Armato said he conducted some interviews and got a DNA buccal swab from Bonnie Sievers.

They knew she had access to the home while Teresa was away to watch the dogs so they took her DNA.

Moving quickly through witnesses this afternoon. Next up, a Lee County Sgt. who worked violent crimes and took a DNA swab from Mark Sievers’ mom. Testified that’s standard for “elimination”. #SieversTrial @winknews

He said it is standard to take DNA from those who aren't suspects for standard elimination.

He is released from the stand.

I wonder why they had to call that detective just to testify that he took a DNA swab for elimination from MS's mom. Was there going to be an issue over that ?

Wouldn't it just be a simple stipulation in which both sides agreed it happened?

They want it fresh in the juries minds for some reason.

whoaaaaa...when Dr P pointed Mark out, the look Mark was giving...wow

OMAMA....so glad you noticed the " you-SOB-glare", too. If my doctor looked at me the way Dr.P looked at MS, I would be expecting him to say, "You are terminally ill and there is no cure."

Next up on the stand, a paramedic who responded to Teresa Sievers’ home in Bonita Springs in 2015. #SieversTrial @winknews Brooke Shafer on Twitter

@winknews Paramedic said they were only in the house briefly. Saw the victim on the ground with "injuries that were incompatible with life". They did not attempt any life-saving measures at that point. #SieversTrial @winknews

Seviers calling the doctor to have him look in to see if his wife was okay was odd under any circumstances given that his own mother (isn't his mother Bonnie Seviers?) was taking care of the family pets while he was out of town.

John Armato from the Lee County Sheriff's Office was briefly on the stand.

He said he collected buccal swabs from Bonnie Sievers as a protocol to eliminate her DNA from the crime scene investigation.

Bonnie had visited the home that weekend to care for the dogs.

Court is back in. Our next witness is going to be Michael Downs at LCSO.

The state now calls Michael Downs, a Lieutenant with the Lee County Sheriff's Office.

Assistant State Attorney Cynthia Ross is asking Downs about his role with the department in 2015. He said he was assigned to the homicide unit at the time.

He was chosen by Mark to do it. Mark had specific plans......

June 29, 2015, Downs was working and he responded to the scene at the Sievers' home.

Next witness on the stand is Detective Michael Downs, from LCSO.

He responded to the crime scene and was involved in the Teresa Sievers murder investigation.

Kaitlin Greenockle (@kaitlinroseg) Tweeted:
With any potential homicide scene they have to preserve evidence, Downs said.

Ross is showing him a photo of a home, and he said that it was the home he responded to.

Downs said they first got a brief from the first responding deputies and then he looked inside to confirm that a crime had been commited.

Kaitlin Greenockle (@kaitlinroseg) Tweeted:
He said he did not do a full walk through of the home at that time.

Then he was directed to do a neighborhood canvas.

Downs said he was not the only detective conducting the neighborhood canvas.

Later that night, he did a walk through of the home. He went through most of the house and get a feel for the scene.
