The totality of the evidence speaks volumes- I chose one test because they all show the same thing to me. Highly unlikely.-
And I believe- not sure here- The diffuser was not broken in an of Wolfe’s tests but was in KR’s taillight.
Flexibility
I have changed my mind on this case, twice. Once I got more information I adjusted to what is likely and ruled out what is unlikely. My ego is not involved, I have no need to be right, my emotions are in check. It isn’t in me to follow the pack, or jump on the bandwagon.
I get no jollies from guessing right in a case, a person died, it isn’t a game.
Trials are open to the public for review to be sure they are fair and justice is served. Is justice being served here? Not sure yet. How is science being presented- that is my interest.
The totality of the evidence doesn’t ‘prove’ anything to me. It suggests a great deal, and those suggestions are plenty for Reasonable Doubt to exist.
Prove??
Science doesn’t ‘prove’, it actually works to disprove. When you can’t disprove you are left with what is the most likely.
‘With a reasonable scientific certainty’ is what they are saying in the trial- which I don’t like at all. It assumes science has certainty. Not so. But most people don’t know that.
Don’t Know
The harder question is- What actually happened? I’m still working on that one, and haven’t landed on an answer that fits all of the evidence neatly.
Unlikely
Do I think it is possible for taillight fragments that splinter and fly in the air to align themselves in a manner to cause patterned wounds? No- not any more than I would expect dog teeth pulled out of a skull and thrown at an arm 30 mph to make patterned wounds. Highly unlikely- impossible
The force of two opposing jaws filled with attached teeth is Highly likely. IMO
Unsure
If JOK was exposed outside from 12:30 to 6AM, wouldn’t his body be colder than the 80F that was measured? I think so and cannot reconcile that info- no matter how he arrived in the snow.
The answer to this question isn’t relevant to KR’s case- so it isn’t coming up in the trial.
IMO
BBM - great point comparing flying loose teeth and flying plastic
I do think JOK’s body temp IS relevant to the case because what OJO’s was upon arrival to the hospital proves it was impossible for him to have been out there in those conditions for 5.5hrs. Impossible. So he couldn’t have been hit by KR around 12:30am. If they were trying to prove she hit him at 4am, maybe….but that’s not the case. & there’s proof she was not there at 4am.
& to ME, the science necessary to understand core body temp is MUCH easier than all these recreated car accidents, and MUCH more to the point & without gray area, therefore believable.
These accident reconstructions are just GUESSES because there’s no proof of an accident even occurring. They don’t REALLY know where the car was and what it did. Techstream and black boxes are not precise (& i believe can be tampered with). I do not trust these particular officers. Nothing they say is believable based on their proven lies and shady behavior. So I’m looking for concrete evidence.
Body temp upon arrival cannot be tampered with, unless the ER nurse flat out lied or meant to put -.08 rather than 80.
I wouldn’t say the body temp would prove anything if it was SORT OF CLOSE to what it would have been if he was out there exposed for 5.5 hours. But it was no where NEAR what body temp would be in those conditions after 5.5 hours. He would have been 32 degrees F, yet he was 80F
I REALLY hope the defense calls in a body temp “expert” - a doctor who deals with hypothermia would do. It’s really easy to understand and proves OJO was sheltered SOMEWHERE for at LEAST 3 hours.
The only way I can “force” his body temp with the theory KR hit him around 12:30 is if someone pulled him in from the lawn after impact, gave him shelter/warmth for 3 or more hours, then put him back outside on the lawn. She (if she had hit him) would have been the only person with motive to do that. The motive being try to save him without people knowing she hit him. But we KNOW she didn’t do any of this because of ring cams and her cell phone. Anyone else who brought him indoors would not have a reason to call 911 immediately because they didn’t run over him.
So where did he get warmth for at least 3 hours? Technically, it doesn’t matter to this case. Just knowing he was sheltered AT ALL is enough to prove KR didn’t hit him
And the wounds are CLEARLY dog bites IMO. The SETS of parallel lines repeating themselves all over his arm. It’s obvious it wasn’t tail light, and looks EXACTLY like the wounds of other dog attack victims as you stated earlier. The only way to force the dog bites into the theory of KR hitting him around 12:30am is if a dog bit him while he was lying on the lawn after impact, which isn’t impossible. But there’s STILL that body temp proving he wasn’t on the lawn for 5.5 hours…..
