UPDATE: Day 1 of truck driver Benjamin Brewer's trial is complete
A tearful testimony came from witness Tina Close as she described dealing with the emotional impact of the crash more than two years later.
“There was a semi coming behind us in our lane very fast,” Close said.
Other witnesses described seeing Brewer driving recklessly before the crash
“I tried to catch him," witness Curtis Caulder said. "I was wanting to call his company to let them know how he was driving his truck, tailgating people and driving way over the posted speed limit."
The defense tried to poke holes in Caulder’s testimony, saying his account doesn’t match his previous statements.
The case hinges on whether or not Brewer was high on meth at the time of the crash. Prosecutors say he was, but the defense says something else caused the crash.
“The most likely and sensible explanation for this accident is that Benjamin Brewer dozed off behind the wheel,” Defense Attorney Erinn O’Leary said during opening statements.
How ****** do you have to be that "I dozed off" is your best defense. Legal documents say that the scumbag had meth in his system. Hope they give the **** the needle.
