"WHY?"

Reminding the jury over & over & over again of Teresa's last word.

Great strategy. Massive impact.

State is walking jurors through already presented evidence. After carefully putting on gloves, attorney pulled out the coveralls found on the side of the road. Coveralls they argue Jimmy Rodgers was wearing at the time of the murder. #Sievers #RodgersTrial

I think she is knocking it out of the park with this closing. Kind of a different style than I've seen and I think it is very effective.

 

[Curious Me]

Every time she calls him Mr. Rodgers, I think of the real, the gentle, sweater- wearing Mr. Rodgers.

"What was this conspiracy? To kill Teresa Sievers." The state projects a picture of the Bonita Springs mother for the jury, we hear a deep exhale from one of her family members. #RodgersTrial

State now has photos (pulled from wedding of Wright) with arrows explaining the conspiracy. All arrows point to photo of Teresa Sievers. Family all took a deep breath as the photo of her appeared. #trialtweets #JimmyRodgersontrial #TeresaSievers #NBC2courtcoverage

(From my court coverage experience) State usually starts with this type of closing, detailing evidence and charges to explain what's on the table. Then they usually use their second section to refute defense. #trialtweets #JimmyRodgersontrial #TeresaSievers #NBC2courtcoverage

On to Wright, ASA Ross said he admitted to not being very good at this. They say he benefits however his help led to two other men being caught. #trialtweets #JimmyRodgersontrial #TeresaSievers #NBC2courtcoverage

"Why was he willing to kill Teresa Sievers? There were 10,000 reasons..." The state referring to the $10,000 pay out Rodgers' ex-girlfriend testified he was supposed to get after the murder. #RodgersTrial
