Today, Tab recaps day 11 of the Karen Read retrial, cutting through the dry legal details and sidebars. Today’s key witnesses included Trooper Connor Keefe, who gathered evidence like cell phones and taillight pieces but had limited experience, and digital forensic expert Jessica Hyde, who clarified critical timelines around Jennifer McCabe’s phone searches. The defense probed Keefe about inconsistencies and autopsy details, while Hyde emphasized that the infamous “how to die in the cold” search occurred at 6:24 a.m., not earlier.

Day 10 of the Karen Read trial packed in tense moments. The prosecution played Reed’s past interview clips and introduced meteorologist Robert Gilman, who detailed the January 2022 snowstorm. Trooper Garino presented dozens of Reed’s frantic voicemails and call logs from that night. Afterward, Canton Police Lt. Charles Ray’s short testimony led to Trooper Kevin O’Hara, who described finding crucial evidence — taillight fragments and John O’Keefe’s missing shoe — during a snowy night search. Questions of scene security and evidence handling raised tension. Join Tabitha Kane as she unpacks the twists and prepares for Day 11!

Jennifer McCabe’s cross‑examination dominated day 8 of the Karen Read reTrial. Defense probed her “amnesia” over seven early‐morning calls, forgotten Google searches, and why she didn’t seek help from a cop neighbor. They highlighted her changing story about calling sister Nicole Albert and collusion in a family group chat - though the judge struck “collusion.” A slip by Judge Canone calling McCabe “Miss Reed” drew gasps. Redirect emphasized McCabe’s shock texts and voluntary cooperation. State toxicologist Hannah Knowles then testified: Reed’s 9 a.m. BAC was .093, extrapolated back to .14 - .28 at the time of the incident...
