MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #26 Retrial

Alessi following up on Brendan’s argument. He says Brennan has the time and the significance of the time wrong.

Hank referenced Mr. Disogra. Mr Disogra provided his expert report MONTHS ago, before the reciprocal discovery deadline.
And Mr. Disogra was responding TO Aperture.

Now onto the ‘clocks are different’ comment. Alessi says that the ‘clocks are different’ concept has been in existence in this case for over 6 months. Whiffen even went into all that in his report from 5-6 months ago.

Even more ‘fatal’ for the CW, Mr Burgess HIMSELF issued his report and discussed the differences in clocks. This isn’t new information for Mr. Burgess. Aperture was retained Oct 2024. Burgess and Welcher had Ian Whiffen’s report discussing clock differences. So the clock difference don’t hold up as ‘new information’ that would call for a new report.

Mr. Burgess in his original report has an entire section of clock drift. Not a new concept for him, he’s just changing the drift.

Brennan also claimed to be ‘surprised’ to get the 5/8/25 report. If they’re surprised, Alessi says, that should be even more of an outstanding reason to not allow it.

Ambush, ambush, ambush. Alessi not having it.

He's had the thousand yard stare the entire trial IMO.

Probably was forced to retry the case by Morrisey knowing he's gonna have to take the L. JMO

 

[Wishbone]

He's had the thousand yard stare the entire trial IMO.

It's no wonder, he was diminished by the cw when they brought in brennan. He has to sit there looking like a third wheel while the cw pick struts his stuff. JMOO

Brennan says their expert is still reviewing the ARCCA subject materials - additional studies, demonstrations and experiments that are being allowed in court. He says their expert wants to conduct their own experts. He wants their expert to be able to review all subject materials and that ‘none of that is going to happen anytime soon’. He says their expert will not be able to testify anytime soon.

Hank wants his expert to be able to follow up on ARCCA AFTER the defense gives their case. Basically, he wants the final word.

God, Brennan is a drama queen.

 

[kuromiiiilove]

Alessi is speaking on ARCCA’s new information. Again, saying their testing is in response to Aperture testing. They didn’t come up with new approaches. Their new materials are to rebut Apertures testing.

In regard to the time period, Alessi says Judge Cannone already determined that the deadline for new info from ARCCA was May 7, and they met that deadline. Alessi is saying that continuous remedies by the CW is not reasonable.

 

[Soulmagent]

This time change would make the defence have to call witness and restart questioning people to this end..This is wild and very unfair.

 

[Angelwatch]

CW admitting their timing was wrong. When things weren't making sense with timing, they went back to their expert and asked them to try and reconcile it. I'd point out that if the events weren't adding up, they shouldn't have gone forward with the case. They were more than willing to convict KR on evidence that didn't add up. This trial is a circus.

 

[kuromiiiilove]

Last two points from Alessi.

He says what Hank is seeking is improper - an extraordinary situation where Aperture can come before the jury, testify to certain things, have ARCCA come on, and then have Aperture come back and have a rebuttal to a rebuttal. He says it inverts the order of proof and prejudices the defendant, giving the CW a re-rebuttal.

Alessi says that if Judge Cannone was inclined to give Aperture more time, that they should follow proper orders of proof. Determine when Aperture can complete their review of ARCCA’s work, and keep the order of CW first, then defense.

Truly insane ask from Brennan.

 

[kuromiiiilove]

Alessi says their defense case will likely take a week to a week and a half. He also says they haven’t made a final decision on when ARCCA will testify, but it will be towards the end of the defense case.

Right. Timing is the basis of the entire defense case. Absurd for the CW to ask to change it halfway through the trial.

 

[MerlinFalcon]

I really hope she doesn’t declare a mistrial. This is all costing Karen a fortune. I know her lawyers aren’t charging her but she has so many expenses and can they keep working for free indefinitely?

 

[Elliot_Alderson]

Right. Timing is the basis of the entire defense case. Absurd for the CW to ask to change it halfway through the trial.

And why did he just bring this up today? Because they got their rear ends handed to 'em in court? JMO

Exactly. The defense has done such a good job that the CW knows they won't convict on their current theory.

It did scream that to me personally, no way around it. IMO.

Gotta get the last word in somehow. We just saw that same nasty streak in him today when he was asking the ME about the ‘I hit him/did i hit him?’ Hearsay.

Very shocking to hear that all really, from him. Sounded whacky. IMO

‘The DA has been entirely sandbagged the defense with this mid-trial "amended report." This is an absolute joke and as dirty as it gets. Brennan's claim that he can continue to work on his case is absurd--they are on trial and the defense has relied on the prior expert reports. They admit amending the report to sync to what Whiffin said. The defense relied on the original information, strategized on it and conducted examinations in reliance on it. This changes EVERYTHING and cannot be cured. The prejudice is off the charts. Karen Read MUST move for an immediate mistrial unless the court immediately reject the amended report. Unbelievable that the Court doesn't see "grave concerns" here. This case is a DISGRACE and national embarrassment!’

Absolutely. Some people can drink a lot and appear to be perfectly fine. Others can't. For example I have a pretty high tolerance for my weight class and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, years in the restaurant and bar business have contributed to that. I can drink a lot and appear pretty normal. My sister can as well. My Mom on the other hand? She would get a half glass of Prosecco in her and be completely sloppy and then claim she was hungover in the morning hahaha!! I think part of it is psychical and a part chemical.

However the chemical doesn't lie. Your Blood/Alcohol level is what it is and you're ability to appear "perfectly fine" isn't going to hold up in a court of law. There is knowing how to deal with your drunkeness, which may get you out of being tested, but if you're tested, you're likely going to be arrested. At least that's how I've always looked at it. The key is to not drink and drive in the 1st place.

Not to mention that a .28 BAC is very high and I think anyone at that level would be showing impairment. Given what KR drank and her size, she was probably at least that high. Neither should have been driving.
