I’ve watched so much of these related trials. My favourite parts are listening to this prosecutor. He has such a good demeanour. He knows how to modulate his voice very effectively. What a great job he and his co-counsel did!
Me too! I scroll straight to his presentation. He’s brilliant,simple and just fluid with his delivery. I notice that the defense attorneys were mesmerized by him especially in the Severs closing. Bravo Mr. Hunter 👏👏👏👏
Lawyer is a great storyteller/teacher. Tell them what you are about to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you just told them. The same method used by great teachers in school. So the jury hears the same story three times, and the story is now crystal clear. There is no confusion, so it makes the jury's job easier. What a great lawyer.
Everything you said, Mr. Peck, is true, and I would further add that Mr. Hunter isn’t consulting any notes as he stacks up detail after detail after detail, except perhaps an outline to keep him on track. His grasp of all the details of this case is nothing short of remarkable!
@Law and Crime Network there is a case coming up and in Greensboro North Carolina. Greensboro NC versus Shawn Gibson he's charged with murdering his girlfriend in front of their two little girls he's out on bail there is not too much being said. But I think this will be a wonderful case for your UA-cam channel. Thanks!
I hope she gets justice I remember when Nancy grace covered the first week of this case and it was a mystery at the time. Now we know what happened. I want all three behind bars.
Funny thing about Missouri. If you live in KC, people tend to pronounce it with "ee" at the end. My relatives from southern Missouri pronounce it with an "uh" at the end. People who don't like living there pronounce it as "Misery".
David Weise - hey! No, not at all. In the middle of his opening he mentioned Rogers said: “ oh, in Missouri, 2nd degree murder is what, 15-20 years? I’m fine with that.” Like it was nothing. Like it was under his control and what he would expect. But he’s being prosecuted in Florida and for 1st degree murder. That’s the reason I quoted the prosecutor. I thought it was great he reminded Rogers that sometimes what we plan, changes.... drastically in his case.
Is it me or in Marks trial his attorney kept bringing up the $50,000 (which was actually $40,000) and the weapons non stop? He TRIED to cast doubt on Curtis’ story b/c he didn’t use any of the guns to kill her in the house AND why didn’t mark give them the $50,000 cash in the house instead of waiting by on insurance….he clearly doesn’t think like a defense attorney and would be a dumber criminal than the 3 stoogies in this case! No robber doesn’t bring their own weapon and hopes the family has one so it would had been an IMMEDIATE sign it was a set up by the husband AND Mark killed for $$! Mark couldn’t afford to let that $50,000 cash go! It had to last until he life insurance came in seeing as they weren’t in great financial position! It’s not rocket science unless you are a divorce attorney like his DP trial lawyer!
People should have the courtesy to turn off their electronic devices in the courtroom. My brother-in-law is a minister and every service he reminds people to silence their electronic devices
@JusticeAA Wtf does he or anybody else for that matter need four defense attys? Jesus i have been in trouble before and i only had one! I never killed anybody tho so that may be why
@@susanluvsrobbyfoxa DP defendant gets double the normal amount of attorneys usually assigned! Most get 2 and they are allowed 4 depending on how much help the lead defense attorney needs BUT this chick being the lead defense attorney needs all of Yale law school alumni’s to have a chance to win a case!
52:00 I think prosecutor meant to say Curtis Wright fell in behind her, not Rodgers at that point. Rodgers then came out of nowhere and began hitting her with the hammer. Whatever, this is very interesting because I've followed this case from the beginning and is the first I've heard how they went about surprising her. This is just horrific and it is so sad to see her mother there crying on the bench. And look at Rodgers' face as prosecutor describes how he "went crazy" with the hammer. Rodgers is clearly reliving the moment. His eyes seem to light up and you see a slight smile.
I hate it when they side bar like that, because I wanted to hear what grounds the defense lawyer based her objection on. It's unusual to hear that during either opening statement. It's usually the other way around, with the defense lawyer objecting.
Perfect prosecutor for this case he done the seivers trial too and got a death conviction but somehow the jury dropped Jimmy's to 2nd degree murder so that meant the death penalty was off the table. Jimmy got life without parole. Curtis got 25 years in prison which at his age he might never get out, and he would have had to go through trial too if he didn't co-operate with law enforcement and the state gave him a deal for leniency giving that he testified against his co-defendants Curtis Wayne Right and jimmy rae rogers. Which he did and the state got they're conviction so Wayne right has done nearly 8 yrs of his 25 yrs so he will be out in another 17 yrs if he's still alive . 17 yrs is a longgggggggggggggggg time away . Thank God I'm not that kinda person and will never be in jail . I appreciate my freedom.
@@susanluvsrobbyfox first time I saw it was OJ, it rarely happens usually they read transcript on lap top or listen with head phones....the defense is really making him blend in with defense...it's strategy for sure
@@Kat-nd1ln Why do you think they are doing that? I just started watching trials so im not real familiar with how it all works just yet , ive always been into true crime and watching the trials for the stories that ive seen is pretty cool well when justice is served!!
Susan Strait many times it’s a claim for ineffective assistance of counsel. Defendant can argue counsel didn’t associate/provide them with all the information. It’s easiest to allow the defendant to just come up there to allow a proper record and avoid appeals later. It’s not a winnable claim often times but....better safe
I’m only 20 minutes into this case and already I’m screaming “what the Sam hell is wrong with people?!?!!!!!!” Do you know nothing about technology? Ever heard of surveillance cameras? GPS? Do you not watch TV? Stupid, stupid criminals. Ugh 🙄
Do I hear a “whatever” around 5:35 - 5:37??? The state attorney is talking about the moment Dr. Seaver was found dead, with a lot of blood around her. And just after that, he looks at the judge, as if expecting him to say something about it. And again, around 5:55 - 5:56, somebody is commenting while the state attorney is talking (maybe the comment is “and all we do”?). The judge never reacts. So strange.
I heard this too. The defense, defendant and the prosecutor look up and the prosecutor even turns around. The cell phone is so irritating. I hope the judge talks to the offender of this totally disrespectful problem. Despite being a total loser and murder, he does deserve a fair tire afforded to him under our constitution. This can be contempt of court and bared from the courtroom.
He got Missouri right almost every time as if he was from the Show-Me State, cept about twice when he forgot and pronounced it like anyone who isn't from there. I guess he eventually figured that perhaps only the defendant and his accomplice and co-conspirators would notice.
Dhyann Forester I was just going post and ask if he was pronouncing it right because the way he says it was bugging the hell out me. I’m from Jersey and now reside in Florida, never been to Missouri before so I didn’t know it was pronounced that way there lol
Why anyone would care how he says the name of the damned state is beyond me. This prosecutor is rambling off fact after fact after fact, in perfect sequence, with no notes, an amazing feat when considering the complexity of details he has to remember. He’s brilliant! And all you sods can hear, or apparently understand, is the way he says the name of a state! Well, I guess small minds get stuck on small-insignificant-details.
if you ever want something explained succinctly and clearly, don't ask this guy. he evidently fancies himself as Raymond Chandler, dragging out the mystery story fingernail by fingernail, but without Chandler's turn of phrase.
I can't stomach wayne wright...how he minimizes his part in the killing....such bs...poor mr wright...jimmy went crazy on her not him..what a fkng lier...evil
The girlfriend of this guy on trial ratted on him. She somehow called the sheriff department in Florida I do believe and told them Rogers had her help him dispose of evidence. It’s not very clear until you watch Marc Sievers trial then it all fits together.
conquerer it’s not very clear in either trial but I watched a 48 hour special on this case too and it made more sense. This was a serious twisted case and turn of event. Poor poor Dr. Sievers. I did not hear about this case and I randomly found it on this channel. I cannot believe this whole thing was planned out by her husband who was living the good life.
@@leza6288 oh ok, yeah I can't believe these idiots actually think they'll get away with it. I can't image someone hitting a person with a hammer. They'll have nightmares until they die
@@susanluvsrobbyfox Ya I just watched the movie again and I could have sworn that he wore a haz mat suit for each murder in my first viewing -- I could actually be convinced that they changed the move -- but that would be rather insane. :D
It is so hard for me to look at this man and think how much he loved killing this woman with a hammer and went back again before he left and hit her again hit her and hit her and hit her and then laughed about it, and they called himselfthe hammer
ONE hammer But the prosecution still argues that she was hammered to death by TWO hammers. This trial causes mr Wright, with a byname “the hammer”, to only go to prison for 25 yrs instead of life. And possibly a not guilty man, mr Rodgers, to go to prison.
I thought it was "Jimmy the Hammer" ie: Jimmy Rodgers.Wright testified that both he and Jimmy hit Dr. Sievers with hammers. He dropped his (at the scene) and does not know what Jimmy did with his hammer. Wright agreed to testify against his co-defendants and the State agreed to recommend 25 years for his truthful testimony.
The prosecutor is a good speaker.... his pace is just right...
