In a motion filed Friday in the Karen Read murder case, the Commonwealth includes another shocking allegation – they found “microscopic pieces of red and clear apparent plastic” on his shirt.
The few remaining bad faith actors clinging to the fairy tale that Karen Read killed John O’Keefe are celebrating as if this is some sort of bombshell. It’s not, and it means very little. Karen Read’s entire defense is predicated around the theory that Michael Proctor planted tail light evidence, which is backed up by Canton and Dighton police reports. Planting tail light evidence in his clothing would align with that theory.
The Canton Police’s report from January 30, 2022, lists all of the witnesses and evidence from the scene.
Today is Brian Albert’s birthday. Hopefully his last as a free man.
A few things are notable from this:
- Karen Read is not listed as a witness, despite not being charged with any crime on this date
- Brian Albert’s name is simply listed as B Albert – the only person whose entire name isn’t listed
- Caitlin Albert and Tristin Morris are listed as witnesses despite allegedly leaving at 12:15
- The list excludes Colin Albert, Sarah Levinson, Allie McCabe, and Ryan Nagel (the most important witness who got the closest to the Lexus)
- Despite being listed as witnesses, State Police and Canton Police did not interview Morris, Caitlin Albert, Brian Albert Jr, or Julie Nagel (who was finally interviewed 9 months later)
- Proctor and Bukhenik extensively interviewed bartenders and other people who were at CF McCarthy’s and the Waterfall Bar, knew every move Karen Read made at those places, but did almost no interviews with the people who were inside 34 Fairview Road
- There is no tail light evidence listed because the Canton Police did not find any tail light fragments when they searched the scene after John’s body had been removed
- John’s clothing were not entered into evidence until March 14, 2022
From January 29, 2022 to March 14, 2022 the whereabouts of John’s clothing were unknown. On several occasions Karen Read’s attorneys have asked to inspect John’s clothing. On May 22, 2022, Attorney Yannetti sent an email to ADA Lally requesting to inspect the clothing, which was ignored. As a result they were forced to file a motion on August 11, 2022 to inspect the clothing, which was allowed by Judge Krupp.
But the clothes were never tested or inspected by the defense. They emailed Lally on December 16 asking again. On January 5 they had a Zoom meeting with Lally in which he said he would let them know by January 16 when they could inspect the clothing, but he never got back to them. On February 1, 2023 they were once again forced to file a motion asking to inspect his clothing.
At a February 8, 2023 hearing Lally responded to the motion to compel by promising to give the defense access to John’s clothing within 30 to 60 days, but he never followed through. On April 26, 2023, the defense filed yet another motion to compel that Judge Cannone still has not ruled on.
Why would Karen Read’s attorneys fight so desperately to have John O’Keefe’s clothing tested if they thought any of it had tail light on it? As the lead investigator Trooper Proctor had access to the clothing this entire time. Why did they wait a year and a half to finally test the evidence? Are we to believe that the man who has been caught repeatedly lying in police reports in an effort to frame Karen Read would suddenly be above planting more tail light on John’s clothing? The Commonwealth has provided no pictures of the clothing, and Karen Read’s defense team has not been able to inspect the clothing. Now they are asking the publicly to blindly take the word of a stat agencies that have been caught lying a plethora of times throughout this process.
And please, explain to me the physics of how microscopic tail light fragments ended up on John’s shirt without his chest having any sort of bruising? A Lexus LX weighs close to 3 tons. If an object that large, made largely of metal, was traveling 27 mph when it struck John O’Keefe’s chest and embedded tail light fragments into his shirt, then how does he not have any broken bones or bruises below his neck?
The new evidence is not a bombshell. It’s just more confirmation that these criminals are determined to frame Karen Read for murder.

Very odd DA Morrissey , trooper Proctor, and the Canton Police did not find large “shattered” pieces of plastic on JO’s body, only microscopic pieces. Seems very incongruent and suspicious.
Ooh…. Let us Not Forget, that “Berky”, found “Taillight Fragments”, while driving down Fairview, 1 week After the Coverup Murder, while supposedly on “Leave”, After the plows had been through multiple times, on a “Hunch”…. What are the odds??? Also, how many taillight fragments have been found to date?? Large or small or now microscopic??
Is there anything left to test?? Will all these Fragments found, fit back in the original taillight??? This is the most interviewed taillight in History!!
This whole case against her should be thrown out based on the simple fact that the crime scene was not processed by protocol & chain of evidence was broken on every piece if evidence they supposedly have!! None of it is credible at this point, nevermind all the lies along the way!! Based on the simple fact that this was not handled properly from the very beginning this entire case should be thrown out on that ALONE!! AND EVERYONE INVOLVED THAT HANDLED THIS IMPROPERLY SHOULD BE HELF ACCOUNTABLE!!!! #JusticeforJohnandKaren
You mind if I ask you a question?
“You try to contrive a perfect alibi, and it’s your perfect alibi that’s gonna hang ya.” (Woof)
Columbo
Did they test it for human hair?
I have a Lexus. I could not hit an object in front of me, without the car braking n it’s own. I have a GX 460, and an RX 350, BOTH sense any stationary object, at any speed I am traveling, and slams on the brakes.
You can’t tell me, that her LX570 doesn’t have that. It is impossible for her to have hit John O’keefe, even if she wanted to. The computer would over ride the accelerator and push harder on the brake.
This case is a sham. This case is a set up. This case is a conspiracy of dumb animals trying to explain away facts, physics, and technology, by omitting reality.
my 22 explorer does the SAME THING. I was backing in a parking spot on Friday and there was a boulder at the edge of the grass parking spot and as I got about 2 feet close to it my car thumped to a stop and I seriously thought I hit it! I got out in a panic but it was just my vehicle slamming on its brakes on its own!
Then why did it NOT brake automatically when she hit Johns car early the next morning? No way he was killed by being hit by her car…. I don’t believe that anyway. Just saying…
Are all of these documents publicly available from court website? Just an FYI- these show full names, DOB and SSN in the first doc. Friendly suggestion- the SSN’s should be redacted to avoid potential legal issues. Keep up the excellent work, this entire case is a travesty.
Never post someone’s SSN unless you post your own SSN next to it.
TRUST THE SCIENCE
Get rid of the “Canton Police Report page 2”. Sensitive info!
It’s a public police report.
DA continues to add murky evidence into this case – again no one is going to believe microscopic tail light pieces landed on Johns clothing without large pieces being all over the place. Also no lower body injuries- really? Almost like they want to create more and more reasonable doubt so Read will walk and at the same time no one looks into what really happened in and out if that house and by whom.
Woof woof. Tell me you’re corrupt and belong in a South American prison without telling me you you’re corrupt and belong in a South American prison. Woof woof.
why is higgins address the police station
Why would anybody be suprised by this blatant corruption, by the DA, Staties, or the canton pd? If they can steal an election in front everyones eyes, they can sure as shit railroad Karen! We have to put these low lifes away or we’re all fucked!! Keep rockin them TB 💪
Woof woof… these taillight fragments, when you glue them all together, is gonna make a taillight the size of a garbage can lid! Woof woof.
Is this a joke? They actually expect people to believe this? Pretty sure taillights aren’t made of tempered glass… In order to shatter a tailight, you’d need to hit something very hard at a very high speed, or simply use a hammer like the Canton Police did.
You mean like Proctor did.
DAs office just throwing as much shit against the wall as they can, and seeing what sticks. Problem is Morrissey has the runs from drinking too much Whiskey. … so nothing will stick. There was an unsecured crime scene, no crime scene log with the names, times, titles, of anyone who was in the crime scene. The contamination in that scene could be astronomical. This is standard Police protocol and it was ignored. This is pure desperation on the Prosecutions part. They should know, Only “Journalism Jesus” can make taillights float to the top of 2 feet of snow, cause microscopic pieces of taillight to appear under a t-shirt.
I’m just wondering how long the feds are going to let this go on for. They obviously know Karen is innocent.
It’s coming, just wait for it. Fat Mike is gonna come out and say there is inconsistencies with the evidence, or some other bullshit story, and gonna drop charges against KR, he’ll give her a big “we’re sorry”. It’s gettin hot in here, eh Mike?
Are they sure it was tail light fragments and not a white substance that mostly fell out of Jill McCabes nose.
Your article helped me a lot, is there any more related content? Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good.
I simply cannot believe a superior court judge (if you can even call classless cannone a judge, maybe a magistrates judge!!!) can be as clearly, outright manipulatively biased toward the Commonwealth in a real court of law without being reprimanded for her clear and evident attempts to sway the jury in favor of the commonwealth. For example, has anyone EVER heard a judge literally ASK THE DA if “they want to object”??
I hope the feds are investigating her first and foremost right behind Proctor and the McAlberts!!
What is Canton going to do with all that payroll money when they all go to federal prison and rot away? This case has to be the laughing stock of U. S. court system by reason of cannone’s favorite, repeatedly used line for her bias… “Mr. Jackson, because it’s the way things are done here in Massachusetts”. ROFLMAO
