NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jurors could soon hear testimony from sportscaster Erin Andrews as well as the man who stalked her and posted nude videos of her on the Internet.
Andrews and her mother could testify as early as Monday in the $75 million civil case.
Michael David Barrett was sentenced to 2 ½ years in prison after admitting to stalking Andrews in three different cities, altering peepholes in hotel rooms and secretly recording nude videos.
Jurors are expected to hear Barrett give details about the stalking. His testimony will be via video.
The sportscaster has sued Barrett and the franchise owner and operator of a Nashville hotel. The companies say the stalker should be held responsible.
