It looks like it's a Lee County Jail jumpsuit.

I believe has been held in Lee County with Mark Sievers in Collier and Wright in Charlotte.

Jimmy Rodgers has entered the courtroom in a red jail jumpsuit.

The prosecution is going to call a few witnesses before the judge sentences Rodgers.

The state plans to present short victim impact and some argument they just announced. They're working to enter business records from the federal bureau of prisons from Rodgers previous case. #trialtweets #TeresaSievers #NBC2CourtCoverage #JimmyRodgersontrial

Legal argument now that the document wasn't created in the normal course of business but rather based on the state's request. Defense says it's doesn't meet business record standards. #trialtweets #TeresaSievers #NBC2CourtCoverage #JimmyRodgersontrial

Carver is trained in latent fingerprinting. (I'm guessing she matched Rodgers fingerprints provided with the fingerprints from his previous arrests/convictions.) #trialtweets #TeresaSievers #NBC2CourtCoverage #JimmyRodgersontrial

Jimmy Rodgers listening as the state requests to consider him as a re-offender recently released from prison based on Florida state law. #trialtweets #TeresaSievers #NBC2CourtCoverage #JimmyRodgersontrial

Why is Mummert’s wife there?

So they hear what is going on. She was there a lot for JRR's trial...….

As we expected, the state is asking that Rodgers be considered a prison releasee re-offender because the crime occurred within three years (less than a year) of his release from federal prison. #trialtweets #TeresaSievers #NBC2CourtCoverage #JimmyRodgersontrial

MAG for victim's impact statement

The judge noted defense objection and overrules, "He'll be sentenced as a prison releasee re-offender." This means, from what I've been told, that his minimum sentence is now his maximum (life in prison). #trialtweets #TeresaSievers #NBC2CourtCoverage #JimmyRodgersontrial
