AL: Are you aware that microscopic pieces of plastic were recovered from Mr. O'Keefe's clothing?
DW: No, I don't believe so

Ugh this is just not productive. Wolfe's claims are based and formed on science alone, not characterisation, what people may or may not have said or that they went to the bar that night....jmo

Been wondering when SOC would mention the empty juror seat.

@SueNBCBoston

The jurors continue to leave the middle seat in the first row empty.
That’s the seat the most recently excused juror used.

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.

It was TOUCH DNA and Lally knows that!!!
Arghhh he makes me say bad words.
IMO

Lally rereads the disclaimer to his report.
Lally is done
Jackson up.
Now that you know about then DNA and other info, does that change your conclusion!
-no
Jackson is done.
Witness is excused.

"Absolutely not," Wolfe says when asked by Jackson if the hair and the DNA evidence change his opinion about the nature of the collision.

Jackson asks Wolfe whether any of that "Lally razzle dazzle" that he added in during cross, if it has changed his opinion, Wolfe said absolutely NOT! jmo.

Isn't it shocking that someone who's in a relationship with someone may actually touch their belongings..can't believe it

 

[Trailbum74]

I know that people are busy but I feel like we are missing some posters

I’ve been too engrossed watching the experts provide useful and constructive testimony and dismayed by Lally’s ineffectiveness to comment in realtime. I have FOMO on real facts and evidence.

@TedDanielnews

AL asks DW if he saw the video of KR backing out of JO's driveway and making contact with JO's vehicle.
He says no.

Lally then asks if the damage to KR's taillight could have been caused by an impact less than 5mph
DW: "at that speed, no"

Defense has previously said that impact "cracked" taillight but did not shatter it.

Next witness is Dr Andrew Rentschler ARCA, engineer, accident reconstructionEstablishing credentials, studies crash injuries & crash forces.

Studies kinematics.




@BienickWCVB

Next defense witness: Andrew Rentschler, an biomechanics and accident reconstruction expert with ARCCA. (He's Wolfe's co-worker.)

I hate the way Lally speeds up his sentences until they almost run together. it's off putting

Eta and now he's beginning to raise his voice/shout towards the end of his sentences. Back to mute and sub titles

And why did he stop saying “sort of” and “kind of”?!

@BienickWCVB

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%.

His answers are right on target. Because he was hired by the FBI to prove if this accident was even possible, which his team proved it wasn't.

Besides, Lally leaves out it is touch dna. JO could have touched that taillight at anytime.

Don't even get me started on the taillight pieces recovered from his clothing. There is NO evidence there was a proper investigation, like dixie cups sitting on garage floor....

 

[Wishbone]

Wait till later when they find out the FBI did. I would be sorely vexed!

If they were paying attention to lally's witnesses they could have gotten a clue.

Ryan Nagel just said he may have talked to the “feds” in May 2023. That is the first time the federal investigation has been directly referenced and it comes from a Commonwealth witness.

Court video, updates: Key witness Colin Albert testifies in Karen Read murder trial

Read is accused of backing over her Boston police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe and leaving him to die in the snow in Canton.

The defense calls Dr. Andrew Rentschler, Senior Biomechanist specializing in the study of the forces and mechanics associated with injuries to the human body at ARCCA

@KristinaRex

Rentschler studies HOW injuries happen. The amount of force and factors necessary to cause certain injuries.

Lally asking a question about what the agency that hired him gave him...if I was a juror hearing the word agency would give me a clue..

I’m a very curious person. If I was on this jury, it would frustrate me greatly to know there was outside “agency” involvement of some kind but not be allowed to know what agency and why. I wonder how this will impact the jurors.

What was Lally trying to prove here? The lighting had nothing to do with what the expert did.

@SueNBCBoston

Explains he’s not a medical doctor, gives examples of m what he works on
Jackson now asking if he was hired by the defense, the Commonwealth, didn’t know about the Karen Read trial, has not been paid or answer to the defense.
-correct
