Louis Jutras

Key Points

• Jutras established that Canton's surveillance cameras synchronized their timestamps to a national time server, lending credibility to the footage's timeline correlation with other evidence such as cell phone data and witness accounts.
• Jutras confirmed that the DPW truck GPS system was reported non-functional on February 1, 2022 — meaning no GPS records existed for town plow and salt truck routes during the snowstorm on the night O'Keefe died.
• Yannetti used Jutras's testimony to challenge evidence preservation. Jutras confirmed that no State Police trooper asked him to make a separate long-term municipal download of the raw surveillance footage beyond the town system's ordinary retention period.
• Jutras recalled a later call from someone he believed was Trooper Dunn asking for another copy; he said the town no longer had the footage and he could not recreate another municipal copy. That answer described the town system's retention limit, not what happened to the raw copy he had already delivered to State Police.
• Jutras testified that he provided state police with the raw footage in his possession and did not retain a separate municipal copy beyond local retention. He later said he could not recreate another copy and had no personal knowledge of the footage's handling after handoff; he could not testify whether any video was removed.
