A broken taillight. A dead cop. A bombshell admission. The jury is now deliberating over whether Karen Read killed John O'Keefe.
Biomechanist Dr. Andrew Rentschler testifies as Karen Read's likely final defense witness, challenging claims she hit Boston cop John O'Keefe with her Lexus SUV.
“I don’t believe that’s consistent with the evidence and what occurred,” Rentschler replied. Rentschler was the final defense witness, just as he was during Read’s first trial last summer. After he left the stand, Jackson announced Read’s defense would rest its case subject to a final ruling on evidence.
