This should read "Jurors hear about stash of pills found in Carter's room at the doctor's home".

I agree. Thank you for the court updates and true facts for those of us who can not attend.

It certainly appears that a person who was charged with caring for medical needs of others fell far short of that calling. It goes to more than just being irresponsible. It is reprehensible criminal conduct. Dr. Chua appears to be a care taker and not a care giver.

The pills were found in Jamie's room, Jamie's suitcase, Jamie's bag, on Jamie's bed. on floor by Jamie's bed, on dresser in Jamie's room, and one bottle found in den connected to Jamie's end of the house. The only bottle there prescribed to Jamie from Dr.Chua was the one he should have had that contained methadone.
