Forensic testing showed that O’Keefe’s hair was found on the vehicle’s bumper and his DNA was found on the taillight, Lally said. Investigators also found the remnants of a cocktail that appears to have been spilled on the bumper, the prosecutor said. O’Keefe was captured on video leaving the bar with a cocktail in his hand, and bits of what the prosecutor described as a drinking glass were found in the SUV’s bumper.

As they approached 34 Fairview Road, “All of a sudden Karen said, ‘There he is! There he is! Let me the F out of this car.’ And she started kicking the door,” Roberts recalled.

She said she didn’t see anything at the time, but she unlocked the door and watched as Read ran over to “a mound of snow.”

“At some point, I realized it was the shape of a body,” she added.

Roberts teared up as Assistant District Attorney Adam Lally played police dashcam footage from the scene. Choking back a sob, she recalled the moment she realized there was a person buried in the snow. When she ran over and cleared snow from the man’s face, she said she recognized O’Keefe, her longtime friend.

“He had blood coming out of his nose and his mouth, and his right eye — it looked like a golf ball,” Roberts said, adding that O’Keefe was also bleeding from a cut on the back of his head.

Four hours after Officer John O'Keefe's (JOK) death

MG: KR said JOK mother seemed to keep her distant
KR: They had pulled into the driveway before me. So I was presuming she saw my cracked tail light, and was thinking did you hit my son?
I could sense from her that she was looking at me very warily.

KR: and then when John’s nephew came home I just wanted to see him and squeeze him and hug him. I was quite uncomfortable. My dad came upstairs to the master bedroom and I said I think I need to leave. I said I think John’s mother thinks I did something to John.

MG: at what point on Saturday, the 29th did you think you needed an attorney?
KR: as soon as I interacted with JOK's mother at JOK house. When we were driving home I said to my father, I need to get an attorney.

Read allegedly Googled ‘DUI attorneys’

Prosecutors sought to introduce a Google search Read allegedly made for “DUI attorneys” at 1:27 p.m. on Jan. 29, 2022 — before her interview with State Police troopers. Assistant District Attorney Laura McLaughlin argued the search undermines Read’s defense that she “was framed, that she had no intent or opportunity to commit these crimes. Further, that she was not intoxicated at the time.”

Defense attorney David Yannetti said Proctor, the lead investigator, had called Read about eight minutes before Read made the search. He argued Read was only looking for an attorney to defend her presumptive innocence.

Judge Beverly Cannone said she would not allow the search into evidence at this time, though she left the door open for its inclusion later on in the trial.

KR: My eyes are peeled. And I said he’s right —— there. I jumped out of the passenger side, and I fell into the street.
His eyes were shut, and he had spots of blood in different areas on his face and he was still, not stiff, but still. It was cold. I felt cold.
But I didn’t feel dangerously cold. And it was just an odd feeling to know that I’m okay, Im not dying, but he’s here with me, and he’s dying.
And I can’t warm him up.




Timestamp 7:40
KR: I had called my father. He didn’t answer and I texted him, John is dead.
I didn’t know for sure John was dead. Im trying to elicit a response. I thought he could be dead.
And he called me back. And I was distraught.
And I said I dont want to live. I didn’t have any ideation of harming myself, Ive never dealt with grief of this magnitude.
So my father called the police.
 
Read's second trial is currently scheduled for January 27, 2025, but could be delayed depending on how long an appeal her team is currently arguing will take to be decided. Read's attorneys appealed part of her case to the Supreme Judicial Court, the state's highest court, arguing that two of her three charges should be dismissed because jurors in her first trial agreed behind closed doors to acquit her on second degree murder and leaving the scene.

Digital forensic expert Jessica Hyde previously told jurors McCabe’s search could have been timestamped at 2:27 a.m., rather than 6:23 a.m., because that was the time when she first opened the tab where she made the search.

Whiffin on Monday said, if Safari is minimized and operating in the background, time stamps are not updated and searches done hours or days later on the same tab can show a previous timestamp.

Whiffin said McCabe was on WiFi looking at sports schedules at 2:27 a.m. Hours later, she used the same Safari tab to look up information about hypothermia. Whiffin said the subsequent search was logged with the older timestamp.

According to the lawsuit, the first bar served Read seven drinks in about 90 minutes on the night of January 28, 2022. She then brought a drink with her to a second bar, where she was served a shot and a mixed drink within the next hour.

On Wednesday, Read's attorneys filed a motion to postpone the wrongful death lawsuit trial until after her criminal proceedings are complete.

According to an affidavit filed with the search warrant application, investigators sought Read’s phones on the suspicion that she committed witness interference and conspiracy to intimidate a witness through her communication with Kearney. Specifically, the affidavit alleges that Read made an agreement with Kearney to provide “information, photography, material relative to her criminal defense, and editorial oversight of blog posts and videos intended to harass, intimidate and cause emotional harm.”
