Livestream: Karen Read's lawyers finish Jennifer McCabe's cross-examination
Briefly

In the ongoing murder retrial of Karen Read, witness Jennifer McCabe faces intense scrutiny following accusations of dishonesty and collusion with other witnesses. While denying these allegations, McCabe's recollection of Read's statements upon finding her boyfriend, Officer John O'Keefe, raises contradictions regarding her prior testimony. Prosecutors claim Read was responsible for O'Keefe's death, while her defense alleges a broader conspiracy. This retrial follows a previous mistrial, where the jury was unable to reach a decision, making the outcome critical for all parties involved.
McCabe's testimony revealed the tension between her claims about Read's statements and previous grand jury testimony, raising questions about credibility.
Defense lawyers suggest a cover-up, with the assertion that O'Keefe was assaulted before ending up unresponsive outside.
Jennifer McCabe stands firm, insisting she accurately recalled Read's statements to first responders while defending against allegations of lying to law enforcement.
The trial's current phase is critical as Read seeks clarity after her first trial resulted in a mistrial due to jury deadlock.
