing that to another human being."
