TEXARKANA, Ark. - As lawyers begin to defend evangelist Tony Alamo against sex-crime charges, their biggest liability might be their client.
Prosecutors will likely rest their case against the 74-year-old Alamo on Tuesday, a day after the evangelist blurted out a reference to the raid on the Branch Davidians at Waco, Texas, in a courtroom outburst. Prosecutors plan to play for jurors recordings of jailhouse telephone calls the preacher made since his arrest on charges that he took underage girls across state lines for sex.
Jurors heard last week from the five former followers who say Alamo abused them as girls. In graphic testimony, they said that they traveled to California, Tennessee and West Virginia for sex with their pastor or responded to his call and returned to Arkansas from out of state and had sex with him.
