Is it normal in the mormon religion for them to wear wedding rings? I just ask this because i noticed that travis's ex girlfriend wasn't wearing a wedding ring, nothing wrong with that but just in her testimony that travis had felt bad that he had taken up so much of her life without marrying her. I was wondering if she had ever gotten married or maybe she had gotten married and subsequently divorced, etc.
I thought that Deanna Reid was a very credible witness for the prosecution too. She was forthright and seemed like a really smart nice woman who Travis loved and treated quite well for years, though he wasn't ready to marry her.
I know they remained good friends after she broke it off with him and that Travis's dog Napolean is in her care. But, I don't know if she ever married. Mormon couples do wear wedding rings; not sure if she didn't have one on because she's still single, divorced, or married and chose not to wear it to court for some reason.
THE END IS NEAR!!!!
Closing arguments will begin next week. For real.
It has not yet been announced whether the judge will allow a surrebuttal witness to rebut Dr. Demarte, but most legal analysts that I've read believe the judge will allow it (thereby giving the defense the final word to the jury).
Haven't seen any announcement as to whether the judge will grant the defense's request to add Manslaughter by Sudden Quarrel or Heat of Passion to the jury instructions. If Judge Stephens grants this request, it is a huge win for the defense team, imo. Whichever way it goes, anxious to hear the decision and rationale behind it.
Looking forward to the final countdown...
