Trial Continues For Debbie Bartholomew and White Funeral Home

Updated: August 14, 2008
The trial for Debbie Bartholomew continues in the Lubbock courthouse. A majority of today was spent reading deposition transcripts. Jurors will return tomorrow to continue to review this case. Debbie Bartholomew lost her mother in 2003. She says she never saw her mothers body in the casket and questions who was really buried. Former Texas Funeral Commission Investigator Earl Monreal testified that Bartholomew thought her mother was murdered at a hospital and they conducted experiments on her body. Back in 2004 White Funeral Home was fined $2,000 for embalming Bartholomews mother without the familys permission. Before leaving the courtroom the judge did instruct jurors not to watch the news tonight and to avoid local media.
