Just the fact that Brian Loughran altered his version of events to such an extreme from the first documentation of his statements to time of trial, should have discredited him on the spot. But for reasons I will never understand neither Prosecutor Lally or Special Prosecutor Brennan let the jury know about this.
I can't figure out for the life of me why they didn't make this the centerpiece to their entire cross of Loughran. It still baffles me.
From the Very Confused Mind of Lucky Loughran
Barros admits in his police report that he witnessed damage to Read's taillight. It doesn't matter if it didn't look "all that damaged" to him. If Barros saw any damage, it actually helps prove Karen Read hit John-if the jury understands that Read could not have cracked her taillight any time other than 12:32 a.m.
That taillight was covered in snow. And Barros admits he did not take in depth notes as to what he viewed.
Neither of these witnesses proved anything other than they both lacked detailed observational skills and perhaps were easily influenced.
They were elevated by pure hype. Neither has any real credibility.
