Day 14 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 12, 2025. Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik Testimony concluded today. Topics discussed included accessing Michael Proctor accessing the Ring app on John O'Keefe's cell phone instead of an image of his phone, context of the derogatory text messages by Michael Proctor and Bukhenik's glowing performance review of Michael Proctor despite acknowledging those vile messages.
The defense questioned Sergeant Buchanan about Brian Higgins' movements and activities in the early morning hours, based on video footage. They also inquired about the investigation's handling of Higgins' text messages and potential motives.
The defense highlighted areas they believed the investigation did not adequately explore, such as Higgins' potential jealousy and his whereabouts at the time of the incident. Discussion also revolved around text messages between Higgins and the Read, and whether the police properly verified those messages.
The court has not yet made a decision on motions filed by the Commonwealth, including motions to preclude hearsay and introduce evidence about the relationship between the defendant and the victim. If granted, the witnesses at the Aruba trip could be called in to testify.
