Witness Retracts Key Testimony in Karen Read Trial: Perjury Concerns Emerge

The Karen Read trial continues to unfold with dramatic developments. Yesterday, a key witness, appearing on Day 25 of the proceedings, dramatically reversed her earlier testimony. She had previously stated that she saw Brian Albert and Chief Berkowitz together at the Sally Port garage on January 29, 2025. However, under intense questioning, the witness retracted her statement. She attributed the initial claim to a 'distorted memory,' citing information received from the defense that indicated her recollection was inaccurate. The witness also confirmed a previous interview with law enforcement and acknowledged that she understood that lying to law enforcement is a crime. This development has raised significant questions about the credibility of witness testimony and the ongoing investigation. The case continues to capture public attention and raises concerns about the reliability of initial statements given under pressure.
