I’m actually sorry to start a blog with so graphic a photograph.

We’re typically not in the business of posting the mutilated remains of a deceased human being.

Especially not that of a police officer who died under tragic, but still unsolved circumstances.

But such is the nature of murder trials.

I regret that when I was in the Massachusetts Trial Court, I worked dozens of homicide trials.

It’s an unavoidable necessity in the search for the truth.

And that is the defense’s contention that Karen Read didn’t hit O’Keefe with her car.

A key component of that claim?

Specifically the Alberts' German Shepherd, Chloe.

That would be the Chloe that was never produced at the trial.

To support their theory about the dog attack, the defense called an expert to testify.

(Note: The audio is sped up.

My guess is 1.5X.

We got the results today.

Because this latest lead counsel is not going to leave a stone unturned.

Or a defense expert left unchallenged.

Which should be fine by everyone.

Even if you’re 100% Free Karen Read to the core of your being.

It’s up to these “experts” to prove their expertise.

Which apparently this dog bite forensics expert did.

Which is how this is all supposed to work.

As far as the next step?

I’ll keep you posted.

We’re in for an insane few months around here.
