A jury in Fargo has started deliberating the fate of a local surgeon accused of drugging and sexually assaulting his wife.

Forty-two-year-old Jon Norberg could face up to life in prison if convicted.

The attorney for 42-year-old Alonna Norberg says she was unconscious and unable to give consent because of the anesthetic propofol _ the medication that gained notoriety during the trial of the doctor who treated pop star Michael Jackson. Jon Norberg contends that his wife made up the allegations to help in a looming divorce and child custody case.
