The Retrial of Karen Read began on Tuesday, April 22, 2025. Trial One started on April 29th, 2024. Day One focused on Jury Instructions, Opening Statements and First Witnesses.
The Prosecution's Opening Statement was done by Hank Brennan and considered better than in the previous trial done by Adam Lally. Brennan focused on Karen Read's statements, suggesting she was covering things up and knew where John O'Keefe was because she left him there. They played a video interview statement where Karen Read said John O'Keefe was not mortally wounded when she last saw him. The Defense's Opening Statements was conducted by Alan Jackson instead of David Yannetti who did it the first time. Jackson simplified their defense, asserting that John O'Keeffe was not hit by a car. They focused on the lack of proper investigation at 34 Fairview Rd and evidence that they believe will support their claim. The Defense brought up Former Trooper Michael Proctor, which the prosecution did not mention.
The first witness was firefighter/paramedic Timothy Nuttall, whose testimony about when Karen Read said, "I hit him," was discussed, including discrepancies and potential memory issues. The second witness was Kerry Roberts, who was with Jen McCabe and Karen Read at 34 Fairview when John O'Keefe's body was found. Her testimony was stopped as she described Karen Reed running towards a mound of snow.
At the end of the day, Judge Cannone held a hearing outside of the presence of the Jury regarding the Prosecution’s Motion to Compel ARCCA. The Judge determine that the Defense committed a Discovery Violation and scheduled Friday, April 25, 2025, to Voir Dire ARCCA witnesses.
The Retrial is expected to last 6 to 8 weeks.
