Wolfe–Rentschler–Kline's February 2024 report. Its conclusion that evidence could not determine the injury cause was contested; the judge noted differing wording on the cover and final pages.
About
The foundational ARCCA defense document, cited in both trials for the proposition that O'Keefe's injuries are inconsistent with a Lexus tail light strike. Prosecution used its limited materials list and supplement clause to challenge the completeness of the analysis, and Alessi cited it to show defense experts confined their opinions to consistency, not affirmative collision conclusions.
Joint expert report authored by Wolfe, Rentschler, and Kline and dated February 12, 2024, reviewing 14 categories of materials and reaching four conclusions about the biomechanics of O'Keefe's alleged vehicle contact. The fourth conclusion — that the evidence was insufficient to determine the cause of injuries — was contested, with the judge noting a phrasing discrepancy between the cover page and final page. A supplemental version was noted as prepared for the DOJ/FBI.
