On Thursday night, HLN’s Dr. Drew talked to one of the reporters who heard Jodi Arias explain why she did a headstand while she was alone in an interrogation room in July of 2008.

“It was such an odd answer, Dr. Drew,” ABC15’s Amy Murphy explained. “She said, ‘The reason I did a headstand after I had been charged is because I looked around, and I saw this beautiful carpet on the floor, and I figured I was going to a place where I wouldn't have carpeting anymore and I like to do headstands on carpet.’  That was her answer."
