FARGO, N.D. (AP) _ The case of a Fargo surgeon accused of
drugging and raping his wife has reached a jury.
Dr. Jon Norberg has pleaded not guilty to gross sexual
imposition and reckless endangerment. He's accused of injecting
Alonna Norberg with the anesthetic propofol and having sex with her
against her will.
Prosecutor Gary Euren told jurors in his closing
argument Tuesday that Alonna Norberg was unconscious and did not
have the ability to give consent.
Said Euren, ``It's about Alonna Norberg being drugged with
propofol and Dr. Jon Norberg having sexual intercourse with her in
various forms. That's the case.''
Defense attorney Robert Hoy said in his closing there's no
evidence to support the state's allegations and Alonna Norberg is
not credible.
Said Hoy to jurors, ``Do you believe Alonna Norberg?''
