"Trial Proceeds with Testimony from Husband of Slain Pregnant Amish Woman"
The husband of a pregnant Amish woman testified that his young children told him about the killing when he returned home, leading to the arrest of Shawn C. Cranston, who is facing multiple charges including two counts of homicide in the killing of Rebekah Byler and her unborn child. The district judge ruled there was enough evidence to send the case to trial, despite the defense's argument that prosecutors did not identify a motive or produce a murder weapon. Witnesses described seeing a red Jeep in the area that morning, and members of the Amish community filled the courtroom during the preliminary hearing.
