For the second straight day Tuesday, jurors heard extensive testimony from a digital forensics expert for the prosecution, who detailed data he collected from Read’s Lexus SUV. A forensic scientist with the Massachusetts State Police will return to the stand on Wednesday, but will not be the first witness of the day.
The trial resumes at 9 a.m. 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.
