Case Number 68: The Conviction of Chris Wright

Burden of Proof

Chris Wright was living the dream in 2007. He was newly married to his beautiful wife, Bianca, lived in the equally beautiful Salt Lake City, and worked a successful career in real estate. Everything changed though, when he took his neighbor up on an offer to introduce him to Ken Doleszar. Ken was a potential investor for Chris' latest real estate project. When Ken was gunned down in front of an eye witness just two weeks before he was due to invest in the deal, Chris and Bianca's lives were flipped upside down. The case built on a questionable eye witness testimony, a lack of expert testimony, and mostly circumstantial evidence somehow still managed to convince a jury that Chris Wright was the shooter. Join us for this lengthy but truly wild ride where Elysia gives not only the facts of the case, but the conspiracy theory as to why it's possible Chris was set up. Meanwhile, Savannah does a terrible job at disclaiming that we're not saying who did it, but she's definitely saying Chris is innocent.
