Karen Read's murder acceptance joins the fifth week of statement on Monday, with further witnesses to be expected at the stand.

Read, 45, is charged with murder's second degree, homemade, while he operates a motor vehicle under influence and in January 2022 the death of her friend, the police officer of Boston, John O'keefe, leaves the place of a deadly collision. The prosecutors claimed drunken and have deliberately secured their SUV in O'keefe, while after a night they fell in a follow-up with bar hopping in Canton.

However, Read's lawyers have made an alternative theory that O'keefe entered the party in the 34 Fairview Road, and was immediately beaten, attacked by the family and thrown out in the snow outside. The defense claims that it was read into a huge criminal conspirement to protect the protection of the family and friends of the home owner Brian Albert, a police officer in Boston.

Last week, the jurors heard from several forensic scientists, Massachusett's State Police Sergeants, the medical examiner who carried out O'keefes autopsy, and O'keefes teen native. O'keefe began to educate his sister's children after they had only lost both parents for a few months, and his niece remembered verbal arguments between reading and o'keefe.

According to the teenager, O'Keefe said, just a few weeks before his death, read that her relationship was “good, but it had run his course.” The prosecutors have pointed out the couple's tense relationship as a possible motive for murder.

Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello, a medical examiner of the state's head of the chief medicine, told the jury that she could not determine O'keef's type of death, although she set the cause as a blunt violations of influence for the head and hypothermia.

According to the Scordi-Bello, a medical examiner can let the type of death “vague” if “the circumstances in one case do not fully or clear to us and the information we have is not a kind of death over another.” In O'keef's case, she said there are a number of possible scenarios that could blame the injuries that she had observed during her autopsy.

Scordi-Bello told the jury that between an injury on the back of O'Keefe's head nothing inconsistent and a fall on a flat, frozen soil have proposed the scenario prosecutor. However, the medical examination also found that it observed no evidence of an “impact location” on O'keefe's lower extremities that would confirm a vehicle collision such as breaks, bruises or bleeding.

Two forensic scientists from the State Police Criminality Laboratory – Ashley Vallier and Andre Porto – said that O'keefe had obvious plastic debris in his clothes and, more exponentially, had not contributed to a mixture of DNA that was found on reading.

Also on Friday, judge Beverly Cannon allowed a new report by the expert from the Shanon Burgess of accident reconstruction and the Biomechanics company Aperture LLC. The defenders had tried to block the revised report from Burgess and argued that the expert had changed a decisive time temple for a “trigger” event to Reads SUV, who claimed in the time of the public prosecutor's office.

“The time of what is claimed by the Commonwealth is very important,” said defender Robert Alessi. “The seconds are very important.”

The special prosecutor Hank Brennan said another important expert of blind, the accident reconstructor Judson, would probably testify for law enforcement in the coming days. The ongoing trial version is the second of Read. Her first murder process led in July last July after the jury returned.
