Forensic Pathology Debated In Poker Player Murder TrialEvidence Against Poker Player Marcus Bebb-Jones Called Into Question |
|
The latest news in the Marcus Bebb-Jones murder trial sees confusion surrounding a witness’ testimony.
According to the Kidderminster Shuttle, a news site local to Bebb-Jones’ previous place of residence, a debate has arisen around forensic anthropologist Dr Diane France’s testimony.
Bebb-Jones’ attorneys recently became aware of a report where France states that she believes two defects in the cranium were caused by a bullet. She, however, had previously noted the defects (in 2005) but failed to identify them as being caused by a bullet.
This has resulted in Bebb-Jones’ attorneys requesting a hearing about the validity of the skull’s forensic pathology. Judge Dan Petre has granted them more time to find a witness for this of their own.
The local news site also reported that public defenders were challenging other evidence such as that obtained by police after the incident as it is said that Bebb-Jones was interviewed without having his rights read to him. On top of this, the Brit is challenging his extradition from England.
The poker player has pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murder of his wife in 1997. He is due to go on trial on Nov. 5.
