Russell, a veteran emergency medicine physician in Los Angeles who also worked previously as a Malden police officer, testified Tuesday in Norfolk Superior Court that the scratch marks on the arm of the victim, John O'Keefe, appeared to come from a dog attack, based on the pattern of the wounds. She told Brennan on cross-examination that she had never testified as a dog bite expert before, and she acknowledged initially testifying last year that the wounds were consistent with an 'animal' attack, rather than a dog specifically. Advertisement 'I do remember that,' Russell told Brennan. 'I was certain it was a dog attack. ... My degree of certainty perhaps increased.' Read, 45, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and other counts for allegedly backing her SUV in a drunken rage into O'Keefe, a Boston police officer, after dropping him off early on Jan. 29, 2022, outside a home in Canton following a night of bar-hopping. Her lawyers say she was framed and that O'Keefe entered the house, owned at the time by a fellow Boston police officer, where he was fatally beaten and possibly mauled by a German Shepherd before his body was planted on the lawn. Advertisement Read's first trial ended with a hung jury in July and she remains free on bail.
