Olalde is accused of crashing broadside into a car driven by Mario Velasquez-Palau, 22, on the night of August 10, 2018. “His brain stem had been torn in two, completely transected,” Medical Examiner, Doctor Jennifer Rulon, testified. They showed that the sedan had been pushed into a ditch while Olalde’s SUV continued traveling down the access road. The trial is set to resume in Judge Jennifer Pena’s 290th District Court on Monday at which time defense attorneys are expected to call an accident reconstruction expert to testify.
