Karen Read accused of backing into boyfriend and leaving him to die *MISTRIAL*

This woman didn't do this. I'd be willing to bet that someone in the house did it. Someone in the house looked up "How long will it take for somebody to die in the cold." Karen couldn't have done that search.

Is there a cover up conspiracy?

Needham Police Sgt. Brian Gallerani testifies​

Shortly before 12:30 p.m., Needham Police Sgt. Brian Gallerani took the stand. Prior to being promoted to sergeant, he had worked as a detective for the Needham Police Department and is certified in collecting cheek swabs for DNA analysis.

He testified that he collected swabs on Jan. 16, 2024, in connection with the O'Keefe case. He said he went to the Norfolk District Attorney's Office and collected samples from state police Sgt. Yuriy Bukhenik and trooper Michael Proctor.

The defense had no questions and Gallerani was dismissed after only a few minutes of testimony.

DNA analyst Nicholas Bradford testifies​

The third witness of the day was DNA analyst Nicholas Bradford with Bode Technology.

DNA analyst Nicholas Bradford testifies​

The third witness of the day was DNA analyst Nicholas Bradford with Bode Technology.

He testified that in January of 2024, he was tasked with analyzing a number of items he had received from Massachusetts. The items included an apparent hair labeled as "passenger side tail light," an extract from a tail light from a vehicle and two reference samples from two troopers from the Massachusetts State Police -- Bukhenik and Proctor.

He said he was also provided with a profile of O'Keefe's DNA by Massachusetts State Police for comparison purposes.

Bradford said the tests on the tail light showed strong support for inclusion of O'Keefe's DNA and strong support for exclusion of Bukhenik and Proctor's DNA samples.

Lally then asked Bradford about the hair, and went over how DNA is extracted from the hair and tested. He said the hair was tested by another analyst, however, because he was not trained in that specific test.

The defense team had no questions for Bradford, and court took a recess shortly before 1 p.m. for lunch.

The first witness after the lunch break was DNA analyst Tess Chart, also with Bode Technology.

She testified that hair she analyzed from the scene was consistent with O'Keefe's DNA.

The defense team had no questions for Chart either.

Really long sidebar after MSP Data Analyst Porto testified. Defense again had no questions. Judge has dismissed jurors for the day.

Next on the stand was Andre Porto, of the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab, who also analyzed hair from the taillight, and other evidence.

Much of the evidence he analyzed, including a piece of broken drinking glass found on the back bumper of Read's SUV and a stain from O'Keefe's jeans, matched O'Keefe's DNA profile, Porto testified.

There was other DNA evidence that was analyzed at Porto's lab but which couldn't generate a profile, the technician testified.

Again, the defense had no questions for the expert.

After Porto was dismissed, Judge Beverly Cannone ended the day in court, telling the jurors that they were on schedule and that they could enjoy the beautiful weather.

Friday is another full of testimony day in Norfolk Superior Court.

 

[Cousin Dupree]

I missed some of the testimony, so it's cool that CourtTV is far behind. I can watch what I missed. From What Summer is posting, it doesn't sound like I missed much.

I do have a couple of questions, though. It requires information I don't have right now. First is how tall was O'Keefe, second is how tall is Read's SUV? Is it even possible for a hair to get into the rear headlight on her SUV? Why only one.

I also heard something yesterday that really made me take notice. Supposedly, O'Keefe wasn't wearing a coat. That right there is enough for me to believe he must have gone into the house. I may be wrong about that because the defense hasn't pointed that out. They may be waiting for the EMTs to testify. Where was the coat?

Yeah, the defense not making a point of it made me wonder.

Also, why weren't any pictures of the crime scene taken? I mean, after O'Keefe had been taken to the hospital. There may have been time before the ambulance arrived, though. The shoe was, was anything else photographed?

Watch live: Karen Read murder trial Day 24: Lt. Brian Tully to return to the stand​

Story by Flint McColgan, Boston Herald
• 6h
<snip>

Video footage from 5:11 a.m., Tully said, shows a large, black SUV headed south on Washington Street toward Waterfall, then footage from 5:18 a.m. shows it headed toward the Fairview Road area.

Read would meet up at the home of Jennifer McCabe — a witness who spent three trial days on the stand a couple weeks ago — to begin a search for O’Keefe at 5:35 a.m. Tully testified this would leave enough time for Read to have gone to Fairview first before meeting with McCabe and another woman named Kerry Roberts.

McCabe and Roberts both previously testified that when Read saw O’Keefe’s body in the snow outside the Fairview Road home, neither of them had seen it.

The body and the Ford Edge​

Under cross-examination, Tully agreed that O’Keefe had “no winter gear on whatsoever” when his body was found outside in 18 degree temperatures. Tully said he’s “the type of guy who wears shorts throughout the year,” so it’s not necessarily suspicious someone would be found wearing that dress.


Defense attorney Alan Jackson asked why Tully didn’t either secure a search warrant for the house at 34 Fairview Road just to see if the victim’s winter coat or maybe his other Nike sneaker were inside. He also asked whether it would have been reasonable to at least ask if he could search the inside of the home

“No, and I still don’t,” Tully said.

Tully did testify that the plow driver Lucky Loughran changed his story three times. (Saw the Edge parked outside and no body was on the lawn after his first snow plow pass through, after Karen was home)

Ok, I live in a very similar weather area. NOBODY goes out in a blizzard without a coat on. Not so much for the cold, as for keeping dry. The snow will cling to whatever you're wearing and when you get inside you are wearing a cold wet shirt and pants.

I missed that. Why did he change his story three times? Was that true or just made up? Proctor hid the plow driver's statements.

Expert in Karen Read murder trial testifies that John O'Keefe's DNA was on taillight

The high-profile Karen Read murder trial resumed on Thursday with witness testimony from police and DNA experts.

Karen Read's phone calls to John O'Keefe's phone​

Tully testified on direct examination about phone activity after the time that investigators believe O'Keefe was killed.

According to Tully, from 12:30 a.m. to 6:03 a.m. on January 29, 2022, Read's phone called O'Keefe 53 times.

Tully explained a map that he made showing cellphone towers Read's phone pinged on while she was driving home from Fairview Road just after midnight.

<snip>

Jackson questioned the validity of the cell tower data and asked Tully about a Ford Edge that was reportedly seen in front of 34 Fairview overnight. Tully said the person who reported seeing the vehicle there changed their story multiple times.

Zoom way in. The sole looks black. That kind had a thick white band. The very base of the some is definitely not black even in that pic.

The shoe that was presented in court has a very white sole.

I can't really see the sole in the picture I linked.

It would be very strange if O'Keefe purchased mismatched shoes and equally strange that someone planted a mismatched shoe.

 

[Guess Who]

Yeah, the defense not making a point of it made me wonder.

Those are both the snow pics. Look at what was presented in court.

 

[Guess Who]

Also, why weren't any pictures of the crime scene taken? I mean, after O'Keefe had been taken to the hospital. There may have been time before the ambulance arrived, though. The shoe was, was anything else photographed?

Because that is what is supposed to be done and these guys did absolutely nothing that was supposed to be done.

 

[Guess Who]

I can't really see the sole in the picture I linked.

It would be very strange if O'Keefe purchased mismatched shoes and equally strange that someone planted a mismatched shoe.

It would be but no more strange than submitting an inverted video with the time stamps not inverted and we all know that definitely happened.
