S1, EP142 "Corroborating John O'keefe's DNA"
Prosecutors accusing Karen Read of killing her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, wanted to show jurors physical evidence that they say linked her to his death. On the stand was a DNA analyst who said the victim's DNA was found on broken pieces from her SUV. The lab test results of forensic DNA analysis dominated this portion of the trial. The State wanted to show beyond a reasonable doubt that Karen Read violently hit her boyfriend with her large SUV and left him in the snow during a blizzard.

A key detail in the prosecution's case against Karen Read was where the DNA of John O'Keefe was found at the crime scene. These analysts who took the stand referenced their laboratory test results during their elaborate testimony.

A crash reconstruction expert testified for the State. Massachusetts State Trooper Joseph Paul was tasked to analyze the condition of her car during the investigation into the death of John O'Keefe.

This crime scene reconstruction included a series of images and crime scene photos to help in his analysis of what happened to the victim.
