NOT GUILTY MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #38 Retrial

[Luna20]

5/24/24

During cross-examination, Jackson grilled Higgins on his whereabouts and phone records in the hours and days after O’Keefe died. Higgins confirmed that on Jan. 30, 2022, he sought advice about phone data extraction from his best friend, a fellow ATF agent who works in the FBI’s regional computer forensics lab.

“I asked him how I could pull text strings off my cellular telephone for the purpose of providing them to law enforcement,” Higgins testified, later acknowledging that he could have also turned the entire device over to police.

He confirmed that he visited the forensics lab and used a “kiosk” in an unrestricted area to pull information from his phone. Jackson pressed Higgins on whether he was aware that federal regulations bar the use of one’s public office for private gain. Higgins said he wasn’t aware. He also testified that he no longer has the same phone he did in 2022.

“You’ve destroyed that phone, haven’t you?” Jackson asked.

“No, I threw the phone away,” Higgins said.

“Well, that’s destroying the phone, isn’t it?” Jackson countered.

“I had every right to do that,” Higgins maintained.

He said to the best of his recollection, “When I threw it away, if I was going to take [the SIM card] out, I would break it or cut it. But I did not wipe the phone. I did not take anything else off it. But if I was going to throw the phone away, that’s what I would’ve done.”

Karen Read trial: Defense grills Brian Higgins on the fate of his cellphone, SIM card

What happened to the text strings that he ‘wanted’ to provide for LE? As if a police officer isn’t going to wipe their phone and remove the SIM.

Last paragraph: “when I threw it away”
Last sentence: “but ‘if’ I was going to throw the phone away”

Am I missing something? If or when? Did he or didn’t he? I’m having a “false memory” about this.

With her high-profile criminal case concluded, Karen Read is now pushing for the return of her personal property, including three cell phones and a Lexus SUV valued at approximately $60,000, all of which were seized by the Massachusetts State Police.

Steve Boozang, a Dedham-based defense attorney who recently joined Read’s legal team, has filed two motions seeking their immediate return.

“I put a call in to the Norfolk DA’s office and inquired about getting back the personal cell phone as well as the car,” stated Boozang.


“When I didn’t hear back after a month, it was time to... file a motion and let a judge order the items to be returned.”

The DA cannot continue hiding his head in the sand. There is zero reason why KR's property is not returned. ( Other than the DA and co is so afraid of all that is coming down). Those requested Sidebar transcripts ought to be very forthcoming, in light of the pending Civil Case....(and others) pending...

Eagerly waiting
MOO

He and ELiz Little are joining Karens attorneys for the civil case. He had basically -no comment, cannot talk about that- when asked about whether there will be a federal case filed also. I think there will be a suit Federally no question but thats just me.

IMO all the rest of the interview was stuff we have already heard. Just a kind of debrief after the trials. He was fairly confident that the civl trial will not be streamed.

He also said that a lot of the evidence they wanted to present that Judge Cannone would not allow will be introduced at the civil trial. The video's inside 34 Fairview etc.

Curious why AJ doesn't think the civil trial will be televised even though as he said nobody has asked.
It is ultimately up to the judge.

Oooooo! I only heard a couple of minutes. Can’t wait to hear about what evidence they have from inside the house.

There were videos out there on social media of AJ along with I think their PI at 34 Fairview - inside the garage/inside the basement - outside the house /calling up to the bedroom window of the owner to see how sound travels - . Google around - they are easy to find and were prob already on here somewhere in a video with LYK etc.
Alan also said there are more things/evidence that the judge would not allow for the criminal case that he believes will be allowable at the civl trial.
I think the evidence and testimonies in the civil trial will further open up the can of worms already opened by the two trials and def carrve a trail to a federal filing.

I think he said normally the court does not live stream civil trials / he is unaware that a request has even been made to have it live streamed...and then called it unlikely.
thats my recollection - a recording of the full show is on the website I will repost.
Interview was at about 830 am so a little over halfway into todays show - have a listen

I’ve seen the videos of the “Paint” in the garage. But is that evidence? I wonder if they tested it. I hope there is more!

"At the beginning of the hearing, Civil Service Commission Chair Christopher C. Bowman said recording or transcribing the hearing was prohibited. One of Proctor’s lawyers also inquired about the possibility of closing future aspects of the case to the public.

Proctor is expected to appear again before the Civil Service Commission later this month as the case continues."

I don't think Proctor is getting his job back but why the need for secrecy ? No recording of the proceedings and now they want to totally close off to the public ? Why not just make it look shady LOL!!

Michael Proctor’s bid to get job back two-pronged

Proctor’s lawyer, Daniel J. Moynihan, indicated Proctor’s firing lacked “just cause” and that he has been treated unfairly compared to other troopers.
