Dale Hausner

Live from the courtroom: Serial Shooter suspect Dale Hausner has chosen to stay away from his eight-count murder trial today and tomorrow, avoiding having to sit through personal and potentially damaging testimony about himself.

The decision came a day after Hausner walked out of the courtroom during testimony by his ex-wife, which included allegations of violence during their stormy 8-year marriage. The ex, Karen Ledford, also testified that Hausner told her he was attracted to men, as well as women, a revelation that clearly upset the 36-year-old serial killer suspect.

Ledford will take the stand again today. Hausner’s former roommate and alleged accomplice, Samuel Dieteman, is expected to take the stand again tomorrow.
