Killer Or Cover-Up Murder Trial
S1, EP173 "No Evidence To A Hit-And-Run"
According to the Defense's forensic pathologist, there's no evidence of John O'Keefe being fatally hit by a car. This was contrary to the State's argument on how he lost his life. The cross-examination was not over yet on Dr. Frank Sheridan. He told jurors that he had not done any autopsies on people hit by the back of a vehicle. For jurors, Karen Read's defense brought in experts in the same field as the State's experts. The goal was to challenge their testimony.
S1, EP174 "An Accident Reconstructionist"
Jurors were brought back in the topic of accident reconstruction. Karen Read's defense wanted to challenge the State's assertion that she reversed her car at over 20 miles an hour to hit her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, and then drove away leaving him to die in a snowbank. Dr. Daniel Wolfe tried to make clear to the jury that he was not hired by her lawyers. Instead, he and his team independently examined the photographic evidence of the crime scene.
S1, EP175 "Inconsistencies In The Pedestrian Collision Theory"
The expert witness on the stand testified that his firm was hired by an outside agency to analyze the damage to Karen Read's SUV which the State claimed she used to hit John O'Keefe. That third party in question was the FBI and the Justice Department. Prosecutors ad more questions for Dr. Daniel Wolfe. He told the jury that O'Keefe's injuries and the images of the defendant's car were not consistent with a collision between a pedestrian and car.
S1, EP176 "Testing Done By Biomechanic Experts"
Karen Read's lawyers brought in another biomechanics expert to testify. Her defense relied on not one, but two crash reconstructionists for its case to try to dispute the state's claim that read drove her SUV in reverse to hit John O'Keefe hard enough to knock him to the ground. Dr. Andrew Rentschler testified that his team's vehicle test showed greater damage to the taillight, compared to the damage found on the defendant's SUV.
