When they dug up Evers' body 27 yrs later was he really in almost perfect condition?
OH AND
Who the heck was that kid that was sleeping in the same room as Lucas Black right before Alec Baldwin receive the threat about the bomb, and the mother walks into the bedroom and says "they seem like they've always been brothers" or something like that?
I found this at the website for the Univeristy of Mississippi, about a presentation that Bobby DeLaughter made:
"A poignant moment in the attorney's presentation came when he showed a slide of the exhumed body of Medgar Evers, perfectly composed after being buried more than 25 years at Arlington National Cemetery. Several members of the audience shed tears, as the speaker seemed to choke back his own emotions.
The exhumation, with permission from the Evers' family, allowed a forensic pathologist's autopsy to establish a cause of death, according to the attorney. It also provided Van Evers, the youngest of the three Evers' children, the opportunity to see his father for the first time in his memory.
DeLaughter recently completed a memoir about his experience in the Beckwith case, tentatively titled Never Too Late, to be published by Scribner. His closing argument in the landmark trial is included in the volume Ladies & Gentlemen of the Jury: Greatest Closing Arguments in Modern Law, edited by Lief, Caldwell & Bycel and published by Scribner in 1998. "
I've told this story before in another board, but back in the 1960s my dad helped move a cemetery in Indiana when a dam was being put in the area. One of the coffins fell open and the woman who tumbled out was perfectly preserved, like stone. He said she had long red hair and was wearing lots of diamonds and the only blemish on her body was an ulcerous sore on her leg. The county coroner had to oversee her reburial, and my dad said they had a heck of a time finding guys who weren't afraid to touch her.
The fourth kid was the wife's son. Remember? DeLaughter had divorced his first wife, and remarried, to that second woman...and she already had a son. That was him.
shareMy husband and I watched some show several years ago and they showed photos of Medgar Evers exhumation. It's true, his body looked like he had just been prepared for burial. The person that did the embalming did a great job.
