Dighton police officer Nicholas Barros took the stand prior to Proctor for less than 15 minutes. He was on scene when Read's vehicle was towed from her parents' home.
The vehicle was towed the afternoon of January 29, 2022, several hours after O'Keefe's body was found. Prosecutors attempted to show that the SUV was damaged before police had access to it.
"I saw that there was some damage to the right rear taillight," Barros testified.
He said the taillight was cracked, a piece was missing, but it was not completely damaged. In addition, he said there was a dent "in conjunction with the taillight" in the same area.
Defense attorneys did not have any questions for Barros.
Karen Read's high-profile Massachusetts murder trial resumed on Monday with lead investigator Michael Proctor on the stand.
