Trial continues

The trial of Christopher Luke Pratt, 39, of Marshall continued this morning after a delay in getting underway due to some objections by defense attorney J. Thomas Schaeffer over his lack of access to the 911 tape, the curriculum vitae of domestic violence expert witness, Maureen McNamara, and the victim's medical doctor. Testifying this morning were various 911 dispatch and county officials verifying the 911 recording and that phone calls were made from Pratt's cell to his home phone number after his arrest. The trial was scheduled to resume at 1:15 p.m. with the testimony of Pratt's ex wife, Susan Harrington, to whom he was married for 9 years and with whom he has two sons. The trial in front of Judge Stephen Miller is scheduled to resume Monday.
