The retrial of Karen Read involves extensive testimony from accident reconstructionist Judson Welcher, who stated that John O'Keefe's injuries were consistent with being struck by Read's SUV. The prosecution claims Read acted out of drunken rage while dropping O'Keefe off at a party, yet her defense argues she is a victim of a larger conspiracy involving law enforcement. The testimony included scrutiny of the funding for the experts and previous inconsistencies in crash testimony, highlighting the contentious nature of the case.
Welcher stated that the injuries sustained by O'Keefe were consistent with being struck by Read's SUV and then contacting a hard surface such as frozen ground.
Defense attorney Alessi highlighted that Welcher wasn’t the only expert working with the prosecution, referencing another crash expert who previously testified.
The prosecution argues that Read left O'Keefe to die after a drunken rage incident, while the defense posits a law enforcement conspiracy.
Aperture LLC has been compensated over $369,000 in total for their work on reconstructing the accident, raising questions about the motives behind the funding.
