Summary of Offense:
On April 20, 2000, Wright carjacked, kidnapped, robbed and murdered James Felker, 18, and David Lee Green. 21. Wright waived a jury recommendation of punishment and asked the judge to sentence him. In aggravation, Wright had multiple convictions for violent felonies and was already serving two life sentences for a drive-by-shooting the morning before this killing. In mitigation, the defense argued that he had a difficult upbringing and an anti-social personality disorder. The defense further argued that it was really Wright’s accomplice who was responsible for the deaths because Wright was under his control.
Wright was sentenced to death in Polk County on October 13, 2005.
