Controversial video at forefront of Karen Read trial

The last person to take the stand Friday will be the first to testify Monday -- he's a crash reconstruction expert with state police, and his testimony so far has caused some tension.

this trooper sounds like he barely graduated high school.

Officer Proctor has made me think this case should be thrown out.

[cindypridgen]

It's beyond obvious this is a cover up. I mean seriously!

[kabbystevens]

Accident reconstruction???? Did not use scene, did not compare heights to John okeefes car. Smh

[Alextriumph]

If i were the MCALBERTS, id be very very worried. You guys have opened the stable door.

[joshuaporter]

This so-called expert if it should have left a mark on a car going two miles an hour how did John not have bruises on his shoulder his back it's just his neck anywhere except for black eyes and a cut on the back of his head and scratches on his arm these guys are clowns

Really? The two women with Ms. Read indicated to her at the scene that her rear light was cracked, not broken. God hears all of these lies, and sees the unrighteousness going on with this murder case. Disgraceful.

[angstbringer]

I've backed slowly enough that it didn't damage what was behind but it did leave a tiny dent on my car. Not to mention the fact that the plastic of the light could be more fragile than the other car 🤔

[raramonty]

I have a cousin who's been in auto body for over 30 yrs who say it is possible not to have damage on the other car. Also the Officer stated no snow falling off John's car really, well heavy wet snow isn't easily moved...🤦‍♂️

[Chantico-oewn]

The trooper who served as the accident reconstruction expert was an absolute joke. I felt bad for him, but I feel worse for Karen Read.

A taillight could definitely crack from backing up into another vehicle, and without much or any other damage.

The Fed's move on can'ton an Drain the swamp

[AmysPositivePathways]

Trooper Paul is a tool. Like he had no clue. Did they make him do this or threat of being fired.

[CopsDaughter]

This is all so insulting to our intelligence. We have to put up with this? !? Even Paul’s photo of John’s car is cut off where Karen would have backed into him - but geez I guess
I’m no expert like him

[MariaM-uphe]

I lived in Europe big capital with little or not parking available. You will be surprised how in a very low parking speed you can crack a light and nothing happens to the other car.

[KO_IslandGirl]

So I wasted my entire day watching this so-called expert? Although, I did not find him credible.

[ETRoberts]

How did all those people disappear and then re-appear in the sallyport video, did they teleport?

[BrandiRose]

Ummmm that clip is absolutely NOT him answering questions during Cross. The Prosecutor is asking the question in that video. Cross did get really spicy though.

This trooper was saying that no damage occurred to Reads car when she bumped O'Keefes car as she was backing her car out of the garage at O'Keefes' home.
