The testimony of witnesses in a high -ranking proceedings on the murder with Karen Read was unexpectedly suspended on Tuesday, May 13, just a few minutes before the court continued in Dedham in Massachusetts. The High Court in Norfolk issued a brief statement, referring to the “inevitable circumstances” as a reason for the delay and did not provide any further explanation.
The court, twenty minutes before the testimony was ready for renewal, said today’s meeting is canceled due to “inevitable circumstances”. Another date of court remains uncertain.
Test set to entry to 15. Day
The court was to plan a sequel to the 15th day of testimony in court proceedings, 45 years, who is charged with the murder of her friend, Boston policeman John O’Keefe, in January 2022.
The key testimony of the state soldier Bukhenik
After three days, the murder trial of the murder was a testimony from the state soldier Massachusets Yuri Bukhenik, who packed his direct exam on Monday.
Bukhenik told the jurors that the broken rear lights on the Read SUV led the police to suspect its involvement in O’Keefe’s death. “That was what created the case,” said Bukhenik with reference to the rear light and alleged confession.
Defense challenges the credibility of investigation
During a cross examination, the law of the Read attacked the credibility of the investigation and challenged Bukhenik on the role of former state soldier Michael Proctor, who was released in March due to unrelated misconduct. Proctor, subordinate Bukhenik during the early stages of the investigation, reportedly sent vulgar and distorted text messages related to the Read case.
Competitive narrative: deliberate intervention or framing?
The prosecutors say Read was under the influence of alcohol and intentionally hit O’Keef in rage before he escaped from the scene. She was charged with the murder of the second grade, killing in surgery under the influence and leaving the scene of a fatal accident.
Read admitted that he was not guilty of all charges. Her lawyers say she is framed and claims that O’Keefe died during the fight inside the house at 34 Fairview Road and was towed to store investigators.
Background: Test at the center of attention
The first court ended up in a suspended jury in 2024, which led to the master. This renewal gained intensive media coverage and public control, while legal observers carefully monitored how the new evidence and witnesses of credibility cause the juror.
On Tuesday, it remains unclear when the proceedings will continue or which will testify. A pause means another unpredictable lifting in the court proceedings, which was clamped in Massachusetts and set on debates on liability for enforcement and judicial transparency.
