Welcher didn't know, and eventually admitted that he just assumed it was the same height it was when the car was with the police department. Now, after that painful cross-examination, the prosecution played a final interview clip from Karen's ID docuseries. I'm going to read the entire quote because I think it's important.

This is essentially the final words that the prosecution is leaving with the jury before their closing statements. In the clip, Karen says, So I thought, could I run him over? Did he try to get me as I was leaving and I didn't know it? I've always got my music blasting. It's snowing. I've got the wipers going, the heater blasting.

Did he come and hit the back of my car and I hit him in the knee and he was drunk and passed out and asphyxiated or something? And then when I hired David Iannetti, I asked him those questions. The night of January 29th, like, David, what if, I don't know, what if I ran over his foot? What if I clipped him in the knee and he passed out? Or went to care for himself and threw up and passed out?

And David said, yeah, then you would have some element of culpability. End quote. Then after that clip, we got the all-important announcement that we were all waiting for. The Commonwealth has rested their case.

After six long weeks, 38 witnesses, over 100 pieces of evidence, and who knows how many of those interview clips, the prosecution is done, except for their closing statement, of course, and if they bring back rebuttal witnesses. So what do we think of the prosecution's case overall? In my opinion, I don't think they did a great job of proving the second-degree murder charge.

I think they have very little evidence that if a collision did occur, it was intentional. Now, they did try to introduce some motive by arguing that Karen could have been jealous, you know, showing those text messages of Karen asking John if he was seeing someone else. But overall, I think very little to show murder. And I do expect the jury to vote not guilty on murder.

Then that other charge that's very rarely mentioned, that's the leaving the scene of a collision resulting in death charge. I also don't think that was very well proven because to find her guilty of that, the jury would have to find that Karen knew John was injured or killed at the time of this collision and knowingly chose not to help him. And I don't think we saw too much evidence of that.
