    ELKHORN, Wis. (AP) -- Julie Jensen was found dead in her Pleasant Prairie home about nine years ago. In a trial scheduled to start tomorrow, she'll essentially get a chance to testify from the grave.

    Shortly before her 1998 death, she told police and two others she suspected her husband was trying to kill her. She gave her neighbor a letter saying if she died, her husband, Mark Jensen, should be the first suspect.

    The letter prompted legal wrangling after Mark Jensen's lawyer said admitting it into evidence would infringe on Mark's constitutional right to question his accuser.

    A judge initially agreed, but the state Supreme Court said such testimony could be used if a judge decides it was a defendants' actions that kept the witnesses from testifying.

    So the judge reversed himself and said the letter will be allowed.

    Jury selection is set to begin tomorrow, with opening statements scheduled for Monday.
