Karen Read prosecutors' case takes shape with expletive laden messages, historic snowfall testimony
On Tuesday, special prosecutor Hank Brennan played a series of voicemails that Karen Read allegedly left John O'Keefe after authorities said she struck him with an SUV and left him to die in a blizzard.
Massachusetts State Trooper Nicholas Guarino returned to the stand Tuesday to read through text messages and phone calls between Read and O'Keefe from the evening of Jan. 28, 2022, into the following morning, when Read was among three women who found him.
Records show Read's phone connected to the Wi-Fi at O'Keefe's home at 12:36 a.m. on the 29th, Guarino said. Read made more than 50 calls to O'Keefe that morning but did not leave a voicemail every time.
At 12:37 a.m., she left the first of eight voicemails for O'Keefe.
"John, I f---ing hate you," she said, in a recording played in court.
By then, prosecutors allege O'Keefe had been mortally injured by the rear end of Read's Lexus SUV and left for dead as a blizzard picked up strength.

Trump Spews Out Bizarre Conspiracy Theory That Biden Was ‘Executed' In 2020 And Replaced By Clones
President Donald Trump spewed out a bizarre conspiracy theory, claiming on social media that former President Joe Biden died in 2020 and was replaced with clones. On late Saturday night on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump shared a post from a pro-Trump account that alleged Biden was killed in 2020 and the country had been run by 'robotic engineered soulless mindless entities' during Biden's entire term. 'There is no #JoeBiden - executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. Democrats dont know the difference,' the post that Trump shared read. HuffPost has reached out to the White House for comment. Trump's wife was previously at the center of similar conspiracy theories. Back in 2019, Trump denied the rumors and conspiracy theories that flooded the internet, which claimed his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, had been replaced by a body double during his first term in the White House. 'The Fake News photoshopped pictures of Melania, then propelled conspiracy theories that it's actually not her by my side in Alabama and other places,' Trump tweeted at the time. 'They are only getting more deranged with time!' Last month, Trump entertained another conspiracy theory that Biden hid his cancer diagnosis while he was in office. The White House announced on May 18 that Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. 'There are things going on that the public wasn't informed [about],' Trump alleged of Biden's diagnosis while speaking with reporters in the Oval Office on May 19. Trump then appeared to suggest that the situation should be investigated. 'Why wasn't the cognitive ability, why wasn't that discussed? And I think the doctor said he's just fine,' he continued. 'And, it's turned out that's not so. It's very dangerous. Look, this is no longer politically correct. This is dangerous for our country.'
