On Day 8 of Karen Read’s retrial, key prosecution witness Jennifer McCabe concluded her testimony after intense cross-examination by defense attorney Alan Jackson. McCabe, a former friend of Read, testified that Read repeatedly said, “I hit him,” after discovering the body of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, in the snow. However, Jackson highlighted inconsistencies in McCabe’s statements, noting that her claim about Read’s alleged confession was absent from initial police reports and grand jury testimony. McCabe admitted to being "untruthful" with investigators and acknowledged omitting key information during her initial interviews, later correcting herself. She denied coordinating her statements with other witnesses, despite Jackson's suggestions to the contrary .
ollowing McCabe’s testimony, the prosecution called forensic scientist Hannah Knowles to the stand. Knowles testified that Read’s blood alcohol concentration was 0.093% at 9:08 a.m. on the morning O’Keefe’s body was found. The defense questioned the reliability of this measurement, arguing that it was based on assumptions about when Read last consumed alcohol. The day concluded with the court adjourning for the weekend, and Knowles is expected to resume her testimony on Monday .
