TEXARKANA, Ark. -- The pictures could be the keepsakes from any family's photo album: dated snapshots of a birthday party 15 years ago, a smiling 8-year-old girl at a turkey dinner, a teenager posed in front of an ornamental star.
"Who is the girl on the right wearing the Barbie shirt?" a prosecutor asked as another image flashed up.
The witness answered: It was the 8-year-old that evangelist Tony Alamo had taken "as his wife."
