So, it looks like we have the commonwealth's theory on intent now.
- Based on what happened during the Aruba trip, Karen has a hair-trigger temper, especially when she suspects John is cheating.
- On the night in question, Jen McCabe mentioned 'Bella's mom' when giving John directions.
- This may have set Karen off and upset her to the point where she reversed into John.
We haven't yet heard from the kids so they may have additional info to add on point 1 and how much the couple argued in general. And of course Brian Higgins will be testifying to what, if any, relationship he had with Karen. But aside from them, we're pretty much at the end of the eyewitnesses. So, I don't think there's too much more to add.
In contrast to all that, the last time anyone saw the couple together they were acting "lovey-dovey". And of course we don't even know if Karen heard Jen mention the mother. For all we know John wasn't even on speaker.
And then we'll get the clashes over the speed and manner in which she allegedly hit him and what that says about her state of mind at the time.
