Summary
In the Karen Reed case, Trooper Proctor, the lead investigator, faces a disciplinary trial on January 15, 2025, with potential termination on the table. The outcome could impact the retrial, as Proctor's handling of evidence is crucial. The Commonwealth may exclude the accident reconstruction biomechanical engineers from ARKA, who testified that John O'Keefe's injuries weren't consistent with a vehicle collision.
Dr. Russell's testimony that O'Keefe's arm injuries were more consistent with a dog bite than a car accident will be allowed, but the court noted she didn't compare the dog's dentition to the injuries. The prosecution has obtained molds of the dog's teeth and measurements of its paws and claws.

| 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 live stream channel. |
| 0:12.3 | Let's get into it. |
| 0:14.5 | Going through some of the pending motions and the court order in the Karen Reed case, |
| 0:19.6 | we learned that Trooper Proctor is going before |
| 0:22.2 | the full disciplinary trial on January 15th, 2025, and that permanent discipline, I read that as |
| 0:30.5 | potential firing, is on the table. Trooper Proctor was the lead investigator or the case |
| 0:36.3 | investigator on the Karen Reed trial. |
| 0:39.2 | His text messages came out in the trial. |
| 0:42.5 | They have asked for even more information from him while this has been wandering through. |
| 0:48.0 | How this will impact the retrial is going to be very interesting, |
| 0:51.7 | because there are some foundational things that Trooper Proctor did with regard to evidence in the case that he alone did. So if he is |
| 1:01.5 | terminated, how does that make him look at a witness? And can, as a witness, he look any worse than |
| 1:07.2 | he did in the first trial? We'll see, but we should have information about what |
| 1:11.9 | happens with Trooper Proctor soon. And based on the disclosure file to the court, we know that after |
| 1:17.6 | the disciplinary action is completed, that everything from that disciplinary action and the hearing |
| 1:24.1 | and the disciplinary trial will go to the defense. So if anything, the defense will |
| 1:28.6 | have even more information ahead of the second trial. We also covered the fact that the Commonwealth |
| 1:34.7 | put the defense on notice that they may seek to exclude the accident reconstruction biomechanical |
| 1:41.3 | engineers that testified from Arcra. |
| 1:47.5 | That is an abbreviation for their company. |
| 1:52.8 | These are the experts that testified in the defense case in chief that weren't hired by Karen Reed's defense team. |
