MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #25 Retrial

[sunshineray]

the defense did not hire, retain, or pay ARCCA, LLC, to engage in the reconstruction, analysis, and/or testing that was performed by ARCCA


In new court filings Monday, Read’s defense sought to clarify statements made in documents for the previous hearing, specifically a motion that states the ARCCA crash experts “were not hired or paid by the defense.”

“The statement…. was poorly worded and should have reflected, more specifically, that the defense did not hire, retain, or pay ARCCA, LLC, to engage in the reconstruction, analysis, and/or testing that was performed by ARCCA in connection with this case,” attorney Elizabeth Little wrote in an affidavit.

In a corresponding filing, Read’s defense admits to paying ARCCA experts for their time and expenses after trial. According to the document, the payments included:

• Travel expenses and time associated with traveling to Norfolk Superior Court.
• Less than 1 hour in calls with the defense to coordinate attendance and discuss the experts’ background.
• Time spent testifying in court and the experts’ internal preparation for trial.

‘Poorly worded’: Karen Read’s defense clarifies payments to crash reconstruction experts

The case is due back in Norfolk Superior Court on Tuesday for the continuation of a pre-retrial hearing on Judge Beverly Cannone’s “grave concerns.

They did coordination testimony though, very unsightly and unfortunately allowed. MO

LOL this video. Higgins and BA need to get a room maybe?

YB: Looks like he's giving him the Heimlich maneuver.

A complete waste of taxpayer's dollars in this cop.

I don’t care.
I admitted I had it wrong on the guy testifying.
I have a right to my opinion, and I think the defense’s behavior is sketchy.

Agree to disagree. Judge Cannone called it a “flagrant violation” of discovery obligations because Jackson didn’t discover the ARCCA invoice in time. That’s a procedural issue, not misconduct in testimony or intent to deceive. If Jackson had actually lied or ARCCA had violated the law, they would’ve been barred from testifying. Instead, Cannone let them proceed. She considered PHV revocation, but didn’t do it, because the situation didn’t rise to that level. Let’s not confuse a discovery delay with disqualifying misconduct, which is what I was discussing.

She said Jackson made repeated misrepresentations. That is misconduct. The question was what sanction to apply and it was simply too close to trial to revoke his PHV. Had she found out earlier i believe she would have booted him.

IMO.

Doesn't change physics IMO

There was no snow bank at that time, not enough snow had fallen IMO and I hope that is proved. The lawn was at a slight slope downward. Problem, he believed BH even though another officer was found dead at the home BH had come from. IMO

I still question why BH said he parked a jeep on the road on a snowy day when other witnesses said there was no jeep there....WHY???

It’s so dishonest of YB to say over and over that they let the evidence drive them, when we know they were mad that the medical examiner wouldn’t give them a manner of death consist with a car collision. Working backwards from day 1. MOO

do you have a link for that?

YB said that Brian Higgins told investigators he didn’t see John O’Keefe’s body because it was “hidden by a snowbank.” But the meteorologist already confirmed there wasn’t enough snow that night to plow, let alone form a snowbank. Higgins also mentioned plowing, which only makes it worse… MOO

Maybe, maybe not is my take. Being privy to the knowledge, unlike the jurors, makes me discount the objectivity of the conclusions. JMO

I said i yesterday and I'll repeat today.

Until this MSP cop took the stand I still thought KR was guilty (though I believed the crown hadn't proved their case beyond reasonable doubt).
His deflecting and avoidance of simply answering yes or no to a yes/no question is both disgusting and embarrassing and clearly indicates the cops are trying to hide something.
I think he is corrupt.


This witness.....

1) Has changed my belief to where I think KR is absolutely NOT guilty.
2) Quite possibly will single handedly swing more than one juror to vote in favour of Karen Read
3) Confirms the belief of those in the general public that believe there is corruption in police investigations

But the conclusions were made before the defense even knew they existed.

Yes I just posted it above

IMO.

Really? IMO she could only sling insults and nothing more because she knows sanctions aren’t warranted and she doesn’t want an official paper trail documenting her gross bias.

The video was just shown of Higgins and John in Waterfall.
