Now, of course, this was denied, but it was pretty cool to hear Alan Jackson argue why the charges should be dropped because it was kind of like a preview to the points that we can expect to hear during the defense's case and closing arguments.
After the motion was denied, the defense called their very first witness, Matthew DeSogra, who works for the accident reconstruction firm Delta V. Now, just like Shannon Burgess and Judson Welcher, DeSogra is primarily being called for the purpose of establishing when Karen's car did that backup maneuver and how that time compares to when John's phone was last used.

And the defense was clever about this. They didn't have DeSogre really do any of his own testing or measurements or anything, but they actually had him review reports from Burgess and Welcher and point out some holes in them.

And I say that's clever because this way they don't have to actually show that DeSogre's measurements or methods or analysis are any better than Aperture's because he's using their own data. He's taking the prosecution's own reports and saying, here's what your experts didn't get right about them.

Now, to really boil down to Sogre's testimony, he took data from both of Burgess's two reports, as well as Welch's slides, and he compared or displayed every possible scenario that they came up with. Now, what do I mean by every possible scenario? Well, Aputure did the clock syncing between the Lexus and John's phone in two different ways.

They did it by looking at phone call logs and also data from a three-point turn. And then there's also this issue of the time difference between pushing the button to start the car and when the infotainment center in the car actually powers up. And there's some debate over what that delay is and how it should be accounted for when syncing the two clocks.

So basically what the SOGR did was list out every possible combination of clock syncing values that you could possibly get from either doing the phone call log method or the three point turn method, and then either considering or not considering this key on delay. And by doing that, de Sogre ends up with 30 possible values for the time difference between these two clocks.

And he argued that basically all of the 30 are equally valid. There's no scientific reason to think that one or some of these 30 are any more likely to have occurred than any others. Now, assuming that John's phone was last used at 12.32am and 9 seconds, it turns out that 25 of these 30 possible values would mean that John's phone was last used after Karen's backup maneuver.
