Dr. Judson Welcher, a crash reconstruction expert with the forensics company Aperture LLC, was the last witness on the stand when the prosecution rested Thursday. He most notably testified that damage to Read’s SUV was “consistent with a collision” involving O’Keefe if the vehicle was moving faster than 8 mph.

Matt DiSogra, director of engineering at DeltaV, a motor vehicle accident reconstruction firm, was the first witness called by the defense. He disputed Welcher’s claims.

Read on Thursday was asked how long it would take for her lawyers to present her case. She estimated “one-and-a-half to two weeks.”

A full week of testimony is on tap to start the month of June.
