Who is Bradley Caraway?

Bradley Caraway is 41 years old. He was 34 years old at the time of the collision and was discovered to be under the influence when he slammed into the car he and Moorman were riding in in the wee hours of August 2016. Authorities claimed that when cops got on the site, Moorman was the only person there. She was caught below the car after being ejected from it. Sadly, she died from her wounds.

The jury rendered a decision after more than four hours of deliberation in a four-day trial. The testimony of numerous medical examiners and police investigators was significantly weighed in the case.

The medical examiner who performed Moorman’s autopsy, Dr. Jeffrey Springer, a paramedic who responded to the accident site, and Dr. Bill Smock, a former medical examiner with expertise in medical forensics, all testified before the jury on Tuesday.

Smock’s testimony for the prosecution was crucial. Based on evidence such as window glass discovered in Caraway’s hair, and seatbelt marks indicating he was restrained and wasn’t ejected from the car, finally surviving, among other crucial facts, his research in 2016 proved Caraway was the driver.

The medical examiner who performed Moorman’s autopsy, Springer, testified that the crash-related traumatic asphyxia was the cause of death. While he frequently sees blunt force trauma as the cause of death in many automobile crash instances, Moorman’s case was different, he remarked. He also explained that the term “traumatic asphyxia” meant she died as a result of being unable to breathe after being buried under the car.
