About
The Dighton exterior and Alarm.com footage shows Karen Read's Lexus being towed at approximately 4:15 p.m. on January 29, 2022. Contemporaneous testimony described a cracked right rear taillight with a missing piece and a rear-quarter dent; footage shows Read and her father gesturing toward that area, along with an illuminated taillight view. The defense used a later still showing a red lens portion still attached to argue the taillight was less damaged at seizure than later claimed. In his opening statement, David Yannetti claimed that the footage showed Proctor's affidavit was false and that the seizure time differed by roughly 90 minutes.
