Both Sievers and Rodgers have trial set for Tuesday, but who will go first?

Mark Sievers and Jimmy Rodgers’ trials in Lee County are four years in the making.

Sievers is accused of being involved in the planning and execution in the 2015 murder of his wife, Doctor Teresa Sievers, who was found bludgeoned to death with a hammer in their Bonita Springs home.

In the weeks after her death, detectives arrested Rodgers and Wayne Wright, Seivers’ childhood best friend.

Wright later took a plea deal in exchange for testimony against Seivers.

Now, it is just hours from the start of the murder trial and there are still many unanswered questions.

Sievers and Rodgers are scheduled for trial Tuesday morning.

So who will go first?

“He’s gonna have to take a lot of factors into account,” said Attorney Peter Dennis.
