It is about to go to the jury. I wonder if they will come back with a verdict today.

Why this farce was allowed to even go this far is beyond me. The commonwealth admitted it can't prove a crash. The only unbiased witnesses like the plow driver clear the defendant. The only "expert" the prosecution could find testified like a drunk middle schooler.
I have no clue what went on in that house, whether the dog was involved, or what happened while her car was in the local sham of a police station. But there is zero way she should be convicted of anything here.

Opening arguments maybe. I would
not expect closing before next week.
Opening arguments were in April. Do you mean jury deliberations? I would guess verdict on Monday or Tuesday
There is no such thing as an opening argument.
Openings are statements of what the evidence will show and setting forth the party's theory of the case. Closings are arguments over the evidence that was actually admitted and why it proves the party's theory of the case. Basic trial procedure 101.

Hopefully this comes back quickly. No proof of a car crash. Extreme reasonable doubt. Not guilty on all counts

Opening statements were in April. Opening and closing arguments are when testimony is over. Sounds like I was wrong about timing tho.

You can't say karen broke her tail light in a driveway then have the defenses one witness saying the tail light had to be broken at 35-40 mph. They literally contradict themselves. She's so guilty it hurts.
Moving for a mistrial is a no-brainer when there's a non-frivolous basis to argue it. I think it would be quite rare for a judge to grant it, but it just gives opportunity for an argument on appeal.

The charging conference is tomorrow. Jury instructions and closing is Friday. Each side will have 1.5 hours each for closing. Judge Cannone laid that out after the jury was dismissed today

The defense hasn’t focused on all the shady things other people did (other than law enforcement), and they hit a home run establishing the victim was not hit by a car. The prosecutor also became so annoying and rude towards the end it had to be off-putting to the jury.
In fact, in cross examining Reschler, Brennan pushed the fact that there wasn’t enough known about a car crash to even test if there was a car crash. Not sure what he was trying to prove there but was definitely an own goal moment. What a joke

That's not what the experts testified to.
Actually, it is.

Haven't been following the 2nd trial. 24 mph seems to be really fast while driving in reverse. I'm skeptical how anyone could calculate with any precision how fast you would need to be traveling to break a tail light.
Repeat the experiment multiple times at different speeds. Record the results. Perform statistical analysis.
Cool. Sounds like I could do that in my backyard.
You need to be drunk first.
