Coroner Testimony On Lambert Murder Case
Dr. John Taylor testified at the Orpet murder trial that potassium cyanide caused Lambert's death and may have been taken in crystal form. The state questioned sediment and a powder on Lambert's head, while the defense suggested a crystal form wrapped in paper. No perjury charges against Josephine Davis were confirmed, as she described Lambert as often low and attributing death to her own actions following a troubled love affair.
