Their job is to uphold the constitutional rights that the government has to PROVE, beyond a reasonable doubt, that their client is guilty. He's only doing his job. If you were accused of a crime, innocent or guilty, this is the type of guy you want. He will do his best to make the state produce good, true evidence to convict you if you are in fact guilty, as this man is and was found guilty. This is just a good attorney. It's not up to him to prove his client guilty. That's up to the state. He's making the state do their job. If you didn't have good defense lawyers, people would be arrested and tried and found guilty of crimes they didn't commit far too easily. People like this defense lawyer makes the justice system better, and as I said, he was found guilty. People like this make the prosecutors have to work HARDER to prove they are correct in accusing someone. If you were arrested for a crime you didn't commit, or did, wouldn't you want the evidence to be at least good and true that is presented against you? That's what he's forcing the government (DA) to do.

The most puzzling part of the defense closing is that Curtis Wright "told you" but "he's a liar" and then goes on to quote Wright over and over and over again, as if it is "fact". He wants jury to believe part of what Wright testified to but to assume other parts were lies. I'm not sure, as a juror, I'd view that as helpful to his client. Yes, Curtis Wright is a felon, a terrible man. Jimmy Rodgers had many opportunities to remove himself from the situation. He could have taken a cab from the beach to a bus station, or better yet, to the POLICE station and say....Hey, this guy, who I thought just wanted my help driving, (he's got problems with falling asleep while driving) to FL for a family matter. I didn't find out what was really going on until I got here. He would have to gather up all of the stuff he took with him to FL, dispose of it, and beg the police for help. He could have prevented the murder, gone home, told his girlfriend (Taylor)...this guy Curtis Wright is crazy, and gone to work the next day. End of story. But, we all know he didn't do the right thing. He just didn't.

I'd say he's guilty. His girlfriend lying because of money from the police doesn't make any sense. How would she know where to find that coverall and the phone after all and why did he destroy that. However, the attorney made a good point in saying why should someone come there without a plan and beat her to death like a crazy person who never even knew her, while the guy that basically looks like her husband is going "hey ok ok, that's enough"... and it's also a pretty crazy story that he picked up that hammer just on a whim, yet Rogers had a hammer also and just happened to help beat her... so two guys that had no plan just happened to take a hammer at the same time to do this and they had those hammers from different places yet all wounds would be identified to come from the same hammer... that didn't sit right with me. I have little doubt that all three men were guilty... however I highly doubt it went down the way it was told. That indeed doesn't make any sense. There's too many holes in that story.

By most of the time actually defending innocent people. Also they have a duty to do their very best to defend their clients based on what their client tells them. They don't do that because they want to but because they HAVE to. If they get caught not acting in their client's best interest that's bye bye job. Everybody has the right to a defence and someone has to do that job. And lawers don't simply defend only people that are guilty. nobody is guilty until proven so and until then they have to work on the assumption that their client is telling them the truth. If their client tells them he did it, they cannot try to prove him innocent, that's against the law and would mean bye bye job also. No lawyer is going to risk that for one client. But as long as the client maintains his innocense, they have to do their very best to work in their interest. And a lot of times the client actually IS innocent. Would you want your lawer to not make a good job just because everybody on the internet thinks you're guilty if you're ever in trouble? Defense lawyers defend way more innocent people than guilty ones. if the opposite was true they'd lose most of their cases and would no longer get hired. And not every case is a murder case. Don't judge these people so hard. They didn't commit any crime. In fact they'd commit a crime if they DIDN'T work this hard for their client. I'm sure these laweres helped a ton of innocent people to get justice by working just as hard for them.

Plenty of doubt whether Wright's story was true And I have no doubt the jury shared those doubts. However he didn't cause enough doubt in Rodgers being involved in SOME way. And as was pointed out, if he was involved in some way... that's enough for the conviction. Maybe not for the burglary, that needs proof he was in the house. But for the murder, that's enough. And I think the jumpsuit, phone and the testimony by his girlfriend were enough to convince the jury he was involved. I'm not buying Wright's story at all. Just like the lawyer said, that story doesn't make any sense. But whatever happened, Rodgers was involved.

I think the defense attorney did an excellent job forming that doubt and of keeping this guy from being executed; and, justice or not, that was her obligation under the constitution, to provide the best defense possible. By providing an excellent defense she also likely precluded 15 or 20 years of costly appeals, possible retrial, etc. I don’t know what else a defense attorney could have done in this case.

I don't believe him. I have no doubt Jimmy is guilty, but a kill for hire where no plan is made until the last second and then both men simultaneously, independent from eachother, decide to hit her like crazy with a hammer... I'm sorry I'm not buying that. They're both involved, so the conviction is valid, since they said, for him to be part of the murder and conspiracy, he doesn't have to be actively involved even, just be in-the-know. However, I do not believe for a second that it went down the way wright said. There's indeed way too many holes in that story. He's right when he says you don't start hitting someone with a hammer and then go "ok three times is enough". And someone who doesn't even know the victim doesn't go nuts on her out of the blue. Even if Jimmy is a complete psycho that always wanted to do something like this, the fact that Wright just happened to grab a hammer at the same time... that's just too big a coincidence for me. I think all the convictions were right. They are all guilty of murder by being involved in this somehow... but I don't buy that it went down like that.

Why does the defense keep making a big deal about no one being paid. The money was supposed to be coming later from Theresa's Life Insurance Policies. The Insurance company isn't going to pay out while the case is under investigation.

The defence was trying to suggest that Curtis Wright murdered this woman completely of his own volition and that there was no conspiracy or involvement with Mr Rodgers or with Mr Sievers. It worked...they managed to keep Mr Rodgers off death row by convincing the jury he was not involved in the planning.

JusticeAA: I’m not so sure. Under Florida law I believe he will get a “something to life” sentence and whatever that “something” is - 15, 25, even 30 years - he’ll be eligible for parole. Maybe even sooner. Keep in mind too that he’s only 30ish so might get out in his 50s or 60s. Depends now on jury recommendation and judges acceptance of it. We’ll find out his sentence today I believe, but we won’t know if he survives it until it’s over, lol. Personally, right or wrong, justice served or not, I believe he will one day be released.

JusticeAA: Yes, but the appeals are yet to come, and at the public’s expense, lol. I didn’t know about the PRR status until it was brought up at sentencing because, of course, it would not have been permissible at trial. So, with PRR status, the judge was obligated to hand out the maximum sentence but he did cover his ass, so to speak, by putting on the record that he would have given the max sentence anyway - obviously he expects appeals. The defense, as you probably noticed, did make an attempt at disputing the date of Mr Rodgers last prison release arguing that is was unclear whether it was within the statutory 3 yr limitation although in my opinion (and obviously the judge’s) the objection was weak, but hey, they tried. Anyway, as the great philosopher (lol) Yogi Berra once said “It ain’t over till it’s over.”

JusticeAA: Jimmy Rodgers was a lucky man. Ms Fitzgeorge did an amazing job in presenting this case - except, of course, for the day she appeared to be absolutely drunk, lol - especially considering she had pretty much nothing to work with. She put a very reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors that Curtis Wright was telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Let’s face it, Mr Wright had everything to lose, up to and including swinging from the old oak tree. Closing arguments were done well by her assistant council, again considering nothing to work with. The defense team did what they are obligated to do as public defenders under the constitution...they provided the best possible defense in an indefensible case. Mr Rodgers’s appeals will likely all fall flat as a result. Mr Sievers, on the other hand, has a no-brainer appeal for ineffective assistance of council even though he waived that right when he insisted on his doppelgänger as lead council. I believe a higher court will permit an appeal anyway, considering how completely useless his defense team was. It was, in my mind, embarrassing to watch.

JusticeAA: There’s also a third option...Mr Rodgers could still come out of jail in a wheel chair or on his death bed. Florida permits parole application for a person who is permanently and totally incapacitated, or whose death is imminent. This isn’t exactly a compassionate release, it’s simply because the prison system isn’t equipped to deal with it, or more likely has no reason or desire to.

Ikr? I think he's trying to say that Jimmy went down there with Curtis to do some work on Theresa's house. But when theresa came in Curtis started beating her in the head with the hammer and once he killed her he threatened Jimmy. So Jimmy was too scared to say anything. So basically Curtis was setting up jimmy for the murder. It's a ridiculous defense but I think it's all they had.

The Defense Attorney brings very plausible theories to this. There's a good chance that what he is saying is true. 1 hammer pointing to Wright. What the attorney couldnt say was why Wright did it. Teresa and Wright got into some disagreements. It was quite obvious there was a three way rekationship. Wright didn't like Teresa physically. He like his long time friend. And had a new wife.
