Pregnant Juror's Crash Postpones Perez Trial

There will be no testimony on Tuesday in the corruption trial of Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez.

One of the jurors, who is pregnant, was involved in a minor car crash, according to Judge Julia Dewey. The juror needs to go in for medical tests to make sure everything is OK.

Testimony is scheduled to resume at 2 p.m. on Wednesday. 

Prosecutors have one more witness to call in the bribery case before moving on to the second phase, which is larceny by extortion pertaining to no-bid parking lot deals.
