HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) Testimony continued Monday in the capital murder trial of Christopher Henderson, a north Alabama man accused of working with his first wife to kill his pregnant second wife and four members of her family.
Prosecutors say Christopher Henderson was still legally married to Rhonda Carlson, when he married Kristen Smallwood Henderson. They said Christopher Henderson and Carlson later plotted to kill Kristen Henderson and her family in 2015. The five family members, including two children, were shot and stabbed before the house was set ablaze, authorities said.
Carlson, who took a plea deal to avoid the death penalty, testified last week, news outlets reported. Defense lawyers cross-examined her Monday.
