1. I doubt she is the lynchpin in terms of testimony, given she was not among his underage conquests.

She may know something, but I doubt she is the only one to know.

2. Great. Arrest them both.

3. She can't be forced, but in time she and her sister may volunteer.

7. If she's such a critical witness, she's probably also part of a criminal conspiracy and could

be charged with crimes herself. She may not be forced to testify directly due to spousal privilege, but perhaps might be convinced to do so by circumstance. Self-interest is a potent force.

8. Joyce Alene might want to research the limitations/exceptions to that rule. n/t

9. Yeh, she's smarter than that

Don't know why she would even made that tweet. And I don't see how this really changes anything because she isn't the cooperating witness they've gotten statements from.

11. I read on a news website that spousal protection from testifying against your spouse

doesn’t protect questions about actions prior to marriage.

For what isn’t worth, I just did a quick google search and found this from a legal website www.criminal defense lawyer.com

Does spousal privilege apply to events before marriage?
The spousal communication privilege continues after a marriage ends, but it only covers confidential communications during the marriage. The court in each case ruled that there was no "communication." A privilege objection will likewise fail if either spouse fails to keep the communication confidential.
