Trooper Joe Paul looks like even more of an idiot now.

Just when I didn't think that was possible!

Wolfe says under the conditions described by the prosecution, he would expect to see more damage to the vehicle.

Wolfe says the damage to the SUV is not consistent with striking a human head or arm.

injuries consistent with damage on tail light. I think he just doomed the case.

Thats not what I heard

Huh? I don't hear that anywhere, he said he didn't see damage consistent with an arm being struck.

Ax reconstructionist, Dr. Daniel Wolfe says there was no observable damage between the dent and the taillight on KR's Lexus and he would expected that if it struck JO's arm as indicated by Trooper Paul.

How refreshing to have a witness speak about something they are actually QUALIFIED and experienced in. The difference it makes. Lally should take notes. jmo.

 

[JenaTaoson]

Who is the last witness for today? Anyone know what they're an expert in?

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is over, Wolfe is insanely intelligent, how did the CW bring this to trial having this report

It's no picnic getting into the fbi, you'd definitely have to have some brains for starters. He's super smart

@SueNBCBoston

What is your assessment about whether the taillight damage could have been caused by OKeefe’s head?
-it’s inconsistent with the damage to the taillight

Now testifies that the body panel did not have the damage that would have been consistent with an arm hitting it.
Jackson asks what force would be needed to hit an arm & spin him around.
-the body would not be projected.

Not doomed at all.....
Infact just the opposite.

 

[Moonstrawbs]

Jackson asked whether any testing was done on whether a person who was holding the glass was struck by a vehicle.

Wolfe said they did not do that testing because there was only a small portion of the car that housed the taillight.

The damage to the back of the Lexus is confined to a 6 1/2-inch length, making the injuries to O’Keef’s arm inconsistent.

Hmmm...they should bring back Trooper Paul to solely to ask him "have you ever built a pressurized cannon?"
lol!!!

I really don't see it that way. You've lost me so agree to disagree. I watched and listened to the testimony and imo it casts massive doubt over the cw's contention.

lol!!!

what, if any, pressurized cannons have you built?

 

[Warwick7]

Trooper Pauls scientific method:
No physics, just stuff....

Wolf's scientific method:
Physics and he built the dang cannon!

 

[TIGER0822]

That one concerns me. 'injuries consistent with the damage on Reids car" that will stick with the jurors.

There was a semi amusing moment in there when Jackson asked if Wolf had received any info that JO was holding a pneumatic cannon. Judge let it pass.

It painful watching Trooper Paul...he just kept repeating the words Jackson was asking.
