Prosecution rests in novelist Ford murder trial
In Humboldt Tennessee the state rested its murder case against novelist Jesse Hill Ford after a defense attempt to tie town resentment to the killing of Pvt George Doaks Jr. Ford, 42, author of The Liberation of Lord Byron Jones, was to testify as the first defense witness. Fourteen witnesses testified for the prosecution about the night of November 16, 1970, when Doaks was shot while seated in a car in Ford’s driveway with a 16 year old cousin and a babysitting neighbor girl. The cousin Allie Andrews was the principal state witness. Ford’s attorney tried to show the shooting was caused by community resentment involving an affair between a white policeman and a black undertaker’s wife. Andrews testified she was babysitting when Doaks arrived and suggested they get a hamburger.
