BAC Bombshell Read’s Alcohol Level 2–3x Legal Limit – Hanna Knowles Full Testimony
BAC Bombshell Read’s Alcohol Level 2–3x Legal Limit – Hanna Knowles Full Testimony
Hannah Knowles brought the science—and it didn’t help Read’s defense. Her expert analysis put Karen Read’s estimated BAC between 0.14% and 0.28% at the time of the incident. That’s not “I had a glass of wine,” that’s deep into judgment-blurring territory. The defense went after her on the usual angles: how extrapolation works, time gaps, margin of error. But Knowles kept it clean and clinical. She explained the math, backed it with lab standards, and didn’t get rattled once. Net result? The jury heard that Read was drunk—possibly very drunk—when John O’Keefe ended up dead.
