🔴 NOT LEGAL ADVICE

If they allowed trooper B to talk about medical opinions then the judge should allow this witness otherwise definite bias!

[jennifervigeant]

The prosecution is desperate and it shows. I've never seen a DA on the defensive like this. Trial is essentially over.

[paigeedwards]

The CW didn't have the DNA result until the trial started so how could they notify them sooner? This was brought on because the CW waited 18 months to submit samples to the lab

[pebbles]

After Thursday's intentional misleading of the jury with the video, how dare he submit a motion like this? This gets worse and worse each day. After everything they are still continuing with this circus act. This is pure insanity. John and his family don't deserve this.

[ang]

The CW was allowed a non medical expert (the smug trooper..forgot his name) to give his medical opinion on John's wounds (abrasions of the epidermis and crushing of the vascular by blunt force trauma). But they want to question the validity of their experts?

[soude]

Don’t forget that Lally tried to sneak in this 6 page motion on Thursday and force a decision by the judge within 30min…🙄

[LaurieDean-wyxb]

Honestly, if I were a juror, even with nothing else added, there is already enough reasonable doubt that I could not, WOULD NOT, find Karen Read guilty.

[centswanted]

It's interesting that we're talking about the defense and theatrics and obfuscation. Yet....recently we have Lally intentionally trying to pass off a mirrored image as evidence. We also have quite a bit of evidence not being turned over to the defense

[danidan]

I was attacked by a dog - a german shepard mix. Big strong jaws. I can tell you for 100% certainty my leg puncture wounds looked identical to his arms

[ndan]

Quick point - Yuri's first impression of crime scene and what he told medical examiner is HUGE - if this guy is SO good and has years of experience ..why was that his first impression? an assault not hit and run... I would be thinking that if I was a juror

[donnaj]

The judge let the CW add evidence after trial started. CW had to file a discovery notice then defense had to file their reciprocal discovery within a certain amount of time but judge allowed discovery after that was filed (filed a few days before start of trial) so there shouldn’t be a limit on defense.

[fqwtbeb]

Officer O'Keefe deserves so much better than this nightmare of a case.

[daphni]

It just gets worse and worse for the State. At this point, I'm voting not guilty and I hope the Feds get to the bottom of this in their investigation.

[leebarrows]

I find so much reasonable doubt in this case that I could not convict KR.

[jillruben]

How could the Commonwealth refuse defense experts?
Doesn’t sound fair to defendant?

[gracebecreations]

OK so its OK for Lally to call 5000 WITNESSES but yet come time for he defense and lally is beginning to pick apart and motion issues with their experts.... THIS IS CRAP! sit down lally you had your turn as we all fell asleep during your witnesses ... he is a joke .. he just cannot stand that he is losing credibility with the jurors

[bridgett]

WOW. It is incredibly bold to say the defense is being unfair and prejudicing the prosecution, when Lally admitted a completely misleading video. Submitting that video and letting the jury believe the drivers side taillight was actually the passenger side, is frankly, malpractice. And if he didn’t know, he’s negligent. The fact that video wasn’t turned over till the trial started makes it even worse and makes this motion even more bold. Lally stopped the video when the officers were all around the taillight and asked Trooper B if he saw anyone touch the car. He INTENTIONALLY stopped it at that moment to make the jurors watch them carefully and see none of them touched it. I’ve never seen such dirty evidence in a trial before.

[mollybarbie]

But if judge forced start of trial, wouldn't she expect this ???

[DMiller]

Wow! Of course, they're trying to block the expert witness for the defense. I wonder what the chances are of that happening. The CW is looking really pathetic right about now. Justice for Officer John O'Keefe and Karen Read.

[JanetVB-nwtp]

The 3 experts with PhD's who will testify related to the accident reconstruction were hired by the FBI as part of the internal affairs investigation 😊😊
