Televangelists Joyce Meyer's bodyguard convicted of murdering his family
WATERLOO • Christopher Coleman was convicted Thursday night of strangling his wife and two sons as part of a plan to start a new life with his mistress without sacrificing his job as bodyguard to televangelist Joyce Meyer.

Coleman, 34, looked exasperated as verdicts were read by the jury foreman about 7:35 p.m. in court in Waterloo on the second anniversary of the murders, finding him guilty of three counts of first-degree murder.

The decision came from a jury of 10 women and two men, who had stretched their deliberations into about 15 hours over two days.

Spectators waiting outside and people spilling out of downtown bars blended into a carnival atmosphere, with about 150 — most cheering — gathered under a light drizzle to watch Coleman being driven away in a sheriff's car.

1. He looked exasperated?
Oh gee......poor guy! NOT.

His family is dead, and he's exasperated.

Would divorce have cost him his job?

2. Divorce probably would have cost him that job.
But violating "Thou shalt not kill" cost him even more.

7. Well, he IS forgiven, after all....
You'd be exasperated too, if some gub'mint court wanted to elbow their way into the personal relationship you have with you Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

5. there was no physical evidence or witnesses....
lots of damning circumstantial evidence, though.

He's going to jail, so I hope that he's the guilty one.

tragic.

6. More 'News of the Sanctified Straight Marrieds'!
I sure can see why that 'Sacrament' needs to be kept pure.
