I have just arrived in the state of Wisconsin, jurisdiction of our next live trial — Wisconsin vs. Mark Jensen. It may be 10 degrees here with snow everywhere but that won’t stop jury selection from beginning Thursday in Elkhorn, about 40 miles from Milwaukee. This case is what movies are made of, but in this situation the result is tragically real. Julie Jensen, the wife of the man now charged in her murder, was found dead in her bed of what prosecutors say was intentional poisoning at the hands of her husband Mark. Three weeks before her death Julie went to her son’s teacher, neighbors and even police telling everyone, “I think my husband is trying to poison me.” She even gave a sealed envelope to her neighbor, instructing that it should be given to police if she is found dead. Days later, she was indeed found dead. All of this will be coming into the trial. This circumstantial case may not be so easy to prove, however. The defense is saying Julie was depressed and had just found out about her husband’s affair. Julie committed suicide, the defense will assert, masterminding an entire plan so that her husband would be found guilty of a crime he didn’t commit. So get some hot cocoa and join me in front of your television sets as we analyze this intriguing case together live from Elkhorn, Wisconsin. – Jean Casarez Filed under: Jean Casarez • Trials |
