“You made some mistakes over the course of these events,” Starkey said.
“Bad choices?” asked Starkey.
Wiggins’ attorney, Sarah Gad, painted Segura as a compromised witness. Throughout 2019, Wiggins and Segura had been under a federal drug dealing investigation. Two months before Baugh was killed, Wiggins was arrested by federal law enforcement and Segura had her house raided in a narcotics search. Gad noted that Segura, Davis and Berry were all charged with the kidnapping and shooting soon after the crimes, while it took more than 10 months for Wiggins to be charged. Gad said Wiggins was charged only after Segura met with federal and state prosecutors to potentially make a deal for her testimony. That deal was never completed, but Wiggins was charged shortly after the meeting.
Gad said that shortly after the shooting, Segura found out that Wiggins had an infant child with another woman. Gad asked if this had anything to do with Segura’s testimony against Wiggins.
