Overview

• Shannon Overstreet, accused of murdering his infant daughter, Angel Overstreet, in 2021, has expressed his intention to marry a key witness in the case.
• Overstreet is currently serving time for an unrelated case and has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, including murder.
• Prosecutors fear that if the marriage takes place, the witness' testimony may become unusable due to spousal immunity and spousal privilege statutes.
• Overstreet's lawyer, Kerry Nessel, argues that it's unlikely a judge can delay a marriage.
• A hearing has been scheduled for January 23 to revisit the issue of the marriage.
