... JW who grew up with the couple and has been a close friend for decades.
JW says he did hear them argue occasionally but says he never saw it become physical. He thought Cruey was missing and never saw it coming when Dales confessed to him.

Opening statements started Wednesday. The state pushed to show that Dales and Cruey were married but like any couple, had their fair share of disagreements.
The defense rested its case just before 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
Dales will not take the stand to testify about what happened that day. She had a deadline of 9 a.m. Thursday to make her decision, but her lawyers asked for an extension.
Eleven witnesses took to the stand on Wednesday. From neighbors to family, even dispatch.
The defense spent the day trying to convince the jury Dales is a battered woman who suffered from a cycle of domestic violence in her relationship with her husband.
