Doctor's assistance leads to mistrial

URBANA – In a reversal of an earlier decision, a Champaign County judge Wednesday granted a mistrial in a medical malpractice case in which a physician witness helped a juror having a medical emergency in the courtroom.

"I'm pretty aware of what I've just done and the impact it has on everybody. I'm sorry," said Judge Michael Jones, moments after taking the bench Wednesday morning.
