Accused Infant Murderer Plans to Marry Prosecution Witness

Prosecutors fear marriage could hinder witness' role in trial due to spousal immunity statutes.

Shannon Overstreet, accused of murdering his infant daughter, Angel Overstreet, in 2021, has expressed his intention to marry a key witness in the case.
Overstreet is currently serving time for an unrelated case and has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, including murder.
Prosecutors fear that if the marriage takes place, the witness' testimony may become unusable due to spousal immunity and spousal privilege statutes.
Overstreet's lawyer, Kerry Nessel, argues that it's unlikely a judge can delay a marriage.
A hearing has been scheduled for January 23 to revisit the issue of the marriage.
