Joshua Boyle's criminal trial heard allegations Tuesday from his estranged wife about his violent tendencies towards her before, during and after their captivity in Afghanistan, and the sordid details of their sexual lives that are now subject to charges he faces.

On the second day of her cross-examination, Caitlan Coleman talked about Boyle's increasingly unsettled state as their time as hostages wore on, and her hope the beatings she suffered in captivity would end with their release.

"I exaggerated how good Josh was before captivity and I think I wanted to -- yes, I exaggerated it out of compassion to make him sound a bit more sympathetic to his sister." She reviewed an inventory of items from Boyle's so-called "BDSM" bag -- mouse traps, ropes, clamps, blindfolds taken from Air Canada flights, dog toys used as gags, and a prescription for erectile dysfunction -- which was organized in a photo taken by police investigators.

The back-and-forth was punctuated near the end of the day when Greenspon and Coleman sparred over the details of her statement to police, and parts of the transcription Coleman disputed.
