Karen Read Hearing of March 26, 2024

Filling in for David Yannetti is sister Tanis Yannetti who requests notes from a meeting the DA had with witnesses. 

ADA Lally states he is not sure what the defense is referring to under Rule 17. Discussions were regarding witness harassment. They are work products. 

Yannetti responds that it is difficult to believe that the Karen Read case did not come up in these conversations. Lally states to the judge that there is nothing to report. 

Discussion on DNA from the lab. DA Lally is not sure when the results will be in. Depends on the integrity of the sample. 

Defense states it has just received 400 pages and a thumb drive with unknown material on it. Judge asks how long the defense expects to take at trial. Mr. Jackson on the defense team states that the discovery obligation by the state is not finished so they cannot say until then who their experts will be. 

Judge tells Lally he needs to know what the DNA lab will have and by when at the next court hearing.
