The prosecution is expected to rest its case today in the murder trial for a West Salem man accused of killing his wife, then staging a freak accident. More than two dozen witnesses took the stand in La Crosse last week as Todd Kendhammer’s alibi was challenged. He says a pipe fell of a truck, coming through the windshield and fatally injured his wife, Barbara. The defense is expected to take center stage this week, calling more than 40 witnesses. Defense attorneys say Kendhammer is incapable of harming his wife.
