PHOENIX — In this episode of Amazing Arizonans, I have a conversation with Kirk Nurmi.
Kirk is best known for being the attorney for convicted murderer Jodi Arias. But his life after defending Arias is truly remarkable.
I met Kirk because I (like many people) assumed that he came up with the defense strategy for Arias.
After watching a documentary about the case, I realized that I was wrong and had Kirk as a guest on my show to apologize.
His book “Trapped With Ms. Arias” tells a harrowing story. He believes that the stress of that trial caused him to develop cancer.
His story of beating cancer and reclaiming his life is truly inspirational. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
