with imminent deliberations, an overview of a few strengths of the 2 test 2

His lawyers say that she was supervised and that O’Keefe entered the House of Road Fairview, owned at the time by a colleague officer of Boston, where he was fatally beaten and possibly mutilated by a German shepherd before his body was planted on the lawn.

With the verdict watch about to start, here is an overview of 10 key moments in the second try.

The jurors heard the testimony of the emergency speakers and a civilian witness, Jennifer McCabe, who said that a frantic reading had shouted several times “I hit him” after the two women and a third person, Kerry Roberts, discovered the snowy body of O’Keefe on the lawn before 6 am.

Read’s lawyers said that the testimony was false and that one of the first speakers, the paramedical paramedics Katie McLaughlin, had socialized several times with Caitlin Albert, a secondary classmate whose parents had the Fairview house at the time of the death of O’Keefe.

The jurors also heard testimonies of forensic experts concerning Google research on McCabe’s phone for “Hos [sic] Long to die in cold ”, which was horrible at 2:27 am on January 29, 2022, almost two hours after reading, he would have struck O’Keefe with his SUV.

McCabe had testified that she had tried twice in freezing weather on the crime scene for Google the information at the request of Read, and the digital medical-legal experts Ian Whiffin and Jessica Hyde told the jurors that they believed that the horoditing was inaccurate, indicating that McCabe opened the first time the Browser tab

Read lawyers allege that the authorities falsified their rear light when its SUV was brought to a canton police garage on the evening of January 29, 2022, then planted pieces of rear fire broken on the scene in order to frame it.

They called Nicholas Barros, a police officer in Dighton, to strengthen this assertion. Barros testified that the damage to Read’s rear fire was more extensive in a photo taken in the police garage than before, when she was parked outside the Dighton residence of Read’s parents. The SUV was towed from there to the Canton garage.

Barros was in Dighton with state police soldiers, who seized the vehicle after talking with Read.

“This rear light is completely broken” in the garage photo, said Barros. “This central section was intact when I was there.”

Barros told Prosecutor Hank Brennan in counter-examination that video sequences from the O’Keefe alley at 5:07 a.m. on January 29, 2022, showing a white part of the rear right that would be red if the rear light was entirely intact was “consistent” with the damage he had later in Dighton.

The jurors have also seen monitoring images of the ATF agent, Brian Higgins, that the defense supports is very suspicious.

Higgins had exchanged cocquent texts with weeks preceding the death of O’Keefe, and he was seen on video images at the waterfall, the second bar that the group visited in the night in question, free of charge in the direction of O’Keefe while the group was prepared from midnight for post-starty on Fairview. At some point in the clip, another boss seems to hold Higgins by entering his forearm.

In addition, the jury saw images of Higgins briefly entering the canton police station, where he had an office, around 1:30 am, about an hour after reading the allegedly hit O’Keefe. He then returned to the parking lot, where he recovered an empty duffel bag from another vehicle in the middle of strong snowfall. He also recovered a garden hoe from another part of the lot.

Higgins did not testify during the new trial.

Among the defense witnesses who testified were Dr. Elizabeth Lopasata, the former chief forensic scientist of Rhode Island.

Lopasata told jurors that O’Keefe’s injuries, including a skull fracture, abrasions on his right arm, swelling of the eyes, cuts on his right eye and his nose, and bruises on the hand and the right knee, were not consistent with a vehicle strike.

“Looking at the body, I could say that there was no evidence of a vehicle,” she said.

The opinion of Lopasata was contradicted by Judson Welcher, a biomechanical engineer who testified for the accusation and told the jurors that the abrasions on O’Keefe’s right arm were in accordance with the geography of the broken back of Read.

Welcher also described a test he carried out with a replica of Lexus SUV in which the right rear light zone was painted in blue while the vehicle contacts him slightly, leaving the blue paint on his arm in the same general area as the injuries of O’Keefe.

The government also called the colleague of Welcher, Shanon Burgess, who reviewed Read Lexus information and told the jurors that she showed her SUV in the opposite direction at the same time when O’Keefe’s phone had stopped going to Fairview.

The jurors also heard the testimony of Andrew Rentschler and Daniel Wolfe, two analysts of the Reconstruction Society of the Arcca crash which found the damage to the SUV of Read and the injuries of O’Keefe were not compatible with him by the vehicle.

Analysts were initially hired by the Ministry of Justice, which launched a federal investigation into the Grand Jury on the management of the state application of the laws of the death of O’Keefe, and the defense then preserved them separately.

No one was charged with federal crimes in connection with the case, and the jurors were prohibited from teaching this investigation at the trial.

Another discharge witness was Dr. Marie Russell, a veteran emergency doctor in Los Angeles and the former Malden police officer, who testified that the dials of the cuts on the right arm of O’Keefe suggested that they had been caused by a dog attack.

The defense also called the Boston police officer Kelly Dever, a canton police officer at the time of the death of O’Keefe.

In a tense exchange, reading lawyer Alan Jackson asked her questions about an interview she gave to the FBI in which she said to Ken Berkowitz, the canton police chief at the time, and Higgins was in the police garage for a “very long” in the afternoon of January 29, 2022.

Dever said it was her memory when she spoke to the agents.

She said to Brennan in a counter-examination that she knew that her quarter of work ended at 3:45 p.m. on January 29, 2022 and that she left at that time. Dever said that the defense later produced a calendar showing that the SUV entered the garage after that, “which means that it is not possible that I saw this.”

Dever said that it was a “false memory” that she “provided in good faith”, that she then “retracted immediately [upon] Be testified that it was not possible. »»

She said that her false memory may have been colored by the media reports she had seen on the case.
