​On Day 10 of the Karen Read murder trial, the defense focused on challenging the testimony of Brian Albert, a Boston police officer and owner of the home where John O'Keefe was found deceased. The defense suggested that O'Keefe was beaten inside Albert's residence and then left outside in the snow, proposing a cover-up by law enforcement to protect fellow officers. They highlighted the close relationships between the lead investigator, Trooper Michael Proctor, and the Albert family, suggesting potential bias and conflicts of interest that could have compromised the investigation. Additionally, the defense questioned the integrity of the evidence collection process, noting the use of unconventional items like Solo cups and grocery bags, and raised concerns about inappropriate text messages exchanged by Trooper Proctor regarding Read.

​In the Karen Read murder trial, witness Julie Nagel testified that as she departed a party at the Albert residence on the night of John O'Keefe's death, she observed a "black blob" approximately 5 to 6 feet in length near the flagpole on the lawn. Nagel, who admitted to being intoxicated at the time, mentioned her observation to her friend Sarah Levinson but did not take further action. During cross-examination, the defense questioned the delay in Nagel's disclosure, noting that her first interview with investigators occurred months later in October 2022. Additionally, Nagel was the second witness to testify seeing a vehicle similar to Read's SUV at the scene that night.
