Trial date set in killing of former Clippers player Lorenzen Wright

More than eight years after the bullet-riddled remains of former Clippers player Lorenzen Wright were found in Memphis, Tenn., a trial date has been set for his ex-wife and another man charged with the killing.

“Unless there is some unavoidable act of God that makes it impossible to try this case, this case will be tried on that date,” Coffee told the defendants.

Prosecutors charged Wright and Turner in December with shooting Lorenzen Wright to death in a field to collect on a $1-million life insurance policy. Both have pleaded not guilty.

Sherra Wright, who lived in Murrieta at the time of her arrest, is jailed in lieu of $20-million bail.
