Day 3 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 24, 2025. The trial is not proceeding in the order of witnesses who arrived at the scene, unlike the previous trial. Kerry Roberts' early testimony provided a timeline of events from 5:00 AM onward, which was beneficial for the jury.

Judge Cannone Ruled to bring in the video clip from yesterday that the Defense objected to. It was an ID Docuseries clip from April 13, 2024. Hank Brennan played the brief video clip to the jury where Read tells an interviewer that Peggy O'Keefe, John O'Keefe's mother, leaned over a kitchen island and said, "I think he looks like he got hit by a car. He looks like he got hit by a car." As Read quotes Peggy O'Keefe, she imitates a harsh voice.

The text message exchanges between Karen Read and John O'Keefe on Jan 28th were read to the Jury by Trooper Nicholas Guarino. Text messages indicated underlying disagreements about Facebook activity and hot water issues but were ultimately resolved and they decided to go out with their friends to the bar.

The Prosecution played video and audio clips of Karen Read's interviews regarding her drinking. She described the drinks as weak and her adding shots to them ultimately saying that she didn't have as many drinks at the Commonwealth accounted for. She also mentioned being "buzzed" and "fuzzy," and driving slow when she's been drinking. Karen admitted to driving slower when she's had a few drinks and acknowledged she shouldn't have been driving.

Stay tuned as I anticipate the upcoming testimony regarding Karen Read's blood alcohol content and its potential impact on the retrial.
