  "description": "Day 27 was devoted entirely to voir dire of three defense experts on the central injury-causation dispute. Judge Cannone opened by ruling that the defense committed a Rule 14 discovery violation in disclosing Dr. Marie Russell six weeks into trial, but imposed voir dire rather than exclusion as the remedy. Russell, an emergency physician, testified that O'Keefe's arm wounds were consistent with a large dog attack, but drew credibility challenges over her lack of forensic pathology board certification, her self-initiated involvement after reading press coverage, and her failure to review records about the dog Chloe or UC Davis DNA testing. Accident reconstructionist Daniel Wolfe and biomechanical engineer Dr. Andrew Rentschler — both retained by the DOJ/FBI rather than either trial party — were then qualified, with Wolfe stating on the record that nothing in the reviewed materials suggested O'Keefe's skull fracture was caused by direct vehicle contact. Judge Cannone reserved all admissibility rulings, including the disputed fourth conclusion that current evidence is insufficient to determine the cause of O'Keefe's brain injuries, for Thursday.",
