What Karen Read defense, prosecution revealed before closings

The sides in the Karen Read murder trial have one last chance to persuade the jury, but before their closing arguments, we got a sneak peek during important preparations in court. The defense is taking a new strategy on its third-party culprit claims and made some new requests of the judge, while making a somewhat rare request for the jury to consider a lesser charge. The prosecution, meanwhile, insisted the defense experts conflicted. Our experts, including attorney and YouTube analyst Emily D. Baker, dig into how the well-known theories involving the case may or may not come up in closing arguments, what Judge Cannone said about the jury slips and how the final days in court set the stage for deliberations.     You can watch the TV version of this episode ? and all the others, as well as video from court as it happens ? on our YouTube page.

The last defense witnesses share a view on O'Keefe's injury

A forensic pathologist called by Karen Read's defense was insistent that the evidence shows her SUV didn't hit John O'Keefe ? and while she was prohibited from saying his arm injury was caused by a dog bite, Judge Cannone did give the defense a partial victory on the subject.

Karen Read's mistrial motion denied | Officer says evidence changed

Big accusations were made in the Karen Read trial Tuesday ? did they stick? Prosecutors' questioning of a dog bite expert led the defense to move for a mistrial, citing activity that was "abhorrent to a fair trial," but it was ultimately denied. Then, a Dighton police sergeant testifies that a piece of Read's now-broken taillight "was intact" when he saw it, soon before state police took custody of the vehicle. Our chief legal analyst explains the arguments behind the mistrial motion and the possible significance behind the taillight discrepancy. Plus, what's a missing witness instruction, and why is the defense asking for it in this case?     You can watch the TV version of this episode ? and all the others, as well as video from court as it happens ? on our YouTube page.
