Killer Or Cover-Up Murder Trial
S1, EP109 "Crime Scene Analyst Explains"
A forensic scientist on the stand had more to tell the jury about crime scene evidence. One part of that was the clothing John O'Keefe had been wearing. Maureen Hartnett examined it as thoroughly as the hair and dents found on the outside of the defendant's car. The cross-examination began on Hartnett. She was among the team who examined, collected, and processed crime scene evidence.
S1, EP110 "Explaining The Glass, Plastic, And Hair Found"
Maureen Hartnett, the crime scene analyst working this case, got grilled by Karen Read's defense under cross-examination. Hartnett testified that she did not know when the pieces of glass or the hair got on the defendant's SUV. Her lawyers maintained throughout this trial that she was framed by someone who fatally beat John O'Keefe inside a home and that the homeowner's relationship with local and state police tainted this investigation.
S1, EP111 "Physical Matches On Key Evidence"
Prosecutors brought in another analyst who did physical matches on crime scene evidence. It included the defendant's SUV as well as clothing belonging to her boyfriend, the victim-John O'Keefe. Jurors learned more about this key crime scene evidence that seemed to implicate Karen Read in the death of O'Keefe, her boyfriend. Prosecutors alleged that their relationship was in so much trouble that she resorted to killing him in a hit-and-run in a middle of a snowstorm.
S1, EP112 "Everything Is Documented"
For prosecutors, the broken taillight pieces served as proof that Karen Read hit her boyfriend with her SUV and then drove off all while under the influence. State forensic scientist Ashley Vallier went into detail about how she collected and processed a damaged taillight. She testified on the stand: Everything is documented. Days after John O'Keefe died, police had her black Lexus SUV in their custody examining every inch.
