Testimony To Resume In Jackson Doctor’s Trial

The trial of the doctor charged in Michael Jackson’s death will resume Wednesday after days of delay, with jurors hearing from a leading expert on the powerful anesthetic that authorities contend killed the King of Pop.

Dr. Steven Shafer’s return to the stand on behalf of the prosecution comes after testimony was halted for three and a half court days. Time off was initially given to accommodate the Columbia University professor’s schedule, but his father died and the delay was extended.
