Demeanor from Wright similar to the way he was in #jimmyrodgersontrial. Wright explaining he lied because he struggled with "my own personal involvement" but came forth of speaking with his attorney and praying. #trialtweets #marksieversontrial #teresasievers #nbc2courtcoverage

I said earlier they need a more engaging witness!

Yeah they took your advice and went for the throat.

This is always hard for a jury to believe everything this witness is going to say. They know about the deal that he has made for his testimony and it can be hard on them to digest everything he will say.

The prosecution is so far doing a good job to get all that out in the open. No sense in trying to hide anything from the jury about the deal LE has made with him.

Attorneys are on a sidebar. Wright looked at his attorney (who is sitting next to me) and appeared to roll his eyes.

Wright started out telling a lie at the first meeting then took a break and met with his attorney, he said.

Then he decided to tell the truth, he said.

A month or two later there was another meeting between the same parties and Wright provided a sworn statement.

He told the truth then, he said.

Wow, I was not expecting Wright!

The look on MS' face - the evil twins meet again. Ugh!! Is this a good move, so early into the trial ... ?


(Hi everyone. Dropped my laptop Mon night, an understanding comp doc took pity on me & I got it back this morning. Thank heavens for Youtube. Glad to be back with my case friends.)

Wright said after high school their friendship changed "Mark got to the point where he was difficult". Defense objected and judge sustained. #trialtweets #marksieversontrial #teresasievers #nbc2courtcoverage
