RAW COURT AUDIO-Lead Investigator in Karen Read Case Under Investigation, Defense Alleges 'Significant Relationships
Massachusetts State Police have confirmed an ongoing investigation into Trooper Michael Proctor, a lead investigator in the murder case against Karen Read. The revelation follows assertions made by Read's defense team regarding "significant relationships" involving Proctor, just one day prior to the announcement.
In a statement provided to media sources on Wednesday, Massachusetts State Police acknowledged that Trooper Michael Proctor "is being investigated for a potential violation of department policy." However, specific details regarding the nature of the potential violation or its relation to a particular case were not disclosed by the department.
Proctor's involvement in the Karen Read case has come under scrutiny amid defense allegations of impropriety. Read stands accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, purportedly by striking him with her car and abandoning him outside a fellow police officer’s home. However, Read's defense team has launched a vigorous defense, accusing the police of conducting a flawed investigation and suppressing crucial evidence.
During a recent court appearance on Tuesday, defense attorney Alan Jackson presented multiple motions, including a motion to dismiss the case against Read. Jackson highlighted what he described as deliberate "distortions" of evidence that misled the state grand jury into issuing an indictment against Read. One such instance involved Proctor's purported interactions with Julie Albert, raising questions about potential biases.
Jackson pointed out that ten days prior to O’Keefe’s death, Proctor exchanged text messages with Julie Albert regarding babysitting arrangements. Furthermore, just three days after O’Keefe's demise, Proctor allegedly received a text from his sister discussing a future "thank-you gift" from Julie Albert, to which he responded, "Get (my wife) one."
Responding to inquiries, a spokesperson for the Massachusetts State Police confirmed that Trooper Michael Proctor remains on full active duty status during the ongoing investigation.
Karen Read's trial, scheduled for April 16, hangs in the balance amid these revelations. The developments surrounding Proctor's investigation have cast further uncertainty over the proceedings, with implications for the integrity of the case against Read.
As the investigation unfolds and legal proceedings continue, the defense maintains its stance, underscoring the need for transparency and accountability in the pursuit of justice. Meanwhile, the Massachusetts State Police assure the public of their commitment to upholding the highest standards of conduct and professionalism within their ranks.
