Summary

Karen Read Trial - Judson Welcher From Aperture Direct Examination Part 2
Description:
Part 2 of Judson Welcher’s direct examination continues to unpack the forensic reconstruction of the alleged vehicle strike. Using detailed animation models and vehicle dynamics data, Welcher walks the jury deeper into the timing and mechanical behavior of Read’s Lexus SUV. The testimony focuses on acceleration patterns and reverse speed — elements that could determine whether this was an accident or something much darker.

This is the Hidden Killers podcast with Tony Bruske and continuing coverage of the case against Karen Reed.

0:13.0

Dr. Welchell, when we left off, you had given us your opinion on this slide.

0:18.2

Could we proceed to slide 35, please?

0:22.6

Slide 35?

0:23.6

I believe the next slide is 35.

0:26.6

Okay.

0:27.6

Now, when we look at this slide, I'm going to ask you to zoom in if we can start from left

0:31.6

to right, and we can identify each category as you discuss it and explain to us the importance of the columns.

0:40.3

So we already touched on this from left to right.

0:45.3

The first column is the continuous running clock.

0:51.3

Second columns where I converted it to minute and seconds. You can see we're on trigger 11622. This is the second trigger.

0:58.3

The particular boxes that are highlighted are where there's change.

1:02.7

For example, in the upper right, when you're transitioning from drive to neutral to reverse.

1:09.5

And then I already discussed this a little bit, but where the wheel is slipping, you can see you have

1:15.4

high acceleration pedal application, increase in the RPMs.

1:20.7

But when you look at the effects on the vehicle, you can see that it's accelerating less, so that's indicative of slippage of the wheels.

1:33.3

And then I simply show at the bottom the math I use to drive all that.

1:39.3

So again, we touched on most of this. It's the same slide you saw before, just to show how corrected for the speed.

1:49.5

If you could zoom in for a second,

1:50.6

I want to ask you a question about the RPM column.

1:56.1

RPM column, go ahead.

1:58.0

If you could zoom in.
