Case summary: Kamiya Perry suffered a catastrophic brain injury in a crash involving a 2015 Kia Forte. Her attorneys contend the lack of a seatbelt pretensioner caused her head to strike the vehicle's roof when it rolled over.   

Synopsis: Feeney introduces Dr. Daniel Toomey, a design engineer, who Feeney says will testify as to tests performed that show that a pretensioner would not have prevented the injuries Perry suffered.  

The verdict: Defense verdict.
