@BrotherCounsel is a reminder that prosecutors who refuse to question law enforcement negligence and speak with such arrogance about facts they don’t fully understand are how innocent people end up in prison.
Mistruth #1: “No Dog DNA”
Truth: The results were inconclusive.
On January 29, 2022, John O’Keefe’s clothing was collected from the hospital floor by Proctor. Instead of turning the items over to CSSS, he took them to the temporary evidence room and laid them out on butcher paper to dry, in an open area all troopers had access to. No chain of custody log exists.
The clothing was not delivered to the MSP Crime Lab until March 14, six weeks later. It then sat for 14 months before being tested by MSP analyst Hartnett. Dog DNA testing resulted in no dog DNA, but it was also noted degradation and the presence of an inhibitor are possible reasons. Pig DNA was identified.
Adam Lally also failed to preserve tissue samples from John O’Keefe’s right arm, injuries that appear consistent with dog bites to most observers.
Chloe, the McAlbert dog was “rehomed” and renamed Cora soon after Karen Read’s defense team wanted information regarding the dog, given John O’Keefe’s arm injuries appear as from a dog attack.
