Crime Lab Expert Testifies in Karen Read Trial

The Karen Read trial continued on May 14th, 2025, with testimony from Maureen Hartnett, a forensic expert from the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab. Hartnett's direct examination focused on photographic evidence of a Lexus SUV, a key piece of evidence in the case. "I noticed there was some damage to the rear passenger area of the vehicle," Hartnett testified, as shown in the video. The video shows the prosecution presenting various photos of the vehicle from different angles, which Hartnett confirmed as accurate representations of her observations. The trial continues.
