Summary
Karen Read is back in court for a Daubert Hearing. Dr. Russell is the Defense Expert Witness and is being questioned by both the Defense and the Prosecution to see if the testimony should come into the Re-Trial. Dr. Russell explained why she thinks the marks on John O'Keefe are specifically from a dog attack which is different than what she said on the stand in the first trial when she said it might be from a dog bite. The Prosecution was not done questioning Dr. Russell but it was time for court to end. It is scheduled to resume on Jan 7th, 2025, at 9am ET.
A Daubert Hearing is used to challenge an expert witness. The Judge acts as the gatekeeper of the evidence when determining if there is sufficient reliability for admissibility under FRE 702. The court can examine the methodology and reasoning behind the expert's opinion.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back. It's time for a quick bit clip. The full episode will be linked in the description, |
| 0:05.7 | but this is the quick bit clip to keep you in the loop for everything that's happening on the |
| 0:11.1 | live stream channel. Let's get into it. |
| 0:14.5 | Today was a incredibly full court day for an evidentiary hearing regarding the dog bite expert in the Karen |
| 0:24.0 | Reed case. What that means is that the defense and prosecution are having a full evidentiary |
| 0:29.4 | hearing to see what this expert can testify to and what areas she can give her opinion to. |
| 0:36.2 | This is all based on the rules of evidence, and this was done |
| 0:40.2 | briefly in the first trial with vaudier. Some of the areas of testimony were limited. So we went |
| 0:46.0 | through the entire direct examination by the defense with a new member of the defense team, |
| 0:51.9 | Mr. Alessi, today. What do you conclude from the pattern of all of these wounds collectively? |
| 1:02.6 | These were inflicted by a dog, and this was a dog attack. |
| 1:09.1 | And why do you say it was a dog attack? Because there are multiple bites here. |

| 1:25.6 | We will be back in court on January 7th at 9 a.m. Eastern |
| 1:29.3 | time for this hearing. Make sure you have the Law andard app so I can just remind you when that is. |
| 1:36.1 | What this hearing is for is to determine really what opinions the expert can give. The opinions |
| 1:41.8 | that she gave in court today were that the injuries to John O'Keefe's |
| 1:45.5 | arm were from a dog. They were not just from a dog bite. They were from a dog attack because she said |
| 1:52.8 | the multiple injuries to the arm indicate that this was a dog attack, not just a dog bite. She gave |
| 2:00.3 | opinions that looking at John O'Keefe's hoodie or |
| 2:03.4 | sweater, that the areas of damage to the fabric on the sweater were also from dog teeth |
| 2:11.3 | puncture wounds and that the sweater damage on the arm is consistent with the damage to John O'Keefe's arm. |
