PHOENIX — Convicted murderer Jodi Arias has filed a lawsuit claiming that she was neglected health care and infected with Hepatitis C while in a Maricopa County jail.

She said she contracted the disease through an infected needle when she was given a tuberculosis vaccine.

“She’s getting ready to go back to court. I presume she’s trying to get publicity since I did cut off any visits by the media to her jail,” Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Saturday.
