A snowplow driver testified that he was working in the very area where John O'Keefe was found in the snow. But he told jurors, he did not see a body on the front lawn. Brian Loughran claimed to have passed the Albert home in the early morning hours the day John O'Keefe died. Not once, not twice, but three times... And he said there was not a body on the front lawn. His testimony contradicted the timeline of events presented by the State.

The Defense's first expert witness testified. Dr. Marie Russell was a retired emergency medicine physician and forensic pathologist. Karen Read's attorneys hoped she would help show that the defendant had nothing to do with the death of John O'Keefe, her boyfriend. Dr. Russell was a retired doctor, a former police officer, and an expert on dog bites. She had reached out to the defense on her thoughts about what most likely happened to O'Keefe.

The State had more questions for the Defense's expert in the study of dog bites. Dr. Marie Russell contended that the wounds on John O'Keefe's body were consistent with a large dog attack. Next, the digital forensics examiner testifying for the Defense gave a different explanation about John O'Keefe's movements in the hours before he was found in the snow. This was based on the cell phone information collected during the murder investigation.

Jurors listened to more expert testimony from the Defense's forensics examiner. Richard Green put a different light on the data retrieved from the phones of Karen Read and John O'Keefe. He later testified under cross-examination. Two of the State's experts who worked with the phones of John O'Keefe and the defendant disagreed with Richard Green's work in this case.

Karen Read's defense called in the services of a retired medical doctor for the second time in her murder trial. This time jurors listened to the expert testimony of a forensic pathologist. He gave a different take on how John O'Keefe died. Dr. Frank Sheridan went straight to the point about the injuries he saw on the victim. To him, it didn't look remotely at all like O'Keefe had been hit by a car. Why? His body lacked any significant bruising.

According to the Defense's forensic pathologist, there's no evidence of John O'Keefe being fatally hit by a car. This was contrary to the State's argument on how he lost his life. The cross-examination was not over yet on Dr. Frank Sheridan. He told jurors that he had not done any autopsies on people hit by the back of a vehicle. For jurors, Karen Read's defense brought in experts in the same field as the State's experts. The goal was to challenge their testimony.

Jurors were brought back in the topic of accident reconstruction. Karen Read's defense wanted to challenge the State's assertion that she reversed her car at over 20 miles an hour to hit her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, and then drove away leaving him to die in a snowbank. Dr. Daniel Wolfe tried to make clear to the jury that he was not hired by her lawyers. Instead, he and his team independently examined the photographic evidence of the crime scene.
Closing arguments began for the jury. Soon they would decide Lorena Bobbitt's culpability when she sliced off her husband John's penis and then got rid of the severed organ in the neighborhood - forcing police to find and retrieve it. The prosecutor began by addressing the international media attention this case garnered and the notoriety of the defendant's unthinkable act in sexually maiming her husband.
