Sentencing phase in Tanner Horner case to stretch longer as defense prepares to present experts
The sentencing phase for Tanner Horner — who has already pleaded guilty to killing 7‑year‑old Athena Strand — continued Tuesday without the jury as the judge worked through a lengthy list of defense expert witnesses. The process has now reached ten days, and with the defense set to begin presenting its case on Wednesday, attorneys said testimony is expected to run even longer than originally planned.
