Watch Live: Karen Read trial continues as defense could call final witness

Karen Read's attorneys are likely to call their final witness on Tuesday as the case appears to be entering its final days inside Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham, Massachusetts. You can watch testimony live on CBS News Boston when it begins at 9 a.m. by clicking on the video player above. Read is facing trial for the second time, accused of hitting and killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, and leaving him to die in the snow outside a Canton home. She claims she is being framed by several people, including law enforcement. Testimony is expected to begin Tuesday with Dr. Elizabeth Laposata, a Brown University professor who was previously the chief medical examiner for Rhode Island, back on the stand for direct questioning. She was on the stand when court ended for the day Monday answering questions from Read's attorney Alan Jackson. Jackson told Judge Beverly Cannone he expects to question Laposata for less than an hour on Tuesday. Special prosecutor Hank Brennan said he will likely cross-examine her for about 30 minutes. When Laposata's testimony is complete, the defense is expected to call its final witness, Dr. Andrew Rentschler. When will Karen Read's defense rest? Rentschler worked with crash reconstructionist Dr. Andrew Wolfe at the engineering consulting firm ARCCA, which has been at the center of contentious hearings throughout Read's trial. Wolfe finished testifying Monday after two days on the stand. Jackson said he expected to question Rentschler for about three hours, possibly more, as the final defense witness. When Rentschler is done on the stand, Brennan said he plans to call several rebuttal witnesses. Once all witness testimony is finished in the coming days, closing statements will be held and the jury will get the case. Rentschler will be the 11th defense witness called. Brennan called 38 witnesses so far, with more now expected. Read has pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence of alcohol and leaving the scene of personal injury and death. Read's first trial in 2024 ended with a mistrial due to a "starkly divided" hung jury.
