TEXARKANA, Ark. -- Jailed evangelist Tony Alamo "married" the underage girls he allegedly forced into sex, exchanging wedding vows and rings, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors made the claim as lawyers met Friday with U.S. District Judge Harry F. Barnes about Alamo's trial, slated to begin next week. The trial, scheduled to last two weeks, will put Alamo's lawyers in a delicate position of trying to tear into the credibility of the evangelist's alleged victims on the stand while trying to not alienate jurors in the conservative southwestern Arkansas town.
