Coleman mistress expected to testify this afternoon at Coleman trial. #colemantrial #stl
Didn't know where to put this.
I hope someone describes the reaction these two have to one another.
What will Chris be thinking? I wish the pictures of his murdered children could be placed right along side Tara as she testifies...so he could not look at her without seeing the horror of what he did.
Was she worth it, Chris?

Coleman told investigators that he was taking Lintz with him on business trips. He said he asked his father, the Rev. Ron Coleman, to call Lintz that morning -- May 5, 2009 -- and tell her what had happened. Coleman told police he had sent her a text message in the few hours that had elapsed since his wife and children were found strangled in their beds.
Read more: http://www.bnd.com/2011/04/28/1687525/coleman-sent-nude-photos-using.html#ixzz1Koa4Yd7U
I thought Coleman had said previously that he did not want his Father to know.
Why would he call him immediately after his family is slaughtered....and instead of saying "Daddy Pastor, call Sheri's family....call her Mom and brother. Break it to them..pray with them."
Instead he asks Daddy Pastor to call a Dog Track waitress in Florida?????
Huh?
Didn't it take a few days before Sheri's family heard anything from the Coleman's?
And we are to believe that this great Church family knew NOTHING of the affair and would feel no moral obligation or human decency to contact the OTHER grandparents before they console a Dog Track waitress who exchanges pictures of "body parts" with their son?
This is about as outrageous as it comes. I hope they rub this in their faces in closing arguments.

If she still has feelings for Chris, then she's an idiot. Actually, I'm thinking she fears for her life. After all, if Brad Coleman can threaten to kill a US Marshall, I doubt he'd have a problem threatening Miss Motive. (And possibly already has.)

I think she's reluctant because her selfishness has been exposed and now she has to face the people she has wronged. And she has wronged Sheri's family and friends by her deeds.

Just rewatched Mr. Mirabelli speak of the betrayal Sheri's Mom and brother felt when the learned of the betrayal by "this young lady"...a "friend of the family."
Today they will learn the real depravity of that betrayal and Tara will sit there in front of them as its exposed.

It sure is quiet today. I thought twitter would be tweeting out the wazoo.... We need information!! And I hope someone takes a picture of Miss Motive - I want to see the person for whom Chris felt was worth murdering his entire family.
I agree, Wrinkles - there is no "alleged" in Chris/Tara affair. He admits it, daddy Ron admits it, Tara admits it, Sheri knew it as did her friends, the police knew it because both Chris and Tara confirmed it. And although Chris says having sex with a woman and sexting with a woman is NOT an affair (HUH?), they do have sex videos of he and Tara confirming the affair. I have to wonder what he does with a woman he is having an affair with? :waitasec:

Been perusing the old threads about this case... SuziQ called this one within hours:
I hate to go here so soon, but IMO, the letters and spray painting on the wall seem so...staged, like out of a movie. Now IF the cameras show something different I'll take that back. But it wouldn't shock me to find out that the cameras were conveniently not working.
Also, at one of the above links, it's stated that the Coleman's repeatedly tried to sell the home, were having financial problems and that Chris' wife's name was removed from the mortgage. I wonder what was behind that?

That's a very good question! Is cross of the video interrogation really required? You have testimony out of CCs mouth, everything is recorded, there is no need for confirmations or denials of what is on that tape. I wonder if he's asking a bunch of questions about the months leading up to the murders, the threatening letters, the cameras installed, what Barlow's initial thoughts were on the threats, Barlow's relationship (if any, I gather there really wasn't a relationship) with CC, Sheri & the boys. I want some new info!!!

Catching up on reading, but just read the article here: (http://www.bnd.com/2011/04/28/1687525/coleman-sent-nude-photos-using.html#ixzz1Koa4Yd7U)
>>Coleman told investigators that he was taking Lintz with him on business trips. He said he asked his father, the Rev. Ron Coleman, to call Lintz that morning -- May 5, 2009 -- and tell her what had happened. Coleman told police he had sent her a text message in the few hours that had elapsed since his wife and children were found strangled in their beds.
Coleman insisted Sheri Coleman did not know about his relationship with her childhood friend. Chris Coleman took a trip to Florida in January, and before he left, Sheri Coleman told her husband to "stay away" from Lintz.
"She gets a little jealous sometimes," Coleman told the investigators.<<
Thinking about the above... So his wife, one who he says he is getting along better with, gets murdered. He is so distraught, in deep grief, he calls his dad and asks him to call some woman with whom he is only friends, one his "now deceased" wife has told him to stay away from -- knowing that she gets a little jealous -- and this is what a man who is grieving the sudden loss/murder of his wife? That's some kind of respect for someone you love -- oh and he only told Tara that (about marriage). He's got a respect thing for women, eh?

So assuming it's Brad (how can it not be with the video mentioned), why would he call the insurance company 14 times and in what time frame did he do this? After CC was arrested? I can't see it happening before the arrest, but I can see it after the arrest to pay for the high prices of Margulis & Co. I don't recall, but did they ever receive a payout at all? Lord I hope not!

Tell me Chris, if Brad did this was he also driving the mysterious fictional car that you had to slow down for backing out of your driveway, even though you pulled forward? Did Brad know he was going to be a pawn and/or thrown under the bus? So is Brad now going to be a witness? And will that be for the defense? Or the prosecution?

This is too funny... The defense is reading WS. They saw the deer video stuff we wrote about over the last few days and now they are trying to toss the brother in as some shadow of doubt that their boy did it by pointing the finger at another Coleman member.
You can be that the brother was checked out when the deer video was mentioned long ago.

"Defense attorney Jim Stern's questioning of Barlow brought out a defense theory that Chris Coleman's brother, Keith, could be a suspect in the murders. Keith Coleman, who lives in Arkansas, sent his brother two strangulation videos, one of a dog and another in which a dying deer is strangled.

And now we have confirmation of 11/5/08 as the start of the affair/when Tara changed his life/when he started thinking about killing his family. And confirmed in Tampa with JMM for the conference November 6-8. I wonder if this was when Sheri asked if Chris could stay with Tara, or when she told Chris to stay away from her. Because he was also back in Florida in February to Orlando, but that's only 1 1/2 hours away from Tampa.

On the witness stand, Lintz answered questions tersely and briefly. She admitted the sexual affair but she said did not remember the sex tape they made in Hawaii.
She said they did discuss a divorce for Coleman, and that it was her understanding that he was going to file for divorce May 4, 2009. The day was later moved to May 5 — the day Chrisotopher Coleman's wife and children were found dead.
Lintz said she and Christopher Coleman regularly texted each other, including the night before the murders.
Under cross-examination by defense lawyer William Margulis, Lintz said she was aware of threatening letters the Coleman family had received.

Lintz said she and Christopher Coleman regularly texted each other, including the night before the murders. How often did they communicate, Reitz asked.
"All the time," she said. "Constantly."
She said Coleman told her he would serve divorce papers on May 4, 2009, but later told her a typo meant it would be moved back a day to May 5.
That ended up being the day Coleman's wife and children were found dead.
Lintz's answers were in a matter-of-fact, even tone. No one asked if she had any inkling that the relationship might turn to murder. At one point, Reitz asked whether they were planning on getting married.
"The divorce had to happen first," she replied.
Reitz did not press her further.
She said she does not remember making a sex video with Coleman in Hawaii. The video was described to the jury by a police officer just before her testimony. When Reitz asked if they had had sex in Arizona, she answered, "That's questionable, but probably."
She testified that she was unhappy that Coleman planned a trip to Disney World with his family for July 2009, and told him she didn't want him to go. She said Coleman told her he cancelled it but that Sheri Coleman had rescheduled it for that fall. Lintz said she posed as Sheri Coleman in a call to Disney World to check.

Seriously, I want to vomit.
Ok, this cocktail waitress has me absolutely disgusted!! I am at a loss for words! This case if like the never-ending case of evidence against the perp. At this point, I am not sure how anyone, including his own mother, could believe he is innocent!!

Lintz said she and Christopher Coleman regularly texted each other, including the night before the murders. How often did they communicate, Reitz asked.
"All the time," she said. "Constantly."
She said Coleman told her he would serve divorce papers on May 4, 2009, but later told her a typo meant it would be moved back a day to May 5.
That ended up being the day Coleman's wife and children were found dead.
Lintz's answers were in a matter-of-fact, even tone. No one asked if she had any inkling that the relationship might turn to murder. At one point, Reitz asked whether they were planning on getting married.
"The divorce had to happen first," she replied.
Reitz did not press her further.
She said she does not remember making a sex video with Coleman in Hawaii. The video was described to the jury by a police officer just before her testimony. When Reitz asked if they had had sex in Arizona, she answered, "That's questionable, but probably."
She testified that she was unhappy that Coleman planned a trip to Disney World with his family for July 2009, and told him she didn't want him to go. She said Coleman told her he cancelled it but that Sheri Coleman had rescheduled it for that fall. Lintz said she posed as Sheri Coleman in a call to Disney World to check.

Lintz was friends with Sheri Coleman in high school. She (Lintz) first met Chris Coleman at a Joyce Meyer event in Florida, after Sheri recommended she go watch.

She said she often met him on trips he too for JMM and that she stayed in his hotel. SHe also said that her brother Keith sent her sexts.

In court Thursday, Lintz testified that she had been having an ongoing affair with Chris Coleman. The two would meet up whenever he traveled for work with Joyce Meyer Ministries. Lintz said the two planned on getting married, and they had even bought promise rings, which they would wear when together. Lintz wore her promise ring to court.
"Lintz was friends with Sheri Coleman in high school. She (Lintz) first met Chris Coleman at a Joyce Meyer event in Florida, after Sheri recommended she go watch.
Lintz said she had not spoken with Chris Coleman since May 2009."
snip
Prosecutors displayed some of the nude pictures Coleman and Lintz exchanged, with the private parts blacked out for the jury. Coleman's family looked away when these images were shown.
Webcam videos that Coleman sent Lintz were shown next. He was exposing himself in both and in one video was naked in the shower.

Creepy. Was he role playing or is this the real him? What a catch.
Sheri and Chris were very young when they married. I have no idea about the Coleman's famiy's view on sex but I would guess they were not "avant guard."
I'm guessing that Chris was "inexperienced" and conventional. I doubt he had ever met anyone like Tara.
I'm betting the life Tara lived was anything but conventional...in gentleman's clubs and at the Dog Track. I bet she was PLENTY experienced in ways Chris could only have imagined. This is why he says his "life began" with Tara..probably when she took him to bed.
He says he had never sexted before. I believe him. How thrilling this new woman was. How could the devout Christian wife who had only known HIM compete?
He sounds childish in the video IMO...because he was SO inexperienced. Probably wasn't quite sure what exactly to do....what to say. But this was what Tara was teaching him. He is as inexperienced as a young teen... playacting.
I think this is what the reporter meant.

It was the first time they'd seen each other since before Coleman's wife and two young sons were found strangled on May 5, 2009. Coleman watched Lintz throughout her testimony. Lintz only looked at Coleman when the prosecutor asked her to identify the defendant.
Coleman made a computer entry marking Nov. 5, 2008, as "the day Tara changed my life." They met in Orlando when Coleman's boss, televangelist Joyce Meyer, was leaving for a cruise.

I just don't know what to say. I am even more disgusted and horrified than I have ever been in the last two years. I cannot believe the nerve of that woman to walk into court wearing a ring the defendant gave her! Does she have no empathy for her former best friend or her children? Does she not realize that her deed of bedding her former best friends husband, sexting him, traveling with him, giving ULTIMATUMS (Disney Trip - she didn't want him to go to the Happiest Place on Earth with his children???? Selfish!) and stealing him from her and her children are why we are all following this trial today? She has just as much blood on her hands as Chris IMO. How much pressuring did she put on CC to divorce Sheri? I'm not excusing CC, there is no excuse EVER for what he did... but I believe her actions play a bigger role in this entire thing than I ever dreamed before today. I'm disgusted.

Prior to her testimony, during one video played to a computer expert in court (but not shown to the jury), the expert described a video shot in Hawaii of a naked Coleman prancing around a hotel room and panning over to a naked Lintz on the bed. At one point in this video, Coleman says "There's the shower we had sex in the other day."
snip
Under defense questioning, attorney Bill Margulis asked if Lintz had been aware of threat letters received by the Coleman family, to which she said she was. He then asked if police had requested handwriting samples of Lintz; she said no.
The defense also asked if Lintz had access to any of Coleman's computers. She said yes, but "could never remember his passwords. I always had to ask."
Lintz also admitted that Sheri's brother, Mario Weiss, had posted something to the effect of "marry me" to her on a social networking website. The defense also got Lintz to confirm that one of Coleman's brothers, Keith, had sent her explicit photos, and that she went on a cruise with another man during this six-month affair with Coleman.

That's exactly what I think - unless they had "code" words established between them. Divorce = murder.

It bothers me that it seems like a smear on Sheri's brother. Sheri never confided in her family about Chris. I posted that video from Nancy Grace where her Uncle speaks of their feeling of shock...and betrayal learning it was Tara.
So while the affair was going on, Sheri's brother would have no reason not to flirt with her. He had no idea that Tara was "attached"...least of all to his sister's husband.
That's a far cry from the other Coleman brother sexting her. What a family that is!

Tara strikes me as your typical "loose woman" and I think Sherri knew exactly what she was. That's why she instructed her husband to stay away from her. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that Tara had sexual relationships or wanted one with Keith, Mario, and many others we haven't heard about. She obviously had a reputation. I think she had no scruples whatsoever about bedding her friend's husband. She probably likes the thrill of men lusting after her and the thrill of having something Sherri had was probably an added bonus. She also took full advantage of everything Chris Coleman had to offer her and I wonder just how long she would have stayed with him if he would have divorced Sherri. My guess is not long. Maybe until some other schmuck came along who could give her more. I, once, had a friend, and I use that term loosely, like her. She would just suck people empty then move on. She also enjoyed having whatever someone else had, only for the thrill of the catch, then she got bored and moved on.
I'm not sure if she ever thought that he would kill his family, but I don't think it's a really big deal to her either. Although, I did have one thought that since she is a prosecution witness, maybe they had her wear the ring to show just how involved the relationship was. Other than that, I think she is what she is and it's no church girl.

I find it a little hard to believe that Mario would have seriously asked Tara to marry him. I can see him responding with that in a joking manner, but not seriously. But, I can't think who might have hacked into his account and sent the message pretending to be him. I'm not sure anyone would have benefitted from it. I sure hope Mario is on the stand at some point to verify. Also Keith. And I believe Keith would have sexted with her.

TL is just as delusional as CC, IMO. After two years, and so much evidence to come out pointing directly at him... you would think she has seen the light by now. But no... still wearing that cheap "mood ring" on her thumb that he gave her as a promise ring. I swear they are both 12 mentally... promise ring? Who does that other than middle schoolers/young high school students.
We already knew so much of this, but having all the I's dotted & T's crossed is making me ill... they were both so deep in deceiving Sheri and wrecking that family. Yet she's not ashamed AT ALL!!! Whoever termed it defiant is absolutely 100% correct. I hope they can charge TL with something... forgery?!? Hope that quit claim deed comes into play... yet with her off the stand and back in FL, doubt it :(
