Day 25 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 2, 2025. During week seven of the trial, the defense is currently presenting its case, and they are keeping in mind that the prosecution will have rebuttal witnesses.


Judge Cannone allowed Former Trooper Michael Proctor's texts to be admitted into evidence while being read by his childhood friend, Jonathan Diamandis. When the texts messages began to get really egregious, the witness didn't feel comfortable reading it allowed so Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, read them allowed while the witness confirmed what was said. This didn't offer for the truth of the matter but instead, focusing on his state of mind and potential bias in the investigation.


A key witness, Kelly Dever, a former Canton police officer, testified about seeing Chief Burkowitz and Brian Higgins with Karen Reed's SUV for a long time the night of John O'Keefe's death. She later claimed this was a false memory influenced by a timeline. She also mentioned being interviewed by the FBI and being threatened with perjury by the defense team.


Dr. Marie Russell, a dog bite expert, discussed John O'Keefe's injuries to his right arm. Dr. Russell believes the injuries are consistent with a dog attack and not with a motor vehicle accident. The cross-examination of Dr. Russell is ongoing, focusing on her expertise, marketing, and opinions. Cross examination will continue on Day 26!
