Brian Albert, a former Boston Police officer and owner of the Canton home where Officer John O'Keefe was found deceased, testified in the Karen Read murder trial. He recounted that on the night of January 28, 2022, he, along with Read, O'Keefe, and others, were at the Waterfall Bar & Grille in Canton. Albert stated that after leaving the bar, several individuals returned to his residence at 34 Fairview Road for an informal gathering. He testified that neither O'Keefe nor Read entered his home that night and that he was unaware of their presence outside his residence. Albert also mentioned that he did not hear any disturbances or notice any unusual activity during the early morning hours.
During cross-examination, Albert faced questions regarding the timing of his cellphone upgrade, which occurred around September 22, 2022—just before he was informed of a preservation order for his phone data. He explained that his previous phone was malfunctioning, prompting the upgrade. Additionally, Albert addressed an inadvertent call made to fellow witness Brian Higgins early on January 29, 2022, attributing it to accidental dialing. The defense scrutinized these points, suggesting potential issues with evidence preservation and communication between witnesses.
In the Karen Read murder trial, defense attorney David Yannetti accused Canton firefighter and paramedic Katie McLaughlin of perjury during her testimony. McLaughlin had described her relationship with Caitlin Albert, daughter of Brian and Nicole Albert—whose home was central to the case—as distant, stating they were merely high school acquaintances who hadn't discussed the case. However, Yannetti presented new evidence, including photographs from a June 2021 baby shower, suggesting a closer relationship between McLaughlin and Albert than previously indicated. Yannetti asserted, "It's very clear to us that Katie McLaughlin perjured herself," highlighting the significance of these social connections to the defense's argument that Read was being framed to protect others involved in the incident.
