Trooper Exposes Evidence Problems: Connor Keefe Testifies in Karen Read Trial

In a critical moment for the prosecution, Massachusetts State Police Trooper Connor Keefe took the stand in the Karen Read murder trial to discuss his role in processing the crime scene where Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe was found. His testimony focused on the physical evidence collected outside 34 Fairview Road—including the notorious broken taillight pieces and a single white sneaker—which the prosecution argues connects directly to Read’s SUV.
But Keefe’s testimony quickly veered into controversial territory when he described discovering an extra taillight fragment in a sealed evidence bag that originally contained just two pieces. This unexpected “third piece” raised serious questions about chain of custody and whether the evidence was mishandled or possibly contaminated.
While Keefe insisted he followed protocol, the defense seized on the inconsistency, suggesting it pointed to broader problems in the investigation. For supporters of Karen Read, this moment may fuel suspicions of a cover-up or sloppy police work. For the prosecution, Keefe’s straightforward demeanor and consistent testimony were aimed at reinforcing the narrative that Read backed into O’Keefe with her vehicle—hard evidence in the form of shattered plastic and blood trails.
Trooper Keefe’s testimony ultimately illustrated the tightrope prosecutors are walking: presenting damning physical evidence while defending the integrity of a deeply scrutinized investigation. If jurors believe the evidence was compromised or altered—even unintentionally—it could cast doubt on the entire case. This video dives into what Keefe said, what it means, and why this day in court could sway the trial’s final outcome.
