***Jury Recommends DEATH for Mark Sievers*** Penalty/Sentencing Phase

[Kensie]

Mark is still kind!!!! He was just convicted of first degree murder. Not my idea of being kind.
Poor mother, this has got to be so hard for her. She is not responsible for Mark's actions.

 

[Curious Me]

Mark was always a protector wanting to take care of the underdog.

Mark when he walks has a bounce in his step...he should be allowed to live due to this?

He was a caretaker for Bonnie's father who lived to 102. Mark took him on a cruise when PawPaw was 92. Great caretaker and mediator in the family. That sounds kind, I must admit.

My only critique is I wish they had shown videos and/or photos of Teresa’s childhood growing up and later as a mother to Josie & Carmie. She was more than a doctor, kwim?

I'm considering that the family wants to protect those girls at all cost.

They don't want any decisions associated with the children, so that the children can see such now and search upon for the rest of their lives. They have enough to deal with.

They don't want any statements or photographs of them to be forever associated with this trial. I respect that hugely.

MOO the jurors know about the children. They don't have to be told again it is obvious.

B. Sievers described her oldest son as having a happy soul, said he has a bounce in his step and a smile on his face. #TrialTweets #MarkSieversPenaltyPhase #NBC2CourtCoverage #TeresaSievers

  Unlike the state's witnesses, this is more of a question and answer process for B. Sievers, not a prepared statement. #TrialTweets #MarkSieversPenaltyPhase #NBC2CourtCoverage #TeresaSievers

  B. Sievers was prevented from being at most of the last two trials because she was on the witness list. She didn't come to closings for either, so this is her first time in the courtroom during the trial. #TrialTweets #MarkSieversPenaltyPhase #NBC2CourtCoverage #TeresaSievers

   Bonnie Sievers described Mark as a “protector” who “always wanted to take care of the underdog”. Said former co-workers used to call him “smiley”. #SieversTrial @winknews

   Back from a break. Defense will call Mark Sievers’ family as they argue he should get life. First up, Mark’s mom, Bonnie. We didn’t see her during trial but jurors heard her name. She left the alarm to the Sievers home off at the request of her son. #SieversTrial

MOO

And marks side is going to talk nonstop about the girls.

 

[Spartygirl]

Aww-- Look at MS, Nodding and looking so PROUD as he listens to Momma on the stand.
What a SOB

 

[MsJosie]

Gee, his co workers called Smiley.....where are those co workers now?

 

[FelicityLemon]

Really. They're allowed to show the jury pictures of the murderer holding his babies. Bad move. It just reminds people (the jury) that he murdered their mother.

Defense thinks that showing pictures of motherless children helps him?

 

[Scalex]

So photos of the kids were admitted

 

[Kakidoll]

Was just going to say... This will backfire on them. I wonder who will try to slip in that he could never have done this.

 

[Curious Me]

Bonnie's laughing as she is presented with pics of Mark with the girls. A stork someone sent them. Now she's looking at more family photos with fondness. The girls on their bicycles. I don't see how this helps. He destroyed their lives as they knew it.

 

[TTF14]

Mark taught the girls virtue - right and wrong. Uh huh.

Defense is reminding jury Mark Sievers is a dad. Just showed them pictures of him with his two girls. They have been largely kept out of the spotlight since Teresa Sievers' murder. We have not seen them in the courtroom. #SieversTrial @winknews

 

[TTF14]

"Chicken man" certainly suits Mark. He's a coward. A big chicken.

 

[Curious Me]

Stay at home Dad. Involved in all their activities. He taught them how to swim. He taught them, so did Teresa, about virtues. He helped in Our Mother's Home too. Mark would get the fried chicken not sold in store and bring it to them. Consequently, he was called "the chicken man". Sold bracelets with the girls and gave the money to the Home.

 

[Curious Me]

Yeah, I like that name for him... the Chicken Man.

 

[MsJosie]

When were the girls home schooled? Never mentioned.

That my my thought, too! All I saw was a photo of 2 young girls who are now motherless due to the actions of the defendant. Seems like that could backfire on the defense in a big way.

 

[Spartygirl]

Maybe it's just me, but if I was on the Jury, she does absolutely nothing to steer me towards any sympathy for MS--
NONE whatsoever.
If she says how loving he is/was and laughs one more time, I will need to mute her. JMO
