@meghannmcuniff: The big moment in Medical Examiner Irini Scordi-Bello’s testimony in Karen Read’s trial occurred during cross-examination when she said she did not find injuries on John O’Keefe consistent with being struck by a motor vehicle when she conducted his autopsy. Read's lawyer Robert Alessi questioned her about it near the end of his 90-minute exam yesterday (Thursday, May 15, day 16). “You did not include in your autopsy in any fashion, any discussion of whether Mr. O'Keefe's injuries were consistent with a motor vehicle accident, did you?” a member of Read's defense team Robert Alessi asked. “I did not,” Scordi-Bello answered. “Did you evaluate it at all in your autopsy?” Alessi said. “Whether Mr. O’Keefe had any injuries consistent with a motor vehicle accident?” “Yes, I did examine his lower extremities,” Scordi-Bello said. “That is protocol in any case of suspected impact with a motor vehicle. So I did examine his legs, and I did not see any evidence of an impact site.” You can watch her testify about a photo of police in the morgue here @Meghann Cuniff. Prosecutors say Read was drunk when she struck her boyfriend, Boston Police Department Officer John O'Keefe with her SUV outside Boston Police Department Detective Brian Albert's home early on Jan. 29, 2022, and drove away. Read's defense is that Albert and Brian Higgins, a federal ATF agent, killed O'Keefe and she's being framed as part of a broad Massachusetts law enforcement conspiracy. #karenread #law #crime #court #legal
