Luetgert Trial Bones Debate Over Identity of Remains
Chicago Oct 4 The Luetgert murder trial nears its sixth week with evidence in dispute over the bones presented by the state. Three osteologists challenged the human identity of the alleged rib and temporal bone, while a sesamoid bone remains doubted as human. Veterinarians and a Northwestern anatomy professor testified, some dubbing the pieces as animal, others unable to classify them as human. The defense emphasizes inconclusive links to Mrs Luetgert and notes differences in articulations and caustic potash residues.
