Karen Read Hearing of March 20, 2024:
There is no objection to Rule 17 regarding internal affairs docs on Trooper Proctor.
Defense Lawyer David Yannetti: Wants contact information between Special Agent Higgins (who was there at the after-party socially) Boston Officer Brian Albert (homeowner of property where the after-party took place) Canton Police officer Kevin Albert (brother of Brian.) He also wants records of Canton Chief Berkowitz. (Chief Berkowitz, who was on medical leave at the time of the death, found taillight fragments on the lawn while driving past Brian Albert's home several days after John O'Keefe's body was found. O'Keefe was found shortly after 6AM on the lawn of Brian Albert's home the morning of the Jan. 29th "after-party.") Yannetti emphasizes that this is no fishing expedition.
ADA Lally Response: They all knew each other. Of course they'd talk. It's the ultimate fishing expedition.
Lawyer for Brian Albert, Greg Henning: We do not have the Rule 17 order. Objects to phone being released. Can say in open court that Brian Albert is not a subject of this investigation by the FBI.
The judge is surprised. DA Lally apologizes for not supplying the order to the these attorneys despite the judge telling him to do so. He says he did it out of an "abundance of caution" regarding the federal order not to disclose certain information.
Attorney Connolly for Special Agent Brian Higgins: The FBI has allowed him to confirm in open court that Higgins is not a target of the FBI investigation. He is not willing to give over his phone given Mr. Higgins position as a Federal Agent.
Defense Attorney Yannetti: Higgins changes his story regarding calling Brian Albert at 2:22AM, before the body was found. Brian Albert changes his story and said it was a butt call during sex. Butts on the bed with phones on the night table. Never heard of so many butt calls as in this case. We know these calls took place because, thank God, another agency did the investigating. (Defense was largely unsuccessful in asking for these records back in May of 2023.) They (Feds) have these records. We do not. We need them to present them in court.
