HOUSTON (AP) — The girlfriend of a researcher whom prosecutors say was poisoned has told jurors the man suspected a colleague, who was his lover, of the deed. But Evette Toney told a Harris County jury Tuesday that George Blumenschein chose not to tell authorities immediately for fear Dr. Ana Maria Gonzalez-Angulo might hurt him again while he recovered in a hospital.

Gonzalez-Angulo, a breast cancer doctor, is on trial on an assault charge for allegedly spiking her lover’s coffee with toxic ethylene glycol in 2013.
