Now, Alessi and Welcher, they went back and forth for a long time about this, again, almost painful. But in the end, Welcher admitted that if John's hand had hit a specific part of the car, like the exhaust pipe, the license plate cover, or even the corner of the taillight, he said that it's possible that enough force could be generated to fracture the hand.

Alessi and Welcher also argued if it were reasonable or possible for Karen's car to have either hit one of those parked cars at 34 Fairview or have driven up the lawn during this alleged backup maneuver. And again, after a lot of squabbling, Welcher eventually said it was possible, but he couldn't say for sure without knowing where the car started when doing that backup maneuver.

Then the questioning turned to John's arm injuries. Walter again said that his blue paint experiments were done at a much slower speed than the car was actually moving.

And he admitted that he doesn't know several variables that could be important, like the exact speed of the car at the time of the collision, John's exact position on the road, John's posture, and where John was relative to the car. Now, on the subject of John's position, Alessi did make a good point that I hadn't thought about until he brought it up.

Welcher said that John's body was found about seven feet into the yard at 34 Fairview, while Karen's car was obviously on the road. And the height difference between the road and the lawn, meaning, you know, the height of the curb that would separate the two, it's about four inches.

And Welcher didn't account for that when he did the injury reenactments because he was hit while he was still standing on the road flush with the car. Also, under Welcher's theory, John's arm would have to maintain some contact with the moving car for some time to create those big cuts. But he admitted that he doesn't have enough information to figure out exactly how long that contact would be.

Now, as for the injuries to John's head, Alessi took issue with Welcher's direct testimony that head injuries are the most common injuries in pedestrian collisions. Apparently, the study that Welcher used to make that claim was published 45 years ago in 1979. And to give some context to where that falls in the history of car safety, that's actually well before seatbelts were even required by law.

And according to Alessi, more modern studies show that now, with improved safety, injuries to the lower extremities are actually the most common injuries in pedestrian collisions, and we know John didn't have any of those.
