Mark Sievers Livestream Trial Thread -Days 5-8

[lisette]

CWW testified early on, like the second or third day of the trial.

Oh...NVM... lol. Don't know how I missed that! I will definitely have to go back and look at that.

Defense arguing that this is circumstantial case with only Wright's word to prove this state. He said if anything the evidence shown has been inconsistent. #trialtweets #MarkSieversontrial #NBC2CourtCoverage #TeresaSievers

Does everybody think they've connected MS to the two killers sufficiently...If you were on the jury, would you think so?

Only if you believe CWW. I do believe him.

"When we talk about competent testimony or competent evidence, your honor, we are at a loss in this case," Mummert said.

There is no competent evidence in this case and the only evidence of conspiracy came from Curtis Wayne Wright Jr.

   Mummert says the only evidence of conspiracy came from "the lips of Curtis Wright."

   Mummert says a judgment for acquittal should be granted for this reason. Adding, that the only evidence presented is circumstantial evidence.
   
   Mummert says there is insufficient substantial evidence.

Yes, with CWW's testimony, the lifelong connection between CWW and MS, along with the burner phones. But it's a close thing. I'm worried about what the defense will present.

   It was well established Mark Sievers was in New York and Connecticut when Teresa Sievers was killed, Mummert said.

Defense said reason to believe "this is something Wright took upon himself, and possibly his wife". Angela Wright is also accused of having and using a burner phone, defense said. #trialtweets #MarkSieversontrial #NBC2CourtCoverage #TeresaSievers

There is direct evidence in this case and it is not circumstantial, ASA Cynthia Ross said in response to Mummert's request for judgement of acquittal.

I wouldn’t think so, no.

 

[TrueCrimeAddict55]

OK well at least now we are getting a glimpse into how crappy MM is going to do in the closing argument lol.

I'm not a lawyer, UM, but I, um, could probably say that, um (note shuffle) better then, um, MM.

All, um, IMO

 

[Bobbywoo]

I wouldn’t think so, no.

Nor I. Especially when it comes to life in prison or the death penalty.

"There is substantial evidence," Ross said. "It is direct evidence."

It is sufficient in this case to establish there was an agreement for the conspiracy charge, Ross said.

State says the conspiracy was proven because it doesn't have to be expressed in any specific way. They also say Sievers not speaking to Rodgers is not necessary. #trialtweets #MarkSieversontrial #NBC2CourtCoverage #TeresaSievers

"The state has met its burden for the motion for judgement of acquittal," Ross said.

Exactly. The Prosecutor is showing just how much smarter (and experienced) she is than him. For some reason when I look at this guy, all I can picture is him sitting around his house in sweatpants playing the PS4.

 

[Curious Me]

Tell 'em, ASA Cynthia Ross. She's fighting for no acquittal. Saying it is not all circumstantial and that there's direct evidence. JRR is part of it, regardless if he and MS had conversations to make them co-conspirators. She says this meets the definition of conspiracy.

In my own words and my own understanding.

 

[Wyle_E_Coyote]

Yes, with CWW's testimony, the lifelong connection between CWW and MS, along with the burner phones. But it's a close thing. I'm worried about what the defense will present.

I want to add... After the murder, many of us were immediately suspicious of MS, but when CWW was arrested and we learned he was a close friend of MS and drove from MO, that was absolutely convincing to me and a lot of others here that MS had hired CWW. Hopefully the jury also sees how obvious just that is.

 

[chasing.halos]

Watching along with you all... I’m very worried... the state has not presented a solid case in my opinion.

 

[Curious Me]

Yeah, the Judge denied an acquittal. Relieved for now.
Defense has five witnesses, but none are there today.

 

[Kakidoll]

So, where do we think Mark stands now on taking the stand? I think his lawyer thinks (as some of us here do) that its a much weaker case than we thought they would put on, and he'll get off. He will recommend Mark NOT get on the stand. Will he still do it cuz he's 'Mark'???
