14:44Now PlayingNaomi “Nomz” Bistline took the stand in Samuel Bateman’s trial, where the self-proclaimed prophet faced state child abuse charges after girls were found in an unventilated trailer he was hauling through Arizona. Bistline, who was one of Bateman's 23 "spiritual wives,” detailed the unsafe and scorching conditions the girls were subjected to while inside the trailer.
