Trooper Paul is your basic local police accident reconstructionist. I’m sure you’re aware police departments don’t hire PhD level physics, biomechanics etc to deploy to accident scenes.
Yes, we all agree with your observation above that the cw didn't want to investigate this death properly. They just handed it off to the local non-expert, who had no explanation for how (or even if) JOK was hit by a car. He just made up some crap, hoping it would go unchalleneged, and it was apparent.
This is sad, because I (and I suspect pretty much all of the ones here) want JOK's killer caught and punished, but we have seen enough to know the cw is clearly not pursuing the truth. It's frustrating.
The FBI even offered help to Canton, hiring the accident experts at ARCCA to use the physics of the assumed accident scene, test it, and find out if things happened as the cw was assuming -- but when they presented the results to the cw that it was not possible scientifically, did the cw embrace the help and expertise? Well, no - they tried to bury it so no one could know what the science says. That speaks volumes (and it's not good).
The fact that the FBI shared that evidence with the cw, to help them figure out what had happened, and they wanted to BURY it, tells us clearly that they have never really been in good faith pursuit of finding what happened to JOK. I don't know who did this, but it sure wasn't KR, and it's frustrating that the guilty one(s) are getting away with what they did to him. I want KR to be found not guilty because she didn't do it (scientifically, COULDN'T have done it) but also because I want the state to move forward to looking for the real killer(s) and bringing them to justice.
