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?

If she was in the driveway and reversed out turning that's one manoeuvre then going forward on the road as the second manoeuvre, it is a U turn. A three point turn is when you are on the street facing one way and then turn forward once to the opposite kerb, reverse turn to the other kerb, then forward again to end up going in the opposite direction ie 3 or more manoeuvres.
Yes. Not the same thing at all. Yet the cw's own "pro" said it was a U-turn, which everything else says 3 point. So what else from him is wrong?

BOSTON — Gov. Maura Healey on Monday promised more information “soon” on her pick to lead the Massachusetts State Police, amidst renewed calls for reform at the agency.

The State Police have been in the spotlight again after a trooper’s crude text messages were read aloud on the stand during the widely-watched Karen Read murder trial last week.

Meanwhile, the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security says it’s close to picking a final applicant as the next superintendent and colonel of the agency, 16 months after the job opened up.

Interim Col. John Mawn Jr. has been leading the State Police since Col. Christopher Mason retired in February 2023.


“From the beginning of our search process, we, in fact, have opened it up for the first time ever to consider candidates outside of the Massachusetts State Police,” Healey said Monday in response to a reporter’s question about looking outside the agency for its next leader.

She is the first governor able to take advantage of a provision of the 2020 policing reform law allowing the State Police colonel to be hired from outside of the department’s current ranks.

“I want folks to know the following: As governor and former attorney general, I want to make sure that we have the very best personnel throughout the ranks in the Massachusetts State Police. And that includes the position of colonel, that’s a process that is underway. We’ll have more on that soon,” Healey said.

She added, “And I spoke last week to comments made by the individual who is in the [unit] assigned to the district attorney’s office in the Read investigation.”

Healey told reporters last week, “It’s terrible ... It’s completely unprofessional. It does harm, frankly, to the dignity and the integrity of the work of men and women across the State Police and law enforcement. So as a former attorney general and as governor, I am disgusted by that.”

  • 3:44 p.m. Lally has started showing Facebook chat messages exchanged between O'Keefe and Read.
  • 3:39 p.m. Guarino says the defense's cell phone expert reached several incorrect conclusions, including that phone calls were deleted.
  • 3:31 p.m. Guarino says Read's cell phone did not have much useable GPS data but O'Keefe's had "quite a bit."
  • 3:28 p.m. After they got access to Read's phone, they found some communications with her attorney. They're not allowed to look at them. So they sent to AG's office which removed those messages then returned the phone several months later.
  • 3:25 p.m. Guarino says they used a system that bypasses the iPhone's protection system so that it could enter more than 10 passwords before the iPhone wipes itself clean. Says it took from Jan to Aug to break into Read's phone.
  • 3:22 p.m. Guarino says Proctor provided him with O'Keefe's cell phone and Read's cell phone. Says they could not initially break through the password protection on Read's cell phone.
  • 3:17 p.m. Guarino says he also two computers taken from O'Keefe's home: a Dell laptop and an HP Pavillion desktop. "We were looking for a Ring video," Guarino says. They found none. Says O'Keefe used his cell phone to access the Ring system.
  • 3:10 p.m. Guarino says the computer chips also did not provide any useable data.
  • 3:04 p.m. Guarino removed the entertainment system for Read's SUV on Feb 2, 2022 and attempted to do a data extraction on it. Says initially they couldn't do it so they removed the computer chips from the mother board.
  • 2:59 p.m. Next prosecution witness: Trooper Nicholas Guarino. Guarino says it was him not Proctor who reached out to Ian Whiffin about conducting cell phone data analysis in this case.
  • 2:54 p.m. "Nothing in there that tampering occurred," Whiffin says.
  • 2:53 p.m. Whiffins says he tested multiple versions of IOS and found the same data results each time.
  • 2:52 p.m. Whiffin says it would be possible to alter the extraction data but that doing so would leave a trace. "It's potentially possible but would require a large amount of knowledge and skills," Whiffin says.
  • 2:47 p.m. Defense attorney David Yannetti begins cross examination. He says Whiffin's analysis was not done on the same version of IOS as Jen McCabe's iPhone was using in 2022.
  • 2:43 p.m. Whiffin is now demonstrating his ArtEx tool to show how he analyzes cell phone data.
  • 2:37 p.m. Whiffin's bottom line: the Safari tab was opened at 2:27am to show two sports-related websites and the two hypothermia-related searches were done at 623am and 624am. Says it's "impossible" the record could have been deleted by the user.
  • 2:33 p.m. Whiffin continues to testify about his charts regarding Jen McCabe's cell phone usage. It's technical and similar to testimony jurors heard last week. A couple jurors are yawning.
  • 2:06 p.m. Whiffin is explaining tables of data regarding the Google search
  • 1:49 p.m. Case resumes after lunch
  • 12:59 p.m. Whiffin says if a Safari tab is minimalized, the timestamp is not updated.
  • 12:50 p.m. The record shows "hos long to di in cold" at 6:24:18am and "how long ti die in clkd" at 6:23:51am. Whiffin says he believes the results for each search never fully loaded on the phone.
  • 12:40 p.m. Whiffin says the item is deleted but he doesn't believe the user intentionally deleted it. Says one method of user deletion would have resulted in more widespread loss of data.
  • 12:35 p.m. Here's a record that shows the Google search related to "hos (sic) long to die in cold." It has a timestamp of 2:27:40am and is listed as a deleted record.
  • 12:27 p.m. Reminder: Prosecution says Read asked McCabe to search about hypothermia AFTER O'Keefe was found. Defense says McCabe did the search on her own in the middle of the night.
  • 12:25 p.m. About 2:27am timestamp: "That's not the time in my opinion that the search was conducted." Says other things going on with phone at that time. Says "plenty of evidence" that the search happened at 6:23am and 6:24am.
  • 12:20 p.m. Whiffin says he was contacted last September to determine how Jen McCabe's 2:27am cell phone timestamp occurred.
  • 12:12 p.m. Next prosecution witness: Ian Whiffin, digital forensics expert for Cellebrite. Originally from the U.K., previously worked for Calgary police.

What makes me think he's qualified to do this? Nothing I've seen. He looks like a novice.
 
Vinnie Politan is ripping Trooper Paul a new one. He was not impressed with him at all. VP said there were time he was wincing.
 
I've heard that the FBI accident reconstructionist is supposed to testify for the defense?

If so, he's gonna make Trooper Paul look like a fool.

The Karen Read murder trial continues Tuesday without the jury. Instead, the court will interview witnesses who may appear on the stand later.
 

Dr. Marie Russell takes the stand​

Dr. Marie Russell, an expert witness for the defense, was the first person to take the stand Tuesday as part of voir dire proceedings. Russell is expected to testify that arm injuries suffered by O’Keefe were consistent with an animal attack.

The prosecution has filed a motion seeking to exclude this witness.

Judge Beverly Cannone explained there appears to be a violation of reciprocal discovery regarding Russell, and said she wants to hear from the witness to see if there has been a violation.
 
Dr. Wolfe and Dr. Rentschler (Accident reconstruction specialist) received information/evidence to review from DOJ/FBI. Are not hired/paid by either Defense or Prosecution, but rather a "third party"

  • 11:28 a.m. Rentschler says he reviewed 14 items and issued a report to the contract agency on 2/12/24.
  • 11:25 a.m. Rentschler says he was not hired by either prosecution nor defense, but by third agency. Says he came to conclusions with a reasonable degree of certainty. Wrote a report that was made available to prosecution and defense in this case.
  • 11:22 a.m. Rentschler says he's testified in more than 150 court cases.

Just a reminder of the wounds the prosecution is trying to say insisting are evidence of a auto hitting him, in reverse, at 24 mph and the broken tail light pieces through his sweatshirt are what caused these and are trying to get a defense witness denied from testifying..

The judge told the defense that one of their experts has a serious problem. So I don't know if both will get through. I'm guessing it's the dog bite expert. The accident reconstructionist is better qualified.
