Yeah I caught a bit early on and figured i would not be able to listen to it all so i will watch the PE video instead. Any idea when they will rest?
I kept it on but yeah it gets a bit dry. No idea on resting. Since the D goes overboard on cross for longer than necessary, it could be awhile, hard to say. One can tell which witnesses they are most worried about based on who they go long with lol.
Yeah, glass is significant and the KR fans will do what they always do--make up another excuse and claim he had the drink the the house and that it was broken and planted on him lol. It's gotten ridiculous the number of things they have to make up a story for or excuse. Imo.
Well, I'm not up to explaining the Bella thing or I would but back to the drinking glass, I'd never heard of John taking Read's drink from the vehicle and I was under the impression that the drinking glass collected from the scene wasn't Read's but John's and so I went back to Jackson's opening statement and get this: Jackson stated that when Read and John arrived at the Fairview house, they both got out of the vehicle, which is another circumstance I've never heard before! ...
All this new info !!!!!!! So why did she get out of the vehicle, according to him? I thought she said she wouldnt go in as she didn't feel great and also didnt think she would be welcome.Well, I'm not up to explaining the Bella thing or I would but back to the drinking glass, I'd never heard of John taking Read's drink from the vehicle and I was under the impression that the drinking glass collected from the scene wasn't Read's but John's and so I went back to Jackson's opening statement and get this: Jackson stated that when Read and John arrived at the Fairview house, they both got out of the vehicle, which is another circumstance I've never heard before! ...
I don't need to hear about Bella, I already known KR is a jearlous and paranoid and need shrew. Imo.Well, I'm not up to explaining the Bella thing or I would but back to the drinking glass, I'd never heard of John taking Read's drink from the vehicle and I was under the impression that the drinking glass collected from the scene wasn't Read's but John's and so I went back to Jackson's opening statement and get this: Jackson stated that when Read and John arrived at the Fairview house, they both got out of the vehicle, which is another circumstance I've never heard before! ...
As to what Jackson stated in his opening, he said they got out to make sure they had the right address
...
And that needed them both to get out to do that?As to what Jackson stated in his opening, he said they got out to make sure they had the right address
They have had more time to look at things, test things, etc. but I am taking a wait and see on some depending on where it came from.
Karen probably needed to be sure it wasn't some other woman's home.... Half sarcastic.
Per who? KR?As to what Jackson stated in his opening, he said they got out to make sure they had the right address

He does have a degree. They are twisting his credentials. He has an associate degree. That is as good as a bachelors with relevant experience in the field IMO. It also does not change the data he has discovered and is reporting on.The issue is not how long he took to "get his degree". He DOESN'T HAVE ONE!
So we're supposed to trust the testimony of a guy who LIED about his credentials and changed his report.
On cross-examination, Burgess was grilled on potential bias and “truthfulness” on his resume. Burgess listed on his resume provided to the court that he graduated from the University of Alabama with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and business administration. He acknowledged an “error” his resume should have stated that he had a bachelor’s degree in general studies with a minor in math, but he later admitted he did not possess a bachelor’s degree.
MA v. Karen Read Murder Retrial: Daily Trial Updates
Karen Read stood trial for a second time on charges she murdered her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe.
Robert Alessi, who asked the witness about the resume posted by Aperture, which lists him as having received a bachelor’s degree in 2022 in computer science and mathematics. Under cross-examination, Burgess admitted he does not have a bachelor's degree in mathematics, and in fact the school he listed does not offer one. In fact, Burgess admitted on the stand, he has been pursuing his bachelor's degree since 2008, raising questions about his company's report that tries to place blame on Read for O'Keefe's death.
"Either you have a bachelor of science degree or you don't," Alessi said at one point, after pointing out that in a new report Burgess wrote this month he changed the time of when the alleged "collision," which had been noted in earlier reports as an "incident," happened.

Burgess ultimately acknowledged some of the documents provided by the defense contained “errors.” Later in his cross-examination, Alessi confirmed Burgess began pursuing a bachelor’s degree 17 years ago, in 2008.
“And you have not obtained it as you sit here today?” he pressed.
“That is correct,” Burgess replied. He chalked the discrepancies in the documents up to errors or misinterpretation.

Because the D are just talking such ******** all the time and nothing changes the facts that her vehicle shows that she killed him and witness testimony shows she admitted it.
She needs to learn to shurt her mouth but never seems to. The D using the P word of ambush is downright funny almost.Testimony continues from yesterday.
I have cleaned up the rubbish data that copied when I pasted. Goodness knows what that all was.

DEDHAM, Mass. — Tuesday marks Day 19 of witness testimony in Karen Read’s murder retrial, and an expert who admitted during cross-examination on Monday that his credentials don’t line up with those on his resume is expected back on the stand.
Read, 45, of Mansfield, is accused of striking John O’Keefe, her Boston police officer boyfriend, with her Lexus SUV and leaving him to die alone in a blizzard outside of a house party in Canton at the home of fellow officer Brian Albert following a night of drinking.
NOW ON THE STAND: Shanon Burgess, digital forensics examiner for Aperture LLC
[ WATCH LIVE: Tuesday's testimony in Karen Read's retrial ]
Follow Ted Daniel’s court updates:
Texas-based Shanon Burgess, of the accident reconstruction, biomechanics and digital forensics company Aperture LLC, returned to stand Tuesday morning for another round of intense questioning.
On Monday, Burgess testified that data was missed from an initial investigation of the vehicle she was driving that can be used to more clearly pinpoint her movements on the morning her boyfriend was killed.
Burgess, who specializes in the analysis of digital forensics from vehicles and cell phones, didn’t participate in the initial investigation of Read’s car in 2023, but told the court on Monday that data from Read’s Lexus shows it made a three-point turn and traveled in reverse in the midnight hour of January 29, 2022.
Burgess claims the timing didn’t initially match up to movements recorded by O’Keefe’s phone until he synced the clocks in a new report.
Read’s team tried to poke holes in Burgess’s credibility, accusing the analyst of misleading clients about his academic credentials.
Shanon Burgess
Defense attorney Robert Alessi presented Burgess’s biography on the company website, which states that Burgess graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and business administration from the University of Alabama. Burgess’s LinkedIn profile, previously linked to his employer Aperture’s website, showed him having obtained a bachelor’s degree. On a different CV on the company’s website, Burgess is listed as having earned his bachelor’s degree from Alabama in 2022.
Copies of Burgess’s CV submitted to the court say he is “currently pursuing” the degree but does not yet have one.
Burgess said he graduated in 2015 with an associate’s degree. When Alessi asked when he began “pursuing” his bachelor’s degree, Burgess said in 2008.
“If I did the math correctly, you’ve been pursuing a bachelor of science degree for 17 years, correct?” he asked Burgess, asking him whether he was familiar with the terms “mendacity” and “academic dishonesty.”
Burgess said he doesn’t know why his resume on the company website contained inaccuracies, and that he hadn’t updated his LinkedIn profile for some time.
Alessi also questioned why Burgess waited to submit a new report about time stamp data obtained via the car modules on May 8, weeks after Read’s trial had begun.
“Do you think it’s fair to submit a report without anybody asking you in the middle of a trial?” he asked the expert. Burgess said the new report contained clarifications, not changes, to a previous analysis.
Last week, Read’s lawyers tried to prevent Burgess’s report from being presented to jurors and Aperture experts from testifying. They accused the prosecution of committing a pretrial discovery violation. But Judge Beverly Cannone let the prosecution proceed.
Outside of court on Monday, Read was not pleased, accusing special prosecutor Hank Brennan of springing new information about the case on her team at the last minute.
“Attorney Brennan represented to this court and us just last week that he was surprised to get a report on May 8th that was only shared with us on May 11th, and now we find out from this witness that attorney Brennan knew this report was coming the whole time,” Read told reporters. “That’s the definition of an ambush.”
Prosecutors allege Read intentionally backed into O’Keefe after she dropped him off at a house party and returned hours later to find him dead. The defense has claimed that she was a victim of a vast police conspiracy and that O’Keefe was fatally beaten by another law enforcement officer at the party.
A mistrial was declared last year after jurors said they were at an impasse and deliberating further would be futile.
Read has pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence, and leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death.
