Susan McDougal’s Testimony Delayed
- Share via
Whitewater figure Susan McDougal’s testimony in her trial on charges of obstruction of justice and contempt was delayed by at least a day after her lawyers claimed that a juror was biased against her. McDougal was scheduled to take the stand in her own defense, but her appearance in a Little Rock, Ark., courtroom, was put off until today at the earliest after the judge reviewed--and rejected--the complaint against the juror. McDougal, 44, is charged with obstructing justice and criminal contempt of court for refusing to answer questions before independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr’s grand jury.
