If you mean his head was "crushed" by the rear wheel, it wasn't. The head injury that disabled him was very small, just a few inches, but deep enough to be penetrating. Also, his body was found 12 feet onto the lawn which doesn't fit this scenario.
As for "feeling" it, you really cannot compare a bus to a passenger vehicle.
People are different, too. That case proves that even with a higher impact (skateboard+body), two people in a bus may have not felt it. Any impact has a counter impact, this is why if you throw something on the ground from a balcony, the object may shatter, but the ground could bear imprint from the fall, too.
Which brings up a point. If JO was hit by a car and fell on the ground before it started snowing, was there any trace of his fall? Also, the way the prosecutor explains, JO should have dropped the glass, which shattered, then fallen on the glass and cut himself. Was there a broken glass under his body, pieces of it stuck in his clothes, glass in the “furrows”? What kind of glass did they have in a bar, thick or thin? With the thick one, it may not have broken, with the thin…happened in my house, surely you can find pieces afterwards. Did the blizzard cause “black ice”, then there should have been some imprints in the ice under the body.
So here, Lexus was of 2015, if I am not mistaken, an older and heavier model, in the snow, with a potentially impaired by alcohol driver suffering from a demyelinating disorder (MS mentioned by her counselor, so this we can discuss). I can imagine the situation when she was making a three-point turn, hit him and didn’t notice. Possible. Or, she didn’t but blacked out at night and her memory didn’t keep much.
I still see no answers to many investigative questions. IMHO, all PD was drunk. They may not be at fault for framing JO, but if you think…the firemen volunteer and show up at work, the ploughing man ploughs the street twice, the paramedics come…the PD is drinking. This may be functional, but problem alcoholism, and the problem Canton PD is having now should make them think. Maybe it is the problem at work indicative of a bigger issue.
From everything said about JO, I understand that he was respected in Canton for raising the kids. I doubt that anyone targeted him, although stuff happens. But I would not be surprised if no one truly knows who killed JO. Except for maybe one person, but we don’t know who it is.
