Physical Evidence
Ground-Level Taillight Fragment at Scene (Exhibit 76)
Ground-level photographs of a taillight piece. O'Hara identified its location; pre-snowfall deposition was a premise in questioning, not a timing conclusion from his testimony.
About
The prosecution cited this fragment as physical evidence linking Read's vehicle to the scene. Experts who had not considered this piece before forming opinions were challenged on cross-examination, and the defense disputed the conclusions drawn from the debris field.
A taillight piece photographed at ground level, touching the surface, was documented in both standard and zoomed photographs. O'Hara identified the photograph as showing where the item was located, touching the ground; the suggestion that this was consistent with pre-snowfall deposition was a premise in questioning, not a timing conclusion from his testimony.
