Prosecutors allege that Read hit O'Keefe with her SUV during a snowstorm on Jan. 29, 2022, following a night of drinking.

Testimony resumes Tuesday in the Karen Read murder trial after Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik spent three days testifying in the high-profile case. Defense attorney Alan Jackson on Monday focused on the investigation into the death and Bukhenik's role as Michael Proctor's supervisor. Bukhenik admitted he saw text messages from Proctor. In one text, Proctor used a derogatory term to refer to Read. In another, he told co-workers "no nudes so far," while searching Read's phone.
