Defense to reopen the cross -question of the most important witness in Karen Read Mord Trial

An essential witness in the repetition of Karen Read is said to return to the stand on Friday, as the certificate will continue in the top -class murder case.

Read, 45, from Mansfield, a former additional professor at Bentley University, noticed his second degree murder and other charges for the death of her friend, the Boston police officer John O’keefe. Her first trial ended with a suspended jury.

Jennifer McCabe’s cross -life will resume when the eighth day of the certificate begins.

McCabe informed the jurors on Wednesday that she met Read and O’keefe in a bar and later saw Reads SUV outside the 34 Fairview Road. She also said that the next morning she was with Read when she found O’keefe in the snow.

Defense lawyer Alan Jackson insisted that McCabe had lied and changed her story. Jackson repeatedly referred to McCabe’s certificate from Grand Jury and highlighted the discrepancies of her memory of Read’s alleged statement “I did it”.

McCabe claimed that she had read how she heard the explanation, but admitted uncertainty about whether she passed it on to the Grand jury.

“Every policeman I spoke to, I tried to answer his questions as much as possible,” said McCabe. “I took hours and in some cases for days to remember all the things that Mrs. Read said. My mind was in a state of shock. But when I remember, she said ‘I beat him, I beat him, I beat him.

Jackson also examined McCabes relationships with the public prosecutor. However, she admitted to meeting the prosecutors several times and observing their earlier testimony, but denied her testimony to be cheaper.

In addition, Jackson asked about her connections to the Albert family and emphasized their connections to law enforcement authorities and the local government. He also asked her after her conversations with other witnesses, which indicates a possible influence on her perceptions.

What to know about the case:

Karen Read, 45, from Mansfield, noticed not guilty of conquering the second degree murder and other charges. The public prosecutor said she had beat her friend, Boston police officer John O’keefe, with her vehicle outside a house in Canton during a snow storm on January 29, 2022.

The defense focused on allegations of a cover -up in which members of several law enforcement authorities were involved. They say that O’keefe was beaten in the house, bitten by a dog and then left outside.

The testimony in Read’s first attempt began on April 29, 2024 after opening statements. It ended on July 1, when the jurors gave to be hopelessly coordinated, and a Mistrial was explained.

Read’s team swores to continue fighting, and their defense has led a considerable struggle in several courts and tried to let charges fall or to accuse the case completely. In the meantime, a federal investigation of the case was concluded without being charged against the police.

Ultimately, the selection of the jury for Reads began to resumption on April 1 and continued until April 15th. Eighteen jurors were selected and 12 of them will think about the judgments. Alternatives are selected and separated by the deliberate jurors before the start of the consultations.
