Prosecutors unveiled new evidence on Thursday, including the run-up for testing Karen Reid, which included a long-awaited DNA evidence from the scene, as they argued why they felt the murder case on the murder of John O’Kif in Canton, Massachusetts, they should move forward.
The office also shared witness accounts, which he said, his relationship with O’Kif was kept under stress at the time of his death.
Reid is accused of killing a second degree in the murder of O’Keef, a Boston police officer, who was found dead outside a Canton house in January 2022.
The case has attracted national attention. The state alleged that O’Keef read the hit O’Kif with his vehicle and left him to die in the snow, while reading that he was being implicated in a large -scale coverup.
NBC10 Boston said on Wednesday that Norfock County District Attorney Michael Morissy on Friday filed a set of documents while arguing against Reid’s efforts.
In the new court documents, Massachusetts prosecutors argue that the case against Karen Reid should not be thrown out.
In another memorandum filed on Wednesday, the prosecutors said that O’Kif’s DNA was recovered from the broken tail of the reed vehicle. He also shared the details of the case brought before a grand jury two years ago, in which a debate was made against the motion of Reid to toss the prosecutors against him.
Read and O’Kif was drinking with a group of people, including Boston Police Officer Brian Albert on January 28, 2022. Group members went back to Albert’s Fairview Road, and read that he dropped O’Kif from there and went home. He was found the next morning and declared dead in a hospital.
The prosecutors alleged that O’Kif read with his SUV and left him to die. But Reid’s lawyers have said that O’keefe is being attacked indoors and brought out between other points, that the wounds on his body were not in line with an accident.
A woman accused her police officer of killing her lover, who has argued that she is being implicated, fighting for more access to the phone records that they say they will show a conflict of interest.
In the District Attorney’s office, it has now been said that a short hair stuck on the passenger side of the Reid’s SUV has been identified as O’Kif.
Prosecutors wrote, “Through trace analysis and forensic test, Massachusetts State Police Crime Laboratory discovered the victim’s DNA, which is present on the red and clear clear plastic broken taillight and micro pieces located in the victim’s clothes.” “Comparison tests were held, and the results show that the subtle pieces of red and clear plastic are corresponding to the broken pieces of plastic from the rear taillight of the defendant.”
Documents portray the relationship between Reid and O’Kif. According to the prosecution, the officer’s niece and nephew, who had been in care of his parents for years after the death of his parents, made consistent arguments in the interview with the police after his uncle’s death.
In the sound mail recovered from O’Keef’s phone, the office of the District Attorney says that “was left in the period of his death”, allegedly shouted, “John, IF *** ING U,” made him a spoil and accused him of cheating him.
Prosecutors said that several witnesses had described Aruba’s visit a month before O’Kif’s death. O’Keef’s niece, who was 14 years old, allegedly stated that Reid had accused O’Keef of kissing someone else, giving a 20 -minute argument in his hotel room.
For a long time, a friend of O’Kif told the police that he had organized the Aruba Yatra inviting about 70 people. The woman’s sister described an encounter with O’Keef and read that she hugged O’Kif after hitting her in the lobby.
District Attorney’s office wrote, “He heard the defendant Yale, ‘John, which was f ***”. It is being told that this was the sister of her friend, “The defendant then said, ‘I do not give F ***,’ then shouted [the woman] ‘F *** you.’
According to the prosecutors, a person who was present a night before O’Kif’s body before O’Kif’s body, stated that “surprised him with a kiss on the lips”.
The man showed the texts between him and read the state police, which the prosecutors described as “romantic in nature”. In one of them, she allegedly told her that she should not worry about O’Keef not to find out about the kiss “as she knows the camera is at the victim’s house.”
Asked if she was happy in her relationship with O’Kif, read the man allegedly said that O’Kif had cheated her during the Aruba visit.
NBC10 Boston has arrived for reading lawyers on Thursday, but has not heard back.
The case is scheduled to begin on March 12, despite the recent request of both prosecutors and protect the reid to delay it. Both sides were waiting for DNA evidence, which Reed’s lawyers have noted that it has taken them several years to process.
