Pharmacist testifies about Chua prescriptions

Testimony in the trial of Noel Chua, a St. Marys physician facing murder and drug charges, resumed Tuesday morning at the Glynn County Courthouse in Brunswick.

The day's first witness was Wal-Mart pharmacist Mark Mitchell, who continued his testimony from Monday afternoon.

Mitchell, on Monday, testified about filling multiple prescriptions for Jamie Carter III. Prosecutors claim Carter, 20, overdosed and died from drugs prescribed by Chua in December 2005 and the drugs were prescribed for no apparent medical reason.

Mitchell told jurors on Monday he wrote a note in his records expressing concern about the number of prescriptions written to Carter over a span of less than three months.

Mitchell was shown a photograph of pill bottles found in Chua's home the day of Carter's death and told jurors he prescribed some of the drugs found in the containers.

Prosecutor Stephen Kelley made a "demonstrative" presentation to jurors during Mitchell's testimony, where the pharmacist was shown a group of photographs on a chart of medicines admitted into evidence. All the medications shown were prescribed to Carter, Mitchell told Kelley.

Medications in the photographs included antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-constipation medication, muscle relaxers and numerous pain medications. Mitchell testified during the 25-minute presentation.

Kelley then showed Mitchell a large calendar showing the dates prescriptions were given by Chua to Carter.

Mitchell used a red magic marker to indicate the dates each drug was prescribed to Carter. Mitchell explained the minimum time it would take for Carter to finish the medication, if taken as directed

The chart showed many of the medications for pain relief were prescribed simultaneously, Mitchell testified.

Use the resources available through the Small Business Adminstration department of the
government. There are times in which email and
IM just won't convey a message, especially when working with others in different time zones, different cultural beliefs and ideals, and different languages. Instead, managers should manage more and supervise less.

With this final scene, Kingsolver reasserts the value of family-however nontraditional it may be-as
an essential and even life-saving support system for this diverse group of characters, as well as for
society in general. The person who initially wanted the real truth hidden has the most to lose but
anyone who has knowingly assisted in hiding the truth and changing
the story will also suffer to some extent. If they
know they cannot get a rise out of you they will continue
until they do, but if you change the subject they
will get the hint that you are not interested in debating.

In either case, older brides and grooms will need to decide what location makes the most
sense for the two of them, given their respective family situations,
formal marital status, and, perhaps, mobility and other considerations.
You can also place some symbols, pictures, phrases, according to
the different religion which shows your religious zeal and
faith in your traditions and rituals. You do not have to pick your flowers based on their meanings, but if
you do want that extra element to your wedding day then be sure to pick the right ones.

I cover my freshly sharpened hook with paste and coat the hair
and bait in paste. Alaska salmon fishing trip is one of the more favorite trips in Alaska.
When the water arrives at the inlet, most oxygen is
dissolved because of the abrupt transformation of water movement.

You can pick up basic equipment for very little or you can go for higher quality tackle
and spend hundreds or thousands. Here is some helpful information so you
can select a good charter boat and avoid a few of the pitfalls.

If the fish are not hitting on your main crappie jigs you may need to switch to live bait or a combination of
live and artificial baits.

There are also different shapes and sizes to play with.
If you prefer to use frozen strawberries, they work in this cake equally as
well as the fresh. Since the machines can also cut logos, letters and signs, the cake creator
can later also decorate the.
