Tesla Driver Killed in Autopilot Crash Had Filmed Previous Near Miss
Tesla Motors released a statement on June 30 after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an investigation into a fatal crash involving a Model S being driven by the car's autopilot. Former Navy SEAL Joshua Brown, 40, of Canton, Ohio, was killed on May 7 in Florida when the autopilot failed to distinguish between a white tractor-trailer crossing the highway and the bright sky. Brown had published a video around one month before the fatal crash where he credited his "Tessy's" autopilot for averting a collision. The video went viral on YouTube attracting over 1.7 million views and was tweeted by Tesla founder Elon Musk. "Hands down the best car I have ever owned and use it to its full extent. It has done many, many amazing things, but this was one of the more interesting things caught on the dashcam," Brown wrote in a comment on the YouTube video published on April 5. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/article86959122.html The Associated Press interviewed the driver of the tractor-trailer involved in the May 7 crash, who said a movie was playing in the car following the crash. Bronson, Florida-based newspaper https://www.levyjournalonline.com/police-beat.html The Levy Journal reported the top of the Telsa was torn off in the crash on US 27A. This video shows the April 5 near miss captured on Brown's dashboard camera. (Footage By YouTube/Joshua Brown/Storyful via Getty Images)

This individual stated: 'it is true what has come out recently about the jury being unanimous on charges 1 and 3,'" according to a disclosure statement filed by District Attorney Michael Morrissey.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Count 1 was a charge of second-degree murder; Count 2 was a charge of manslaughter; and Count 3 was a charge of leaving the scene of an accident with injury/death.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>On July 26, "Lally received another unsolicited voicemail on his office's phoneline from this same individual who stated: 'can confirm unanimous on charges one and three, as not guilty and as of last vote 9-3 guilty on the manslaughter charges ... on the lower-level manslaughter charges,'" according to Morrissey.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Prosecutors also received emails from three individuals who identified themselves as jurors wishing to speak anonymously. The state said it responded to the emails by saying they "welcome the opportunity to discuss the evidence or the Commonwealth's case, however we are ethically prohibited from inquiring as to the substance of your jury deliberations. That would include your individual or the jury's collective thought process, the content of your deliberations, or the reasons for your decisions," and the state could not "promise confidentiality."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Morrissey said the three jurors have not been in communication since.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The disclosure of the voicemails and emails comes after Read's defense team said in a motion to dismiss and affidavits that they had heard from one juror and two other informants who said the panel agreed Read was not guilty of two of the three charges. The defense did not identify the sources of their alleged information about the jury.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Defense Attorney Alan Jackson said four deliberating jurors had reached out to his office after the mistrial, one, dubbed Juror D, saying they were uncomfortable with how the trial ended.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"He/she said that the last day of the trail was a whirlwind and everything happened fast. He/she recounted that his/her perspective was that the jury was brought in the courtroom, the note was read, the mistrial was declared, and the jury was then rushed out of the courtroom," Jackson wrote in an affidavit in July. "He/she described the end of the trial as very confusing."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The jury believed that they were compelled to come to a resolution on all counts before they could or should report verdicts on any of the counts, Jackson wrote.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Juror D reiterated that he/she believes that it would be unjust for Karen Read to be re-tried on either Count 1 (second-degree murder) or Count 3 (leaving the scene with injury/death) because the jury has already unanimously found her not guilty of those charges, Jackson wrote.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Read, 44, of Mansfield, is accused of hitting O'Keefe with her black SUV outside of a home at 34 Fairview Road in Canton on Jan. 29, 2022, following a night of drinking. Her defense contended that OKeefe, a Boston police officer, was dragged outside after he was beaten up in the basement and bitten by a dog at fellow Boston officer Brian Alberts home in Canton.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Read, a former adjunct professor at Bentley University, faced charges of second-degree murder, which carries a maximum penalty of life in prison, along with manslaughter while operating under the influence of alcohol and leaving a scene of personal injury and death.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The Norfolk County District Attorney's Office said it planned to retry Read.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Station Notes/Scripts:</p>\n<p>TRACK: </p>\n<p></p>
