On Tuesday, the jury heard lengthy testimony from a defense expert who said O’Keefe’s wounds were consistent with a dog attack.
Read’s defense will call its next witness when the trial resumes at 9 a.m. Wednesday.
The trial is expected to be in session until about 1 p.m. on Wednesday.
Read, 45, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of O’Keefe, who was found outside the home of a fellow Boston police officer on Jan. 29, 2022.
Norfolk County prosecutors say Read struck O’Keefe with her SUV while driving intoxicated. Read’s attorneys say her car never struck O’Keefe and that others are to blame for his death.
