In the heart of the High-Profile Murderous Courts Karen Read are newly analyzed data from her Lexus SUV, a recorded night before her friend, Boston policeman John O’Keefe, was found dead outside the home of his co-worker.
Reading, 45 years, it is accused of intervening O’Keefe with her SUV in a seizure of drunk rage and leave him to die in a snowstorm in January 2022. The defense, however, portrays a significantly different image-one of the women who was covered by a police officer to cover.
The prosecutors claim that O’Keefe has struck an SUV lexus and let him die in a snowstorm outside his home colleague officer Brian Albert in Canton.
Data SUV Lexus under control
In the second court proceedings on the murder of Karen Read Digital Forensics Shannon Burgess on Tuesday testified that the data from the Lexus SUV Read would not confirm the collision of John O’Keefe in the morning.
When the defense attorney Robert Alessi asked, “None of the information in this black locker … suggests that there was a collision on January 29?” Burgess replied, “Not in itself.”
Alessi pressed, “Are Lexus SUVs running?” Burgess replied, “I don’t know, sir.”
Although Burgess used the term “collision” in his report, he explained that this language came from the sources of the state police, which led Alessi to accuse him of “confirmation distortion”.
Missed data casts light on the timeline
Burgess revealed that he revealed a secure digital card on the car circuit board-worked in an initial investigation-which records detailed time signs of vehicle activity, including on/off and specific maneuvers such as backup or three-point turns.
He explained: “When the lexus is turned on, the inner clock starts running like a stopwatch. When the car does a maneuver, a time stamp is created.”
Burgess has used GPS data from O’Keefe navigation to navigate mobile phones and shots from the camera to verify these time grades claiming that prosecution is decisive in determining when reading allegedly hit O’Keefe with its vehicle.
A defensive challenge is the credibility of the analyst
Lawyers questioned Burgess’s mandate and emphasized inconsistencies in their academic qualification. Alessi pointed out the irregularities between Burgess’s LinkedIn, CVS and his employer’s website and noted that Burgess “watches the bachelor’s degree for 17 years”.
Burgess admitted, “I don’t know why my CV contained inaccuracies on the company’s website,” he said he recently did not update his LinkedIn profile.
Alessi also asked why Burgess had submitted an updated message with new time stamps for weeks into an attempt. Burgess said the new report was “clarification, not changes”.
Despite the defense attempts to exclude reports and professional testimonies about discovery concerns, Judge Beverly Cannone allowed prosecution to continue.
Details of the timeline are based on SUV data
Newly revealed vehicle data offer a more precise time time of Read at the time of O’Keefe’s death. Data tracks, when the SUV has been turned on or off and records maneuvers that correspond to the night events, help prosecutors say that the Read vehicle has been involved.
Forensic scientist describes in detail the findings of DNA on SUV and scene
On Friday, Andre Porto, a forensic scientist with the DNA unit Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab, testified to DNA evidence obtained from the SUV Karen Read and the crime scene.
Porto said he tested broken rear rear lights on SUV Read and identified DNA from three contributors. He stressed, however, “Only John O’Keefe was a likely match.”
He also examined DNA from fragments of broken cocktail glass found in the yard and confirmed, “Only O’Keefe was considered a probable match.”
When Porto asked the hair found on the back, he said that no human DNA was detected on the hair obtained from the right rear panel of the SUV.
Mitochondrial DNA could match with more relatives
On Monday, Karl Miyasako, an analyst by BODE Technology, regarding the hair sample taken from the vehicle. He explained that testing of the mitochondrial DNA “found agreement with O’Keefe”, but added, “It could also match any of his parent relatives.”
DNA on O’Keefe clothing shows more contributors
Porto also tested stains on jeans, sweatshirts and T -shirts O’Keefe. While DNA was found from multiple sources, he confirmed: “The only probable match was John O’Keefe.”
During a crushed examination by lawyer David Yannetti, Porto acknowledged Porto uncertainty about the origin of another DNA found on O’Keefe’s garment and other subjects.
Key DNA tests have not been performed in other potential suspects
Porto admitted that he was never asked to compare the bottom on the back of the bottom with the DNA with the Canton DNA police officer Kevin Albert or the then boss Ken Berkowitz.
He also said that no DNA test was carried out on a broken cocktail glass to check Brian Albert, a former police officer in Boston, who owned an O’Keefe, or Brian Higgins, Agent ATF.
Defense proposes an alternative suspicious
Defense claims that O’Keefe may have died after the fight at the party and raised the suspicion of Albert and Higgins. This line of interrogation underlines the statement of defense that Karen Read was framed and that the rest of that night present could be responsible for the death of O’Keefe.
This evidence of DNA and gaps emphasized during testimony contributes to the court, because the jurors are considering the possible involvement of others who are not read in tragic events that night.
