The prosecution on Wednesday is showing new video evidence in Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham as witness testimony continues on Day 7 of the Karen Read murder trial.

Read, 44, of Mansfield, is facing charges including second-degree murder in the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend John O’Keefe.

New evidence presented on Day 7 includes surveillance video from inside CF McCarthy’s in Canton that shows Read and O’Keefe embracing just hours before his body was found in the snow at 34 Fairview Avenue.

Witnesses called to the stand so far: Canton Police Lt. Charles Rae, Canton resident Michael Camerano, Canton resident Katherine Camerano, and Canton resident Curt Roberts. Rebecca Trayers, also of Canton, is currently on the stand.

PREVIOUS STORY:

Testimony on Wednesday is expected to start with a new dashcam video that shows Read’s Lexus SUV in O’Keefe’s driveway a couple of hours after his body had been found in the snow in the front yard of 34 Fairview Road in January 2022.

The prosecution has previously said that daylight video shows damage to Read’s taillight. In court Tuesday, the defense continued questioning why evidence of the broken taillight wasn’t found until days later.

Tuesday’s testimony focused on a busted cocktail glass and a piece of broken taillight in the snow. The prosecution said the taillight and other evidence led them directly to Read.

The defense has argued that Read is a scapegoat for a well-connected group of people, who were at a party inside 34 Fairview Road in Canton on the night of O’Keefe’s death. Read’s attorneys have long argued that O’Keefe was beaten up inside the home and then dragged outside.

Prosecutors claim Read struck O’Keefe with her luxury Lexus SUV while making a three-point after dropping him off at the home. They allege she fled the scene and left him to die in a blizzard in January 2022.

Photos of items that police used to store and collect evidence at the scene of O’Keefe’s death, including red solo cups, a leaf blower, and a grocery bag, were shown in court on Monday.

Last week, jurors traveled to Canton for a tour of the crime scene outside retired Boston Police Officer Brian Albert’s former home, where the body of O’Keefe was found.

Also, a focus during last week’s testimony was Read’s demeanor and the words she uttered at the crime scene. Testimony from two police officers and two firefighters described Read as distraught and screaming and that O’Keefe had no pulse and wasn’t breathing.
