Overview

• The defense began presenting its case on June 2 in Norfolk Superior Court after prosecutors rested last week.
• Crash reconstruction expert Matthew DiSogra testified that the prosecution’s method of syncing the SUV’s clock and John O’Keefe’s cellphone data may be unreliable.
• A former Canton police officer who did not testify at the first trial is slated to take the stand as the second defense witness.
• Read’s team maintains that O’Keefe was fatally beaten inside a house and possibly mauled by a German Shepherd before his body was staged on the lawn.
• Additional defense witnesses scheduled include Dr. Marie Russell on bite-mark injuries and ARCCA experts disputing whether O’Keefe’s injuries are consistent with a vehicle impact.
