Interesting fact: April 1st, jury selection began, and jury deliberations most likely to begin on Friday the 13th.
“It's Only A Movie” inscription on John’s headstone
The timeline:
The defendant and John arrived in front of 34F all the way to the west side in a dark corner near a flag pole.
John got out of the Lexus, he stood by the side of the road after an argument with the defendant.
That argument, that anger fueled by heavy intoxication.
We learned from the science and the data...
The defendant in her Lexus drove away, at less 35 feet away.
She stopped and she put the Lexus in neutral… and she waited ...
She then put the Lexus in reverse…. (approx. 24 mph) and accelerated to 74% throttle (striking/sideswipe/clipping action)
The tires spun (theres a dusting of snow) and she went backwards possibly 70 ft
Vehicle strike him, he fell backwards, hit his head hard on the ground, he broke his skull, left to lay by the flag pole to die in the snow. Lying on top of his cellphone alone. John stopped moving for the last time.
Digital data showed John never entered 34F. The temperature of the phone went down from the time that the defendant KR left him at 34F which is evidence that the phone never went inside 34F. The phone stayed outside, because the phone stayed cold.
Aperture paired the Lexus data with John’s phone.
Back up maneuver 12:32:04 to 12:32:12 (does not represent backing maneuver has ended, just that the recorded data has ended)
John’s phone locked 12:32:09
Additionally, there are:
Microscopic pieces of taillight embedded in John’s clothing
Karen Clips (she’s happy to express to media about what happened, but is not interested in telling the jurors)
-- Clips (only a few, there are many more)
"He didnt look mortally wounded as far as I could see.”
“And I was looking to see him on the side of the road. I was expecting I'd find him.” "Maybe I did something.”
"I hit him, I hit him, I hit him”
5 AM phone call: Kerry, John is dead
Defense didnt even challenge the digital data.
"The data is what the data is” — Karen Read
Defense:
There was no collision
Poor police investigation failed to investigate other potential suspects
All gone by the wayside, defense has pushed, some for years:
2:27 AM google search
Third party culprit
Lost evidence
Flights of stairs
Basement theory
Missing witness instruction
And about ARCCA…
ARCCA showed that it’s absolutely possible for a Lexus taillight to break.
ARCCA: There is no evidence of a pedestrian strike.
Did the jury notice ARCCA's word choices when they spoke during testimony.
A bit of funny: Pig DNA solved: AR planted the pig DNA (ham sandwich)
As ADA Lally said yesterday defense witnesses exhibited “bias and advocacy.”
MOO
Edit: CW opening stmt
