#KarenRead Good morning. Day 24 of testimony. Today we expect to hear more from Lt. Brian Tully, who oversees the state police detective unit at the Norfolk DA's Office. He testified yesterday he admonished Tpr Michael Proctor for his crude, offensive comments about Karen Read.
Tully returns to the witness stand. Prosecutor Adam Lally continues his questioning about the evidence search at 34 Fairview Road. Says they didn't search inside the because they didn't have any reason to believe they'd find evidence.
Tully says the legal requirement for a search warrant is that a location more likely than not contains evidence. Says they had no indication O'Keefe ever entered the home.
Tully says O'Keefe's arm abrasions had a certain pattern. Says blunt force from objects can leave such patterns. Starts to say "I'd be comfortable to say the marks on Mr. O'Keefe are consistent with..." Defense objects. Judge sustains.
Tully says they gathered surveillance video from the town library and from Temple Beth Abraham in Canton for the timeframes 12am-1am and 5am-6am. Says those are the times Read was traveling in the area.
Here's a map Tully made showing 34 Fairview, the Waterfall bar, O'Keefe's home and the library and synagogue where he collected surveillance video.
Here's Read's SUV passing in front of the library on its way to 34 Fairview Road. The right at the light would be towards O'Keefe's home. The SUV continues north on Washington Street.
Here's the SUV in front of the synagogue (opposite site of the street) as it continues towards 34 Fairview.
Here's Read's SUV back in front of the library at 5:11am. It shows it coming from the direction of O'Keefe's neighborhood towards where the Waterfall bar is located.
Here's the SUV a few minutes later, at 5:15am, heading north in front of the library. It continues towards the synagogue (same path it took to go to 34 Fairview Rd hours earlier.)
Here's the SUV at 5:18am passing in front of the synagogue. (Again, this is the same path it took a few hours earlier to go to 34 Fairview Road.)
Tully testifies that the SUV would have had time to go back to 34 Fairview Road before continuing on to McCabe residence. He says without the detour to the scene, the time of travel is too short.
Tully describes how they use cell tower data to track phone movements. Says phones usually connect to closest tower but not always. Says phone connect to tower for data even when the phone is not actively being used.
Tully says cell phone data shows Read's phone was somewhere on the red arc on this map at 518am. (Prosecution is trying to suggest Read went back to 34 Fairview before going to McCabe's residence.)
Jackson begins cross examination by asking about O'Keefe not being found wearing winter clothing. Jacksons asks if it's reasonable his clothing might have been in the house. Tully says not reasonable, notes he himself wears shorts all winter.
Jackson asks if O'Keefe might have lost his shoe while being dragged by others. Tully says he's never seen that but says it's not impossible.
Tully says he recently asked Canton PD to double check for more video of the garage. Says that's when they got new video. Jackson asks if he noted the video was inverted. Tully says no.
