SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A lawyer for a Utah man accused of killing his wife says she likely shot herself accidently after grabbing her gun while still dripping wet from a shower. Defense attorney Ronald Yengich argues Heidy Truman probably thought she heard an intruder in their Orem home. He says Conrad Truman called his wife's cellphone just before her death, showing he wasn't close enough to kill her. Conrad Truman's trial began yesterday with prosecutors saying he killed Heidy Truman for nearly $1 million of insurance money.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Democrat Charles Stormont says the legal defense of "hot button" polygamy and gay marriage laws by Attorney General Sean Reyes is a waste of money. Stormont made the criticism last night in Provo during the first debate of this year's attorney general race. Reyes says the attorney general can't pick and choose which laws to defend. Reyes, a Republican, has served as the state's top lawman after former Attorney General John Swallow resigned last year.
