Bishop

 Huntsville's most prominent murder trial in a generation could take place twice, experts say, unless attorneys for Amy Bishop and the State of Alabama resolve a dispute over who will pay for expert witnesses.

But state officials said late Friday that they may have found a fix, if medicalexperts are willing to wait on deferred payments.

The stakes are high, as prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty when trial begins in September, and a poor provision for the defense would bolster an appeal.

Bishop's attorneys are arguing that the Harvard-trained biologist, who is charged with fatally shooting three colleagues at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, is not guilty by reason of insanity.
