Idk about anyone else, but referring to possible JO’s body as “a black blob” gives me the ick.Witness saw "a black blob" while leaving home
Nagel was the next witness called after Levinson stepped down. She said at one point she saw a black SUV outside the home, something that Brian Albert Jr. also testified Monday that he saw.
Karen Read was driving a black Lexus SUV at the time O'Keefe died.
"Looking out the window I noticed the SUV in front of the mailbox. Then it pulled up a little in front of the yard. Then it pulled up a little in front of the flagpole," Nagel testified, adding that she never saw anyone get out of the SUV.
Nagel said she noticed something on the ground near the flagpole in the front yard of the house while the group drove away. That is the area where O'Keefe's body was found.
"I noticed something out of the ordinary … like a black blob on the ground," Nagel testified. She said that she was intoxicated, and it was too quick to determine what exactly she had seen. She said what she saw was "five or six feet long."
On cross-examination, Nagel says the first time she told anyone this observation in an official capacity was in an interview with Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor in October 2022.
"You've never mentioned that this black object was five or six feet long until the last hour or so when Mr. Lally questioned you about it, correct?" Yannetti asked. Nagel answered yes.
Prosecutors have previously accused Proctor of being compromised because of personal ties in the case. Proctor is currently under internal investigation by state police after they said they are looking into "a potential violation of department policy." Proctor denied any wrongdoing and remains on full duty during the investigation.
"You did not think that you saw a person that was in trouble, correct?" Yannetti asked. Nagel said she did not.
"You did not see a body on that lawn did you?" Yannetti later asked. "I don't know what I saw, but I saw an object," Nagel responded.
Testimony concluded for the day Tuesday and will resume with Nagel on the stand Wednesday morning.
Read's attorneys also said they expect a DNA expert to testify before some more witnesses from 34 Fairview on Wednesday.
Karen Read murder trial witness says she saw "black blob" on Brian Albert's Canton lawn
Every time I hear or see it feels so disrespectful. Can’t imagine what his parents feel hearing that.
I get it is a direct quote from basically a kid, but it lacks sensitivity and should be rephrased when possible (media).
ETA- and of course, as I post my comment the phrase couldn’t be any bigger in a quoted comment. UGH
