Karen Read accused of backing into boyfriend and leaving him to die *MISTRIAL*

1691951367971.png

This woman didn't do this. I'd be willing to bet that someone in the house did it. Someone in the house looked up "How long will it take for somebody to die in the cold." Karen couldn't have done that search.

Is there a cover up conspiracy?

  • 10:22 a.m. Sheridan persists in his opinion, says he does not believe it's possible that this was a motor vehicle collision.
  • 10:20 a.m. Lally points out that O'Keefe had bruising on his right hand, the same hand he was seen holding the cocktail glass at the bar. Sheridan says he doesn't remember hearing about pieces of cocktail glass found with O'Keefe's DNA.
  • 10:15 a.m. "I asked about that, myself," Sheridan says about the DNA reports. But it sounds like he did not see those reports. Lally seems to be trying to indicate Sheridan was provided cherry-picked info.

  • 10:10 a.m. Sheridan says he was not aware of photos of a bite mark caused by the Alberts' dog, Chloe. Says he didn't know about the plastic pieces found in O'Keefe's clothing, nor that O'Keefe's DNA was found on taillight.
  • 10:04 a.m. Lally asks if it's normal to see animal attack injuries on one side of the body. Sheridan says he recalls a couple of cases where the injuries were limited to one part of the body.
  • 10:02 a.m. Sheridan agrees that O'Keefe had no injuries to his left arm and left leg. Sheridan says he agrees with the finding of the medical examiner and the neuropathologist who testified for the prosecution.
  • 10 a.m. Little concludes direct examination. Prosecutor Adam Lally begins cross examination of Sheridan.

Funny how he keeps mentioning the DNA, which I believe was considered only touch DNA, but conveniently didn't mention that there was no tissue or blood found on ANY of the taillight pieces, which would have to be present on some of those pieces if they are claiming that's what caused those injuries. Duh..

Touch DNA would not be unexpected. So it would take is him touching it leaning against her taillight like in removing something from the back of her vehicle from the lift gate.

  • 10:50 a.m. Wolfe says in pedestrian collisions, there is often damage to the bumper. He saw small scratches on the bumper but not enough to be consistent with a pedestrian impact.
  • 1o:42 a.m. Wolfe says he focused on the damage to the SUV while Rentschler focused on O'Keefe's injuries. Says they consulted with each other throughout their investigation.
  • 10:40 a.m. Defense attorney Alan Jackson points out that Wolfe was hired by "another agency". This agency is the Dept of Justice and the FBI. But the judge has ruled there can be no mention of the federal investigation before the jury.
  • 10:30 a.m. Next defense witness: Daniel Wolfe, director of accident reconstruction at ARCCA.
  • 10:25 a.m. Defense attorney Elizabeth Little begins re-direct questioning by handing Sheridan a picture of O'Keefe's knees.

  • 11:05 a.m. Wolfe says a collision at 24mph would have resulted in 2.5 times more damage. Says he did not see that level of damage on Read's SUV.
  • 10:58 a.m. Wolfe says they did not test the prosecution's theory in which the taillight was broken by O'Keefe's arm while holding the glass.
  • 10:57 a.m. Wolfe says they did two tests: one with the glass flying at 31mph and the other at 37mph. Says the second test did damage to the taillight consistent with the damage to Read's taillight.
  • 10:55 a.m. Wolfe says he and Rentschler did testing involving a drinking glass. Says they wanted to see if the glass was thrown at the taillight. They built an air cannon. "Yeah, it was pretty awesome," Wolfe says.

Accident reconstruction expert takes the stand​

The second defense witness of the day was Dr. Daniel Michael Wolfe, director of accident reconstruction at ARCCA, a forensic engineering consulting firm. He was interviewed last week during voir dire before Judge Beverly Cannone decided he would be allowed to testify.

He testified about how he was hired by an outside agency to analyze the damage to Read's SUV, even performing a reconstruction to determine if the vehicle hit O'Keefe and if his injuries were consistent with a vehicle strike.

Wolfe said there was no damage to the SUV that appeared consistent with a pedestrian accident.

  • 11:42 a.m. "No, I would not expect the shoe to come off," Wolfe says of an impact to the arm of a pedestrian. But agrees that in a general sense, shoes can come off in pedestrian collisions.
  • 11:37 a.m. Lally begins cross examination of Wolfe. Notes that the ARCCA team issued its report in Feb 2024 and that new info might have surfaced since.
  • 11:10 a.m. Wolfe says under the conditions described by the prosecution, he would expect to see more damage to the vehicle.

  • 12:15 p.m. Next defense witness: Andrew Rentschler, an biomechanics and accident reconstruction expert with ARCCA. (He's Wolfe's co-worker.)
  • 12:08 p.m. "Absolutely not," Wolfe says when asked by Jackson if the hair and the DNA evidence change his opinion about the nature of the collision.
  • 12:05 p.m. Wolfe says he was aware that a hair was found on the car but not aware that hair matched O'Keefe's mitochondrial DNA to more than 99%.
  • 12 p.m. Wolfe noted in his report that they would have expected to find O'Keefe's DNA on the car. Lally says his DNA was in fact found. Wolfe says he did not know that.
  • 11:50 a.m. Wolfe says they put the items used in their testing were at a temperature of 29F. Lally asks if they accounted for wind gusts in their testing. Wolfe says wind wouldn't have been a factor.

The third witness of the day was Dr. Andrew Rentschler, a biomechanical engineer and accident reconstructionist with ARCCA. Jackson began by establishing his credentials and then testified that he has not been paid by nor does he answer to the defense.

He spoke about testing that was conducted on the tail light cover from Read's SUV and looked at the overall evidence, including where O'Keefe was found and any damage sustained by the vehicle.

He said he determined in his analysis whether there was sufficient force from the broken tail light to have caused O'Keefe's injuries. He said if the SUV were going 15 mph or more, you would see upwards of 1,000 pounds of force, which would cause "significant injuries." He said the fact that O'Keefe suffered only a head injury was inconsistent with being struck by the tail light. He also said the test they conducted showed greater damage to the tail light than occurred in the Read case.

  • 12:44 p.m. Cross-examination begins
  • 12:42 p.m. Rentschler says a car hitting an arm would cause the body to spin but would likely not cause the body to be projected.
  • 12:38 p.m. Rentscher says the injuries on O'Keefe's right arm extended over 12 inches and the taillight width was only about 6 inches.
  • 12:33 p.m. Rentscher says an arm hit by a car travelling at 24mph would have caused fractures, bruises and other more significant injuries.
  • 12:32 p.m. Rentschler says the head injuries could have been caused by being knocked the ground. Says any snow on the ground would have soften the blow.
  • 12:31 p.m. "It's inconsistent for a number of reasons," Rentschler says about the possibility of a motor-vehicle collision.
  • 12:28 p.m. Rentschler says injuries to O'Keefe's head are not consistent with being struck by a vehicle. Says in that case there would like be spine and other injuries.
  • 12:29 p.m. Next defense witness: Andrew Rentschler, an biomechanics and accident reconstruction expert with ARCCA. (He's Wolfe's co-worker.)

Which is what I've been trying to explain all along that there is no way that taillight made that large/long of an injury. The taillight isn't that big.

12:38 p.m. Rentscher says the injuries on O'Keefe's right arm extended over 12 inches and the taillight width was only about 6 inches.
