The Karen Read Trial 2.0- (Day 8: Morning) Cross-Exam of Jen McCabe LIVEWATCH WITH ATTORNEYS

SO FAR: After finishing her direct testimony, Alan Jackson has spent over two hours cross-examining Jen McCabe about the intimate relationship the witnesses have with each other, and many times they have spent discussing details and (from the defense's perspective) "crafting their story." Jen keeps insisting it is the truth that she is sharing. Additionally, Defense questioned about Jen's entry to the home and not encounter the Albert's watchdog. Finally, she was questioned about whether Brian Higgins' jeep was parked directly behind Karen Read's car (implicitly making it difficult if not impossible for Karen to put the car in reverse to run John O'Keefe over.)

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Continued cross of Jen McCabe and redirect. Additional State witnesses as time allows.

WHAT IT'S ABOUT:

During a long and widely watched trial last year, Karen Read was prosecuted for murder in the 2022 death of her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe. Allegedly a victim of hitting him with her vehicle. Read is charged with Intentional Murder, Vehicular Manslaughter (Accidental) and Leaving the scene of a "hit and run."

The trial, which included allegations of police misconduct and of a wide-ranging conspiracy among law enforcement officers to frame Read in the killing, ended in a hung jury.

BACKGROUND:

O’Keefe, 46, had been a police officer for 16 years. He was found unresponsive on a snowy January morning outside the suburban home of Brian Albert, a now-retired Boston police sergeant.

O’Keefe was pronounced dead shortly after, and the medical examiner attributed the cause to blunt force trauma to the head and hypothermia. Read, then an equity analyst who had been dating O’Keefe for two years, was arrested in connection with his death days later.
