It's over. “

It was a big moment in court, just weeks before the repeat of Read, which is supposed to begin for April 1st.

“It is deliberate to achieve persistent strategic investments to achieve the potential jury pool,” said Brennan.

“In terms of the communications in which Mr. Proctor was involved, I honestly said this topic and simply not connected to the protection arrangement when I designed it. It just didn't register with me. It was important to me, ”said defender David Yannetti.

In the meantime, Read's lawyers don't want Dr. James Crosby, a dog behavior consultant, takes a position.

You say that O'keefe could have been attacked by the German Shepherd of Homeowner Chloe.

Crosby compared photos of O'keefes injuries to the dogs' teeth and said they do not match.

“They all know that when one of them speaks, they speak for the entire defense team,” said Cannone.

The pre -judicial hearing will continue in Dedham on Wednesday.
