During Monday’s proceedings in Karen Read’s retrial, the defense’s crash reconstruction expert, Daniel Wolfe, admitted under cross-examination that he had broken a court sequestration order during Read’s first trial by sending notes to the defense team. Sequestration rules are designed to prevent witnesses from being influenced by others’ testimony, but Wolfe acknowledged forwarding a series of observations while court was in session in 2023. This disclosure led Judge Beverly Cannone to pause the trial for an evidentiary hearing to assess the severity and potential impact of Wolfe’s actions. The revelation was a major blow to Read’s defense, which had heavily leaned on Wolfe’s expert analysis to challenge the prosecution’s narrative about how Boston police officer John O’Keefe died.

The prosecution hammered Wolfe’s breach to cast doubt on his objectivity, suggesting that his communications may have improperly influenced trial strategy. Meanwhile, the defense attempted to frame Wolfe’s notes as technical and benign, arguing they were not intended to shape the trial’s outcome. Wolfe also testified Monday that based on his analysis, he believes O'Keefe was struck by a vehicle — but crucially, he could not conclusively say whether it was Karen Read’s SUV that hit him. This admission, combined with his sequestration violation, weakened the strength of his testimony at a pivotal moment in Read’s second trial, where she faces serious charges including second-degree murder and manslaughter.
