Watch Live: Karen Read trial resumes as prosecution's case nears end
The Karen Read trial is back inside Norfolk Superior Court on Tuesday for the first time in nearly a week as the prosecution could be entering the final days of its case. You can watch testimony live on CBS News Boston when it begins at 9 a.m. by clicking on the video player above. The prosecution accuses Read of hitting and killing Boston police officer John O'Keefe, who she was dating at the time, with her SUV and leaving him to die in the cold outside Brian Albert's home in Canton after a night of heavy drinking. Read argues she is being framed and O'Keefe was actually killed during a fight inside the home at 34 Fairview Road. The defense could get the case at some point in the coming days. Read told reporters outside of court recently that Dr. Judson Welcher from Aperture LLC is expected to be the prosecution's final witness. Lawyers cannot confirm when Welcher or other witnesses will take the stand because they remain under a gag order. Special prosecutor Hank Brennan has been questioning the majority of witnesses. Alan Jackson has questioned most of witnesses on cross-examination for the defense, with David Yannetti and Bob Alessi questioning some as well. Karen Read trial schedule Full days of testimony are scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. A half day of testimony is scheduled to take place on Thursday. Judge Beverly Cannone delayed the start of Wednesday's witness testimony when she said an "issue" came to her attention that required her to question every juror individually at sidebar. When court proceedings resumed, all jurors were still present, though two had changed seats. Last week's witnesses included a forensic analyst discussing the movement of Read's Lexus SUV, a brain surgeon, and a crime lab analyst.
