Description

With Karen Read’s defense resting its case — and prosecution now saying it’s not calling a rebuttal witness — here’s what we’re expecting for the final stage of the trial beginning on Thursday and Friday. All that came after an intense day of testimony and cross-examination, with the prosecution at one point asking ARCCA biomechanist Andrew Rentschler if he had a theory about evidence being planted.

Our experts discuss why the prosecution is choosing not to call a rebuttal witness, the procedural wrinkle in the defense resting its case, the combative final cross-examination and much more.
