This might be a setup? By the police? I don't know this case, but this just makes me chuckle because these bastards WOULD do something like that.

It seems like either a set up or incompetence on steroids, if you get a chance to watch the troopers “expert” testimony about what her cars black box shows do so, he has an AA degree and he completed a “course” on car accidents, it was jarring

i havent heard of this case until this was posted but the associated press said this "Two expert witnesses hired by the U.S. Department of Justice during an investigation of police handling of the case testified for the defense, providing a scientific analysis for their conclusion that O’Keefe’s injuries and the physical evidence didn’t sync with the prosecution theory that he was struck and injured by Read’s 7,000-pound (3,175-kilogram) vehicle"

two expert witnesses that were originally hired by the government but ended up testifying for the defense is NOT a good look for the government's prosecution case.

What in the HELL?!? Their own experts ended up being used to testify for the defence? WOW. This case sounds like such a mess. Seriously bad look for the prosecution.

the best part is they were hired by the feds bc canton pd is being investigated by DOJ for corruption so it was an extra fuck you to the prosecutor and local law enforcement
