A monumental day in the trial against Mark Sievers. Over the next couple of days, the jury will hear arguments before deciding his fate. Life in prison or the death penalty? The jury found him guilty of planning his wife, Teresa’s, 2015 murder. #SieversTrial

We're back in court this morning for Mark Sievers penalty phase. He faces life in prison or the death penalty for planning the murder of #TeresaSievers. We're expecting two days here.

The state will address aggravators, defined by statute, that make this crime more horrific, in an effort to send Mark Sievers to death row.

The defense handles mitigators, anything they believe supports the jury determining he deserves less than the death penalty. Both sides expect to have four witnesses.
