Karen Read Trial Day 28 Recap - Defense Expert Backfires And Virtually PROVES She's GUILTY With $70K Crash Test
Day 28 of Karen Read's murder trial will go down as one of the most spectacular defense disasters in legal history. Dr. Daniel Wolfe from ARCCA walked into court expecting to save Karen Read's life with scientific evidence. Instead, he accidentally proved exactly how she allegedly killed Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe with mathematical precision that no jury will ever forget.
Wolfe spent $70,000 of Read's money conducting elaborate crash tests using dummy arms and slow-motion cameras, thinking he was building a case for innocence. The shocking twist? His lighter 9.4-pound test dummy still created damage patterns that perfectly matched the prosecution's theory at 24 miles per hour. Since John O'Keefe's actual arm weighed 11.8 pounds, the physics become even more damning for Read's defense.

But the scientific disaster was just the beginning. Prosecutor Hank Brennan systematically destroyed Wolfe's credibility by exposing his use of Signal encrypted messaging with defense attorney Alan Jackson and his admission to deleting text message evidence. Nothing screams "objective expert witness" quite like secret communications and destroyed evidence.

The courtroom atmosphere was electric as Brennan revealed that ARCCA had transitioned from being FBI contractors to paid defense witnesses while maintaining a pretense of independence. Judge Beverly Cannone's visible frustration with the defense team's "repeated violations" and ethical lapses may have telegraphed her assessment to the jury.

What makes this particularly devastating is that Wolfe admitted his methodology had no peer-reviewed scientific support and should be called "experiments" rather than validated procedures. Meanwhile, he literally recreated the crime he was trying to disprove, complete with slow-motion footage that could serve as the prosecution's closing argument.

Karen Read sat through this implosion with remarkable composure, possibly not fully grasping that her star witness had just handed prosecutors everything they needed for a murder conviction. The defense expected to create reasonable doubt but instead eliminated it with scientific precision.
