The prosecution in People v. Oakes called Mark Stover's next-door neighbor, Stephanie Poor, to testify. Ms. Poor also worked for Mark Stover, and she saw Stover's vehicle, which she had assumed was driven by Mr. Stover, leave the driveway like a "bat-out-of-hell," which would have been very unusual for Mr. Stover.

The first witness in People v. Oakes was Mark Stover's fiancee, Teresa Vaux-Michel.

Ms. Vaux-Michel recounted her first meeting with Mark Stover, and the days prior to and after Mark Stover's death.

Gerson & Schwartz' Philip Gerson told the jury in Frazier v. Philip Morris that Phyllis Frazier started smoking at age 15, around 1960, and smoked a pack a day for 30 years, until she was diagnosed with emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in 1991. She quit smoking eight months later with the assistance of a nicotine patch.  Ms. Frazier underwent a successful lung transplant in 2003, but her body subsequently rejected the new lungs, and at the time of trial she still suffered from COPD.

Jury selection begins Monday in People v. Oakes, the criminal trial of Michiel Oakes, the alleged murderer of celebrity dog trainer T. Mark Stover in Skagit County, Washington.

Fryer, Shuster & Lester's Keith Fryer told the jury during opening statements in James Keith v. Vascular Institute of Georgia, "Jim wants his tongue back. And he wants to be able to swallow and eat like a normal human being."
