Heading: Assistant District Attorney Kathy King:

Text: Assistant District Attorney Kathy King's testimony echoed that of Moore's. She also stated that Fielding Wright approached them and stated that Evans could tell them who was the real killer of Pierce. Wright told her that based on what Evans had already told him, Evans was not guilty of anything more than accessory after the fact. King stated that she and Wright then discussed what kind of offer might be made for Evans since he was already on probation. However, she never promised Wright anything since the prosecution team had not yet spoken to Evans himself. She said that she made it clear to both Evans and Wright that there would be no deal if Evans' version of the story did not match up with all of the other evidence and testimony of the other co-indictees. Because there were many discrepancies between Evans' testimony and that of Williams and the other co-indictee, Norwood, King stated that a deal was up in the air, and in her mind, there was no deal, in light of the indictments handed down by the grand jury. The only discussion she had with Fielding Wright post-indictment was when Wright inquired as to what happened, and she responded, `Fielding, obviously the grand jury didn't believe all the facts as your man told them after they heard all the evidence, and they saw fit to indict him.' And that's all I ever said to Fielding after that. She further stated that [t]he only other time I kn[e]w anything about any deals even being discussed was some time before the trial was set... . Terrell Evans was in our office and ... when Mike [Moore] told him there were no deals, there were not going to be any deals. I don't remember Mike's exact words, but Mike said as far as he was concerned, he would go with the death penalty for him [Evans] too.
