We do not have a full conspiracy as set forward in the indictment, Mummert said while arguing in favor of acquittal.

We couldn't hear this in the courtroom, but our crew just listened back to audio from about 20 minutes ago.

When Judge Bruce Kyle asked Sievers if he was going to testify, Sievers replied: "No, but I'd like to go home." @winknews

Maybe. Who is the bald older man sitting with his stepmom that looks just like him? Maybe an uncle then?

Hamid Hunter starting for the state. In total, the state requested 2.5 hours but there's is split however they choose to do so. "We've got a lot further to go," Hunter told jurors to start. #trialtweets #NBC2CourtCoverage #MarkSieversontrial #TeresaSievers

The evidence has shown Mark Sievers hired his best friend Curtis Wayne Wright Jr. to kill his wife Teresa Sievers, Hunter said.

  Hunter is talking about marriage. "That covenant, that agreement, that contract between two people also includes a clause not to kill your spouse and the evidence has shown Mr. Sievers has breached that contract," Hunter said.

  Hunter said we have not reached "the end of our journey," but we are at a crucial juncture in the trial. Hunter reminded the jurors they are to determine what, if anything, Mark Sievers is guilty of.

Hunter said he doesn't think jurors will hear much dispute that Teresa Sievers was murdered or that her murder was planned .

First objection by the defense 4 minutes in. #trialtweets #NBC2CourtCoverage #MarkSieversontrial #TeresaSievers

The question that you have to answer based on the evidence is whether or not Mark Sievers was a principal to the murder, Hunter tells the jurors.

That's the first question and the first count, he said.

To prove first-degree murder the state must prove 1. Teresa Sievers is dead 2. The death was caused by the criminal act of Mark Sievers 3. There was a premeditated killing of Teresa Sievers, Hunter tells the jury.

"Those ingredients have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt," Hunter said.

 

[Scalex]

To prove the crime of First degree premeditated murder, the state must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

Teresa Sievers is dead
It was a result of a criminal act Mark Sievers
Teresa death was premeditated
