• holding that one spouse’s observation of the time the other arrived home was not a nonverbal confidential communication because the spouse’s time of arrival could have been observed by others outside the marriage
• vacating consecutive sentences of life plus twenty years and remanding to trial court for “resentencing that runs the term of years concurrent with [the life sentence]”
• A party must make a clear showing of \manifest necessity\ for a mistrial, and we review a trial court's denial of a 13 motion for a mistrial for an abuse of discretion
