Hazelwood trial hinges on experts amid Valdez spill case
Prosecutors spent over 140000 dollars for five experts as the Hazelwood case nears its end. The defense plans to add more witnesses, including sea captains and a naval architect, to explain nautical issues while the court displays detailed maps and a scale model of the Exxon Valdez. The trial weighs rudder angles, buoyancy and engine thrust against jurors' understanding. The spill after Bligh Reef struck Prince William Sound, killing fisheries and wildlife, remains the central tragedy.
