Karen questions expert on cost and methods for crash testing defense
In Karen Read's trial for the death of her former boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, her defense team has been trying to challenge the credibility of a crash expert's testimony. The expert, Dr. Judson Welcher, stood by his findings that Read's SUV was involved in the incident. The defense focused on questioning his extensive expenditures and the consistency of his experiments, as the trial entered its final stages. Testimony revealed the expert had made recent modifications to his presentation, with some changes made in response to objections from the defense. The expert confirmed that the alterations did not significantly impact the overall document. The prosecution had agreed to pay the expert's firm over $300,000 for their services, including the cost of a Lexus SUV used in testing. Despite attempts by the defense to cast doubt on the expert's findings, the testimony continued with discussions on the methodology of the experiments conducted. The trial is expected to conclude this week, with Read facing the possibility of life in prison if found guilty of second-degree murder.
