Fri, 02 May 2025
This week in the Karen Read retrial was explosive. A prosecution cell phone expert admitted John O’Keefe’s phone may have entered 34 Fairview. Jen McCabe confessed to lying to the FBI. And witnesses confirmed the dog was nowhere in sight when they entered the house that morning.

What happened in the Karen Read trial this week?
Hey everybody, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise. Today we are doing our Karen Reid trial week two recap. I always have a tough time saying that. It's like say it five times fast. Karen Reid retrial week two recap. No, we're giving you the recap today like we do every Friday and there is quite a bit that went down this week.
Like last week, I'm going to have Elena, our correspondent who is there in Boston, boots on the ground, come in, join us, let us know firsthand what went down, what happened this week in the trial. And don't worry, for those of you who listened to the recap last week, we got Elena a better mic. We're working out some of the tech issues.
That was her very first time ever being on camera, being on mic. So I appreciate all of the supportive comments. We love Elena, guys. She's the best. So thank you guys for being supportive as we work out any audio tweaks. But anyway, she's going to be joining us and letting us know what went on.
But just to give you a little bit of like a taste for what we're going to be talking about, it was jam-packed this week. I mean, we had cell phone experts weigh in from Cellbrite where they had talked about
where the phone was traveling the movements that morning if John's phone could have been inside the house which of course a lot of that detail was not shared when it was direct examination he was saying that his phone went all the way to the flagpole that it never showed as going inside yet on cross when they brought up a diagram where it showed this like big white circle around the property and
and they were challenged, and the defense team pushed back saying, well, couldn't it be true that his phone could have been anywhere in this white circle, even on the edge, which is near the house?
He says, of course, yes, and that he omitted that from his presentation that he gave the previous day because, again, he is only supposed to present his version of what fits with the state's point of view. So there's a lot of interesting things we need to talk about regarding all of the cell experts' testimony.
Then Jen McCabe took the stand, the friend, the one who was there the morning they discovered John's body, the one who invited everybody back to Nicole and Brian Albert's house that evening. So she takes the stand and Feels very more like seems very more emotional than the first trial.
In my opinion, a lot of people were suggesting that she was maybe coached, that she needed to look a little bit softer, that her appearance had even changed a bit. But she walks through the events leading up to the discovery of John's body.
