Prosecutors and defense attorneys gave their opening statements and witnesses began testifying as the high-profile murder trial against Karen Read got underway. In opening statements Read's defense tried to set up the argument that she was framed in the death of her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. The prosecution said there's no evidence to support their allegations.
"Michael Proctor never stepped foot inside the Albert home on Jan. 29 of 2022, never checked out whether there were any signs of struggle inside that home, never called for crime scene technicians and other specialists to look out for blood or other trace evidence in the home. He never asked Brian Albert for permission to go inside the home... never applied for a search warrant to go in that home. Instead, he focused immediately and exclusively on Karen Read, the outsider.
He became emotional as he described how his brother took custody of their niece and nephew in 2013 after their sister and brother-in-law died."He didn't say too much. If they were arguing, he may give reference that they were arguing. He didn't really tell me what they were arguing about. He mostly kept that to himself."
He also described receiving a phone call from his mother at 6:40 a.m. on the day of John O'Keefe's death.
