Overview

• Snowplow driver Brian Loughran testified he made multiple passes by 34 Fairview Road between 2:45 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Jan. 29, 2022, and saw no body in the snow outside the house where John O’Keefe was found
• Dighton Police Officer Nicholas Barros said the damage to Read’s SUV taillight was far less extensive at her parents’ home than in photos taken later at the Canton police garage
• Dr. Marie Russell, an emergency physician and former forensic pathologist, asserted that arm injuries on O’Keefe were consistent with canine claws even though no dog DNA was found on his sweater
• Defense attorneys submitted proposed jury instructions underscoring Read’s right not to testify, signaling she may exercise that option without prejudice from jurors
• Karina Kolokithas, a friend of both Read and O’Keefe, testified that Read did not appear intoxicated and described odd interactions among officers that bolster the defense’s conspiracy claims
