Mummert is talking about how a prosecution witness came forward after she said a friend told her she was speaking with Teresa Sievers from beyond the grave.

This witness did not testify at all about marital strife or financial hardships between the Sievers, he said.

I do think that the finances should have been talked in depth as opposed to focusing on the life insurance. IRS debt, lien, business mortgage, lifestyle living beyond their means... There needed to be the background and lead-up into WHY he wanted her dead for the life insurance. If you're fat and happy and financially solvent already, you don't think about murder for life insurance.

There could have been more focus on WHY he wanted the life insurance money as opposed to what would happen to his lifestyle and social standing as a divorced spouse.

It's unfortunate that all the information has been available for years, but wasn't paid the attention and importance it has. It's a huge deal, in my opinion. Also, it needed to be said that MS had to have been planning this for weeks or months before he made the initial request to talk to CWW at his wedding.

So much important information and so many facts that could have been used to fill in the blanks.

Still ragging on the idea CWW didn't take a polygraph even though CWW answered his questions on the stand that he offered more than once IIRC to take one and would take one now. Mummert ignored that - it's on the video.

I'll shut up now. It's done, it's over, no use in me whining on. :/

Mummert is talking about how Wright initially told investigators he never left Missouri.

Mummert said the jurors have keep in mind the witness made a statement inconsistent with the testimony he made in court.

"I want to start talking about life insurance. Having a life insurance policy does not mean you are guilty of anything."

Sievers' attorney pointed out to the jury that Sievers also had a $2.5 million life insurance policy just like Dr. Sievers @winknews

I live here and this is a big deal. I can’t believe how he acts in court.

I don't like this defense attorney's style at all. It seems like Michael Mummert is spraying the courtroom with buck shot. JMO

ASA Hamid had a nice pace to his Closing. He allowed his puzzle pieces to settle there in their minds for the Jury to put together.

Mummert also points out Wright is bipolar with memory issues.

Wright originally said he was outside the home then changed his story and said he was in a different room when Teresa was killed, Mummert said.

Yes because he had drained the business and it was actually going under financially...another motive I believe

Defense arrived at the statements of Curtis Wright and his testimony on the stand. This is what they focused a lot of openings on. #trialtweets #NBC2CourtCoverage #MarkSieversontrial #TeresaSievers

Defense is getting to details about Teresa Sievers' murder. Reminding the jury of Curtis Wright's testimony that he hit Teresa three times with a hammer and Jimmy Rodgers was swinging the hammer "wildly". Teresa Sievers' sister at this point stood up and walked out of courtroom.

He was participating in Medicare fraud at the practice and it would have been shut down with Teresa losing her license as well...JMO

   Mummert is emphasizing that Wright said Jimmy Rodgers used the claw portion of the hammer when striking Teresa Sievers, which was inconsistent with the autopsy and testimony from the medical examiner.

Mummert asks why investigators never had Wright take the polygraph test.

 

[Oregonmama]

A few quick objections sent the attorneys to a sidebar after defense twice related to Thanksgiving dinner. I'm not sure where he was going with it, but start argued improper. #trialtweets #NBC2CourtCoverage #MarkSieversontrial #TeresaSievers

Defense: - Family friend Dr. Petrites testified it wasn't unusual for #MarkSievers to carry 2 phones.

- It was detectives who formulated themes for the crime as life insurance and marital turmoil.

- Curtis Wright adopted this motive into his narrative.

"Without Mr. Wright there is no case," Mummert said. "You each have to believe Mr. Wright's story about this conspiracy."

He is the only witness who gave any evidence of a conspiracy, Mummert said.

Wright did not really give concrete details about what was going on in the Sievers marriage, Mummert said.

There was no evidence to support the Sievers were on the cusp of bankruptcy, Mummert said.

Thanksgiving comparison was for polygraph, after eating everything no one jumps on a scale because you know what the reality is, in case you were wondering. #trialtweets #NBC2CourtCoverage #MarkSieversontrial #TeresaSievers

"Curtis committed a murder with a hammer in a house that full of knives and guns," Mummert said.
