Blayne Alexander sits down with Andrea Canning to talk about her latest episode, “Center of the Storm.”  The 2024 trial of Karen Read garnered national attention as she fought allegations that in 2022, she drunkenly backed her SUV into her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, and left him to die in the snow. After the jury was unable to reach a verdict, the judge declared a mistrial.This year, Read went back on trial and a new jury did deliver a verdict. Andrea tells Blayne what it was like at the courthouse when the verdict was read. She also discusses her interview with Michael Proctor, the former state trooper who the defense accused of having framed Read as part of a coverup. Plus, Andrea shares two podcast-exclusive clips: the first from her interview with Proctor, and the second from her interview with one of John O'Keefe's family members after the verdict.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/i7IdKgUQoDUAfter Karen Read was acquitted of the Murder charges on June 18, 2025, Michael Proctor, The Alberts & McCabes attended video interviews.Michael Proctor was Interviewed by 20/20. He addresses his strong negative feelings and derogatory comments about Karen Read, stating they developed as the case progressed, but admits they were regrettable. Proctor denies planting evidence, calling it a ridiculous accusation. He believes the negative perception from the public is a "loud minority" and maintains he would do nothing differently in the investigation, attributing any issues to the "crazy crazy so-called conspiracy" online rather than acknowledging any potential flaws in his own work. There was a lack of remorse from Proctor for potentially tainting the investigation and no apology to Karen Read. He believes he was unfairly fired for personal texts and that his union rep took his uniforms.Brian, Nicole and Chris Albert were interviewed together with Jen and Matt McCabe by ABC's Nightline. Brian Albert's lack of curiosity and inaction given the situation, especially as a Boston police officer, despite not being Canton PD. Brian's response essentially was, "Why would I go out there?" Brian Albert also describes Jen McCabe barging into his room early in the morning but there was no mention in their recounting of the morning about wrangling the dog. Ultimately, the families felt like they were not protect by the judicial process and told the audience to think twice before becoming a witness in a trial. That is not sound advice as there are consequences for not cooperating with a subpoena. There was a lot of frustration with the clipped nature of the interviews and the perceived lack of accountability or self-reflection from the interviewees. The witnesses seem to be focusing on the "straw man" of public conspiracy theories rather than addressing odd behavior or a poor investigation, leading to unanswered questions.RESOURCESThe Alberts & McCabes Interview from ABC Nightline – https://youtu.be/yIrVOSbx9gMDid Proctor Plant Evidence? https://youtu.be/qZDx1lCJFZY Michael Proctor Wouldn't Change Anything - https://youtu.be/oiuKayU6UQoThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Karen Read or Cover-Up? Why Jurors Had Reasonable Doubt Description: Was this a case of guilt—or just too many unanswered questions? In this installment of Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to examine the roots of the reasonable doubt that ultimately led jurors to acquit Karen Read of murder and manslaughter charges in the death of Officer John O'Keefe. From the very beginning, the case was fraught with complications: a flawed investigation, internal police drama, and key witnesses who never took the stand. Coffindaffer highlights the law enforcement missteps that contributed to the doubt—such as the dismissal of lead investigator Michael Proctor, inconsistencies in forensic data, and the lack of direct evidence placing Read at the scene of the collision. We also explore the optics that fueled public skepticism: Why did no one inside 34 Fairview Road come outside when O'Keefe was allegedly dying in the snow? Why were cell phones discarded just before they were to be turned over to investigators? And why were rebuttal witnesses, including crash reconstructionists and a second medical examiner, left out of the prosecution's final presentation? This episode is a forensic and legal deep dive into how perception, silence, and investigative gaps created a perfect storm of doubt. As Coffindaffer notes, sometimes it's not what the jury sees—it's what they don't see that changes everything.

Karen Read Trial Aftermath: Breaking Down Albert's & Proctor's ABC Interviews Description: In this episode, we unpack two pivotal ABC 20/20 interviews that unfolded in the immediate aftermath of Karen Read's acquittal on second-degree murder charges for the 2022 death of her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. Firstly, crime scene host Matt Gutman sits down with Michael Proctor — the now-disgraced former Massachusetts State Trooper who led the original investigation and was later dismissed after a string of shocking, misogynistic text messages about Read were made public. Proctor candidly addresses every major controversy: from the crudeness of his private texts to the explosive accusations that he may have tampered with evidence—such as the taillight of Read's vehicle. He refutes all conspiratorial claims, insisting there was “no conspiracy” and that his investigative methods followed protocol, even conceding that perhaps “we could have looked at other people's cars just to say we did it” to avoid the conspiracy narrative. Secondly, we break down an insightful interview with Brian Albert, whose suburban Canton home was the scene of that tragic night when O'Keefe's body was found in the snow. Albert weighs in on the defensive theory that O'Keefe was injured inside the house—possibly during a physical altercation or dog attack—and then staged to implicate Read. His ABC segment adds emotional depth and scrutiny as he voices lingering concerns over jurors' doubt and calls the verdict “a devastating miscarriage of justice” . Through extensive analysis, this episode contrasts Proctor's steadfast defense of his legitimacy with Albert's heartfelt challenge to the acquittal. We proceed chronologically: evaluating the strongest rebuttals Proctor issues, the live reactions from both the investigator and the victim's inner circle, and how these interviews shape public and legal discourse around the case. We also assess the broader implications—how Proctor's firing and testimony may impact police accountability reforms, and whether Albert's spotlight will pressure the ongoing civil lawsuit filed by O'Keefe's family. Listeners will come away with a nuanced understanding of the emotions, contradictions, and lasting tensions that persist after one of Massachusetts' most divisive trials. This is more than a post-trial recap—it's a layered examination of power, perception, and the pursuit of justice.

Karen Read Found Not Guilty - Live Coverage As It Happened  In a dramatic conclusion to one of Massachusetts' most controversial cases, a jury today delivered a split verdict in Karen Read's second murder trial. Read was found NOT GUILTY of second-degree murder in the death of her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, but was convicted on the lesser charge of operating under the influence. After three full days of deliberations and multiple questions to the judge about verdict forms and hung jury procedures, the jury acquitted Read on the most serious charge that could have sent her to prison for life. They also cleared her of other charges but found her guilty of drunk driving. The verdict comes after more than a month of testimony in Read's retrial, following a mistrial last year when jurors couldn't reach unanimous agreement. This case has deeply divided the community, with pink-clad supporters gathering daily outside the courthouse, convinced that Read was framed in a police conspiracy. Prosecutors had argued that Read, intoxicated after a night of drinking, struck O'Keefe with her Lexus SUV outside a Canton house party in January 2022 and left him to die in the snow. The defense maintained that O'Keefe was beaten inside the home, possibly bitten by a dog, and that corrupt police officers orchestrated a cover-up to protect their own. The case gained national attention partly due to revelations about lead investigator Michael Proctor, who was fired after offensive text messages about Read came to light. Defense attorneys argued his bias tainted the entire investigation. Today's verdict represents a partial victory for Read and her legal team, who successfully convinced jurors to reject the prosecution's murder theory while acknowledging her impaired driving that night.    Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Karen Read Trial: Jury From & Closing Argument Breakdown In this comprehensive episode, we break down the crucial jury instructions and analyze the dramatically different closing arguments presented in the Karen Read murder retrial. After 31 days of testimony from 50 witnesses, Judge Beverly Cannone spent over an hour instructing the jury on how to apply the law to the facts of this case that has captivated Massachusetts and beyond. We examine the specific jury instructions given for each charge Karen Read faces: second-degree murder, manslaughter, and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death. The episode details how Judge Cannone explained the concept of reasonable doubt, the Commonwealth's burden of proof, and what elements must be proven for each charge. We discuss how the judge instructed jurors to consider evidence of intoxication, intent, and whether Read's actions directly caused John O'Keefe's death on that snowy January night in 2022. The episode then provides a detailed comparison of the closing arguments. Defense attorney Alan Jackson's hour and twenty-six minute presentation began with him declaring three times "there was no collision" and painting a picture of police corruption and cover-up. In contrast, prosecutor Hank Brennan's closing repeatedly emphasized that Read was "drunk, she hit him, then she left him to die," focusing on physical evidence and Read's own statements at the scene. We analyze the strategic decisions made by both sides, including Jackson's heavy focus on discredited investigator Michael Proctor versus Brennan's emphasis on cell phone data showing O'Keefe never entered the Albert home. The discussion covers how each attorney addressed the controversial evidence, from taillight pieces to dog bite theories, and how they framed Read's "I hit him" statements - as either confused questions or guilty admissions. #KarenRead #JuryInstructions #ClosingArguments #JohnOKeefe #MurderTrial #CourtTV #JudgeCannone #AlanJackson #HankBrennan #JuryDeliberations #SecondDegreeMurder #Manslaughter #ReasonableDoubt #TrialAnalysis #LegalBreakdown #BostonPolice #CantonMA #BigBreakdown #VerdictWatch Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Karen Read Closing Arguments In Full From Defense Attorney Alan Jackson In this comprehensive episode, we present defense attorney Alan Jackson's complete closing argument in the Karen Read murder retrial, where he attempts to counter the prosecution's evidence that Read struck and killed her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, with her SUV in January 2022. Jackson, known for his theatrical courtroom style, delivered an hour and twenty-six minute presentation that challenged the Commonwealth's case while the prosecution maintains Read was intoxicated and left O'Keefe to die in the snow. Jackson opened by repeating three times: "There was no collision," directly contradicting the prosecution's physical evidence including taillight fragments found at the scene and damage to Read's vehicle. The defense attorney focused heavily on attacking the credibility of lead investigator Michael Proctor, who was terminated for misconduct after the first trial. However, prosecutors argue that Proctor's personal failings don't negate the physical evidence or witness testimony supporting their case. Jackson attempted to explain away Read's own statements at the scene, where multiple first responders heard her say "I hit him." While Jackson characterized these as confused questions, prosecutors maintain these were admissions of guilt from someone who knew what she had done. The defense presented an alternative theory involving a fight inside the Albert home, though prosecutors note that O'Keefe's phone data shows he never entered the house and stopped moving outside where his body was found. Jackson concluded dramatically: "Find Karen Read not guilty, not guilty, not guilty." Throughout the retrial, prosecutors have presented forensic evidence, witness testimony, and Read's own angry voicemails to O'Keefe that night, building their case that she struck him during a drunken rage. This episode provides viewers with Jackson's full defense strategy as the jury weighs whether the prosecution has proven guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. #KarenRead #AlanJackson #ClosingArguments #JohnOKeefe #MurderTrial #CourtTV #BostonPolice #CantonMA #TrueCrime #Retrial #CommonwealthVsRead #JusticeForJohnOKeefe #Prosecution #Defense #TrialCoverage #VehicularHomicide #NorfolkCounty #LegalAnalysis #BigBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Karen Read Trial FULL Closing Arguments From Hank Brennan Prosecution In this critical episode, we present Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan's complete closing argument in the Karen Read murder retrial, where he methodically builds the Commonwealth's case that Read struck and killed her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, with her SUV in January 2022. Brennan, the seasoned attorney brought in specifically for the retrial, delivered an hour and twenty minute presentation that wove together witness testimony, forensic evidence, and Read's own words to argue she committed second-degree murder. "She was drunk, she hit him, and she left him to die," Brennan stated emphatically, repeating this phrase multiple times throughout his closing. The prosecutor painted O'Keefe as "a good man" who "helped people," noting how he took in his orphaned niece and nephew, before arguing that on the night of his death, it was O'Keefe who needed help—and Read chose to abandon him. Central to Brennan's argument was the physical and digital evidence. He presented data from Read's Lexus showing she reversed at 24 mph with 74% throttle pressure, combined with O'Keefe's phone data showing he exited the vehicle and never moved again after the alleged collision. "We know in that window she hits him, because he never moves again," Brennan argued, using the technical data to pinpoint the exact moment of impact. He emphasized the debris field of taillight fragments found at the scene as irrefutable proof of a collision. Brennan effectively used Read's own statements against her, playing video clips from her media interviews where she questioned "Could I have hit him? Did I hit him?" and acknowledged she could have "clipped him." He contrasted this with multiple first responders who testified they heard Read repeatedly say "I hit him" at the scene. The prosecutor argued these weren't questions but admissions from someone "coming to terms with the moment." Addressing the defense's conspiracy theory head-on, Brennan acknowledged former lead investigator Michael Proctor's "distasteful" and "dishonorable" conduct but argued it didn't negate the physical evidence or testimony from "independent core people" who witnessed Read's statements. He dismissed claims of a cover-up as incompatible with the testimony of paramedics and firefighters he called "heroes" who were simply doing their jobs. In his powerful conclusion, Brennan displayed a photo of O'Keefe and declared: "John O'Keefe is not a body. John O'Keefe is not a buffalo on a prairie. He was a person, and he was murdered by Karen Read." This complete presentation showcases Brennan's prosecutorial strategy of combining technical evidence with emotional appeals to secure a conviction. #KarenRead #HankBrennan #ClosingArguments #Prosecution #JohnOKeefe #MurderTrial #CourtTV #Commonwealth #SecondDegreeMurder #BostonPolice #CantonMA #TrueCrime #JusticeForJohnOKeefe #Retrial #VehicularHomicide #ForensicEvidence #TrialCoverage #NorfolkCounty #LegalAnalysis #BigBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Karen Read's Defense CRUMBLES: Judge Rules No Evidence of Police Conspiracy Justice moved closer for fallen Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe today as Judge Beverly Cannone demolished Karen Read's baseless conspiracy defense. In a pivotal June 12, 2025 ruling, the judge found ZERO evidence supporting Read's wild claims that Officer O'Keefe was murdered by other people and she was framed in an elaborate police cover-up. The prosecution's case remains rock solid: Karen Read, intoxicated after drinking at multiple bars, deliberately reversed her Lexus SUV at 24 mph into her boyfriend during a violent argument, then fled the scene leaving him to die in a snowbank. The defense's desperate attempt to blame homeowner Brian Albert and ATF agent Brian Higgins was rejected by Judge Cannone, who found no evidence either man had any motive to harm Officer O'Keefe. Defense attorney David Yannetti's last-ditch motion for directed verdict was swiftly denied, with prosecutors highlighting the defense witnesses' "conflicting testimony" and obvious "bias and advocacy." The defense's failure to call Brian Albert, Brian Higgins, or even fired investigator Michael Proctor to testify speaks volumes - they knew these witnesses would destroy their conspiracy fiction. This video analyzes why the judge correctly limited the defense's ability to falsely accuse innocent law enforcement officers of murder. We examine the solid evidence showing Read's guilt: her intoxication, the couple's deteriorating relationship, the physical evidence of vehicular homicide, and her consciousness of guilt in fleeing the scene. As closing arguments approach Friday morning, the prosecution stands ready to secure justice for Officer John O'Keefe. Assistant District Attorney Adam Lally and Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan will present the clear, compelling case against Karen Read, who faces second-degree murder charges and life in prison for her heinous crime. The defense's conspiracy theory has crumbled. The evidence is overwhelming. It's time for the jury to deliver justice for a fallen hero who deserved better than being left to die by someone who claimed to love him. #JusticeForJohnOKeefe #KarenReadGuilty #OfficerDown #KarenReadTrial #ThinBlueLine #BackTheBlue #BostonPolice #MurderTrial #DrunkDriving #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

The defense's failure to call Brian Albert, Brian Higgins, or even fired investigator Michael Proctor to testify speaks volumes - they knew these witnesses would destroy their conspiracy fiction. This video analyzes why the judge correctly limited the defense's ability to falsely accuse innocent law enforcement officers of murder. We examine the solid evidence showing Read's guilt: her intoxication, the couple's deteriorating relationship, the physical evidence of vehicular homicide, and her consciousness of guilt in fleeing the scene. As closing arguments approach Friday morning, the prosecution stands ready to secure justice for Officer John O'Keefe. Assistant District Attorney Adam Lally and Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan will present the clear, compelling case against Karen Read, who faces second-degree murder charges and life in prison for her heinous crime. The defense's conspiracy theory has crumbled. The evidence is overwhelming. It's time for the jury to deliver justice for a fallen hero who deserved better than being left to die by someone who claimed to love him. #JusticeForJohnOKeefe #KarenReadGuilty #OfficerDown #KarenReadTrial #ThinBlueLine #BackTheBlue #BostonPolice #MurderTrial #DrunkDriving #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Karen Read Trial - Michael Proctor's Texts Read By Friend Description: In a dramatic twist, texts from Trooper Michael Proctor — the lead investigator in the case — are read aloud by a friend. These messages, which contain vulgar language and comments about Karen Read, have become a flashpoint in the trial. Are they evidence of bias or just bad taste?

Defense Case Starts and they don't want to call Proctor | Case Brief Watch the full coverage of the live stream on @TheEmilyDBaker YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/0Coi3nBtXcQ?si=5VFXwAl2xxgxxDpBDay 24 of the Karen Read retrial focuses on the defense's case and a motion to dismiss. Initially, the motion to dismiss is discussed, highlighting how it is generally denied unless there's a complete lack of evidence. The court typically favors the prosecution's evidence for this motion. The defense then presents its first witness, a tech expert and accident reconstructionist, who analyzes reports from Burgess and Welchure. The expert discusses the timing of the text stream event (1162-2), the backing event of Karen Read's vehicle, and John O'Keefe's phone time. He simplifies complex slides and presents 30 different timing possibilities between the Lexus text stream time and O'Keefe's phone. He points out that three of these possibilities show the text stream event ending after O'Keefe's phone's last manual button click. The expert also addresses whether Karen Read's car ever registered a collision in its data, concluding there was no registration of a collision during relevant trigger events. Cross-examination by Brennan explores the expert's reliance on others' data and whether the Lexus ever registered a collision before. It is clarified that the system is geared toward vehicle-to-vehicle collisions, not vehicle-to-pedestrian ones. Further discussion includes a second chip-off procedure and an SD card found with date and time information, clarifying the timing of key cycles. Brennan's cross-examination also focuses on a chart of infotainment calls and the expert's understanding and assumptions about the data. The discussion highlights that the expert agrees the closest points in time to the 11622 event, specifically the three-point turn maneuver, are the most reliable for syncing the clocks. The day ends with discussion about Michael Proctor's text threads and the defense's attempt to authenticate them without calling Proctor as a witness. The Commonwealth argues Proctor needs to be called for cross-examination. The judge reserves a ruling on this matter.

Karen Read and her lawyers have based their defense on Michael Proctor. Why won't they call him to the stand? Instead they are attempting to admit Proctor's mean texts via his childhood friend who was in the group text grouped named Jonathan Diamandis. Why is Karen Read and her lawyers silencing Michael Proctor? Also, Matthew DiSorga is the first witness for Karen Read.

Karen Read Trial Day 21 - Reasonable Doubt Is Gone, Data Shows Karen's SUV Struck John O'Keefe In today's explosive courtroom session in the Karen Read trial, we dive deep into the forensic testimony of Dr. Judson Welcher—an accident reconstruction expert whose analysis may be the most critical evidence presented so far. At the center of it all: vehicle data showing Karen Read's Lexus SUV hitting 74% throttle in reverse, accelerating backward at nearly 24 mph outside 34 Fairview Road—the exact time prosecutors allege she struck Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe and left him to die in the snow. Welcher didn't just analyze the black box data—he recreated the scenario. Wearing similar clothing and holding a glass like the one O'Keefe had that night, he demonstrated how red paint from a Lexus taillight transferred exactly to the spot where O'Keefe had a deep arm laceration. He matched that with hip and head injuries, dismantling theories of a dog attack or indoor altercation. His conclusion? The SUV's motion and O'Keefe's injuries aligned with a sideswipe-style impact. But the day didn't stop at science. The defense launched a counterattack, filing new witnesses to authenticate hostile texts from former lead investigator Michael Proctor—texts like “hopefully she kills herself.” They argued this shows investigative bias. Meanwhile, they fought to keep Welcher from stating outright that a collision occurred, calling it jury overreach. Judge Cannone deferred a ruling. This video breaks down the full day of courtroom drama, forensic testimony, legal chess, and how this moment could turn the entire trial. #KarenReadTrial #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrime #ForensicEvidence #LexusSUV #AccidentReconstruction #TrooperProctor #CrimeScene #LegalDrama #PoliceCoverUp Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Will The Jury Understand Michael Proctor's Disdain for Karen Read This Time? Michael Proctor may not be on the prosecution's witness list, but his presence looms large over the Karen Read trial. In this episode, Bob Motta and Tony Brueski analyze the explosive text messages, the professional fallout, and the deep personal contempt Proctor seemed to harbor for Karen Read. The big question: will jurors see his bias for what it is — or will they relate to it? Tony makes a controversial but intriguing point: if the prosecution has already made Karen Read look like a highly unlikable person, then Proctor's attitude may feel relatable to the jury. They may not like how he said it — but they might get why he said it. Motta pushes back, arguing that Proctor is a textbook example of tunnel vision, and that his venomous language (“That bitch is going down”) reflects not passion for justice but prejudice. More importantly, his bias infected the investigation from day one. The two go deep on what it means to be a “hired gun,” how Proctor's credibility was destroyed in the first trial, and why the prosecution would rather let the defense call him than risk their own case imploding. This episode is a masterclass in understanding law enforcement bias, jury psychology, and how a single investigator's ego might jeopardize an entire murder conviction.

Yuri Bukhenik Testimony concluded today. Topics discussed included accessing Michael Proctor accessing the Ring app on John O'Keefe's cell phone instead of an image of his phone, context of the derogatory text messages by Michael Proctor and Bukhenik's glowing performance review of Michael Proctor despite acknowledging those vile messages.The defense questioned Sergeant Buchanan about Brian Higgins' movements and activities in the early morning hours, based on video footage. They also inquired about the investigation's handling of Higgins' text messages and potential motives.The defense highlighted areas they believed the investigation did not adequately explore, such as Higgins' potential jealousy and his whereabouts at the time of the incident. Discussion also revolved around text messages between Higgins and the Read, and whether the police properly verified those messages.The court has not yet made a decision on motions filed by the Commonwealth, including motions to preclude hearsay and introduce evidence about the relationship between the defendant and the victim. If granted, the witnesses at the Aruba trip could be called in to testify.RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Week 3 of the Karen Read trial was packed with twists; witnesses challenged whether Michael Proctor was even the lead investigator, and the courtroom was buzzing over solo cups, leaf blowers, and yet another butt dial. Witnesses began subtly (but noticeably) distancing themselves from the Albert family, casting doubt on previous alliances. Tensions are rising, timelines are being questioned, and this case is getting messier by the minute. We're attending the trial in person and live streaming it daily on my YouTube channel 10 to LIFE, with full recaps every Friday. Make sure to subscribe and follow so you never miss an update.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/Tag0fJcx9ZIDay 12 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 8, 2025. Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik was the only witness to take the stand as he walked in with bins of evidence. There was confusion regarding John O'Keefe's sneakers being initially misidentified a being the one from from 34 Fairview versus from the hospital. Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan and Bukhenik talked briefly in the beginning about Proctor, calling him Mr. Proctor instead of Trooper Proctor but we know Defense Attorney Alan Jackson will call him Former Trooper Proctor. Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik explained that there was an investigation against him due to failure to properly Supervise Michael Proctor. His punishment was that he lost 5 vacation days. He continues to work in homicide and has not been demoted from Sargent. When Bukhenik read the text message thread from Proctor, which contained horrible messages that he said he acknowledged with a thumbs up emoji, we can only image what was going through the jurors minds.Bukhenik presented a video timeline of Karen Read drinking at CF McCarthy's and The Waterfall before we got to Cross Examination!Sgt. Bukhenik refused to call Proctor the Lead Investigator of this case and said he was only a "Case Agent' and/or "Case Officer." He was questioned about the integrity of the investigation and whether Michael Proctor's involvement tainted it, to which he responded that the investigation was done with honor and integrity. When asked if Proctor handled the case with honor and integrity, Bukhenik relented and only said yes with integrity. Access to evidence, specifically John O'Keefe's clothing, was discussed, noting that "anyone with a key card" had access to the room where it was stored for six days.The timing and documentation of evidence collection, particularly clothing and items from 34 Fairview, were questioned. It was noted that reports about the searches weren't written until November 4th, 2023, despite the events happening in February 2022!RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Connecting the Dots: Sgt. Bukhenik Says Karen Read's Car Caused O'Keefe's Injuries In the second half of his direct examination, Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik doubled down on the prosecution's theory: that Karen Read backed her Lexus SUV into Officer John O'Keefe during a drunken drop-off, causing the injuries that ultimately led to his death. Bukhenik meticulously detailed how forensic evidence aligned with that theory—including blood spatter patterns, taillight fragments, and O'Keefe's positioning in the snow. Jurors heard how Bukhenik traced a red trail leading from the back of Read's SUV to where O'Keefe's body was found, suggesting he was dragged or stumbled before collapsing. He claimed the physical evidence contradicted the defense's theory that O'Keefe was attacked inside the home at 34 Fairview. According to Bukhenik, everything—from the crushed snow to the angle of the broken glass—pointed to vehicular trauma. This testimony was critical in reinforcing the prosecution's case, but it wasn't without problems. While Bukhenik projected confidence and precision, some observers noted an undercurrent of discomfort—perhaps due to questions swirling around the Massachusetts State Police and the now-terminated lead investigator, Michael Proctor. Still, Bukhenik's words gave the state something they desperately needed: an officer with credentials and authority willing to stand behind the theory that Karen Read killed John O'Keefe with her car. Whether jurors buy it is another matter entirely.
