She was referring only to his legs not showing signs of an impact. That is not stating 'he was not hit by a car'.

Dr Scordi-Bello testified that she could not determine one way or the other how JOK died. So she ruled his Manner of Death Undetermined based on all the evidence presented to her.
Which means = JOK must be found NG of being hit by her SUV because it's undetermined based on all the evidence. Do you really expect the jury to make the determination for her when she couldn't even do it with all her expertise?
MOO

Yes I do. That is the jury's function, given the totality of the evidence which the ME did not evaluate, in totality.

Huh? She stated she examined his body and found no evidence of a vehicle collision. She went into more detail about his lower body showing no signs.

just fyi - defendants are ususally offered headphones/ear buds to listen to the side bar from the defense table but the judge would not allow that - hence you see Karen at the side bar.

She is a smart woman who is very invested and involved in her defense. I don't see how it can be offensive to anybody unless it's perceived as "uppity"/who does she thinks she is ?

If I were on trial for ANYTHING I would INSIST on hearing everything that went on, you bet ya. Agree 100%

'No evidence of a collision, on his legs' does not equal 'he was not hit by a car'.

I recently watched an interview of KR with Ted Daniels. They appeared to be in a SUV driving around Boston. I gained a much better understanding of KR through that interview. For instance, she loved working for Fidelity and would still be there if she could be. In 2020 she was told to work from home like many of us, except she never got to go back because of this trial. She seems to be a very driven individual, she stated she worked on the case every day like it was her job. Her biggest fear was the CW would get ahead of the def team, so she was steadfast in her work to just stay even with the other side. Gave me a much better understanding of KR, the person.

It definitely doesn't equal "he was hit by a car"

ETA: You remember? That thing she is on trial for?

She also didn’t state that he wasn’t run over by a snow plow. She didn’t state he wasn’t knocked down by a dog. She didn’t state he wasn’t hit in the head with a barbell and dragged into the yard.. are all of these also true? it’s hard to understand how not stating something is equivalent to stating it.

Cannone doesn’t allow speaking objections so it’s even more important Karen hears what’s being said.

She also didn't state his injuries were consistent with a sky diving accident or being fouled too hard in a basketball game so I guess those are still on the table JMO

No evidence on his arms either. You might want to rewatch the testimony. There was no site of impact.

I don't know about anyone else but I am looking forward to watching a trial where there is a non biased judge that I can respect and be proud of our judicial system. This trial has been an embarrassment.

I’d love to get a notification if the jury has a question or comes back with a verdict. I’ve got to get some work done today 😂. Is there a website where I can do that? I’ve checked CourtTv, Law & Crime, nbc10, and Boston25, but haven’t seen a spot to sign up. Thanks!
I have the Boston 25 app. I'd imagine all of the major locals would have one too. Their notifications have been timely. I'd suggest customizing the settings though, lots of weather and other news lol.
