>>>a competent defense attorney

I think we may be seeing such if there is a traffic cam video.

I would suspect Cole told his attorney he was not at the J6 location and was driving (door dash?).

Attorney found his door dash? route and searched traffic cams at intersections Cole would cross, thus the time stamped evidence of vehicle & driver.

I think that’s a logical scenario, assuming his defense attorney is actually intent on defending him.
