Assistant district attorney Julia Mullen challenged the expert witness notice and qualifications, but the judge admitted the witness. Watts testified the truck’s back view could not confirm whether the passenger wore a seat belt, and questioned the vehicle’s seat belt movement since the incident. The judge ruled Oskins lacked reasonable suspicion to stop the truck, making all post stop evidence inadmissible. Mullen noted the November trial date and potential appeal option.
