The expert, Ian Whiffin, who works for Cellebrite, testified that O’Keefe’s cell phone never left the vicinity of the flagpole outside the home he was found outside of.
Read, 45, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of O’Keefe, who was found outside the home of a fellow Boston police officer on Jan. 29, 2022.
Norfolk County prosecutors say Read struck O’Keefe with her SUV while driving intoxicated. Read’s attorneys say her car never struck O’Keefe and that others are to blame for his death.
