for premeditated first-degree murder. The situation laid out by
prosecutors was a mix of religious guilt and piety, online double lives
and desperate measures. According to the prosecutors, Stephen, an
Internet technology specialist, had begun cheating on his wife using the
infidelity site, Ashley Madison. But to him, divorce was not an option.

was seeing other women but he didn’t want to divorce her because of his
position in the church,” Washington County prosecutor Jamie Kreuser
told a jury this week, the Star Tribune reported.
