Prior to testimony by the two witnesses, Judge Amanda Williams told jurors the prosecution's intent is to "show motive, intent or source of conduct," by the defendant, Noel Chua.
The first witness, identified as "John Doe 9," testified he was a former patient of Chua's. He said he was addicted to the pain killer hydocodone prescribed by Chua and later went through drug rehabilitation for cocaine use.
During cross examination, however, defense attorney Donald Samuel showed medical records indicating only two prescriptions for hydrocodone written by Chua.
Prosecuting attorney Jackie Johnson produced records indicating the witness was prescribed hydrocodone by Chua six different times.
The witness said he was also prescribed the drug two other times by other doctors.
The witness also testified Chua offered him a job in his office and invited him to his house at Osprey Cove.
The second witness, identified as "John Doe 10," identified himself as a 19-year-old who was a former patient of Chua.
In 2004, the witness said Chua invited him to "shadow" him in his office and worked in the doctor's office for two summers. The witness said he stayed in Chua's house while working for the doctor.
The witness said he also traveled to Turkey with Chua in the summer of 2005 while he worked for the doctor. Chua paid for the trip, he said.
The relationship with Chua eventually became sexual the first summer, he testified.
But Chua refused to resume an intimate relationship with John Doe 10 the second summer he worked in the doctor's office
The bulk of the day's testimony is expected to be taken by medical experts for both the prosecution and defense.

The jury may find Dr. Chua guilty. They may find him not guilty. That is their job. The job of the District Attorney is to bring cases to trial when there is evidence that may support them. Even if the verdict is not guilty, maybe now most people will be open-mined enough to understand why this case was pursued. The evidence that Dr. Chua tried to attract two other young men to live in his home meant the DA had no choice but to bring the case when a third young man overdosed on drugs while living there. The DA would be guilty of violating his oath of office if he didn't.
hehehe...I'm just wondering if ol' Bill knew his 'good friend' was gay...and then maybe he did.Maybe that's why they were friend? Wouldn't surprise me!!
These "little boys" you are referring to are legal consenting adults. It's their business.
You know, some of these comments are not well thought of. I am not for gay folks but just because you are doesn't make you a murderer. That is the question here, correct? Also, it sounds as if John Doe 10 was mad because the second summer didn't go his way. In addition, the dates would show him to be about 16 at the time. What kind of parents did he have?
Especially when that person is a doctor!!
the 16yo was not an adult
I believe the legal age for sexual consent in GA is 16.
His being gay has nothing to do nor is the cause of Carter's death.
Its simply a mudslinging tactic.
