Jimmie Martin - Co-Conspirator
The man who allegedly shot and killed NBA center Lorenzen Wright, 34, on behalf of the victim’s ex-wife will finally stand trial more than 11 years after the murder. Jurors will decide the fate of Billy Ray Turner, 51, in Shelby County, Tennessee. You can watch in the player above.
The Los Angeles Clippers drafted Wright 7th overall in 1996 during that era’s basketball boom period. He ended up returning to his hometown Memphis for five seasons to play for the Grizzles. It was in July 2010, the year after his final season, that he made a final 911 call to authorities in Germantown, Tennessee. 11 gunshots cut it short. He was found dead on July 28, 2010.
Authorities said he was last seen leaving the home of Sherra Wright, his ex-wife. Prosecutors say she is the woman behind his murder. She was originally charged with first-degree murder, but she ended up pleading down to lesser charges of facilitation to commit first-degree murder and facilitation to commit attempted first-degree murder. She was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Turner was a landscaper who went to Sherra Wright’s church. According to an affidavit, the pair were involved in a relationship at the time of Lorenzen Wright’s death, and had been heard discussing potential plots to kill the basketball player.
According to prosecutor Paul Hagerman, a man named Jimmie Martin admitted that he played a role in the murder. He helped Sherra Wright and Turner plan Lorenzen Wright’s murder, and that Sherra Wright paid him for this.
In this version of events, Sherra Wright picked him up in the days after the murder, picked up Turner, and Martin helped them clean up the crime scene and destroy evidence. Sherra Wright borrowed a metal detector from Martin’s mother in order to find the murder weapon, which Turner dropped. Martin accompanied Turner to the lake, where Turner threw away the gun.
Authorities said that Martin led authorities to that lake near Walnut, Mississippi on Nov. 9, 2017. Prosecutors have identified him as the unindicted co-conspirator in the case.
He actually was out on bond during the Wright killing. Jurors had acquitted him in 2009 for murdering his girlfriend Martha Jean Bownes, but could not reach a decision on second-degree murder, according to The Commercial Appeal. He was finally convicted on that lesser charge in 2012 and sentenced to 20 years behind bars.
Turner attorney John Keith Perry signaled that Martin lacked credibility.
“He’s a convicted murderer that was caught in, I think, 40 different lies in his trial,” he reportedly said.

Umm 🧐 Billy looking a little worried with Jimmy being on that stand right now…
Agree
He should be... But I think Sherra them all shook.
😭😭😭
Yah he looked like Jimmie was about to try to give him his mix tape
I can’t stand him
This dude is testifying like he stole some candy. He has a smirk/laugh/smile on his face the entire time. I swear people have no heart anymore!!
Yes the smiling 😡. No respect for Lorenzen nor his mother.
Could be a nervous response. Some ppl do that.
He’s a killer himself he’s heartless
Anymore?? I mean, Cain killed Abel; man hasn’t had “heart” from the beginning.
Don’t matter long as the snitch snitching it helps Lorenzen’s family no matter his motives no matter his mannerisms… he could’ve chosen not to say 💩
Imagine being the person asleep on the couch and now knowing you could've been dead because two people were in the same room with guns ready to commit murder! My God!!
Thats more freaky than anything man...Basically in an unconcious state so vulnerable n woke up not knowing a thing!! Id rather not know cus id never sleep again!
Yes. Lucky for you they recognized you weren't Lorenzen. whew😳
Oh yeah….that messed me up!!!! What if they decided to kill everyone sight to get to Lorenen!!! OMG!!!! Gives me chills!!!
Jealousy, hate and greed a deadly combination to have.
The fact that people reallllly think they could take someone's life and totally get off is narcissistic and sociopathic...its the audacity for me..as a person who had a loved one taken from me through a murder for money...I don't have any empathy for these people..but for the family sake .I am happy he is telling the truth
Likewise same here my uncle was killed over $20 in 09 in Memphis. That’s where I’m from too. Sad for this city but I can’t hardly watch this. The DA is the same man who tried my uncles killer who got him life without parole, first degree murder. He’s a good man
I used to go to Lorenzen Wrights basketball camp as a little kid. Sad sad story
When I was in the Navy.. I was stationed with Jimmie Martin in Memphis. We worked at a Medical Clinic... So sad.....He was a good guy when I knew him
We would never kno the story if it wasn’t for Jimmy. He so truthful. Owning up to it. Rip lorenzen
Sound like Jimmy did it
This judge is really polite
No the Judge isn't me living in Memphis and know of Judge Coffee he is a real mean Judge that believes throwing the book at a mofo BIG FACTS
Wow!! His life could have been so different...Navy, nurse IT work! Life is about the choices and the company you keep!
I was thinking the same thing
When he was saying he was in the Navy and a nurse? WTF just sad
Absolutely!!!!!
This Judge is the epitome of professional and good character!
Yess
Yes
This is just some cold-blooded stuff right here. Listening to his testimony gives me chills. If only Lorenzen had an inkling of what that woman was truly capable of...but then, maybe he did and chose to ignore his gut feelings just because she was the mother of his children and couldn't comprehend she could be so evil with absolutely no remorse whatsoever.
I believe Sherra was one of the shooters too. And I think Jimmy will drop that bombshell today. 👀
She manipulated him. Poor guy. All cause she didn't want him getting kids
@@CarmenBIGPRESSURECaBoom I believe that she was presence during the shooting.
💨💨💨Yes the thought of Turner allowing another person like Sherra , Lorenzen ex wife to control his mind and tells him to kill Lorenzen so that him and Sherra can be together and get married along with Lorenzen money and live happily ever after. Instead Sherra left Memphis and married someone else. She left him behind🤦🏾♂️This is a Lifetime movie in the making Turner did not think this out clearly.
As the old saying goes before you take an action think about your consequences.
I Would Not &Never Go Back To Any Women Who Is Willin To Harm A Man Then Again You Can Do What Chris Brown Did Beat The Partner To Bloody Pulp
I'm loving this trial... thank u for cameras in the courtroom.
I LOVE THIS JUDGE!
It’s Jimmie smiling for me . Of course he’s happy , he gets to admit stuff & not be prosecuted 🙃
This is unacceptable, unbelievable uncalled for
These people greedy AF and care nothing about human life. 😔
Sherra should never see outside prison..plotting, planning. Pleads guilty.
He was hoping it didn’t happen but he was willing to go along with it
Exactly 💯 he's a piece of dirt
This dude really could have been a successful man. He's been around the world while in the Navy and the be a nurse? Sometimes I just don't understand what went wrong and he was a pediatric nurse so he must've liked kids. I'm a nurse and this really makes me feel bad. I pray for peace and strength for this family.
I sure wouldn’t want him over Me n a hospital
The kids are the real victims here. Their own morher killed their father, and their Uncle was part of it. They have REALLY LOST. God have mercy on them, and may they grow up knowing they can turn this tragity into a testimony. I pray they don't let this define them, but make them strong and successful.
My Lord thank you for putting conviction on the hearts of this evil people n conscience also doing justice for his mother n kids this 💔 my heart because for love of money and revenge this women is need of deliverance so God can forgive ness n uncle n police this sad now
@@evelynflores6186 girllll and the nerve to still appeal blows my mind.
I watched her parole hearing and she still won't admit to what she done. She's still lying and manipulating her children
@@thetruedoctrineofchristnet7473 they stopped talking about the baby who died. Ppl are really crazy.
I wish this never happened….Just Evil and Greedy
Billy had to know in his gut it's time to pay the piper. You might get by, but you won't get away
My grandmother always said that! So true.
That defense attorney needs to go back to law school
He’s full of himself! Spewing off details of a murder and smirking like he’s telling a bedtime story!!
Second time listening to the evidence . At first I thought guilty but this guy is getting off for his testimony which sounds like a set up for Billy being fall guy. Nobody can verify his along he was at home. Too much doubt in his story for me.
@@robinoconnor8416 Do some more research buddy.
The more I watch these videos the happier I feel knowing I'm a free man. "Whew" the mess people get into
😁😁 u and I both, sure is good to eat a burger 🍔 when ever I want to. Free as a bird 🐦 😉
There’s a lot of really good humans out there. You just have to choose wisely.
@@Fckyourfeelingsboo Agreed, but boy are they had to come bye.
He telling it all with a smile 😩
I could never do that to someone I once loved!
Defendant’s are always wearing glasses and doing crossword puzzles 😂
Yeessssssss
Billy couldn’t have honestly think that Sherra wanted him being the yard man and all…As Greedy as she was…🤷🏾♀️
She used manipulated him and moved on to the next…
That's just how manipulative she is. She manipulated lorenzen the same way
Correct
How he can smile through all of this😡
I wonder what Billy writing? 🤣🤣🤣Probably starting his book of how long he gonna be in Prison 🤦♀️
I feel he has a nervous smirk. Not that he’s happy about what he’s done. However he killed a human n he will never be there same. This death will haunt him n also his ex girlfriend
Cold 🥶 blooded… I’m so sorry 😢 Rip
Is Jimmie staring at Billie or is it just me😂
I thought the same or they keep staring at each other
All of em...cold blooded
He is smiling alot because, some people smile because they are nervous 😓 and smile 😃 as to not look scared or nervous 😬
If your hitman doesn't reply to texts for weeks at a time, he's just not that in to you. Move on, girl.
Trickster just tricked billy off the streets u see the wife took a plea
Why does court look like it’s being held at a holiday inn express?
LOL
Amazing
Billy may need to testify because this is not looking good for him.
Billy will arrange a special trip for Jimmie.
Lord I couldn’t !!!!! Mrs Wright🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️give her strength!!!!!
I highly doubt Jimmie only agreed to kill Lorenzen because he was afraid that his cousin would kill him if he refused.
We're talking about a man who was already convicted of shooting his girlfriend in the chest and killing her back in 2007. So, I don't see this as being a huge leap for him. What does surprise me is that he already had murder charged pending against him (for the killing of his girlfriend) when he killed Lorenzen. Why on earth would he agree to commit another murder while waiting to go to trial for another murder?? 🤔
Facts
Jimmy didnt kill Lorenzen Billy Ray did
The only reason I could see Jimmie being involved is they promised him money or a help with a lawyer
How u know
Whatever
Why is he smirking and smiling? He was a collaborator in the death of a soul that belongs to God!
Beyond scary
how does one go from being in the Navy to committing a crime this egregious.
Happens more often than you think
Ez
I remember his first Charge... I was leaving Memphis by then
TRUST IN THE HIGHER POWER. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
That witness stand is nice dang swivel chair ,side table ,kleenex & all .
This is what you call making a deal with the Devil to get what you want
Yep
His rap name was what again? Trickster?
He was there he should be convicted as well but his testimony for Billy is what they needed
Are there no mics??
It seems to me like this would be dangerous for Jimmie. He's already in custody for a prior offense, if he essentially "snitches", won't that leave him open to a dangerous position once he's brought back to prison? 🤔
My brother was locked up with Jimmie. He told me once that special aired with him as a snitch, they moved him expeditiously! He’s under PC wherever he is!
I believe also that they made him a deal to come testify and not charge him for his part since he didnt pull the trigger.
We don't care
@@caramelkimmiekim8272 facts!!!
Maybe but remember he was the person that bust the case wide open 12 yrs ago so IMO if the prisoners were after him they would have done something to him by now plus the majority of them were born & raised in Tennessee and were probably huge fans of home grown basketball star Lorenz Wright so wanted to see his murder solved of course that's just my opinion on why I don't think prisoners will come after him
This is a tiny tiny court room.
I think Lorenzen Wright mother was correct. This Billy Ray Turner dude is slow. Why would he get involved in this murder? Sherra must have talked him into it. She slept with him a couple times, and that's all it took. I don't think she promised him any money. She planned all along to make Billy the fall guy, if she got caught.
NOW , that is true. She never married Billy. Therefore she could always testify against
She used everybody around her.
Please knock that grin off his face
Rip LW
I sure as heck hope that this guy who is testifying is in prison for life because even though they can’t indict him for his testimony he’s a cold-blooded killer. And he has a smirk on his face the entire time he testifies. It’s one of those “you can’t touch me“ looks. He’s a stone cold killer. Please tell me he’s in prison for life.
I’m sure he will get out since he snitched messed up that it goes that way but if he never brought forward the information the case would not have been solved…….So he is a good person and a snake at the same time in the eyes of the law but a snake to the streets
He’s serving 20 years already for murdering his girlfriend.
@@Fckyourfeelingsboo I wish it was Life but OK, 20 years.
🙄
This guy smirked the entire time.....just plain evil.
We all know that Jimmie was on site when ren was killed he was one of the trigger men Jimmie Amd Billy Sherra was the one who brought Lorenzen to the site
The people (jury and others) cannot possibly be able to hear half of the testimony….they are speaking at inside library voice.
"inside library voice" Bwahahahahaha cracked me up. Good one
This is deep. Was that defendant sleep🤣
The cross examination is gonna be gooood😎
I love the way he remembers all the details about the red pool table and this and that but he doesn’t remember the pregnant woman’s name. Right.
If this would have occurred in the state of Georgia all of them would get life in prison
In North Carolina too, and Texas...
The SMERK is Killing me
That’s so scary too actually be asleep and someone has broken in the house
The only situation where I'm happy I wake up to every tiny noise. My dog is older and wakes up through the night to pee. All she has to do is shake her ears in the hallway and I'm wide awake. I don't know how it would turn out if someone broke in, but I'd definitely be awake.
No one takes a job and not know how much they’re getting paid especially MURDER!
They left too much evidence
Terrible sound 😏
She offered them some of the million dollar life insurance payoff, that's why nobody left or said no
Still just a hot UGLY mess....Jealousy, Envy & Hatred....
The Lawyer tells the witness to keep his voice up. He needs to do the same.
Ikr😂😂
Wow !!! This woman just sat up in count, and lied !! Crying and stuff at her parole hearing. Poor kids; why don’t she come clean ? She should never get out of jail. Took a life she shouldn’t be out in 30 years. Life is what she needs
Wow, he can’t go to jail, he can’t go home
training day reference lol i caught that l
He telling everything
I'm a little late to the game here. What was her motive?
$1M insurance policy. The next guy wrote a book called "$1M reasons" her boyfriend that she moved her family in with.
Correction the book is called " A million reasons"
Evil & greed.
He said Billy’s car color was “Gun” metal🥴🥴🥴
She baited him with the lie that Lorenzen had a contract out on her. To kill Lorenzen so they can be together. But 🤣 she ended up marrying another man (Reggie Robinson). smh
He warned her this ain't the type of business you wanna be in .. if i'm going down we all going down type of dude right here
This is truly sad i remember this case from yrs ago . this is really cold-blooded hire someone to kill your ex-husband and the father of your kids these ppl is sick .she even wrote a book talking about it .🙏🙏goes out to his family's special his loving mom she never stop til she got justice for her 1st born son.
That’s crazy sherra wants to make it seem as if she had no part in setting the whole plot up she destroyed so many lives over greed she shouldn’t have been able to get a plea when she the one initiated the whole thing
exactly
The jury should be allowed to know what the maximum sentence is that the defendant is facing because that is the very sentence that this witness avoided by testifying for the state. It goes to bias. Directly relevant to the motive to fabricate. IMO, an exception to the general rule that sentence length is irrelevant and in admissible.
Yup Billy got railroaded didn't take a deal and that opened opportunity for Jimmie to get that off
It is absolutely very indecent of the proscecuter to put is both hands in his pockets. What uncivilized and disgusting. In the court !!!!!
No any educacion of the man.
Wow
Jimmie did that ish too he is a killer. He need to meet his fate too
I still want to know why she wanted him dead. Was it for the insurance money? And also why these two agreed to her foolishness.
I'm wondering also.
Ms Deborah stated that there was a $1M life insurance that Sherra blew through in 1 year.
Money the million dollars she spent in 10 months
@@tbull7879 Yes it was 10 months and I am happy that they found her dude guilty.
So they can be considered real ones & now her cuz up there telling the life time story
Sad but as her cousin he should have turned get in at the moment or just Idk be her not having the money to pay for his fees and etc idk! He had no loyalty!! THEN AGAIN I am happy she was caught!! That’s so bold how they did this
I really like this Judge, however after watching countless court hearings, the judge is ALWAYS adamant that witnesses speak loudly & clearly & INTO A MIC‼️
Horrible audio‼️‼️‼️
Old courtroom not equipped with technology. Needs to be updated. The jury etc seemed to hear ok so maybe this is their first televised trial.
She’s talking about family reunion?? And she is killing her ex-husband.
He smiling telling this story like he’s talking about talking his kids to the zoo or something
Has she been charged?
That’s what I want to know and the pregnant girl
I’m trying to understand how he’s grinning when a whole life was taken.
Just catching up. Who is this guy?
co-conspirator.
Sherra cousin that lead them to the gun
@@lenoracallins3532 thanks! B watching tomorrow
A rat
It’s been extremely hard for me to follow this case for several different reasons but a couple jump out at me. One, the prosecutor’s voice is so soft spoken that it makes it hard for me to focus and hear what he’s saying. Two, the few times I have tuned in- the defense attorney seem like he is all over the place (arguing with the judge, witnesses, etc). All of that to say.. My question is what evidence is there that points to Billy Ray Turner committing the murder vs. Jimmy doing it and trying to pin it on Billy? Did I miss something or have we not got there yet?
The gun found was traced back to Billy as the owner
@@tamzart8162 Ok, thanks! I’ll try and watch it because I have more questions than answers. Lol
@@sconley so do I...Jimmie is so far the one pointing the finger, I believe...wonder if Sherra will appear?
the wife testified that Turner did it. And phone messages from wife .he helped cleanup but not the shooting
Thank you for asking that. I was wondering myself because I haven't watched every day
The female involved in this was trifling and manipulative. This is how most of these dudes are getting killed. These women are setting them up and they don't even know it. Sad
OMG
I need earbuds
The prosecutor told him to speak up he's the who talking low
Use them… I’m using mine & can hear perfectly.
What is wrong with the ridiculous PROSECUTOR⁉️
Does he care?? Hate his job?? Hung over?? WAKE UP & SPEAK UP!! He’s irritating!!!!
Hands in pockets…🤦♀️🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
He’s doing a great job in my eyes.
Did testifying keep him from getting the death penalty
Immunity
He flipped on all of Em…
He’s doing 20 years already for killing his girlfriend.
If any one of these ppl who knew about about the plot would have spoken up this man would still be alive today 😭 I just don’t get how you can’t take something like that serious smh
Snitch killed someone else and will get out early for snitching on another murder. Two wrongs don't make a right. They shouldn't allow Prosecutors to give deals with murderers for confessions.
Could someone please explain quickly what the crime was and is it worth watching ?
The case is about a former NBA PLAYER Lorenzen wright who played for the Memphis grizzlies he was murdered in 2010 by his ex wife and cousin and the ex wife boyfriend Billy Ray tuner.
It's about murder and a cheating wife
@@joegeorge3889 you mean money hungry exwife
@@sherrythomas5059 2010??? Wholly crap. So if she's in jail for 30+ what are they after now, the actual killer?
