Karen Read Murder Retrial: Day 15 Highlights Key Evidence and Witness Testimony

The retrial of Karen Read for murder resumed on May 14, 2025, after a day's postponement due to unavoidable circumstances. Court TV's live coverage captured key moments, including the testimony of Sergeant Yuri Bukhenik, who presented crucial evidence. Bukhenik's cross-examination involved the reading of flirty text messages between Karen Read and Brian Higgins. The defense's theory, suggesting Higgins had motive, was explored. When asked for his opinion, Bukhenik stated, "He would need to confront Mr. O'Keefe. Mr. O'Keefe was not the one pursuing Mr. Higgins; it was your client that was pursuing Mr. Higgins." The niece and nephew of Officer John O'Keefe are expected to testify. Despite no cameras allowed, Court TV provided updates throughout the day, highlighting the ongoing legal proceedings.
