Waterloo, IL: Hearing today in Chris Coleman murder case

Waterloo, Ill. (KSDK) -- New developments are expected Tuesday in the Chris Coleman murder case.

Friends of Coleman's murdered wife, Sheri, are expected to testify in a Waterloo courtroom. Sheri and her two boys were found murdered in their Columbia, Illinois home in May 2009.

Prosecutors alleged Sheri made comments and sent text messages to several friends--that said among other things--that her husband Chris wanted a divorce and he beat her up.
The statements that could be damning to the defense's case.

One of the messages said: "Chris wants a divorce. He said me and my kids are in the way of his job. He told me he is leaving me for his job! But if Joyce (Meyer) finds out she will fire him. It got so bad I told Joyce."

At the time of the deaths, Chris Coleman was head of security for televangelist Joyce Meyer.

Police claim, Coleman killed his family because he was having an affair and couldn't divorce his wife because it was against Joyce Meyer Ministries policy--he would have been fired.
