The state now is clarifying information in re-cross. ASA Hunter asked if he threatened Mrs. Wright, Wright said no.

Hunter also asked if he said Mrs. Wright would be protected in his plea agreement, Wright said no.

The prosecution asked Wright what was said during one of their conversations regarding protecting Angela Wright.

"You said that there was nothing in our agreement to protect her," said Wright, adding that the prosecutors never threatened him or his wife, Angela Wright.

@winknews After about 2 hours, the defense finished their cross of Curtis Wayne Wright with a question about whether Wright told Mark Sievers about the murder. "I tried to talk to him once while I was down for the funeral but no... he didn't want to talk about it". #SieversTrial @winknews

I think the defense gained zero points this morning so far.

HYPOTHETICALS, really??? "So Mr. Wright, you have never landed a shuttle on the surface of the moon, correct sir??"

That is a cheap and amateurish question by MM. He better get smarter if he wants to do a good job against CWW!!
My point is,it doesn't make any difference, CWW does not have control of whether or not the prosecution demanded one....AND THE RESULTS AREN'T ADMISSIBLE ANYWAY!!!!!
(That is amateur mistake #2 by MM. In my opinion. This is not a bush league DUI case. This is a high profile murder case. Step up your game.)

I agree it’s a silly question, but it is relevant. It’s part of his plea deal that he would lose if he failed a polygraph. Which says to me that State attorneys don’t think he’s telling the whole truth, they don’t want him to take a polygraph. They need him to look credible.[/QUOTE]
SCALEX....thank you for "shoving me in the right direction." Am I confused, or incredibly naive?? How can anyone make a deal that includes a polygraph that is not admissible anyway? Shouldn't MM have taken up that issue with the prosecution? And even if CWW had taken one, then MM would have said, "Polygraphs are not an accurate science, blah, blah, blah." It just seems like a rabbit hole question that will NEVER go anywhere. (back to the live feed.)

Completely agree with your assessment.

Why am I so confused? Law & Crime are still showing cross but I see tweets saying they are done.

Hunter is clarifying that Wright acknowledged that he lied when he first spoke with law enforcement.

#SieversTrial - Cross-examination done. Now on redirect by prosecutor: Do you know if the medical practice was bankrupt?
Wright says he doesn't know that only that the information came from Mark.

Wright says the second statement he made to detectives was a mix of lies and truths, at this point he still denied being involved in the murder.

Wright says he then stepped out to talk to his attorneys who told him that he "had nothing to lose about being completely honest.”

Wright said he sent that text to Mark Sievers about being sorry for what happened to Teresa Sievers as part of a way to cover up what he did and make it look like he just found out.

Prosecution is now questioning Wright on the text messages between him and Mark Sievers.

Wright says they are the messages sent from their personal phones and burner phones.

Kaitlin Greenockle (@kaitlinroseg) Tweeted:
Mark Sievers texted Wright about destroying an outdated computer. Wright said this was referring to destroying his "other" phone.

@winknews The state in their redirect asked Wright to read a loud a text message sent from Mark Sievers just days before the murder. The text talked about getting rid of an old computer and hard drive. Wright testified this was really talking about their "other" phones. #SieversTrial

Wright says a coded text message that Mark Sievers sent him talking about the disposal of a laptop really meant that Sievers had disposed of the burner phone.

Wright says he replied, "good plan."

Defense redirecting now.

"What is it about your involvement that makes you the middle man?" asked defense.

Wright responded that Mark didn't know about Rodgers until towards the end.

Wright 's questing is finished, but was told he might have to return for when the defense presents their case.
