I just had a thought.
I did not know about the so-called "second meeting" between Stacey and the pastor.
I wonder, did Stacey, in a previous phone conversation, allude to the subject matter of what she wanted to meet with him about? Did the pastor bring along someone else to witness the conversation? To validate that it happened?
If that is the case, I wonder why the second person was not called or allowed to testify about what he might have heard? Probably the defense fought to keep it out.
In any event, if I am a juror, right now I am thinking:
How many men have I heard of who have been married four times, have unlimited access to and carry weapons and know and consort with thugs, take out contracts on ex-wives, and two of their ex-wives have gone to extraordinary lengths to find tell people that their lives are in danger or they know that he has threatened/killed another wife? Could such a man as this kill his wife and make it look like an accident?
I don't think there was a second meeting.
