Scordi-Bello agrees that the skull fracture could have been caused by a blow from a baseball bat or a barbell.

Now asking about the discreet linear wounds on his arm.The photo of his arm is being published.Does road rash cause this?
- not typically

Karen turns around to the defense av specialist and asks him to take the photo of John’s arm down.

Scordi-Bello says O'Keefe's arm injuries could have been caused by "road rash" but agrees with Little that this is not normally how they appear.

O'Keefe's family cannot see the large screen where the pictures are being displayed. But they can see them on the laptops at the prosecution and defense tables.

It's Elizabeth Little junior defense attorney on KR's case, I like her. You can hear her and imo juniors have to have a chance to practice some time right, I think she's doing a good job and AJ and Yanetti are giving her a go because ME is not obtuse compared with most of the other witnesses,

@BienickWCVB

Little shows another picture of bruises on O'Keefe's hands. Points out that hospital staff inserted an IV in his leg. Scordi-Bello agrees hand bruises are often defensive wounds.

Little asks if the injuries are consistent with a physical altercation. Lally objections. Judge sustains. Sidebar.

Lally asking about the photos she testified about regarding the scene. No footprints in the snow.Did Trooper Proctor provide those to you?- yesShe doesn’t not have the photos with her.Describes what was in the picture.


Sorry - Little, not Lally.Lally has made it into my spellcheck.


Can someone get punched in the face close consciousness, and fall back?-it’s possible

@BienickWCVB

Scodi-Bello agrees that O'Keefe's head injuries could be the result of a single impact or multiple impacts. Also agrees that a punch to the face could cause someone to fall back and hit their head.

Little shows Scordi-Bello the photo of O'Keefe's head and torso at the hospital. Asks about pooling of blood in the body after death.
