Summary

In today's motions hearing for the Karen Read case, the court addressed several key issues ahead of her retrial scheduled for April. A significant development was Judge Beverly Cannone's decision to allow testimony from defense expert Richard Green. Green's analysis challenges the prosecution's timeline, suggesting that a Google search for "how long to die in the cold" was conducted at approximately 2:30 a.m., earlier than the prosecution's claim of 6:23 a.m. This discrepancy could be pivotal in establishing the sequence of events leading to the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe.

Additionally, the hearing focused on missing video footage from the Canton Police Department, which the defense argues is crucial evidence. The absence of this footage has raised questions about potential evidence mishandling or suppression.

The court also addressed various pre-trial motions, including discussions about expert testimonies and evidentiary matters, as both sides prepare for the upcoming trial. These developments underscore the complexities of the case as it moves toward retrial.

0:00.0	This is a special report from True Crime Today and the Hidden Killers podcast.
0:08.7	Karen Reid back in court for another motions hearing on Thursday the 6th of February,
0:13.9	2025.
0:15.1	Reid accused of driving drunk and hitting her Boston cop boyfriend, John O'Keefe,
0:19.2	then leaving him to die in the snow.
0:21.6	Let's go to the courtroom and take a listen to that hearing.
0:26.8	I have no idea about this ICloud account or who owns the ICloud account,
0:33.5	why this data on January 29th was moved from the DVR to the ICloud account.
0:39.3	Mr. Brennan did say, do you want to have your expert come back out and watch as we download the I cloud account?
0:48.3	And I said, let's defer that because this is the, literally, these are the contours of motion that's going to be before the court.
0:59.1	And I still want to defer it because what I didn't want to do is pay another $12,000 or $15,000 for a second bite at this Apple just to find out that that I-Cloud account is somehow compromised as well.
1:05.5	Can you have someone record it?
1:08.5	Can you have somebody that won't cost you $12,000 if you want to come out and just
1:13.7	have someone recorded as it's being done? Sure. I didn't even interrupt the court. Yes, I can

1:30.3	But what I don't want is to spend to throw good money after bad at this issue when she's already spent $12,000,200 and something dollars for absolutely nothing.
1:41.3	This is not a matter of courtesy. This is a matter of obligation. This
1:47.0	was a matter of Brady. It's no different, and by the way, the case that Mr. Brennan cites,
1:53.0	he indicated that I cited that case. I didn't cite that case. Justice Gaggiano cited that case,
1:58.0	in his opinion in the committee case. And the ultimate opinion of that case in his opinion in the committee case and the ultimate opinion of
