  "description": "Day 30 opened with Judge Cannone's compromise ruling allowing Dr. Laposata to offer a single sentence that O'Keefe's arm injuries were consistent with an animal bite, but barring photographs and detailed dog bite analysis. On continued direct, Laposata testified that the absence of Wischnewski ulcers ruled out hypothermia as a cause of death and that X-rays showed no bone fractures anywhere in O'Keefe's right arm, supporting the defense's position that his injuries are inconsistent with a vehicle strike. Hank Brennan's extended cross-examination targeted Laposata's methodology — establishing that she excluded vehicle impact from her differential diagnosis before reviewing any vehicle data, speed information, or DNA evidence — and her credentials, introducing a 2005 Rhode Island audit of 1,500 incomplete reports and her departure following the Station nightclub fire. A sidebar produced a further ruling excluding text-heavy opinion slides from Dr. Rentschler's PowerPoint. Rentschler then began direct testimony, describing drop-testing that demonstrated a 15 mph tail light impact cannot produce the 1,400–1,600 pounds of force required for an occipital skull fracture, and explaining that the biomechanics of striking only the head would necessarily produce cervical spine injuries that O'Keefe did not have.",
