Insanity Debate in Hickman Case Draws Medical Experts
In Los Angeles on February 6 the Hickman murder trial featured medical testimony as Dr. Paul Bowers revised his diagnosis noting autographia rather than dermatographia. Experts Dr. Schorr and Dr. Parkin testified Hickman remained sane, while Parkin said Hickman wished to be studied as a societal specimen for crime. The prosecution prepared to rest later that week with testimony from Perry Parker, Marion Parker’s father, expected to be pivotal on Hickman’s insanity defense.
