Prosecutor accuses Susan Wright of faking tears for jury
I haven't cried on cue once. I don't see how someone could not cry during this.
- Susan Wright
You've just stabbed your husband 193 times and buried him in the back yard? What are you going to do next? Well, I can tell you one thing that you WON'T be doing anytime soon: getting out of jail, particularly when your acting skills have come into question.
Prosecutors accused murder defendant Susan Wright today of crying on cue throughout her trial for stabbing her husband 193 times.
During cross-examination of the former stripper and mother of two, Assistant District Attorney Kelly Siegler asked Wright how she could think no one would notice when she turned off the tears as soon as the jury left the room so she could "chit-chat" with her lawyers and sister.
Wright said she covered her face and tried to compose herself because the judge ordered her to.
Well, let's break this down scientifically, shall we? Wright stabbed her husband 193 times. If you're not sure whether or not if that is even possible, try this simple test at home: straddle a couple of pillows on your bed. Then bring your arm up and down in a stabbing motion 193 times and strike another pillow. I submit that your arm will feel like Randy Johnson after he's gone nine full innings. Repeating a stabbing motion 193 times is a LOT of repetitive and tiring motion, y'all.
It gets better, though. After having come to her senses and discovering that she has turn her husband into steak tartare, she somehow summons the wherewithal to bury him in the backyard. Of course, anyone who has ever tried to dig a hole in south Texas clay knows that it is not something a 98-pound weaking can easily do. Digging in this soil is HARD to do, and it is not a task that one undertakes lightly.
Something here just doesn't add up.
....Wright testified that for days following Jeffrey Wright's death, she feared he'd return, even though she'd buried him in their back yard.
Wright denied she was trying to cover up what she'd done by scouring the crime scene and repainting their bedroom.
"It was cleaning," said Wright. "I thought it was dirt and I had to make the house clean because Jeff was going to be mad."
Hmm...you stabbed your husband 193 times, you buried the body in the back yard, you scoured the crime scene, and then you repainted the crime scene. OK, I may not be a defense attorney, but whoever is defending Mrs. Wright has one hell of an uphill battle on their hands.
Hey, if you can cut up a body, dump it into Galveston Bay, and then convince a jury that it was self-defense, ANYTHING is possible....
UPDATE: She's been found Guilty!! Guilty!! Guilty!!
