Karen Read Retrial Wrapping Up As Defense Prepares to Call Final Witness
Karen Read Retrial Wrapping Up As Defense Prepares to Call Final Witness originally appeared on L.A. Mag. Testimony in the Karen Read retrial - which has made national headlines - continued Tuesday with testimony from a defense expert who says Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe likely smashed his skull during a fall backward, but did not die from hypothermia as a medical examiner previously retaking the stand, Elizabeth Laposata, a forensic pathologist and former medical examiner who is now a professor at Brown University, told jurors she believes O'Keefe fell unconscious immediately after hitting his head on a ridged object and was bitten and scratched by an animal, based on an analysis of his injuries."By looking at the body, I could tell that there was no evidence of impact from a vehicle," Laposata told the jury. 'He landed on something that had a ridge on it, to cause the laceration in the scalp. And then with a little bit of movement those vertical scratches were caused by some kind of pebbly-like surface.' Her testimony directly contradicts the government's assertion that Read, 45, backed into her boyfriend in a blinding snowstorm outside another Boston cop's home in Canton, Massachusetts and left him to die after a night of heavy drinking. Her defense insists that O'Keefe got into an altercation inside the home of now-retired Boston Police Sergeant Brian Albert and was attacked by the Albert's family dog, a German Shepherd named Chloe. The case has raised serious questions about the investigative techniques utilized by Massachusetts State Troopers in the Norfolk County District Attorney's office, where the case against Read was initiated. The lead investigator in the initial probe, Michael Proctor, was fired for misconduct in March, weeks before Read's retrial began, based on text messages he sent about Read in a chain that included his MSP superiors. In one he wrote that she was a "wack job cunt" with "no ass" and reported he had not found any "noodz" on her phone after it was seized. The Norfolk County D.A. Michael Morrissey hired a private defense attorney, Hank Brennan, who was a lawyer for notorious Boston gangster and longtime FBI informant James "Whitey" Bulger, to work as a special prosecutor in the hired a team of attorneys that includes high-profile Los Angeles defense lawyer Alan Jackson, and his partner Elizabeth Little, along with former Boston prosecutor David Yanetti and white shoe lawyer Robert Alessi from New York City. Her first trial ended in a hung jury. The defense could call its last witness in the trial, now in its eighth week, with Tuesday marking 30 days of testimony, today or tomorrow. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

Video shows ICE agents facing backlash while detaining people in Baltimore
Clashes between Baltimore-area residents and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently played out on video on social media. The videos show ICE agents detaining people in a shopping plaza in Catonsville, and residents trying to chase agents out of their neighborhood in Highlandtown. Highlandtown community pushes back on ICE presence WJZ obtained video from a Highlandtown resident that shows people outraged as ICE agents pull people out of their corner. Baltimore City Councilman Mark Parker confirms ICE agents detained two people between 11:15 a.m. and noon on Sunday, June 8, near the intersection of E. Baltimore and Ellwood streets. Several residents who spoke off-camera told WJZ that it was disturbing and concerning that ICE agents, who they say did not identify themselves, were arresting people in their neighborhood. "As a new homeowner in Patterson Park, I'm proud of how my neighbors showed up for our fellow humans," a Highlandtown resident said. "No person is illegal and doesn't deserve this type of treatment." Video shows ICE making arrest at Maryland shopping plaza Another social media video in Catonsville shows someone being detained near the Ross Department Store. "Now you're treating people just like they're animals, that's not right," said Lee, a Catonsville resident. "I wouldn't feel right if somebody just walked up to me today because you're Black, we [are] taking you in. I just don't think it's right. I don't think it's fair to be doing people like that. That's a human being. They're not a dog." Noah, a Hampden resident, told WJZ that he works with some people whose family members have been detained by ICE. He says he disagrees with the Trump administration's policy, and people are entitled to due process. "What they're doing is, to a degree, understandable, but how they're doing it isn't, isn't understandable," Noah said. "You can't hop out in masks with no badges and just take people. I work with these guys, a lot of people who they're taking, and in my opinion, they work harder than most of the people who are from here." Baltimore joins national protest over ICE operations On Monday, June 9, hundreds of immigration advocates marched from McKeldin Plaza to the George H. Fallon ICE Field Office in Baltimore in protest of immigration enforcement actions. The group blocked Calvert and Pratt streets on their way to Lombard and Charles streets, into the Hopkins plaza. Organizers of the weekly Eyes on ICE protests said the movement called on the Trump administration to stop violating human rights. According to organizers, the administration plans to spend $48 billion to expand immigration while also firing federal workers and cutting services that are vital for communities. "Everyone who sets foot in this country is entitled to due process, and we are watching what ICE is doing, and we hope that someday they will be held accountable for their actions," said Amy Lee, from the Free State Coalition. Among the crowd of protesters was Nilsa Yurivilca, who immigrated to the United States from Peru more than 10 years ago. She says many migrants are in search of a better life or opportunity. "A lot of people who immigrate, it is not a choice," Yurivilca said. "They want to just find happiness, safety, and a better future for their future generation…I am an immigrant myself, and I fully feel the targeting of this administration." Trump responds to nationwide ICE protests President Trump responded from the Oval Office on Tuesday to ICE protests nationwide. "They [the Biden administration] opened up our borders for the whole world to come in," Trump said. "Yeah, we're going to get them out. We're getting them out." ICE shares video of Baltimore arrests On May 27, ICE shared a video of agents arresting several people near a Home Depot on Eastern Avenue in Baltimore. The video posted to social media captured the moments as ICE agents jumped out of a pick-up truck at the "big-box home improvement store" and detained several people. The agents were heard telling the group to stay down, show their hands, and be quiet. Immigration enforcement officials said a tip led them to the shopping center where five people were arrested for allegedly being in the U.S. illegally.

Garland Animal Control captures 15-foot python threatening neighborhood
Garland Animal Control officers responded to a wild call involving a massive 15-foot reticulated python threatening a neighborhood on Friday. A resident found the python near the intersection of Apache Drive and Broadway Boulevard around 11 p.m. Garland Animal Shelter and Adoption Center By the time officers arrived, the python had circled a yard and even trapped a man on top of his truck, according to the Garland Animal Shelter and Adoption Center. The python tried to strike several times and a tense crowd gathered to watch; however, the Center said that the officer remained calm and focused. Eventually, the officer's patience and careful work paid off, and the python was safely captured. "Bravery, compassion, and public safety-that's what our Animal Control Officers bring every day," the Garland Animal Shelter and Adoption Center said on social media. "No matter the call, we show up. Because our duty never ends." The Center said the python's escape was accidental and "caused no harm or incidents." Garland Animal Services officers have identified its owner, and the python is scheduled to be picked up on Wednesday and relocated outside Garland city limits, as the city prohibits the ownership of exotic animals.
