Watch Live: Mark Sievers on Trial for Allegedly Orchestrating Murder of Wife Dr. Teresa Sievers

I'm wondering why the state didn't ask the office assistant if she had anymore communication with MS on the day of the murder? (she had asked that day if he wanted her to go to the house to check on her and he said "no"). Perhaps the state thinks that is irrelevant? I think it's very relevant and telling of MS's intentions that Dr. P finds her. All IMO.

Taylor must be coming up next, or very soon, because they are laying foundation for all the evidence gathered from their home.

The state is introducing a lot more evidence into the record this time around compared to the Rodgers trial unless I'm remembering incorrectly. A lot of this evidence seems to be more related to Jimmy Rodgers than Mark Sievers.
