It's just my opinion. I doubt you would find my DNA on my tail light. Even less so my DNA on my wife's tail light. I would never say touch DNA on a tail light is impossible, you gave a few examples. The witness testified it could be touch DNA which is a responsible scientific answerGood post, I just have one question. What is specifically wrong with the touch DNA argument? It was my understanding that CW witness testified to it being touch DNA. What do you mean nobody touches their girlfriend's taillight? I was bringing groceries in out of my trunk, both my girlfriend and I touched the taillights. We went to a baseball game and were leaning on the back bumper and tailgating, the taillights again were touched. Where does the certainty that it's not touch DNA come from?
But throw that out- and assume none of his DNA was on the light and I could still support a guilty verdict. In fact throw out many of the things above and an incident with her car is still more reasonable than a fight and a dog bite then a coverup of a murder than didn't even need to be a murder. A stupid drunk fight would be an easy thing for a house full of police officers to explain and would have resulted in no consequences to anyone. He didn't drop dead, he would have been breathing and looked very much alive. The most likely thing is someone would have called an ambulance, not jump right to a coordinated coverup with 10 second phone calls and Google searches how long to die in cold.
To be honest though I don't want her to go to prison. I have a lot of sympathy for Karen Read. She's had a tough time. I don't think she intended to harm John and I think the sequence of events that resulted in his death were not really foreseeable by her or him. This was an accident. Should she be charged with a lesser offense- absolutely.
