Summary

Partygoer Sarah Levinson's Testimony Exposes Karen Read's Lies About Night of Murder!
Sarah Levinson, a friend of Brian Albert Jr., testified on May 5, 2025, about her experiences at the party held at 34 Fairview Road on January 28, 2022. She described the mood at the party as light and jovial, with no signs of tension or fighting among the attendees, which is significant as it contradicts any claims that there might have been altercations or disturbances that could have led to John O’Keefe’s death, aligning with the prosecution’s argument that the incident occurred outside.

Levinson detailed the events of the evening, mentioning that she interacted with several people, including O’Keefe and Read, and noted nothing out of the ordinary, specifically denying witnessing any arguments or physical confrontations. Her testimony supports the prosecution’s narrative that O’Keefe’s death was not related to any events inside the house but rather to an incident involving Read outside, providing a clear picture of the party’s atmosphere that undermines potential defense theories of internal conflicts.

During cross-examination, the defense tried to suggest that Levinson might not have been aware of everything happening at the party, given its size and the number of people present, potentially missing key interactions. However, Levinson maintained that she was attentive to the atmosphere and would have noticed if there had been any significant disturbances, and her calm and assured demeanor under questioning likely reinforced her credibility. The defense’s efforts to cast doubt on her account appeared unsuccessful, bolstering the prosecution’s case with her testimony.
