There is no way that taillight damage is the same damage that Jen and Kerry saw in the early morning hours and what has been shown in photos. Not possible. That light was completely obliterated. They would have stopped and looked at that much damage.

Totally different than Kerry R's description of small piece missing!

Dear Mr Lally,
The jury doesn't care about the refractive index on the glass samples.

Agreed. Didn't they say there was just a "pinhole" of damage?

The technology to amplify human voices is over 100 years old. Why does no one in Norfolk County seem to be aware that it exists? Instead every witness has to be constantly exhorted to keep their voice up.

Starting to wonder if Auntie Bev just needs hearing aids..

So bits of clear drinking class were also recovered from the ground at 34 Fairview

Hanley uses specialized equipment to analyze samples of evidence including a machine which uses infrared light. She examined pieces of glass. There were four samples sent to the lab.

One was the drinking glass found by O'Keefe's body. Also clear pieces of glass recovered from the bumper. a third was pieces of glass from yard on Fairview, and fourth was from the road.

Lally asking about the microscopic appearance of the items.Hanley looks at color, surface, flat or curvature, and looks for characteristics of glass.

How did glass stay on the trunk while moving the car through a blizzard?
Better yet, isn’t there a video of Karen, Jen & Kerri(y?) opening the trunk of Karen’s car? I believe they said they had been looking for blankets in the trunk; right ?

She has excellent recall. An AI bot couldn't do much better.....jmo

I understand witnesses are often nervous when testifying but so far I have to say I am underwhelmed at the MSP forensic scientists presented.

This is more slow moving, numbers heavy, scientific process testimony.Witness is exacting, but slow talking and soft spoken.
