Police say that motive is still not completely clear but that it would appear that Wright had tired of caring for the child. Jori Lirette's head and body were found dumped outside of his home with Wright sitting nearby. Kerry Cuccia of the Capital Defense Project of Southeast Louisiana has been appointed to defend Wright.
