Legal Medicine Department experts clashed with a Plymouth medical examiner in the Barnstable Superior Court yesterday over the charge of attempted abortion on Laurel Prestat. Miss Prestat was driven, dead, to a Plymouth undertaker's last May 26.
Dr. Richard Ford, acting head of the Department, and Dr. Bruce Harold said the findings of bloodstains on the young lady's clothes were "consistent with a procedure of abortion technique."
