Plenty of emotion Tuesday in the Marcus Wesson murder trial, much of it from the defendant himself.

What brought the man accused of nine murders, to tears?

Ruby Ortiz took the stand today and described the abuse and practices of her uncle and the father of her child who was one of the children who was murdered last year.

Marcus Wesson cried several times today as Ruby testified.

Ruby gave testimony of her when her relationship began with Marcus Wesson.

She also told the court of when he beat her when she tried to run away.

Wesson said the only way to God was through him.
