About

Central to establishing the timeline before O'Keefe's death. The footage was used to identify positions, movements, arrivals, departures, group interactions, McCabe's presence in the parking lot, and O'Keefe's demeanor, and to challenge testimony about Chris Albert's arrival-home time based on footage showing his departure at about 12:13 a.m. The parties offered differing interpretations of some movements: defense counsel characterized footage as showing Albert and Higgins sparring or adopting fighting stances, Higgins gesturing toward O'Keefe, and Albert speaking directly with Karen Read; prosecution questioning and redirect offered more limited or different interpretations. Bukhenik testified that the video did not establish whom Higgins was looking at and that the investigation suggested there was no confrontation.
