The first-degree murder trial for Anthony Robert Willier may not go ahead as planned because the defendant is experiencing medical problems.

A day after they were selected, the six-man, six-woman jury was told this morning that they'll have to wait until Friday before they can hear evidence to give Willier, 22, time to see a doctor and determine whether the trial can proceed.

Willier is charged with fatally shooting Nathan Alcide Marshall whose body was found in the front yard of a home in the 1800 block of Hemlock Street on Feb. 17 2010.
