Luetgert Trial Sees Defense Undercut State Bone Evidence
In Chicago on October 5 the Luetgert case shifted as the defense dropped expert testimony and called a witness to impeach state witnesses. The court debated whether Luetgert should testify, with three weeks predicted to finish the trial. Defense experts argued the bones were not human, and a real temporal bone was proposed for comparison, challenging the state’s claims and suggesting the bone could be used to produce a soap product as claimed.
