Murder With My Husband · 257. The Blue Eyed Butcher - The Murder of Jeff Wright · 24 Feb 2025 podcast

They said it had nothing to do with protecting her children. They actually said, and they brought her past of dancing into the trial, like trying to smear her reputation, you know, make the jury think different of her. They said, also Jeff had a $200,000 life insurance policy. And what was she going to do? How was she going to provide for her kids?

Which the prosecution even called a witness to support. Kevin Conboy was a co-worker of Jeff's and he recounted a time just a week or so before Jeff's death, where Susan called the office. He said he could hear Susan screaming over the phone at Jeff, asking him whether or not he completed the insurance policy paperwork. So a week before she murders him, a co-worker...

is coming forward saying she called him at work complaining about the insurance policy that's a $200,000 payout. I don't know.

So Kevin says Jeff even ended the call saying, if I die, like as a joke saying, if I die, you'll be a very rich woman. So Jeff's brother-in-law... But very rich.

Yes, but I mean, how many times do you joke about insurance?

So Jeff's brother-in-law, Brian Roberts, also testified against Susan. He said there was one occasion where he was at their house for dinner and Susan and Jeff got into an argument. He then said Susan, who was using a knife, turned and pointed it at Jeff in a threatening manner.

Which doesn't really mean Susan's lying, but also Brian claimed he never once saw or heard any abuse from Jeff towards his wife or kids.

And the prosecution sort of takes that and runs with it. They say, this relationship could have been toxic, okay, but is this domestic abuse... Or murder. Is this domestic abuse defense exaggerated? Was this something that was conjured up after the murder that was made to be even worse? She created this huge lie about the history of their relationship.

And because Susan didn't file a police report until after Jeff was dead, there's really no evidence of her... going to the police and filing domestic violence report or cops coming, you know how sometimes you have that evidence, doesn't mean it's not happening.

People come to Susan's defense. A neighbor testifies and says, no, I saw Jeff angrily physically grab Susan a few times. A few friends testified that she had shown up with black eyes. zu Plätzen, die behaupten, es sei nur ein Fall oder ein Kind hat mich verletzt. Andere sagten, sie war völlig verärgert von Jeff. Sie sagten, nein, Susan war verärgert.

Doch ihr bester Freund behauptete, es gab einen Fall, in dem sie verurteilt hat, dass Jeff sie verletzt hat, nach einem Argument an seinem Geburtstag. Es gibt also Zeiten, bevor dieser Mord geschah, in denen sie Menschen erzählte. Okay. Okay. Susan said there's not a simple explanation for it.

She says the wax from the candle came from when she pulled Jeff off the bed that night after killing him, that his shoulder had hit the nightstand and the candle fell over and poured wax on him. She also said the neckties and bathrobes, she never used them to secure Jeff to the bedpost or tie him up. She said those are what I was using to secure his body to the dolly while moving him.

Still, the prosecution had one more trick up their sleeve at trial. One more attempt at proving Susan wasn't telling the truth about what went down that night. And to pull it off, it required them to bring the rights actual bed to the courtroom. And this is where I was saying theatrics and theater. We see this with the O.J. Simpson trial. It's big, okay?

So on the most shocking day of the trial, Prosecutor Kelly Siegler had the Wrights bloodstained mattress and bed set rolled into the courtroom. Then she asked another young male prosecutor from her team to step up and lie down on the mattress. And then she climbed on top of him to show a reenactment.

Okay. Sie sagte später, dass der Grund, warum sie das gemacht hat, war, dass man es lebendig machen muss. Das ist ein Quote. Du kannst nicht nur in deiner Schuhe sitzen und mit dem Beobachter im Stand reden und es theoretisch diskutieren. Sie sagte, ich habe mich entschieden, es auf den nächsten Niveau zu nehmen, mit einer Oscar-wertigen Präsentation.

Eine, die für den Jurist genug überzeugend sah.

Some people call it genius, some people call it completely inappropriate, but the jurors called it the truth. After five hours of deliberation, they came back with a verdict. They found Susan Wright guilty of murder in the first degree. She was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Susan has since said that her defense kind of failed her at trial. They had a lot of regrets about how it was handled.

For example, they failed to call to the stand the psychologist who treated Susan after her arrest. Ja. Ja. Sie hat sogar einen Polizeireport eingeführt. Also gab es Beweise, um es zu beurteilen. Jeff wurde tatsächlich verhaftet und hat die Nacht im Gefängnis verbracht, weil er seine Freundin zerstört hat. Sie sagte, er war kontrollierend.

Sie hat sie im Grunde genommen, ihre Geschichte kontrolliert. Er hat meine jeden Bewegung beobachtet. Der Jurist hat nie das Wort davon hören können. Sie haben nicht von Domestic Abuse Experten gehört. Also ist es so, als hätte sie eine bessere Verteidigung. So in November of 2004, Susan and her new lawyer, Brian, began filing appeals stating that her lawyers were inexperienced and ineffective.

There was evidence that should have been given at trial. He also argued that Kelly Siegler's courtroom reenactment should not have been allowed, that that is made for TV nonsense and the whole thing was just confusing and how can you... separate acting and dramatizations from what actually happened.
