Sandra Birchmore case — Matthew Farwell trial: Commonwealth Confidential

Wednesday saw the culmination of the prosecution's case against Karen Read, their key crash reconstruction expert sharing his conclusion about what happened to John O'Keefe — or what the judge allowed him to share. Then, the defense began working to poke holes in the argument.

Here's what happened in a stop-start day in court, and how important our legal experts say it could prove to be when the jury considers whether to convict Read. Plus, what the expert revealed about how he obtained the replica of Read's SUV that he used in testing. You can watch the TV version of this episode — and all the others, as

It was a key day in the Karen Read murder trial as biomedical engineer Judson Welcher, a prosecution crash reconstruction expert, showed highly detailed video that illustrated what he said the data shows about Read's SUV and John O'Keefe's death — but his testimony ended with a dramatic objection over his conclusion on what happened.

We break down what the jury saw — and what they missed while out of the courtroom — as well as what the defense's addition of four new witnesses may suggest about their strategy, which will reveal itself when they soon present their case in chief.

A day of dense, scientific testimony in the Karen Read case took a dramatic turn as the defense called a prosecution expert's credentials into question — he confirmed a CV on his firm's site said he had a college degree that he hasn't gotten yet.

Our experts, attorneys Michael Coyne and Peter Tragos, said it was a damaging moment for the prosecution. Here's why, how the jury appeared to react and what it could mean for other witnesses still to be called in the case. You can watch the TV version of this episode — and all the others, as

After a day, and a week, heavy on forensic and physical evidence in the Karen Read trial, our experts had plenty of thoughts on what things like DNA found on John O'Keefe's shoe and the taillight of Read's SUV might mean to the jury — especially given how complex the science is compared to how simple TV shows can make it look.

Plus, they look at why Judge Beverly Cannone is allowing a prosecution expert to slightly change their findings over the defense's objection, who took better advantage of the evidence this week and more. You can watch the TV version of this episode — and all the others, as
