Chua jury begins deliberations

After listening to testimony since Monday, jurors began deliberations this morning in the trial of St. Marys physician Noel Chua.

Prior to sending jurors to their chambers to begin deliberations at 9:45 a.m., Judge Amanda Williams explained how the law applies in each of the 16 drug charges and the felony murder charge against Chua.

Jurors will weigh conflicting evidence and testimony in the drug overdose death of Jamie Carter III, Chua's patient and housemate.

Prosecutors claim the drugs Chua prescribed to Carter for no apparent medical reason led to the 20-year-old man's death on Dec. 15, 2005.

Defense attorneys argued Carter was suffering from chronic headaches and Chua followed medically acceptable practices when he treated his patient.

Updates of the deliberations will be posted hourly until the jury reaches a verdict at the Glynn County Courthouse in Brunswick.

Howdy! This article could not be written much better!
Going through this post reminds me of my previous roommate!
He always kept talking about this. I most certainly will send this information to him.
Fairly certain he will have a very good read. Thanks for sharing!

I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never
found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as
you did, the internet will be a lot more
useful than ever before.
