Courtroom Drama: Key Evidence Presented in Karen Read Trial

The Karen Read trial took another turn today with the testimony of Witness #37, Judson Welcher. Mr. Welcher presented photographic evidence found at the scene of the accident that investigators believe links Ms. Read to the death of her boyfriend, John O'Keefe. The photos, shown in court, depicted fragments of a Lexus taillight, a shoe, and what appeared to be bloodstains in the snow. "The photos were taken on February 3, 2022," stated Mr. Welcher. He further explained the significance of the evidence, highlighting the location of the items relative to the point of impact. Welcher also presented a biomechanics chart detailing common injuries sustained in pedestrian accidents, emphasizing the high frequency of head injuries. This evidence could prove crucial in determining the cause of death and Ms. Read's culpability in the incident. The trial continues.
