So far there has been little testimony in the #TexMcIver case about his first marriage, but I assume the defense will bring it up. The acrimonious divorce in 2000 cost him big, and doubtless made him laser-focused on money going forward, esp when it came to a second marriage.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the defense case might be short...they mention in pre-trial that most of the witnesses that state has on the list are on their list too so they expect if state calls them they can get their testimony during cross. I have seen that happening with most witnesses so they probably only will have the sleep person and maybe some ballistics. They expected the trial to go one month so not so sure they are that far behind...not sure judge conveyed that to jury. I also read where Billy Corey really distanced himself from Tex after the death of Diane and I think he is not buying the accident theory...makes me wonder what else he knows that will never come into trial. And boy is Anne Schwall buying Tex' story but of course she has every reason to go with it. I agree that Austin sleeping in with Tex and Diane is beyond strange.

I don't trust her testimony because she's basically financially indebted to him and is hoping her son will receive the ranch of a share of it. And, yeah, sleeping in the same room with people who aren't your parents or grandparents is odd. That and the total devotion to the one child.

Law professor says based on the wills she saw, the godson would have gotten the ranch at some point down the road, especially after #TexMcIver change his will to give Austin "residual" estate.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not if he sold the ranch before he died, IMO, because the ranch wouldn't be in his estate by then.

GBI's Nicole Carroll shows the #TexMcIver jury where they swabbed the .38 for testing. There was not enough DNA on the trigger to build a profile. If there was something between the person's hand & the trigger or other parts, that would decrease DNA amount, she says @wsbradio
