Some ideas.No it does not prove she hit JOK.
What else could have caused that damage? There are numerous other possibilities.
- JOK could have hit her taillight with his glass on purpose when he got out of the vehicle because they were arguing.
- She could have backed into Higgins plow since his jeep was supposed to have been there.
- Higgins could have hit her taillight with his plow without her even realizing, since I believe she was in a blackout and can't remember anything after the Waterfall but in the recesses of her mind, she recalled a plow for some reason.
- The morning rear bump into John's SUV.
Tail light.
1)Partial/minimal tail light damage as per Officer Barros (and tow truck/1 meadows vids) from backing into Higgins' jeep at 12.30am as she was leaving. Higgins' jeep parked in drive of no. 33 but road end ( solo cup supplying cop with no security camera footage for that evening, alarm bells anyone?), or parked on verge of no. 36. This does not have to be a severe impact at speed to cause the crack/missing area.
or 2) Higgins heading towards jeep parked in drive of no 33 as KR is leaving at 12.30am, launches glass at rear of Lexus as she leaves - this is the glass later found on bumper, it is from a glass Higgins was holding from 34 Fairview which of course was never matched due to non- investigation.
Reverse 1162-2.
At 12.31x seconds, Karen takes a wrong turn in her way to Meadows. Her location is within a 0.9 mile radius of 1162-1 ( the 3 point turn at 12.23x seconds). She realises, stops and backs up the 80 feet. Back on route she continues on to Meadows (dialing JOK a number of times on the way per phone records), connecting to his wifi at 12.36x seconds.
She stops in Meadows drive with engine running to make the calls as logged between c12.36 -1240am, perhaps thinking she could be driving back to Fairview to get John if he picked up, so not immediately entering the garage. .
After he doesn't pick up, she auto opens the garage and drives in, a couple more quick unanswered calls then the ignition off at 12.41?. She exits the car and enters the house.
The CW's case cannot make sense of this evidence; the state of the tail light, the state of JO's body, the location of JO's body, KR's arrival time at 1 Meadows. The CW's case fails to counter the defense's experts. Dismally. Jmo
