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.
