Can spouses testify against each other in court. Hanes and Nelson both recently married. Hanes out of prison April 2016 and married a few months later.
Lots of people change their statuses to married when a relationship gets serious. It doesn't mean they were legally married. Surely a tattoo doesn't make it a legally binding contract. JsThere was her post saying they got married June 28. She posted a photo of name Hanes tatooed on back of neck and said she was officially a Hanes now. Not actually married?

Two fugitives from Ohio involved in the shooting death of Hatch Police Officer Jose Chavez met in the Ohio prison system and are believed to have been helped get across the country by friends and family.
KOB spoke with Ross County (Ohio) Lt. Michael Preston Wednesday, who said detectives believe 38-year-old Jesse Hanes and 36-year-old James Nelson initially planned to rob 62-year-old Theodore Timmons before he was killed July 25.
The lieutenant said detectives don't believe the two men had any personal relationship with Timmons.
Lt. Preston says deputies believe Nelson was trafficking meth while in Ohio he was charged with meth and marijuana trafficking after his arrest in New Mexico as well -- and that he and Hanes were trying to escape to Mexico after the murder of Timmons.
He said the two are believed to have received money from friends and family to eventually make it to New Mexico, but said the sheriff's office doesn't have enough evidence at this point to file charges against those involved for aiding the fugitives.
After Timmons' body was found, Ohio law enforcement agencies spent nearly two days on a statewide manhunt that proved unsuccessful. Nelson and Hanes are believed to have stolen cars and robbed their way to New Mexico.
I think they can if they want but I believe they can not be forced unless they had prior knowledge or are involved in the crime.I just saw the post where Amanda states she and Hanes were married June 28. (Not July 28 after murder as I believe you are thinking.) Saw it an hour ago. First saw it a couple of days ago. The "might as well be married" post was earlier. What I really want to know is can spouses testify against each other in court?

In short, spouses generally do not have to take the witness stand against each other if they do not want to. But, even in some cases where they might want to, they cannot do it if what they want to testify about is something that happened in the privacy of the marriage and the other spouse does not want them to.
Nor could I see either one of them telling the truth if they were forced to. Some have speculated a relationship with WK. They would be better off focusing on her as a witness. ImoUnder Ohio law, spouses cannot be compelled to provide testimony and they are barred from doing so under some circumstances under the privileged communication doctrine.
Ohio has exceptions for testimony if there is a DV charge or violence/abuse against others in the home.

That link goes to the viewpoint of a criminal defense attorney so their inclination is going to be heavy on the privileged communication side.
If a legal spouse wants to provide testimony in court against Hanes or Nelson, the issue will be hashed out in front of a judge to make the determination if voluntary testimony is admissible under the particulars of the testimony itself.
Don't see either woman desiring to provide testimony willingly other than under the cloud of dealing away any possible criminal conduct they might have engaged in.

Court records suggest Hanes wasnt checking in with parole.
They need to be more aggressive with people who are on parole and aren't following rules and conditions of parole, Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien told 4 Investigates.
OBrien said sometimes parole and probation employees have a heavy caseload, allowing some of the released to be off the state's radar.
OBrien said Ohios prison population is approximately 50,000 and there are only 40,000 beds. A state board that addresses criminal justice reform in the state is already talking about releasing non-violent offenders to make room for dangerous ones like Hanes.

Just checked the change of address Hanes filed on 4/28/16 in Franklin County Court and that address per google doesn't even exist.

Again, you may need to reenter the information.
Isn't his middle name Denver?Found a name, a daycare business and a cupcake business associated with that address.
Found a FB grouping with that name that includes Jesse Hanes and AH. Also includes a person possibly related to Hanes who lives in Denver.
Feds have said they believe Hanes and Nelson received assistance from family and friends to leave Ohio.
Those two Colorado bank robberies remain good possibilities IMO.
I wonder where they picked up Jones from? Isn't he from MO? We use to take the southern route from OH to AZ and we went through MO. If we took the northern route we would go through CO to Alburgue on down to Las Cruces.
