Killer Or Cover-Up Murder Trial
S1, EP165 "Alcohol And Hypothermia"
The medical examiner on the stand said the manner of John O'Keefe's death was undetermined. Jurors learned that the cause of death involved multiple wounds, including skull fractures consistent with blunt-force trauma, along with hypothermia. Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello went into the alcohol levels in O'Keefe's system when he passed away. According to Dr. Bello, his high alcohol level exacerbated the hypothermia as he was lying in the snow for hours during blizzard conditions.
S1, EP166 "Accident Or Homicide"
Jurors saw autopsy photos as part of the state's case. On the stand was the medical examiner who did the full external body examination on John O'Keefe. Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello's conclusion was that the manner of death was undetermined caused either by an accident or a homicide. During cross-examination, Karen Read's defense zeroed in on Dr. Bello's conclusion that one of O'Keefe's injuries was blunt force trauma. She admitted to jurors that a punch could explain the wounds found on his head.
S1, EP167 "State Rests Case"
The State's final witness was still under cross-examination. Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello testified that the injuries she examined on John O'Keefe's body could be consistent with both a hit-and-run as well as a severe beating involving blows to his head. Prosecutors finally rested their case against Karen read after two months of testimony. The spotlight now turned to her defense who tried to cast doubt on the State's case that she intentionally killed her boyfriend with her car.
S1, EP168 "The Snowplow Driver"
A snowplow driver testified that he was working in the very area where John O'Keefe was found in the snow. But he told jurors, he did not see a body on the front lawn. Brian Loughran claimed to have passed the Albert home in the early morning hours the day John O'Keefe died. Not once, not twice, but three times... And he said there was not a body on the front lawn. His testimony contradicted the timeline of events presented by the State.
