They expressed their love for one another several times a day for months.
They discussed their wedding, their honeymoon, her wedding dress and hairstyle.
But Michael Roseboro and Angela Funk never discussed the fact that both of them were married to other people.
This morning, for several hours, Cpl. James Strosser, a state police computer expert, returned to the witness stand in Lancaster County Court and continued what he began on Thursday — reading aloud e-mail exchanges between Roseboro and Funk.
Roseboro, 42, the director of the family funeral home in Denver, is currently on trial for the murder of his wife, Jan.
District Attorney Craig Stedman contends that it was Roseboro's obsession with Funk that motivated him to kill his wife on July 22, 2008, in the backyard pool of their Reinholds home.
On the morning of Jan Roseboro's murder, one of the e-mails from Funk to Roseboro read in part:
"I always wondered what it would be like to be your wife...I guess I won't have to wonder too much longer."
Jan Roseboro, 45, the mother of four children, was drowned, strangled and beaten, police said.
Defense attorney Allan Sodomsky maintains that his client is not guilty.
In his opening statement to the jury, Sodomsky acknowledged the extra-marital affair between Roseboro and Funk, but said neither discussed murdering their spouses.
Testimony is continuing today and the trial is expected to last the remainder of the month.
