Tension and Testimony Unfold in the Karen Read Retrial
This week’s proceedings have added more fuel to the fire. After a brief break in testimony, the defense resumed their case with the return of crash analysis expert Daniel Wolfe. His analysis, both now and in the first trial, strongly disputes the prosecution’s version of events. Wolfe testified that O’Keefe’s injuries are not consistent with being struck by a vehicle. Instead, his findings align more with other possibilities, such as a physical assault inside the house—perhaps even a dog attack, a theory the defense has emphasized by introducing evidence of bite marks and the presence of a German Shepherd named Chloe.

Also taking the stand was Canton snowplow driver Brian Loughran, who firmly testified that he saw no body on the lawn when he first passed 34 Fairview Road around 2:45 a.m. on the morning in question—contradicting the prosecution’s timeline. Loughran said his plow’s powerful lights would have clearly revealed anything unusual. During cross-examination, prosecutors questioned the consistency of his statements, and even suggested he may have been influenced by a controversial online blogger, Aidan Kearney, a vocal supporter of Read. Loughran denied any coercion and stated he simply wanted the truth told, not publicity.
The trial has also been marked by tense moments, such as Boston Police officer Kelly Dever’s combative testimony. Once a key witness, Dever had previously told federal investigators she saw two men—one of them the police chief—near Read’s SUV for a suspiciously long time after O’Keefe’s death. On the stand, however, she walked back that statement, calling it a “false memory.” This reversal, and her admission of a prior meeting with the Boston Police Commissioner before testifying, raised eyebrows about the integrity of the process.
What makes this trial particularly riveting isn’t just the serious nature of the charges—it’s the broader implications it carries. With allegations of a police cover-up, accusations of witness intimidation, and an online media circus influencing public opinion, the courtroom has become a stage for much more than one woman’s guilt or innocence. It’s a story about power, truth, and the justice system’s ability—or failure—to distinguish between them.
The defense still has several witnesses left, and the courtroom remains tense as each side builds its case. Regardless of the eventual verdict, the Karen Read trial is a striking example of how justice, perception, and power collide in today's legal landscape. Stay tuned—this story is far from over.
