MURDERESS

2003 - January 13 - Wright, aged 27, lured her husband Jeff Wright

to a romantic evening in their bedroom. She tied him to the bedpost,

stabbed him in the eyeball, in the mouth. in the ear, and knicked his

penis. The Medical Examiner later testified that he had been cut from

head to toe in a total of over 200 times, 46 of which were in his chest,

and the tip of a knife was found buried in his skull.

During the stabbing frenzy, their young son came to the

bedroom door because of the commotion. Susan Wright

returned the child to his room, reassuring him that

everything was fine. After the brief respite, she returned

to the bedroom and began again stabbing Jeff Wright

over and over again.

The ME testified that each of the injuries inflicted would not have by

themselves caused death instantly. Nor was there indication that Jeff

had lost consciousness during the ordeal, thus he would have suffered

a slow, lingering death.

Wright attempted to cover up her bloody deed.

Wright dragged and buried Jeff Wright's body in the backyard in a

hole prepared for a garden fountain. She drove to the store,

purchased bleach and paint, and returned to clean up the room and

paint the walls. Yet there was blood seen by LE through out the

house.

Wright removed a part of the carpeting, the bed frame, and the

mattress and placed them into the back yard. Later she obtained

more potting soil and placed it over the body.

Wright removed the outgoing message with his voice from the

answering machine and proceeded to clean out their joint bank

account.

2003 - January 15 - TWO DAYS AFTER THE MURDER

Wright lied to police. She filed and pressed charges against Jeff

Wright for abuse against herself and their two children. Law

Enforcement at that time had no reason to doubt her claims.

A warrant for arrest was issued however, LE was unable to

ascertain from Wright where Jeff Wright was located or had

gone, where he worked or any other contact information.

She told her family that Jeff had been angry after

he'd beaten her and had taken off and left.

Wright's family found out about their son and brother's

death via news on the internet.

When it was apparent that things weren't going to go quite her way,

Wright confessed to her mother. "It happened in the bedroom

and the kids were in bed." "Mama, it wasn't me. I snapped.

I was up there and I saw somebody do it, but it wasn't me."

Court Videos

2004 - March 4 - Jurors convict Susan Wright of murder. They

"sudden passion."

2004 - March - Wright receives a court appointed attorney.

2004 - September - New attorney's file brief to take over Wright's

appeals.

2005 - October 7 - 14th Court of Appeals allows new attorneys

to take over Susan Wright's appeal.

2005 - November 17 - 14th Court of Appeals upholds verdict.

2008 - October 3 - Susan Wright files motion for a new trial

and sentencing.

Her motion is based on her claims that her previous trial attorneys

were "allegedly deficient by not calling key witnesses during her

murder trial. Wright and her new attorney, Brian Wice, said her

original attorneys "should have called Jeffrey Wright's previous

fiancée, who claimed he also abused her for two years. " Wice also

argued that "a psychologist and a battered woman expert should

have testified for the defense."

Susan Wright's prison penpal profile states that she is

a "single widow."

Wright's use of "single widow" is merely a euphemism,

used in place of "murderess" and is just another lie used

to manipulate.

"Sassy Southern belle seeks long term friendship.
Don't let the petite, curvy frame fool you, I am
self-sufficient, confidant and I love a challenge.

My crystal blue eyes and light brown, silky hair add
to my classic beauty. A true romantic at heart, I am
loyal, tender, compassionate, a great listener and
easy to be around.

I love beaches, museums, movies, music, books,
dancing, cooking and gardening. I am equally at home
in heels and a slinky dress as I am in shorts in the
back yard.

I believe life should be lived to the fullest. I try
to laugh as much and as long as I can each day. I am
looking for a positive, out going, easy spirit to share
good times with; someone who loves to laugh and is
looking for an adventure.

I like to learn and experience new horizons and I

am a nature lover and enjoy things that challenge my

mind as much as I appreciate the peace and relaxation

of simplicity.

I value honesty, an open mind, a determined will and

those who are self-assured, intelligent and unafraid

to take chances.

Nothing in this world is without some degree of risk but

with great risk comes great reward. Are you willing to

take the risk and get to know me?

I'll be waiting.
