Wright says there was a discrepancy with the times, so they had the wrong time that Teresa would be arriving.

Wright says at that point he told Mark "he would see what he could do."

Wright says he did ask how much money Mark was willing to pay to have Teresa killed and Mark responded "at least $100,000."
Wright says Mark told him they had a lot of life insurance money.
Wright says Mark told him the same thing again, "he told me that she was leaving him and taking the kids, and he couldn't let her do that."

Wright says Mark asked him to help him.
Wright says their conversation got interrupted again.

He says they had another chance to talk when they went together to pick up meat for the wedding.
Wright says the place they went to pick up the box of meat was 20 mins. away from the wedding location.
On the morning of the wedding, Wright says Mark Sievers wanted to talk to him again about his marriage with Teresa Sievers.

Wright says Mark Sievers told him that morning that Teresa was leaving him and taking their two daughters out of state.
Wright says the night before the wedding he and Mark Sievers went into his bedroom, closed the door, and Mark told him that he and Teresa were having marital problems and she was having an affair.

Wright says Mark Sievers had sent him a text prior to his wedding saying that he wanted to talk to him about something.
Wright says he actually met Teresa Sievers when she married Mark.

Wright says he did spend time with Mark Sievers and the two Sievers daughters, not so much with Teresa.
Curtis Wayne Wright is now on the stand.

"Mr. Wright who killed Teresa Sievers?" asked the state.
"Jimmy Rodgers and I physically did it," says Wright.
"Mark Sievers was also involved in the killing," he added.
UPDATE (1:30 PM) -- Proceedings have resumed in the Mark Sievers trial, and his childhood friend and accused accomplice Curtis Wright has taken the stand.
Last month, Wright also took the stand in the trial against Jimmy Rodgers that ended in a murder conviction for Rodgers.
Wright accepted a plea deal for 25 years in prison in exchange for his testimony against Rodgers and Sievers.
