The trial is under way this week for a Vancouver couple accused of abusing adopted twins.

Clark County prosecutors say Jeffrey and Sandra Weller imprisoned, beat and starved the boy and girl in 2011 before they were removed from the home. Jeffrey Weller also is charged with physically abusing three biological children.

The Columbian reports ( http://bit.ly/X9K2lM) the couple deny abusing the children.

The twins who are now 17 have both testified. The girl said they were fed moldy food and she was beaten with a cable-style bicycle lock.

Dr. Kim Copeland testified the girl has scars on her back and the boy had a broken bone that was never set after he said he was beaten with a board.

Copeland said both teens were malnourished but have since gained weight.
