'Trial by Ambush' Karen Read’s Defense Freaks Out Over Car Data Evidence That Could Show John Being Struck
'Trial by Ambush' Karen Read’s Defense Freaks Out Over Car Data Evidence That Could Show John Being Struck
In a dramatic twist after the jury exited the courtroom, Karen Read’s legal team accused prosecutors of pulling a classic courtroom ambush. The issue? A new expert report quietly slipped in just days ago—centered around a so-called “trigger event” in Read’s SUV. This data could suggest when the vehicle detected an impact, potentially pointing to the moment John O’Keefe was struck.
But defense attorney Robert Alessi wasn’t having it. He fired back, calling the late filing “inexcusable” and a “tactical maneuver” meant to sandbag the defense. According to Alessi, the prosecution is playing dirty by delivering expert interpretation at the eleventh hour, with no time for the defense to analyze, cross-examine, or respond. In his words, this wasn’t disclosure—it was a setup.
Prosecutor Hank Brennan countered, claiming it’s not new evidence at all—just a clearer explanation of data already turned over. But the defense says that kind of spin, introduced this late, could unfairly tip the scales before they’ve had a chance to fight back.
Judge Cannone didn’t rule immediately on whether the report would be excluded—but the courtroom tension was undeniable. This moment cuts to the heart of fairness in trial prep: Can prosecutors get away with reframing evidence days before it lands in front of a jury?
We break down exactly what’s at stake in this critical behind-the-scenes moment and how it could shift the trajectory of the Karen Read trial.

Karen Read Trial Day 16 Recap - MAJOR Bombshell As Medical Examiner Admits Injury Could Match Car Strike
Karen Read Trial Day 16 Recap - MAJOR Bombshell As Medical Examiner Admits Injury Could Match Car Strike
In this explosive episode, we break down the critical testimony delivered on May 15, 2025, in the ongoing Karen Read murder trial—a day that may go down as a turning point for the prosecution. Two expert witnesses took the stand: Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello, the Medical Examiner who performed the autopsy on Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, and forensic scientist Maureen Hartnett, who analyzed Karen Read’s Lexus SUV.
Dr. Scordi-Bello testified that O’Keefe died from blunt force trauma to the head, with hypothermia as a contributing factor. But the headline moment came when she admitted that a bruise on O’Keefe’s knee could be consistent with a vehicle sideswipe—a major point supporting the prosecution’s theory that Read reversed her SUV into O’Keefe during a snowy January night. Her testimony included disturbing autopsy photos, skull fracture details, and signs of internal brain bleeding—leaving jurors with a vivid forensic portrait of how O’Keefe died.
But the biggest twist? The prosecution introduced revised vehicle data from Read’s Lexus, showing a “vehicle event”—possibly a reverse or impact—occurred at exactly 12:32 AM, the time prosecutors say O’Keefe was hit. The defense immediately accused the state of “trial by ambush,” claiming the late data revision caught them off guard. Prosecutors countered that the change was merely a recalibration due to clock drift between digital systems.
Between the autopsy evidence and digital forensic data, the prosecution is building a powerful, data-driven timeline. Whether or not jurors are convinced, one thing is clear: this trial now has a timestamp, a trauma pattern, and a digital fingerprint that may be impossible to ignore.
