Karen Read is back in court for a Daubert Hearing. Dr. Russell is the Defense Expert Witness and is being questioned by both the Defense and the Prosecution to see if the testimony should come into the Re-Trial. Dr. Russell explained why she thinks the marks on John O'Keefe are specifically from a dog attack which is different than what she said on the stand in the first trial when she said it might be from a dog bite. The Prosecution was not done questioning Dr. Russell but it was time for court to end. It is scheduled to resume on Jan 7th, 2025, at 9am ET.

A Daubert Hearing is used to challenge an expert witness. The Judge acts as the gatekeeper of the evidence when determining if there is sufficient reliability for admissibility under FRE 702. The court can examine the methodology and reasoning behind the expert's opinion.
