Day 5 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 28, 2025. It began with testimony from Ian Whiffin of Cellebrite. He was approached by the Public Relations department to figure out why there is such confusion with the information from Jen McCabe's phone from the first trial. This new strategy from the Prosecution getting ahead of Jen McCabe's Google search for, "Hos long to die in cold," is smart and might take the string from that revelation when it is presented to the jury.
Mr. Whiffin created a Timeline, combining health data, temperature, call/text logs, and location data from O'Keefe's phone. Cross-examination was conducted by Robert Alessi by confirming points on the timeline and highlighting what was included or left out. The Cross Examination was cut short due to the jury having a half day so that the Voir Dire of the ARCCA witnesses could be done.
Hank Brennan did not use his time wisely when questioning the first ARCCA witness, Dr. Daniel Wolfe. Brennan accused Dr. Wolfe of being biased and assisting the defense with their case. Brennan yelled at Dr. Wolfe and didn't stop when the Judge asked him to. Judge Cannone eventually coaxed Brennan to move on and tighten his questioning with the next witness. The second ARCCA witness, Dr. Andrew Rentschler, admitted to having an uncomfortable lunch with Karen Read after he testified in court of the first trial. Judge Cannone requested ARCCA to send their report by May 7th. The Voir Dire is not done yet because the Prosecution and the Defense need to present their oral arguments. When will this happen? Stay tuned!
