About this listen
On Day 22 of the Karen Read trial, the defense launched what looked more like a desperate PR offensive than a credible legal cross-examination. Their target? Crash reconstruction expert Judson Welcher—the man who clearly laid out how Read’s Lexus SUV, in reverse at 74% throttle and 23.9 mph, aligned perfectly with the injuries found on John O’Keefe’s body.
The defense didn’t challenge the data. They couldn’t. Instead, they went after Welcher’s paycheck—suggesting his $325,000 compensation somehow invalidated the scientific conclusions. But forensic experts cost money—especially when they laser-scan the scene, replicate impact scenarios, and map injuries to vehicle geometry with precision.
Welcher testified that O’Keefe’s wounds—on his arm, hip, and head—were consistent with being struck by an SUV and falling to the frozen ground. The defense, meanwhile, continues to float its baseless conspiracy theory that O’Keefe was beaten inside the house, dumped in the snow, and that the entire Canton police and Massachusetts State Police are complicit in framing Karen Read.
Even Judge Cannone saw through the smoke. She allowed Welcher to state that the damage to the SUV and the injuries were consistent with a collision—but reminded the jury that only they can decide what happened. Which is exactly what prosecutors want: let the facts speak louder than the fiction.
The real question isn’t whether the defense can poke at Welcher’s resume. It’s whether they can explain why everything—timeline, data, injuries, and forensic logic—points to one person: Karen Read.
