  • Closing Arguments Presented in Karen Read's Trial Over Boyfriend's Death

    Closing Arguments Presented in Karen Read's Trial Over Boyfriend's Death
    Jun 26 2024
    The day began with a delay due to the dismissal of a juror for personal reasons, reducing the jury to 14 members. Closing arguments were subsequently delayed as Judge Beverly Cannone addressed this issue privately with attorneys.

    Prosecutor Adam Lally initiated his closing arguments by quoting statements attributed to Read: “I hit him, I hit him, I hit him,” which four witnesses claimed to have heard. Lally urged jurors to use their common sense and life experiences in evaluating the evidence, which he argued pointed to Read’s guilt.

    Lally presented a timeline of events starting from communications between Read and O’Keefe on the morning of January 28, 2022. He detailed that Read consumed seven drinks within an hour and a half that evening and emphasized that her vehicle traveled at 24 miles per hour in reverse. Lally argued that Read’s actions and statements, such as a voicemail left for O’Keefe saying, “John I (expletive) hate you,” indicated a consciousness of guilt.

    He highlighted the moment when Read allegedly found O’Keefe’s body covered in snow on January 29, 2022, and her decision to drive to her parents’ house instead of staying at O’Keefe’s home. Lally posited that Read’s behavior showed a motive linked to a perceived infidelity by O’Keefe, which prosecutors argued was a factor leading to his death.

    Lally dismissed the defense’s claims of evidence planting and conspiracies involving law enforcement, stating that despite Trooper Michael Proctor’s “unprofessional” text messages, there was no impact on the integrity of the investigation.

    Defense attorney Alan Jackson began his closing statements by accusing the state of lying to the jurors and presenting a narrative built on deception. “Look the other way,” Jackson asserted, summarizing what he believed to be the state’s strategy. He emphasized that the evidence did not support the prosecution’s theory that Read struck O’Keefe with her SUV.

    Jackson pointed to inconsistencies and alleged misconduct by investigators, including Trooper Proctor, who he claimed manipulated evidence to fit a narrative. He argued that physical evidence, such as the lack of bruising or bone fractures consistent with a car-pedestrian crash, supported the defense’s case that Read did not hit O’Keefe.

    Jackson also presented an alternative theory based on Apple Health data from O’Keefe’s phone and testimonies from defense experts, including accident reconstructionists who concluded that O’Keefe’s injuries were not caused by being struck by Read’s vehicle.

    Judge Cannone provided jurors with instructions, emphasizing that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. She reminded the jury that the burden of proof lies with the state and that the arguments made by lawyers are not evidence.

    Cannone explained that all 12 deliberating jurors must agree on whether the prosecution met this burden, and the evidence must convince them of Read’s guilt to a “reasonable and moral certainty.”

  • Defense Rests in Karen Read Murder Trial, Experts Testify Injuries Inconsistent with Vehicle Strike

    Defense Rests in Karen Read Murder Trial, Experts Testify Injuries Inconsistent with Vehicle Strike
    Jun 26 2024
    In a pivotal moment in the Karen Read murder trial, the defense rested its case after presenting expert testimony that challenges the prosecution's narrative. Read, a Mansfield woman, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe, whose body was found outside a Canton home in January 2022.

    The defense's final witness, Dr. Daniel Wolfe, an expert in accident reconstruction from Arcca, testified that there is not enough evidence to definitively determine what happened to O'Keefe.

    Prosecutor Adam Lally questioned Wolfe about the omission of O'Keefe’s shoe and hat in his reconstruction report. Wolfe acknowledged this but maintained that these omissions did not affect his overall conclusions.

    Wolfe described an experiment where he and colleagues used an air cannon to launch a cocktail glass at a taillight, replicating the damage found on Read’s vehicle. He explained, “We aimed at a portion of the taillight where the clear and red met because that’s where the damage seemed to emanate from.”

    When asked about first responders hearing Read say “I hit him” three times, Wolfe admitted he was unaware of this, as well as the presence of O'Keefe’s DNA on Read’s taillight. Despite this, Wolfe stood by his analysis, stating, “Absolutely not,” when asked if this new information changed his conclusions.

    Following Wolfe, Dr. Andrew Rentschler, a biomechanical engineer and accident reconstructionist, took the stand. Rentschler's testimony focused on the inconsistencies between the injuries O'Keefe sustained and the damage to Read’s SUV. “The injury to O’Keefe’s head was not consistent with being struck by a vehicle. In that scenario, there would be damage to a person’s spine,” Rentschler explained.

    He further noted that a car driving at 24 miles per hour would cause significant damage to both the taillight and O’Keefe’s arm, which was not observed in this case. “I would expect to see significant trauma, more so than simply the abrasions diagnosed in this case,” Rentschler said.
    The defense also called Dr. Frank Sheridan, a retired chief medical examiner, who testified about the injuries on O'Keefe's arm. Sheridan, who has conducted over 12,000 autopsies, stated that the cuts on O’Keefe’s arm were more consistent with a dog attack than a vehicle strike. “No bruising here. We have linear abrasions without any bruising. It does not look remotely like an impact from a motor vehicle,” he said.

    Sheridan explained that the pattern and type of abrasions suggested they were caused by an animal's claws or teeth. He used a laser pointer to highlight clusters of abrasions on O’Keefe’s arm, describing how most appeared to be claw marks.

    During cross-examination, Lally asked Sheridan about the absence of other injuries typical of a vehicle strike. Sheridan reiterated that the injuries observed were inconsistent with being hit by a vehicle and more aligned with a dog attack.
    He also noted that there was no canine DNA found on O’Keefe’s arm, but this did not alter his professional opinion.

  • Judge Orders Permanent Sealing of Exhibits in Chad Daybell Murder Trial to Protect Victims' Families

    Judge Orders Permanent Sealing of Exhibits in Chad Daybell Murder Trial to Protect Victims' Families
    Jun 25 2024
    In a move to protect the privacy and dignity of the victims' families, Judge Steven Boyce has permanently sealed nearly 100 exhibits from the high-profile Chad Daybell murder trial. The decision, announced after Daybell was sentenced to death for the murders of Tammy Daybell, Joshua “JJ” Vallow, and Tylee Ryan, comes in response to multiple requests for access to the evidence from authors and media members.

    “Certain requests seek to obtain all of the exhibits in this case, with some expressly requesting the autopsy photos published to the jury,” Judge Boyce explained in his order. “The Court notes that at trial those photos were published to the jurors, the parties, the Court, and in some instances privately to the victims, upon their request. They were not, however, publicly disseminated.”

    Judge Boyce stressed the importance of balancing the victims' rights with the public's right to information, particularly highlighting the impact on the families involved. He noted that several victim impact statements during the sentencing expressed deep distress over the behavior of individuals claiming to be media. These individuals, Boyce pointed out, have often sensationalized the tragedy, causing ongoing psychological trauma to the families.

    “The Court was particularly moved by several victim impact statements at sentencing expressly criticizing individuals proclaiming to be ‘media’ who, in the course of this case, have disrupted the lives of the families of these victims,” Boyce wrote. “Some of those family members described in detail the psychological trauma they have unfairly been subjected to by the ‘media,’ simply because they had some familial relationship to the victims in this case.”

    Boyce clarified that his reference to “media” does not include established and historically recognized reporting agencies but rather targets "true crime" bloggers and YouTubers who have exploited the case for sensational content. By sealing 97 exhibits, including autopsy photos and images of human remains found on Daybell’s property, Boyce aims to protect the families from further distress.

    “The interests of the victims and their family members to be spared the ongoing trauma of such sensitive or gruesome material being disseminated is not outweighed by the right of public disclosure of this evidence,” Boyce wrote. “Victims Tylee Ryan, JJ Vallow, Tamara Douglas Daybell and their family members’ respect, dignity and privacy are best protected by the continued sealing of these exhibits.”

    This decision underscores the court’s commitment to prioritizing the mental health and privacy of those directly affected by the tragic events, ensuring that they are not further victimized by public exposure to graphic evidence. As the legal proceedings surrounding Chad Daybell's case continue to unfold, the court's ruling reflects a broader concern about the ethical responsibilities of media coverage in high-profile criminal cases.
