Karen Read prosecutor confirms the federal investigation into John O'keefes death is over

The prosecutor in the Karen Read Case said on Tuesday that John O'keefes's federal investigation was over.

Hank Brennan made the announcement during the last hearing before the procedure on Tuesday in front of the Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham, Massachusetts.

Read has not guilty and accuses several people, including the law enforcement agencies, to have tried to frame them. The top -class first attempt ended with one last summer “Greatly shared” Jury hung up.

Federal examinations officially over

When Brennan argued on Tuesday for a gag command for the defense on Tuesday, he confirmed a WBZ TV report From last week it ends that the federal examination in O'keefe's death has ended.

“There is no longer a federal investigation into the investigation of John O'keef's death or related matters. It is closed. It is over,” Brennan told the court.

A short time later, Helena Rafferty, chief of police from Canton, published a brief explanation.

“I recently spoke to the US public prosecutor and was informed that all aspects of the federal investigation, which initiated by its predecessor and refer to the death of John O'Keefe, concluded.

WBZ once again contacted the US law firm on Tuesday to confirm or refuse messages about the federal investigations. The investigators replied again in an e -mail: “We have no comment.”

GAG order request

Brenan asked judge Beverly Cannone on Tuesday to defend sanctions and to set future defenses under seals until it is found that there is no protected material and essentially stop the current media strategy of the defense of open interviews.

A short time later, David Yannetti argued on behalf of the defense. Cannon did not make a decision on the matter.

The case was in court on February 25 for continuing a hearing that was suddenly stopped a week earlier. Judge Cannone said Experts for crash reconstructionists For Arcca.

Wolfe and Rentschler testified during the first attempt Due to their tests, O'keefe's injuries did not match the ania of a car. Both were commissioned by the federal government as part of the Investigation of the US lawyer in dealing with the case. However, the public prosecutor expressed concerns that Wolfe and Readschler had been paid for by Read's defense and were not impartial, as Read's lawyers said.

On Tuesday, Cannone asked defender Robert Alessi why she was not introduced to her at the same time. Alessi said he didn't know that Wolfe and Rentschler were paid in court until Sunday, February 16, days before his introduction.

Cannone replied by Read's defense team: “What you all know is one and the same.” The application was unsolved from Tuesday afternoon.

After Cannone heard these arguments, she also heard applications for the exclusion of statements from two Commonwealth experts – the expert from Hundbiss, Dr. James Crosby and Ground Hardness Expert Robert Gilman.

The defense argued that Crosby was not a doctor and should be excluded because “he is clearly not qualified”. Alessi said that Gilman is a meteorologist and “that's not what meteorologists do”. Both movements also remain unsolved.
