Hi there and welcome back to another episode of Drop Dead Serious. I'm Ashley Bannfield.

And in this episode, we're recapping days four and five of the Karen Reed trial, one day that

gave the jury a view of the crime scene and another day that dug deep into the digital evidence,

evidence that may be a lot harder for Karen Reed to explain away.

If you're new to this case or if you just need a refresher, no worries.

Just go back to my previous episodes, which are linked in the show notes.

Let's start with the field trip.

The jury was taken on something called a

jury view, and this jury view landed them right outside the house where prosecutors say

Karen Reid ran over John O'Keefe, her boyfriend, using her SUV. We heard about the now

infamous Google search, how long to die in the cold, and actually the word

how was spelled wrong. It was spelled HOS, like HOS, HOS long to die in the cold. We also heard a

pitched fight over exactly what time that search was made and whether the search results were

erased after the fact.

And then we heard from some crash reconstruction experts from an organization called ARCA.

Karen Reed is depending on these witnesses, these ARCA witnesses, to really blow up the state's case.

But they didn't testify.

Instead, the ARCA witnesses spent the time on the stand

defending themselves about money and contracts and about how close they really were with the defense

before they ever called themselves independent. And prosecutor Hank Brennan, he frankly lost

his shit with these witnesses, especially the first one.

There is so much to unpack, so let's get right into it.
