Prosecutors in the Karen Read case are asking the judge to bar a defense expert who testified during the first trial about the timing of Google searches from making similar assertions during the retrial this spring, legal filings show.
In a motion filed Tuesday in Norfolk Superior Court, prosecutors asked Judge Beverly J. Cannone to bar Richard Green, a digital forensics expert, from testifying again about a phone belonging to prosecution witness Jennifer McCabe.
Specifically, prosecutors are seeking an order barring Green from making two assertions on the stand: that McCabe made Google searches on her phone about dying in the cold shortly before 2:30 a.m. on the morning of John O’Keefe’s death, and that the device showed data deletions around the same time.
