ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Federal prosecutors will be allowed to bring up religion at the trial of the man accused of murdering a nun.
A judge decided Wednesday that in Reehalio Carroll's case, if religion couldn't get brought up in court, it would put huge gaps in the case.
Investigators say Carroll beat sister Marguerite Bartz to death in her convent in Navajo just north of Gallup back in 2009.
His lawyer wanted a judge to not allow anyone to say she was a nun or was Catholic at his trial saying that would be prejudicial in a state where a lot of people are Catholic.
