In Jackson Mississippi the Beckwith murder trial judge ruled the defense fingerprint expert not an expert but allowed a private police science consultant to testify with credibility for the jury to weigh. Cross examination showed the consultant was largely self taught and last testified on fingerprints in 1941. Defense had sought to argue the forehead scar predates the Evers case, while prosecutors link it to rifle recoil in the ambush. Charles Branch and Fred Connor testified they observed the scar two days before the shooting.
