Forensic pathology and toxicology expert Dr. Michael Baden testified Wednesday in the case of 11-year-old Brent Weaver who died from a lethal dose of morphine.  Joy O'Shea Woomer, the private-duty nurse who was hired to care for the cerebral-palsy-stricken boy on the night he died,  is on trial in Lancaster County Court, and accused of homicide. 

Woomer, 50, of East Hempfield Township, PA, denies the charges and denies giving the boy any medication.  After listening to several medical experts called by the prosecution on Tuesday, the jury heard Wednesday from Baden who says he believes the fatal dose of morphine was mixed in with the child's food.
