On Friday, the first day of Read’s defense, the jury heard from a vehicle data expert and accident reconstructionist who examined the findings of a pair of prosecution experts. The defense will call its next witness when the trial resumes at 9 a.m. Monday.

Prosecutors rested their case after Dr. Judson Welcher, a crash reconstructionist expert with Aperture LLC, was dismissed from the stand after three days. He most notably testified to the prosecution that damage to Read’s SUV was “consistent with a collision” involving O’Keefe if the vehicle was moving faster than 8 mph.
