After a brief Direct Examination by Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, of their Accident Reconstructionist, Dr. Welcher, Cross Examination took up the whole day and will continue on Day 23. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, ross-examination was rigorous and focused on challenging the credibility, methodology, and conclusions of the Commonwealth's expert witness. Dr. Welcher was repeatedly admonished by the court for looking at his computer and searching for information during the cross-examination, rather than answering directly from memory.Alessi questioned Dr. Welchre about the significant amount his firm, Aperture, was being paid by the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office ($325,000), and the details surrounding the purchase and sale of a Lexus exemplar for testing. The defense sought to highlight potential bias due to financial incentives.Alessi challenged inconsistencies in Dr. Welchre's testimony, such as the distance the Lexus traveled in reverse during a test (initially said to be 53 feet, then 87 feet), and the explanation of the 8 mph threshold for tail light breakage.Alessi delved into Dr. Welcher's use of data and images from Trooper Paul's report, questioning the extent to which Dr. Welcher relied on that information in his analysis. There was a dispute about a drone image and other diagrams, leading to a "Voir dire" (examination outside the presence of the jury) to clarify the sources of these materials.The voir dire aimed to clarify the sources of Dr. Welcher's materials and to determine the extent to which he relied on Trooper Paul's report or other evidence. It highlighted the defense's effort to question the independence of Dr. Welcher's analysis and the Commonwealth's attempt to defend it. The voir dire concluded with plans to continue the cross-examination the following day, with the understanding that time was limited due to a juror's scheduling issue.RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

What's Really Happening in the Kohberger Case? #kohberger #idaho4case #Continuence In this episode we question why Ann Taylor Kohberger's lead defense attorney is asking for a continuence. Is it because she has not prepared enough to be ready for the start of the Trial, or is she overwhelmed by the amount of evidence. In addition it maybe a strategy move, in any event the 40 page continuence document will be considered by Judge Hippler.

Involving court delays, individual jurors questioned at sidebar, and a shift in witness order. Judge Cannone addressed the jury when they came back from the inquiry and asked them if they refrained from doing research or independent investigations. She noted that she had already asked them about discussing the case with anyone or seeing, hearing or reading information about the case. Their seats were rearranged and the court day moved forward.Dr. Aizik Wolf, a neuro brain surgeon, testified about the injuries to John O'Keefe's head, stating they were consistent with a fall backward. The doctor also clarified that other facial lacerations would not have been caused by this type of fall.Scientific evidence from Christina Hanley, a Trace Analyst, a state crime lab, analyzed the glass and plastic fragments. She linked clear and red plastic pieces from John O'Keefe's clothing to the tail light housing. Defense Attorney, Alan Jackson, presented a demonstrative exhibit showing which evidence items matched and which didn't. The ones that didn't match were collected by Trooper Michael Proctor.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/IJgD247smlQDay 19 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 20, 2025. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, continued cross examining Shanon Burgess. Questions arose regarding the accuracy of dates and timeline in the expert's analysis, with errors of 24 hours. Burgess kept saying that the event happened the night of January 29-30th when in reality is it was January 28-29th. Shanon's analysis of call logs, text streams, and vehicle data was scrutinized. There were concerns about the use of approximate times and potential confirmation bias. The expert did not have the raw data for the techstream information, he instead got it from Welcher's report. During redirect examination, Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, attempted to clarify Burgess' credentials and data interpretation. Pointing out that he didn't need that degree to perform his job and that work life balance made it a challenge to complete his degree.On Re-Cross Examination, Alessi pointed out that in a federal court filing in Texas, Burgess' resume stated he was anticipating a BGS - Bachelor of General Science in 2024. There is no Bachelor of General Science degree in Alabama and he has been pursuing this degree since 2008. The use of the Commonwealths presenting video and audio clips, especially the voicemail, appears to be related to establishing a timeline of Karen Read's movements and actions around the time of John O'Keefe's death. The defense may use it to show her actions were consistent, while the prosecution may use it to point out inconsistencies. The 12:25/12:30 timeframe she gives for John's passing may be challenged given her audio from the voicemail at 12:41AM.Later in the day, Christina Hanley, a trace analyst expert witness from the lab testified about a mechanical match on glass. The court adjourned early after sidebar discussions. We'll get back to her on Day 20.RESOURCESRetrial Day 10 - Voicemails - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2vEF0vxG2wWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/Hi_HNpRVySADay 18 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 19, 2025. Shanon Burgess, a Digital Forensic Examiner from Aperture, is witness number 35. His testimony revolves around correlating the timing of events from Karen Read's Lexus vehicle data and John O'Keefe's phone location data.Burgess provided detailed explanations of Lexus infotainment system data (Lexus clock and techstream data), key cycles, triggering events (like a three-point turn), and how this data was correlated with the data from John O'Keefe's iPhone. Time variances between the Lexus clock and the iPhone clock and the significance of these variances in relation to when O'Keefe's phone was locked.Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, strongly challenged Burgess's credibility during cross examination by highlighting discrepancies and potential misrepresentations in his CV (resume), Aperture website information, and LinkedIn profile concerning his educational background and degrees. Questions were also raised about a report Burgess submitted on May 8th, at the request of the prosecution. Burgess stated he did it on his own initiative due to the report from the Defense's expert. It was thought that he did it at the request of the prosecutor but attributed the "per your request" statement to a copy-paste error.Alessi further challenged Burgess's understanding of data storage (megabits vs. megabytes) and the completeness of data extractions from the vehicle's chips. This could significantly impact the jury's perception of Shanon's testimony and the prosecution's case. The errors and inconsistencies in his statements, reports, and qualifications raise serious questions about the reliability of his expert opinions. There's more cross examination to come on Day 19.RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/P_Lo2vXvHyMDay 17 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 16, 2025. The court addressed juror conduct issues, with a jurors making facial expressions and muttering. A stipulation was read regarding State Police troopers present at the autopsy, specifically noting Troopers Keefe and Watson were present, not Former Trooper Michael Proctor.Andre Porto, the Forensic Scientist, testimony revolved around DNA evidence found on a piece of glass and the tail light, with John O'Keefe's DNA and DNA from two unknown individuals being present. The defense strategy focused on questioning the thoroughness of the investigation and emphasizing that unknown DNA samples were not tested against other individuals of interest like Brian Higgins. Legal arguments arose regarding the chain of custody of evidence and delays in its submission. The judge ruled on objections and addressed issues related to rebuttal witnesses and ARCA expert testimony. There were discussions about new information and reports from experts causing potential time shifts and debates over whether this information was truly new or if it was previously disclosed.The day ended with testimony from Ash Vallier, a Forensic Scientist who pieced together the tail light, with discussions about which pieces fit and which did not. Some items from evidence bags were not fitting together mechanically and other items from different bags were fitting together. Defense Attorney, David Yannetti, crossed Vallier, highlighting potential issues with the chain of custody and who had access to evidence, particularly with Trooper Proctor. Trooper Michael Proctor was identified as submitting clothing evidence to the lab six weeks after the incident and the person who brought in the all of the pieces in the dash 7 series that fit together. Judge Cannone addressed concerns about new expert reports from Aperture, ruling that they were not grounds for undue surprise or prejudice but were ample ground for cross-examination by the defense. The Judge also addressed the ARCCA expert issue, allowing limited rebuttal testimony of Aperture only as to the new opinions by ARCCA from their May 7th report. The Judge stated the defense could recall witnesses under certain circumstances and addressed the long weekend break, stating it would give the defense the time they had requested.

Bryan Kohberger had a hearing on April 9th, 2025 to go over Motions in Limine. What was first thought to be a 2 day affair, was completed in 1 day because Judge Hippler runs a tight ship! The Defense and Prosecution were able to go over 25 Motions. Some were decided on the stand, others were taken under advisement. The most intense part of the hearing focused on a dispute over AT&T records.The Defense Attorney, Anne Taylor, made accusations about the Prosecution withholding evidence, leading to a strong rebuke from the judge. Judge Hipper reminded Anne Taylor that she is an "Officer of the Court" and that when he took on this case he doesn't want theatrics or accusations that aren't supported evidence about supposed bad conducts.He said that he respects all of the attorneys and the types of accusations made can get a person disbarred!

Defense Attorney, Bob Motta, Breaks Down The REAL Issues The Prosecution May Face In Convicting Lori Vallow Daybell Is Lori Vallow really about to try and out-lawyer seasoned attorneys with a jailhouse law degree and a few self-help legal guides? Defense Attorney Bob Motta returns to unpack the chaos unfolding in Lori Vallow Daybell's Arizona murder trial. The courtroom is off to a sluggish start, with first responders and early witnesses laying the foundation—while Lori awkwardly plays the role of self-represented legal eagle. Her cross-examinations? Less "courtroom drama," more "confused deposition cosplay." Despite fumbling through legal jargon like “the evidence will show” (ad nauseam), her opening wasn't a total trainwreck... until you remember she's promising to prove things that only ghosts could back up. The million-dollar question: will Lori testify? If she does, her whole rap sheet walks through the door with her—and jurors will get a front-row seat to her greatest hits. Motta breaks down the defense strategy, or lack thereof, and why Lori's “Alex was protecting Tylee from Charles” narrative might not hold water, especially with no history of abuse to back it up. Also discussed: the prosecution's decision to keep the religious zombie talk to a minimum this time around, and whether this version of the trial works better without diving into the apocalyptic fanfic that made headlines the first go-round. Is Lori just biding her time before she turns this into a full-on courtroom doomsday sermon? #LoriVallow #TrueCrimePodcast #DaybellTrial #HiddenKillers #DefenseDiaries #MurderTrial #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Defense Attorney, Bob Motta, Breaks Down The Current Chaotic State Of The Karen Read Trial Was Karen Read's legal team just publicly spanked by the judge—and still allowed to keep going? In this wild ride through the latest developments in the alleged murder case against Karen Read, defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to unpack the chaos erupting in court. From surprise motions filed mid-hearing to a judge essentially telling the defense team, “Hey, your pants are on fire,” things are heating up in ways no one quite expected. We're talking motion hearings, federal appeals, accusations of dishonesty, and a judge stern enough to make a seasoned attorney sweat through their suit. Despite it all, Karen Read stood by her team—even after a courtroom sidebar where the judge expressed serious doubts about their honesty. Why? That's just one of the many head-scratchers in this tangled legal saga. Is this courtroom drama a trainwreck in slow motion—or a calculated legal gamble? What happens when double jeopardy, courtroom candor, and federal appeals collide just days before trial? #KarenReadCase #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillersPodcast #BobMotta #CourtroomDrama #LegalChaos #DefenseDiaries Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Legality of IGG Defense: Attorney Eric Faddis on Why Kohberger's Case Is Running Out of Options Could the strongest evidence against Bryan Kohberger be the very thing his defense is desperately trying to make disappear? The prosecution is putting a heavy focus on DNA evidence—specifically, the alleged discovery of Kohberger's DNA on the knife sheath found at the crime scene. And let's be real, it's a little hard to explain how your DNA ends up on an item that just so happens to be next to four brutally murdered college students unless you were, you know, there. But Ann Taylor, his defense attorney, is going all in—challenging the validity of the evidence, calling the investigative process unconstitutional, and doing everything she can to cast doubt. The big question is: will any of it stick? Because if the judge rules against her, what's left for the defense? Could Kohberger's best bet be to strike a deal to save his own life? And if so, would prosecutors even consider it, or is this one of those cases where justice demands nothing less than the ultimate punishment? #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #DNAEvidence #DeathPenaltyDebate #JusticeForTheVictims #CrimeScene Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
