About
Central prosecution reconstruction document. Defense argued Paul's vehicle-reversal theory was irrational conjecture and the sole factual basis for the Commonwealth's vehicle-strike claim. During Alessi's cross-examination of Welcher in Trial 2, Alessi raised the claim that Welcher relied heavily on Paul's work. Welcher said the drone image was in a folder named for Paul but was not in Paul's report, and that his Google Maps chart did not use Paul's data, although both used Google Maps.
