In Karen Read's second murder trial, jurors witnessed a crash reconstruction analysis that conflicted with earlier testimony regarding the circumstances surrounding Officer John O'Keefe's death. Read is accused of fatally hitting O'Keefe with her SUV after a night of drinking, but her defense argues that he was assaulted inside a home and left outside afterward. Testimony from Daniel Wolfe, an accident reconstruction expert, indicated that the physical evidence, including damage to Read’s vehicle and O’Keefe’s clothing, did not match the prosecution's claim of a collision. Wolfe suggested that the damage could be explained by alternative scenarios, significantly affecting the case's direction.
Wolfe stated that tests showed damage to Read's SUV was inconsistent with striking O'Keefe, suggesting alternative scenarios for the injuries he sustained.
The defense's strategy aims to establish that O'Keefe was not injured by Read's SUV, but rather by other means, undermining the prosecution's evidence against her.
