Representing himself, Kuami Wright convinced the judge to drop an indecent assault charge, but contradicted himself as he testified on the stand Friday.

Acting as his own attorney, Kuami Wright put himself on the stand and told a Dauphin County Jury Friday he didn’t commit the crimes that landed him in the courtroom. He professed his innocence shortly after he was arrested by Harrisburg police nearly two years ago, too, when he sent a written message to a friend Nov. 5, 2020 from behind bars: “They’re saying I kidnapped an old white lady, stripped her and robbed her.”
But prosecutors on Friday used that statement against him, pointing out he could not have known the ethnicity or any details about the victim in this case if he wasn’t involved. If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
