FORMER PEDIATRICIAN ON TRIAL FOR ABUSE IN DELAWARE

A former Delaware pediatrician accused of sexually abusing scores of young patients over more than a decade goes on trial today. Earl Bradley's arrest in December 2009 prompted legislators to tighten regulations for doctors. Bradley, who faces hundreds of charges, has waived his right to a jury trial and will have his fate decided by Judge William Carpenter Jr.

The trial is expected to take only a day or two. Prosecutors say that they have graphic homemade videos of the ex-doctor abusing children. Bradley's attorneys have fought unsuccessfully to have the evidence thrown out. Defense attorneys want the trial over quickly so that they can appeal the judge's ruling that allowed the tapes as evidence.
