An expert witness from Maryland's medical examiner's office delivered graphic testimony Tuesday to jurors in a Prince George's County courtroom of how eight victims in the February 2008 street-racing crash perished along a stretch of Indian Head Highway/Route 210 in Accokeek. The testimony by Carol Allen, an assistant medical examiner whose office performed autopsy reports on the victims, also called into question whether all eight people died during the actual crash or whether some were instead killed by other vehicles leaving the scene in the ensuing pandemonium.
Tuesday marked one of the last days of court proceedings before the prosecution rests its case in the vehicular manslaughter trial against Tavon J. Taylor, 20, of Waldorf, who allegedly was involved in an illegal street race connected to the Feb. 16, 2008, crash.
