What is an APR?

An APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the cost of credit expressed as a yearly rate. A Pawnbroking Loan is not designed to be a long-term loan. A Pawnbroking Loan charges interest daily which means the cost of credit could work out to be cheaper than unauthorised bank fees.

Earthquakes measuring over 3.0 rattle Dallas-Fort Worth area Wednesday afternoon

Two small earthquakes rattled residents in north Texas early Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The quakes were recorded a little after 1 p.m. local time near Mansfield, Texas, about 35 miles southwest of Dallas, the USGS reported.

The first temblor was about 3 miles deep and measured a magnitude of 3.0. The second temblor was about the same depth and measured a magnitude of 3.2.

Reports to USGS "Did You Feel It?" page classified both earthquakes as intensity IV events in the area surrounding the epicenter.

Aftershocks were felt in the area but there were no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage.

The last earthquake that measured over a 3.9 magnitude with an epicenter within 50 miles of Dallas was a 4.0 magnitude temblor that occurred in 2015, according to earthquakelist.org

Earthquake Wednesday: Earthquake reported in Corona, California area Wednesday afternoon measuring 4.1

Texans react to earthquake

The area around Dallas is not known for earthquakes, driving some Texans to social media to confirm what they felt.

The management jobs that pay the most in Mansfield, according to data

Posted: May 1, 2024 | Last updated: May 1, 2024

Highest-paying management jobs in Mansfield

Not everyone has what it takes to be a manager in today's workplace, and those who do tend to be well compensated.

Workers today are split on how they want to interact with their jobs. Half of workers want to blend their work and their personal lives, while the other roughly 50% prefer to keep them separate, according to Gallup polling . The lion's share want more flexibility in where they perform their work—at a time when businesses may have to buckle in for tougher economic conditions in the year ahead.

Whether overseeing a sales team or leading a commercial building project, these are the challenges that get management professionals out of bed in the morning.

Trump is funneling campaign money into cash-strapped businesses. Experts say it looks bad

Donald Trump’s  main 2024 White House campaign fundraising operation sharply increased spending at the former president's properties, including his Mar-a-Lago resort , in recent months, funneling money into his businesses at a time when he is facing  serious legal jeopardy  and  desperately needs cash.

Trump’s joint fundraising committee wrote three checks in February and one in March to his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, totaling $411,287 and another in March to Trump National Doral Miami for $62,337, according to a report filed to the Federal Election Commission this week.

Federal law and FEC regulations allow donor funds to be spent at a candidate’s business so long as the campaign pays fair market value, experts say. Trump  has been doing it for years , shifting millions in campaign cash into his sprawling business empire to pay for expenses such as  using his personal aircraft  for political events, rent at Trump Tower and events at his properties, which has included hotels and private clubs.

More: Trump said, 'We did that' on abortion. Did he give Biden a bumper sticker talking point?

While the practice is legal, some campaign finance experts believe it raises ethical concerns when a candidate is generating personal revenue off running for office.

“When voters see something like this happening it contributes to their distrust of the political system and their elected officials' motives,” said Shanna Ports, senior legal counsel with the Campaign Legal Center, a nonprofit government accountability group.

Trump faces huge legal costs amid multiple civil and criminal cases

The money Trump’s campaign is spending at his businesses could help the former president as he faces a big cash crunch.

Trump has been hit with a pair of large financial judgments after losing two civil lawsuits.

He posted a $91.6 million bond in  a defamation case brought by the writer E. Jean Carroll , and a $175 million bond in  a fraud case involving falsifying business records.  The New York attorney general is challenging whether the deal Trump made to post the larger bond payment is financially sound.

The payments Trump’s campaign has made to his businesses are small compared to his large  court-ordered financial judgements,  but have been growing in recent months.

The Trump campaign and affiliated political committees paid businesses owned by Trump at least $4.9 million since the start of 2023, according to an analysis by USA TODAY. Most of that money – $4.1 million – went to TAG Air, Inc. for air travel.

Trump lists TAG Air, Inc among his assets on his latest financial disclosure required of presidential candidates, with a value of between $5 million and $25 million. It operates his private aircraft, nicknamed Trump Force One.

Trump's various campaign committees and a super PAC controlled by his supporters also spent at least $809,000 at his properties since the beginning of last year.

Campaign spending at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Doral in Miami

The bulk of the campaign spending at Trump's properties since the start of 2023 — $663,000 — has been  at Mar-a-Lago,  and most of it occurred in February. It’s not clear what events the money went toward.

A Trump spokeswoman did not respond to specific questions about the campaign spending at his properties but instead sent a statement attacking  President Joe Biden.

Other GOP candidates also have been spending considerable campaign cash at Trump properties.

Ohio Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bernie Moreno's campaign spent $109,000 on "event catering" at Mar-a-Lago in April, December and January of 2023, records show.  Trump endorsed Moreno in December . Moreno won the primary in March and will face three-term Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in November.

Nevada U.S. Senate candidate Jim Marchant's campaign spent about $67,000 at Mar-a-Lago on "event venue rental and catering" in November and December. Trump backed Marchant in his unsuccessful bid to be Nevada's secretary of state in 2022. Marchant is now seeking to unseat first-term Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen.

A PAC called Giuliani Defense spent $2,400 on fundraising expenses and food at Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey in January. That PAC has spent $540,000 on legal fees, according to FEC filings.  Trump hosted a fundraiser  for Rudy Giuliani at Bedminster in September to help with the former New York mayor's legal costs, which stem in part from the criminal charges Giuliani faces in Fulton County, Georgia, for trying to help Trump overturn the 2020 election.

Trump hosted a party at Mar-a-Lago on March 5 with a large group of supporters to watch the Super Tuesday primary election results from 16 states. He also  held a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago in October  that drew hundreds of supporters, including U.S. Reps Marjorie Taylor Green and Byron Donalds, Texas attorney general Ken Paxton and the actress Roseanne Barr.

Another  fundraiser at Trump National Doral in March  was hosted by former Ambassador Carlos Trujillo, with the money benefiting the Make America Great Again, Inc. super PAC.

The Trump Save America Joint Fundraising Committee, which raises money for Trump’s campaign and his Save America leadership PAC accounted for the majority of the spending at Trump properties, with other expenses paid for by Trump’s main campaign committee, the MAGA Inc. super PAC and Save America.

Concerns about Trump's business conflicts go back to 2016 election

Questions about how Trump’s businesses have benefited from his political career have swirled around him throughout the former president’s three campaigns and his four years in the White House.

Under pressure to avoid potential conflicts of interest between his role as president and his vast business dealings, Trump declared after winning the 2016 election that he wouldn't cut any "new deals." The incoming president also put his two adult sons in charge of the family business,  which was controlled by a trust  that critics said didn't have strong enough requirements to prevent potential ethical conflicts.

Lawsuits accusing Trump of violating the emoluments clauses in the Constitution during his presidency  were unsuccessful.  Critics said those seeking to influence Trump's administration funneled money into his businesses,  including a hotel near the White House in Washington, D.C.  that has since been sold and rebranded as a Waldorf Astoria.

America Democracy Legal Fund filed a complaint with the FEC in 2016 alleging “Mr. Trump is using funds from his presidential campaign to further his business and personal interests." The complaint was dismissed, but concerns remain in the minds of some campaign finance experts.

"People should be running for office because they want to serve the public, not because they want to enrich themselves," Ports said. "So the fact that campaigns are allowed to pay the candidate’s business raises those concerns. While legal, it creates kind of a negative impression of the election system."

Richard Briffault, a legislation professor at Columbia Law School, said Trump's use of campaign funds at his businesses may not be illegal, but it's "a little bit dicey."

'Nobody's ever seen anything like it'

Briffault said the only comparable political candidate with such a sprawling business may be former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who ran for president as a Democrat, but even then, they’re not an exact comparison. “Everything with Trump, nobody’s ever seen anything like it,” he said.

The primary thing Trump’s businesses need to do is charge his campaign and PACs the same amount they would charge any other paying customer for the services. But there’s also an ethical question of whether the campaign and PACs could get a better deal somewhere else.

“How much are they charging? And to what extent are they putting people up who might be staying someplace else that might be cheaper?” Briffault asked. “You could imagine that there could be cheaper venues to these things, but they’re purposely holding them there.” 

Trump's leadership PAC also has been spending vast sums on attorneys as the president faces four criminal cases. He currently is  on trial in New York City  in a case involving alleged payments to an adult film star during the 2016 presidential campaign to keep her quiet about an alleged sexual affair.

Since days after the 2020 election,  the leadership PAC Save America spent  more than $72.5 million on legal bills to many of the same firms that are representing him in his civil and criminal cases. That fund accounts for the bulk of his legal spending, but his affiliated committees have spent millions more.

Spending money on legal issues is not unusual for a campaign, but campaign finance experts say Trump has pushed the boundaries of what is allowable.

On first day of testimony in murder trial, officer says Karen Read said ‘this is all my fault.’ Here’s a recap.

T he murder trial of Karen Read , the Mansfield woman accused of backing her SUV into her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe , and leaving him for dead during a blizzard in Canton in January 2022 after a night of heavy drinking, began on Monday.

Paul O’Keefe, John O’Keefe’s brother, was the first witness to take the stand. Paul’s wife, Erin, and Canton Police officer Steven Saraf testified after him. Earlier Monday, prosecutor Adam Lally and defense attorney David Yannetti delivered their statements.

Read has pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence of alcohol, and leaving the scene of personal injury or death.

First day of testimony concludes in Read trial — 3:57 p.m.

By Travis Andersen, Globe Staff

Testimony ended with Officer Saraf still on the stand. The defense will cross examine him on Tuesday.

”Please do not discuss this case with anyone,” Judge Cannone told jurors. “Don’t do any independent research or investigation into this case. If you happen to see, hear, or read anything about this case, please disregard it and let us know.”

Officer Saraf describes more footage — 3:54 p.m.

Saraf pointed to the area on his cruiser camera video where he saw Read, the two other women, and O’Keefe’s body. As the footage played, a female voice can be heard screaming in the background. A distressed Read appears on camera at one point, frantically moving around the area while at times bringing her hands to her head and face.

Footprints around O’Keefe’s body — 3:35 p.m.

Officer Saraf said there were “footprints and track marks” around O’Keefe’s body but “none coming from the residence.”

The footprints, he said, were “basically all around him, because people were walking around him.” He said he asked Read what happened and “she couldn’t really tell me too much about what happened. ... She was very upset.” He said one of the other women told him they had all been “drinking in a couple bars downtown.”

Saraf recounts Karen Read’s behavior at the scene — 3:29 p.m.

Saraf testified that he observed Read giving CPR to O’Keefe when he arrived on scene.

”She had blood on her face,” he said. He went to retrieve his AED device from his cruiser, he said, but fire officials arrived “and they took care of Mr. O’Keefe.”

When Saraf first arrived, he said, O’Keefe had blood on his face that was “wiped away.” Read during that time “was visibly upset,” Saraf said. “She kept saying ‘this is all my fault. This is all my fault. I did this.’ And she was very hysterical.” Read, Saraf said, kept asking if O’Keefe was dead. “I just said they’re doing the best that they can,” Saraf said.

Officer Saraf on O’Keefe: ‘I couldn’t find a pulse’ — 3:22 p.m.

Officer Saraf testified that when he first approached O’Keefe’s body he asked the women if he was having a drug-related issue, and someone responded no, telling Saraf that O’Keefe was a Boston officer.

”I couldn’t find any pulse or anything like that,” he said. “And he was cold to the touch. ... He was lying on his back.” O’Keefe’s body was located on the left side of the property, Saraf said. “I would say it was near blizzard conditions. It was snowing really, really hard.”

Police officer recounts responding to scene — 3:19 p.m.

Saraf said “it was snowing pretty good” a little after 6 a.m. when he responded to the scene, and that “it was dark out.” He said workers were plowing the roads at that time, and that “the roads were definitely slippery. It took me a while to get to the destination.”

He said he used a hand-held spotlight to try to locate the house on Fairview. “As I got to my destination I saw three people on the lawn in the snow waving at me.” He said three women, including Read, were present, as well as a “male subject on the ground,” whom he later learned was O’Keefe. He said he did not know O’Keefe previously.

Canton police Officer Steve Saraf takes the stand — 3:12 p.m.

Officer Steven Saraf of the Canton police took the stand next for prosecutors. A 27-year veteran of the force, he said he was working a midnight to 8 a.m. shift on the day O’Keefe died. He said he received a call for a person unconscious outside 34 Fairview Road in Canton. He said Fairview Road is in west sector, an area he was typically assigned to patrol.

Erin O’Keefe describes text from Read on Jan. 28 — 3:00 p.m.

On the afternoon of Jan. 28, Read texted her to ask if she was out without her husband, she testified. At the time, she was waiting for her daughter’s school bus to arrive.

”I asked her if everything was okay, if something was up,” she said. “And she responded, ‘just another day, I wish I didn’t talk to an O’Keefe after 2004,” when they briefly dated. “She said that he spoiled them,” referring to the children.

Erin O’Keefe discussed Aruba trip — 2:55 p.m.

Lally also asked her about the large family trip to Aruba a month before the fatal crash. She said Read had texted her on the flight down that the flight attendants were named Karen and Erin, like the two of them. Erin O’Keefe said Read later indicated that she and John O’Keefe had argued about Read’s belief that he’d kissed the other woman.

Erin O’Keefe says Read spent time at O’Keefe’s house — 2:51 p.m.

Read was at O’Keefe’s house for “the majority of the time” they were together, but not always, she said.

”I do know that she liked to go home on Mondays just to kind of have a fresh time by herself and Thursday, she was teaching an online class, so she would be home on Thursdays as well,” she said.

Lally asked if she was aware of any issues the couple had. “I think normal relationship stuff everyone goes through,” she said. “My in-laws being there often could be stressful.” She said Read indicated at one point that if she and John O’Keefe ever broke up, “she hoped that she and I would stay friends.”

Erin O’Keefe says John O’Keefe became guardian — 2:44 p.m.

John O’Keefe became the legal guardian of his niece and nephew, she testified. She said John O’Keefe had two long-term relationships after becoming their guardian, first with a woman named Amy and later with Read. She identified Read in court: “Black or blue blazer,” she said when asked to point to the defendant. Asked what legal rights Read had in respect to the children, she said, “Legal? None.”

Erin O’Keefe discusses sister-in-law — 2:40 p.m.

Erin O’Keefe said her sister-in-law, Kristen, received a cancer diagnosis in 2013 and died six months later. Kristen’s husband died two months later, leaving the two children parentless.

”Paul and Johnny went out to lunch one day, and we had kind of assumed because Johnny was out, you know, on the streets doing his job, that Paul and I would take the kids and Johnny said he was going to do it.”

Erin O’Keefe takes stand — 2:36 p.m.

The prosecution’s next witness is Erin O’Keefe, Paul O’Keefe’s wife and John’s sister-in-law. Among the O’Keefe siblings “Kristen was the oldest, Johnny was next, and Paul being the youngest,” she said. O’Keefe’s niece is “16 now” and his nephew is 13.

Paul O’Keefe discusses shoveling — 2:30 p.m.

Lally also played a video clip of Paul O’Keefe shoveling his brother’s driveway on Jan. 29 as a heavy snow fell. O’Keefe said he did not recall police arriving at the home that day. Lally also showed video footage of O’Keefe leaving his brother’s home on the evening of the 29, this time with just his sibling’s vehicle and his own visible on the tape.

Paul O’Keefe testifies about car layout — 2:23 p.m.

Assistant District Attorney Adam Lally also showed O’Keefe video footage from the morning of Jan. 29 that depicted his brother’s car on the right side of the snowy driveway, with Read’s vehicle to its left. He said his vehicle was positioned behind his brother’s.

Paul O’Keefe describes his brother’s house — 2:08 p.m.

Paul O’Keefe was shown a photo of his brother’s home on Meadows Lane in Canton and explained the dimensions of the driveway on the side of the home. He said his brother “had a 1971 Ford LTD” convertible on the left side of the garage and his other vehicle was typically parked on the right side.

Paul O’Keefe returns to the stand — 2:00 p.m.

Paul O’Keefe returned to the stand at 2 p.m. He testified that he didn’t speak with Read or her relatives when they were at his brother’s house on the morning of Jan. 29.

Judge announces recess — 1:00 p.m.

By Sean Cotter, Globe Staff

Cannone announced the court will be in recess until 2 p.m. The jury left first, then O’Keefe’s family, then Read’s.

Paul O’Keefe discusses Read’s arrival at the house — 12:59 p.m.

He said Read arrived at his brother’s house about 20 minutes later with her father, and that her brother and his wife arrived later.

”When Karen and her father arrived I was shoveling the walkway out front,” he said, adding that Read stayed for about a half hour. Read and her father went upstairs at one point and came back down about 15 minutes later with some of her belongings.

”They got in their cars and drove back to Dighton,” where Read’s parents live, he said.

Paul O’Keefe testifies about ride back from hospital — 12:53 p.m.

He said weather conditions that day were treacherous.

”Probably the worst driving conditions I’ve driven in as far as weather,” he testified. The family returned to his brother’s Canton home late on the morning of Jan. 29. “Karen Read called me and asked me if it was okay to come over and just see the kids and I said ‘sure,’” he said.

Paul O’Keefe describes Read’s continued ranting at hospital — 12:49 p.m.

Paul O’Keefe said the family again saw Read in the hospital after they viewed his brother’s body. She kept screaming “Is he alive,” and at one point, “I actually blew her a kiss,” he said. He said he thought Read “was a good influence on my niece and nephew. I appreciated all the help that she was providing my brother with the kids.”

Paul O’Keefe describes brother’s injuries — 12:47 p.m.

O’Keefe paused briefly when asked to describe his brother’s injuries at the hospital. “He was pretty banged up,” he said. “His eyes had swelled up” and blood was coming down his mouth. “What really stood out to me was, you know, the eyes,” he said. “It was almost as if, like, there were ping pong balls under his eyelids.”

Paul O’Keefe describes last message to his brother, John O’Keefe — 12:37 p.m.

Paul O’Keefe said he and his brother planned on getting together on Jan. 29, 2022, but “a big snow storm hit the area,” and they decided “it’s probably better” to “just stay home and off the roads,” so they canceled the planned get together the night before.

On Jan. 28, a Friday, Paul O’Keefe’s daughters had basketball games, he testified. They returned home around 8:30 p.m., he said. He said he “noticed the first flurries” of snow between 10:30 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Paul O’Keefe also described his last communication with his brother, a group text with family members on the afternoon of the Jan. 28. “He was excited because our niece ... had gotten accepted to Bishop Feehan High School,” he said.

At 6:40 a.m. on Jan. 29, he said, he got a call from his mother, who told him, “something happened to your brother,” and that he was found in the snow. “The only thing I was able to get [at the hospital] was that he was cold and they needed to warm him up.”

Paul O’Keefe discusses Read on stand — 12:27 p.m.

Paul O’Keefe said he first met Read in May 2020 and that his brother and Read “very briefly” dated previously in 2004.

“I believe my brother reached out to her in March of 2020, right at the beginning of COVID.” He said Read would stay at John O’Keefe’s home three or four times each week. During the pandemic, he said, “Karen would be at home with the kids during the day while she worked remotely.”

Paul O’Keefe said his brother rarely discussed any relationship issues he was having with Read. John O’Keefe, his brother testified, objected to Read spending “a lot of money on the kids” for gifts, and there were also arguments over what she fed the children.

During one vacation on a 2021 trip to the Cape, he said, he witnessed a verbal argument between Read and his sibling, describing it as “an intense fight.”

He said he recalled Read complaining his brother “wasn’t nice to her,” and that “I was kind of the referee in that entire situation.”

Paul O’Keefe takes stand — 12:20 p.m.

By Travis Andersen and Sean Cotter, Globe Staff

The prosecution’s first witness was Paul O’Keefe, John O’Keefe’s younger brother. He said John O’Keefe took in his niece and nephew when they were 6 and 3 after both their parents died from cancer. He struggled to maintain his composure when prosecutor Adam Lally asked him to name his siblings growing up and he paused momentarily before referencing his late sister and “my brother John.” Everyone called him Johnny, he said, “especially if you were family.”

Several jurors took notes as testimony began. Any who wished had been provided with notebooks.

During a break, Yannetti speaks with Read’s father — 11:59 a.m.

During a break, Yannetti speaks with Read’s father for a few minutes. After openings, Yannetti spoke with Read’s father for a few minutes. As prosecutors and defense lawyers talked quietly to each other during the break, Read talked to a couple of her relatives, giving them a smile.Several of the 10 or so family members on each side of the courtroom had brought seat cushions for the hard wooden seats. The trial is expected to last as long as two months.

Defense says prosecution won’t prevail — 11:54 a.m.

As his opening drew to a close, Read defense attorney David Yannetti reiterated that his client was “framed, and the evidence shows that.” He said prosecutors “will fail to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt. ... You will reasonably doubt their case because Karen Read was framed.” The attorneys on both sides approached Cannone at sidebar after Yannetti concluded. The first government witness is expected to take the stand shortly.

Driver who plowed the street did not see O’Keefe’s body that night, Yanetti says — 11:46 a.m.

Yannetti said Read’s defense team interviewed a plow driver that police never spoke to. The driver said that when he plowed the street around 2:30 a.m., he did not see anyone’s body lying in the yard, according to Yannetti. A short time later, the plow driver said he saw a truck parked near where the body was found.

”The Commonwealth will not be able to dispute any of those facts,” Yannetti said.

He said O’Keefe’s body looked as if he “had been attacked and beaten up.” He said an expert will testify that some of his injuries looked like scratch marks and claw marks consistent with an attack from a German Shepherd.

Yanetti says ‘car did not cause’ O’Keefe’s arm injuries — 11:44 a.m.

Yanetti told jurors that scratch marks on O’Keefe’s arm couldn’t have come from a vehicle. “You’ll take one look at that arm, and you will conclude that a car did not cause those injuries,” he said. He said the Albert family had a German shepherd named Chloe who was “rehomed” after Brian Albert testified before the grand jury.

Yannetti disputes time of Google search — 11:36 a.m.

Yannetti told the jury a defense expert will testify that the woman who searched “hos [sic] long to die in cold” actually Googled that on her phone at 2:27 a.m., not four hours later at Read’s request as prosecutors maintain.

Yannetti says Read woke up ‘in a panic’ — 11:30 a.m.

Yannetti told jurors Read “had a sinking feeling” that something was wrong when she woke up at O’Keefe’s home around 4 a.m. and saw he had not come home. When she later backed out of the driveway, her taillight hit O’Keefe’s car, he said, an assertion that prosecutors dispute. “You will witness the wheels and the hubcaps on John’s car jostle and move” on surveillance video, he said.

Jurors listen to defense opening — 11:26 a.m.

Defense attorney David Yannetti provided a more colorful opening than prosecutor Adam Lally, leading with “Karen Read was framed” as he spoke loudly to the jurors from the podium. The jurors appeared to listen intently, as they had to Lally. Off to the side, a few of Read’s family members periodically nodded or shook their heads as Yannetti described different parts of the case and claimed various investigators were conflicted, including Trooper Michael Proctor, an investigator on the case. “Michael Proctor predetermined the outcome of this case,” he said.

Yannetti describes Proctor texts about Read

On the day of O’Keefe’s death, Proctor texted his friends that he hoped Read “would kill herself” and seized her phone, Yannetti said. He “told his high school buddies that he was searching for nude photos of Karen Read,” Yannetti said. When a friend texted back that the homeowner would catch “a lot of grief” for a body being found on his lawn, Proctor replied, “nope,” since the homeowner was also a Boston police officer. “His fingerprints are all over the Commonwealth’s evidence,” Yannetti said.

Yannetti faults State Police probe — 11:19 a.m.

Yannetti told jurors that the lead State Police detective on the case, Michael Proctor, has “deep ties” to the Albert family and never asked Brian Albert for permission to enter the home the morning O’Keefe died. “He focused exclusively on Karen Read, the outsider,” Yannetti said. “Karen Read was a convenient outsider.”

Defense lawyer David Yannetti says ‘Karen Read was framed’ — 11:14 a.m.

In his opening statement, Yannetti told jurors Karen Read was “framed for a murder she did not commit.” He said it was “no accident” that O’Keefe was found dead on the lawn of the home owned by the Alberts, a family connected to law enforcement. “You will learn, in short, that the police did no real investigation of the case, and you will question why. ... You will question why they focused solely on Karen Read.”

Lally describes forensic evidence — 11:12 a.m.

Lally told jurors they’ll hear testimony that DNA “on the defendant’s taillight is consistent with Mr. O’Keefe.” A hair found on the bumper was also “consistent with” O’Keefe, Lally said. There will also be testimony about swelling around O’Keefe’s eyes and bleeding on his brain. He said O’Keefe was knocked to the ground by the impact of Read’s SUV, causing him to hit his head on the ground, which caused the swelling.

Lally describes Aruba trip — 11:04 a.m.

About a month before the crash, Read, O’Keefe, and O’Keefe’s niece and nephew joined a larger group for a trip to Aruba, Lally said. During that trip, he said, Read became angry when she thought he was “making out” with another woman who had greeted him with a hug. The niece and nephew later witnessed a “20-minute screaming match” in the hotel room between O’Keefe and Read.

Lally says no one saw O’Keefe go inside the home — 11:01 a.m.

Lally told jurors that no one inside the home on Fairview Road in Canton saw O’Keefe enter the residence where the afterparty was being held. Around 4:30 a.m., Read entered O’Keefe’s niece’s room “in a frantic state” saying that O’Keefe hadn’t come home, Lally said. Read later showed two other women who arrived at O’Keefe’s home the damage to her rear taillight before they drove back to Fairview Road to search for O’Keefe. Read saw him in the blizzard, but the other two women initially did not. While they waited for paramedics, Read asked one of the women shortly after 6:20 a.m. to Google how long it takes to die in the cold, Lally said.

Jury listens closely to prosecution’s opening statement — 10:50 a.m.

As Lally delivered his opening statement, the 17 members of the jury appeared to be listening intently, some with their heads slightly cocked as they took in Lally’s detailed descriptions of the events leading up to O’Keefe’s death, the relationship between Read and O’Keefe, and the discovery of O’Keefe’s body in the snow. He talked about the witnesses who will testify and what evidence the jury will hear from people who knew the couple and were with them that night.

Lally describes scene to jurors — 10:46 a.m.

Lally told jurors Read repeatedly confessed her guilt to emergency responders at the scene. “The defendant stated repeatedly, ‘I hit him, I hit him, I hit him,’ " Lally said. O’Keefe was later pronounced dead at Good Samaritan Medical Center, Lally said. Read later made statements related to self-harm and when she was driven to the hospital as a result she indicated that she and O’Keefe had gotten into an argument the night before, Lally said.

Fifth Amendment protects defendants from double jeopardy — 10:38 a.m.

By John R. Ellement, Globe Staff

Read’s Fifth Amendment protection against double jeopardy took effect when Assistant Clerk Magistrate James McDermott swore the jury in. If she is acquitted by the jury, she cannot be tried again for these charges under the constitutional ban on people being repeatedly prosecuted for the same offense.

”The prohibition against double jeopardy protects primarily ‘against three specific evils — a second prosecution for the same offense after acquittal; a second prosecution for the same offense after conviction; and multiple punishments for the same offense,’ " the Supreme Judicial Court concluded in a 2020 ruling.

Lally recalls John O’Keefe in opening statement — 10:37 a.m.

Prosecutor Adam Lally began his opening statement by telling jurors that O’Keefe grew up in Braintree and took in his niece and nephew several years ago when their parents both died of cancer. O’Keefe was a “proud member of the Boston Police Department,” and “raised these children” for about eight years, he said. His niece was about 14 and nephew was around 11 when O’Keefe died, Lally said.

The courtroom is quiet as jury hears instructions — 10:35 a.m.

The small but crowded wood-paneled courtroom was quiet as Cannone spoke to the jurors. Those assembled were quiet, save for the click-click of reporters typing on laptops and the chirping of birds outside the open window. Cannone’s soft speaking voice intoned much the same information as she had told the pools of hundreds of prospective jurors over the past two weeks. “This trial will be decided by you,” Cannone said, “A jury free from outside interference.”

Jurors will be allowed to have notebooks during trial — 10:32 a.m.

Cannone told jurors they’ll be permitted to take notes during the trial, but their notebooks will be kept secured at the end of each day of testimony. She said the notebooks will be placed in a confidential area every day, and that they’ll be destroyed after trial. Taking notes isn’t required, she said. “Some jurors may feel that notes are helpful,” Cannone said. “Other jurors may feel that note taking is a distraction and may interfere with hearing and evaluating the evidence.”

Cannone advises jurors to pay close attention to testimony — 10:26 a.m.

Cannone urged jurors to pay close attention to the testimony. “That is the best way to ensure that you decide this case based on the evidence and the law, instead of upon unsupported assumptions,” Cannone said. Jurors should take each witness’s testimony on a case-by-case basis, she said. “Consider them as individuals rather than as members of a particular group ... Finally, I might ask myself, would I view the evidence differently if the people were from different groups, such as different racial, ethnic, or gender identity groups?”

Judge addresses the jury — 10:19 a.m.

After jurors were sworn in, the clerk read out the charges and Cannone informed them that “the defendant starts this trial presumed to be innocent.”

Only the jury, Cannone said — “in other words, you folks” — will decide whether the government has proven its case. She told jurors a charge is proved beyond a reasonable doubt “if, after you have compared and considered all the evidence, you have in your mind an abiding conviction to a moral certainty that the charge is true.”

Court is in session — 10:16 a.m.

Seventeen members of the jury came in around 10:10 a.m. It appears that 10 are women.

Cannone enters and a court staffer announces the session is now beginning. “God save the Commonwealth and this good court,” he says. “Thank you, and this court is now in session.”

Judge Cannone enters the courtroom — 9:58 a.m.

Cannone entered the courtroom just before 10 a.m. and began a quiet sidebar conversation with the lawyers.

A look inside the courtroom — 9:47 a.m.

The snug courtroom that Judge Beverly Cannone moved the trial to last week held only a small collection of people. A half dozen members of Read’s family sat behind her, and O’Keefe’s loved ones sat on the side.

A dozen media members and courtroom staff rounded out the room.

Read, clad in a black dress, talked quietly with members of her family, including her father, Bill, and brother, Nathan, as she waited for court to come into session.

Karen Read enters the courthouse — 9:20 a.m.

Read walked through the media gauntlet, entering the courtroom as someone yelled “We love you, Karen.” Several supporters followed, each wearing an article of clothing in some hue of pink.

Before Read’s entrance, the crowd of pink-clad supporters grew, swelling into the dozens on the edge of the 200-foot buffer zone from the courthouse. Some waved flags and others held “Free Karen Read” signs.

Read supporters have taken to wearing pink during court sessions since they are not allowed to wear clothing or buttons that refer to the case.

There’s a 200-foot buffer zone outside the courthouse — 8:58 a.m.

The judge presiding over the case ruled earlier this month that she’ll implement a 200-foot buffer zone to keep demonstrators a distance from the courthouse.

In her ruling, Judge Beverly J. Cannone said that a government request to keep protesters at least 500 feet away is “far too excessive.”

Jury was finalized last week — 8:50 a.m.

By Sean Cotter and Travis Andersen, Globe Staff

A jury of 12 plus four alternates will decide Read’s fate.

Jury selection ran five days and churned through about 500 potential jurors. A heavy majority of the potential jurors who were summoned to Norfolk Superior said they’d heard of the Read case, and about a quarter said they’d formed an opinion on it, leading many to be excused.

A look at the scene outside the courthouse — 8:43 a.m.

By 6 a.m., the media frenzy was well underway.

At each of the corners of Ames and High streets, TV reporters were speaking into cameras, brows furrowed. A line of press had already formed outside of Norfolk Superior Court under the morning sun four hours before openings were scheduled to start.

By Globe Staff

Here’s what to know about Read , O’Keefe , the lawyers in the case , and the judge, Beverly Cannone .

The case has drawn heavy media coverage — 8:26 a.m.

The case has drawn heavy media coverage and become a topic of intense speculation.

Aidan Kearney, a controversial blogger known as Turtleboy, has aggressively championed Read’s claims of innocence and faces separate charges of allegedly harassing and intimidating witnesses in the case. He has pleaded not guilty and will be allowed to attend the trial.

A brief primer on the case — 8:20 a.m.

Karen Read, 44, is accused of intentionally backing her car into her boyfriend, John O’Keefe, a Boston police officer, and leaving him for dead outside a Canton home during a blizzard after a night of bar hopping.

Read’s lawyers maintain she’s being framed as part of a massive police coverup and that O’Keefe was actually beaten by people at the Canton home and his body left outside during the snowstorm on Jan. 29, 2022. His body was discovered the following morning on the snowy front lawn of the home, which was then owned by a fellow Boston police officer.

The trial is being held in Norfolk Superior Court and is expected to take several weeks. Read has pleaded not guilty.
