FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Questioning of Curtis Wright continued Friday in day 13 of the Jimmy Rodgers murder trial.
Thursday, prosecutors questioned him for three hours. Friday the defense is cross-examining him.
When asked what he told Sievers when he initially told him he wanted Teresa to be murdered, Wright responded, "I offered other suggestions. He said the only option was for her to die."

Wright says although Mark Sievers wanted it to look like a "burglary gone wrong" they didn't take any valuables with them.
