Fox news reports about the visit to the murder site. They had the car there so the jury could inspect the rear taillight and see the car position in relation to where JO's body lay. This is good IMO.
When they returned to court there was the paramedic on the stand who transported KR to the hospital. They also had the path lab technician who tested her BAC taken at 9 a.m. and it was .093, which is higher than the limit for driving, more than 9 hours after her last drink. So imagine how drunk she was at the time she hit him.
Karen Read pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the death of Boston police officer John O’Keefe and is facing a retrial after a jury was unable to reach a verdict last year.

The prosecution called firefighter and paramedic Jason Becker as their final witness of the day, with Becker testifying about his interaction with Karen Read in the ambulance to the local hospital after John O’Keefe’s body was discovered.
Becker said his primary role at the time was to gather information regarding Read’s mental state as she was being transported for a psychological evaluation, describing her as “agitated” at certain points but overall cooperative with first responders.
Becker also testified that Read expressed being upset that her final moments with O’Keefe consisted of the pair fighting.
Following multiple objections regarding both side’s questions surrounding Read's description of an argument with O'Keefe while speaking to Becker, Judge Beverly Cannone dismissed the jurors for the day, ending the first week of testimony in Read’s trial.

Karen Read’s trial resumed following the jury’s trip to 34 Fairfield Road with the prosecution calling Dr. Garrey Faller, a lab director at Signature Healthcare. Faller previously worked as chief of pathology and laboratory medical director at Good Samaritan Medical Center at the time of John O’Keefe’s murder January 2022.
Faller’s lab drew Read’s blood samples at 9:08 a.m. on Jan. 29, 2022, with the tests finding Read’s blood alcohol level (BAC) was 93 milligrams per deciliter of alcohol, or 0.093% - above the 0.08% legal limit permitted to operate a vehicle and nine hours after she left the bar.
Faller went on to explain the methods his lab uses to test blood samples is somewhat different from forensic testing by testing liquid within the specimen using “serum tests."
