His body crumpled and his head smacked into the partition in a stall.A folding chair was brought into the bathroom, where Mr. Marshall’s wife, Charlene, Mr. Warner and court officers tended to him. Paramedics later arrived, and Mr. Marshall was rolled out on a stretcher about 12:30 p.m.
Justice A. Kirke Bartley Jr. suspended testimony for the rest of the day.

I am sorry for Marshall. We must remember he's in his mid 80's and so the trial may be taking a terrible toll on his health.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling.
ReplyDeleteI am decades younger than Mr. Marshall and I still suffer from effects including night terror attacks. I could not survive another round in the court system.
This is the kind of stress that can kill without a doubt it damages quality of life and it will shorten a person's life.
Sounds like the devil is already stalking Marshall.
