Legal Medicine Expert Testifies in Two Trials
Legal Medicine Department experts clashed with a Plymouth medical examiner in the Barnstable Superior Court yesterday over the charge of attempted abortion on Laurel Prestat. Miss Prestat was driven, dead, to a Plymouth undertaker's last May 26.
Dr. Richard Ford, acting head of the Department, and Dr. Bruce Harold said the findings of bloodstains on the young lady's clothes were "consistent with a procedure of abortion technique."
The Plymouth medical examiner, however, testified that the findings of the autopsy "would exclude any evidence of attempt at abortion."
From Barnstable, Ford went to the Lynn District Court to take the stand in the death case of Mrs. Mary C. Bridges.
