Sean Goode - Cross (Part 1)

MR. YANNETTI: Thank you, Your Honor.

MR. YANNETTI: Good afternoon, Sergeant.

MR. YANNETTI: You and I have never met,

MR. YANNETTI: No, we've never spoken?

MR. YANNETTI: Sergeant Goode, you grew up in Canton?

MR. YANNETTI: You attended Canton Public Schools?

MR. YANNETTI: Graduated from Canton High School?

MR. YANNETTI: That would have been in 1998?

MR. YANNETTI: Is it true that in your graduating class was somebody named Courtney Proctor?

MR. YANNETTI: You knew Courtney Proctor?

MR. YANNETTI: You knew her to be Michael Proctor's sister, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Also in your graduating class was somebody named Jill Daniels, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You knew her — or you now know her — to be Christopher Albert's sister-in-law, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Christopher Albert is married to Jill Daniels' sister, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And you know Christopher Albert as

MR. YANNETTI: Yes. So it is fair to say that you graduated high school with Michael Proctor's sister and Christopher Albert's sister-in-law, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And you know, growing up in Canton and working for 18 years as a Canton police officer, you're well familiar with the Albert family of Canton, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You know that the Albert family is a well-known family in Canton, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: The Albert family is well connected to the town of Canton, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Yes. All right. Well, Christopher Albert is a Canton town selectman, is he

MR. YANNETTI: And you've already established that Kevin Albert is a Canton police officer, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And you already testified that you knew Brian Albert as well, and you knew that he was a Boston police officer who lived in Canton, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: In fact, he and his family lived at 34 Fairview in Canton, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You also knew that his family had been there for years — before Brian Albert owned the house, his parents owned it, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Now, as of January 28th, 2022, who among the Albert family did you know, either personally or professionally?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. And what about personally?

MR. YANNETTI: And you know that Christopher Albert, in addition to being a town selectman, also owns a pizza place in Canton, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: What's the name of that pizza place?

MR. YANNETTI: And have you eaten there before?

MR. YANNETTI: You've seen Christopher Albert there before?

MR. YANNETTI: Now, on January 29th of 2022, you learned at approximately 6:00 a.m. that John O'Keefe's body was found on Brian Albert's front lawn, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And as of January 29th of 2022, you knew that Brian Albert at that time, of course, was the brother of your fellow Canton police officer Kevin Albert, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And how long have you known Kevin Albert?

MR. YANNETTI: Yes. And is Kevin Albert older or younger than you, or around the same age?

MR. YANNETTI: By how many years, if you know?

MR. YANNETTI: Approximately five years?

MR. YANNETTI: Have you ever shared a patrol car with Kevin Albert?

MR. YANNETTI: Have you ever worked on an investigation or a case with Kevin Albert?

MR. YANNETTI: In addition to being a colleague, would you also consider Kevin Albert to be a friend?

MR. YANNETTI: And because he is a fellow Canton police officer, you'd expect that he would have your back in a crisis, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: At work?

MR. YANNETTI: He's a police officer — you would certainly protect him in a crisis, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Well, even out of work, if he was in a crisis you'd probably help, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Well, there is a teamwork that is part and parcel of being a police officer with your fellow officers, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: It's a dangerous job.

MR. YANNETTI: Need to have each other's back.

MR. YANNETTI: Need to depend on your fellow officers, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: May I approach?

MR. YANNETTI: And it's been said there's a Brotherhood among police officers, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: I'll take it back from you. Sure. Thank you. Do you recognize what this is?

MR. YANNETTI: And you know, when you meet another police officer, he or she will tell you that they're quote "on the job," correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And in terms of depending on your fellow officers, you're taught all this beginning in the police academy, correct?

MR. JACKSON: No, he can have that.

MR. YANNETTI: Well, I'm asking you — with regard to the teamwork, having each other's backs, working together, and depending on each other — you're taught that starting in —

MR. YANNETTI: And it's reinforced over the years by superior officers and your colleagues, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Now, you were assigned as the primary investigator in the reconstruction analysis for this case, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You were assigned as the primary investigator in the reconstruction analysis for this case.

MR. YANNETTI: May I just have a moment?

MR. YANNETTI: I'm going to direct you to page five. Now I'm going to show you what is — not sure how many pages, but there are quite a few. Okay. It's a —

MR. YANNETTI: Sure. I'm taking up the first four pages and directing you just to the fifth page, and specifically the second paragraph — it's numbered number two. Okay. And I will ask you if you've seen that before.

MR. YANNETTI: Are you familiar with a Collision Analysis and Reconstruction section — a CARS report?

MR. YANNETTI: Does this appear to be a CARS report?

MR. YANNETTI: There's — you just — I showed you one.

MR. YANNETTI: But you did see that your name is listed in the paragraph that I pointed out to you?

MR. YANNETTI: And you're listed as Sergeant Sean Goode — that's you, correct? — of the Canton Police. You were assigned as the primary investigator in this reconstruction.

MR. YANNETTI: Well, I'm just asking you — I'm dealing with the State Police report that lists you as the primary investigator with regard to the reconstruction.

MR. JACKSON: Your Honor, may we approach?

MR. YANNETTI: Sergeant Goode, what was your understanding on February 1st of 2022 regarding the Canton Police Department's role in this homicide investigation?

MR. YANNETTI: So you did know, as of the day that John O'Keefe was found on Brian Albert's front lawn, that the Canton police had recused itself from the case, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And what was your understanding of the recusal decision in terms of what Canton Police was either allowed to do or not do?

MR. YANNETTI: Well, you've been a Canton police officer for 18 years, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: During those 18 years, do you know how many homicide investigations have occurred in Canton?

MR. YANNETTI: None? Homicides?

MR. YANNETTI: So in the 18 years, this is the first homicide that your department's been involved in, to your knowledge?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. Are you aware that although the State Police have primary jurisdiction, they work hand in hand with local departments, usually, unless there's a conflict of interests?

MR. YANNETTI: So in this case you learned that there was a conflict of interest, and my question to you is: what did that mean in terms of your potential involvement in the investigation once that conflict was determined?

MR. YANNETTI: Were you the primary investigator for the Canton Police Department as of February 1st?

MR. YANNETTI: Did you participate with the State Police in any part of the reconstruction?

MR. YANNETTI: Now, Sergeant Goode, who is Brian Higgins?

MR. YANNETTI: And when did you come to meet him?

MR. YANNETTI: Years? Over a decade?

MR. YANNETTI: Sure. And how often would you see him at the Canton Police Station?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. And when you say you work midnight, that means you come in at midnight?

MR. YANNETTI: Midnight to 8 a.m., correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And he works in the same building as you, in terms of the fact that he has an office there, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Are there any other ATF agents that have offices in the —

MR. YANNETTI: Do you know of any ATF agents that have offices at the Canton Police Department?

MR. YANNETTI: What about officers from other local departments, surrounding towns — do they have any offices at the Canton Police Department?

MR. YANNETTI: And you're not sure exactly how long he's had that office, but it's been years, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: He has his own key card to enter the building?

MR. YANNETTI: And you say you've seen him two or three times a week in the time that he's had an office there?

MR. YANNETTI: You're aware that Brian Higgins is a close friend of the former Canton police chief, Kenneth Berkowitz?

MR. YANNETTI: You know that Chief Berkowitz was the reason that he was allowed to maintain an office at the Canton Police Department?

MR. YANNETTI: Well, his close friend, Chief Berkowitz, was your boss on January 29th of 2022, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Yeah. Brian Higgins's close friend, Chief Berkowitz, was your boss on January 29th of 2022.

MR. YANNETTI: And does okay mean yes?

MR. YANNETTI: And you worked the midnight shift that day as well?

MR. YANNETTI: Were you assigned to dispatch that day — the night of the incident?

MR. YANNETTI: Right. That was my question. I'm sorry if I'm not being clear. But you were on duty, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: What was your shift?

MR. YANNETTI: I'm sorry — what was the timing of your shift?

MR. YANNETTI: Thank you. And when you say you stayed inside, that meant you were handling dispatch, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And when you're handling dispatch, you're not expected to leave the station and physically respond to calls that come in, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. So unless it's something unusual, you're going to stay at dispatch, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And just after 1:30 a.m., while you were working dispatch, that's when you saw Brian Higgins enter the Canton police station at 1:30 in the morning, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Did he come into the dispatch area?

MR. YANNETTI: So it could be that you just saw him on a screen, or it could be that he was in your room, correct — but you don't remember which?

MR. YANNETTI: And before he showed up there at 1:30, you hadn't called him to ask him to come in, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You hadn't asked him for any help with any investigation at 1:30, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: When you first saw him there at 1:30, did you have any idea why he was showing up there?

MR. YANNETTI: And when you first saw him, do you remember what entrance he used to come into the Canton police station?

MR. YANNETTI: And you would agree with me that 1:30 in the morning was hours before John O'Keefe was found unresponsive on Brian Albert's front lawn, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You had no information at 1:30 in the morning that John O'Keefe was out on Brian Albert's front lawn at that time, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And when Brian— when Brian Higgins entered the department, that was the first time you had seen him on either the 28th or the 29th, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And this is again at 1:30 in the morning.

MR. YANNETTI: Say yes or no.

MR. YANNETTI: Thank you. You didn't know where he was coming from?

MR. YANNETTI: You didn't know what he had done that night?

MR. YANNETTI: You didn't know who he had been with that night?

MR. YANNETTI: This was a Friday night into early Saturday morning with a major blizzard forecast, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Yes, it was supposed to get worse?

MR. YANNETTI: Was it unusual to see Brian Higgins come into the station at 1:30 a.m. on a weekend?

MR. YANNETTI: And you don't recall how close you got to him?

MR. YANNETTI: Are you able to tell this jury anything about his demeanor?

MR. YANNETTI: And you don't recall whether or not you got close enough to him to smell his breath or to smell what he smelled like, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: At any point did he tell you why he was there?

MR. YANNETTI: How long did he remain at the station?

MR. YANNETTI: Did you ever see him do any paperwork at the station that night?

MR. YANNETTI: Did you ever see him do any administrative work at the station?

MR. YANNETTI: All right. So let's skip ahead a few hours. Later you're still working dispatch when a call came in that a man was found unresponsive on Brian Albert's front lawn, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: It was just after 6:00 a.m.?

MR. YANNETTI: You yourself took that call.

MR. YANNETTI: And with regard to who is responsible for entering the information that came in on a call to dispatch, who is that?

MR. YANNETTI: Right. So at 6:00 a.m. you were responsible for taking down the information and entering it into your system, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay, who enters that into your daily log?

MR. YANNETTI: And you had previously testified that location is important, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You discussed the fact that if a call comes in on a cell phone as opposed to a landline, you want to know where that cell phone is, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And you have ways of pinging the cell phone such that you can actually see the location on a map, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And you would agree with me that ultimately when the location was entered into your system, the location was entered as 32 Fairview—

MR. YANNETTI: 34 was the actual address, but 32 is what made it into the police report, sir. Did it not?

MR. YANNETTI: I don't have— now when that call came in after 6:00 a.m., you decided that you would personally go out, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. I actually have the front page of your police report. May I approach?

MR. YANNETTI: Show this to Miss Gilman. Thank you. I'd ask you to read that silently to yourself, take a good look at it, and look up at me when you're done. You've had enough time to review it?

MR. YANNETTI: Getting back to the location, which you said was important — what is the location listed in your very police report on the face sheet?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. The face sheet is important, is it not?

MR. YANNETTI: People see the face sheet before they get to the narrative, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Is accuracy important?

MR. YANNETTI: And the very first thing that's entered with regard to the location is inaccurate, right?

MR. YANNETTI: The very first entry with regard to the location on your police report — on the face sheet — is inaccurate. Would you agree with that?

MR. YANNETTI: And with regard to the name down the bottom of that report — I left the report in front of you so you could look at it again. Would you read that silently to yourself and look up at me?

MR. YANNETTI: Does that refresh your memory as to what name is listed?

MR. YANNETTI: What name is that?

MR. YANNETTI: No. I can have that back for a minute.

MR. YANNETTI: Now you decided that you wanted to go to the call, or you decided it would be a good thing for you to go to the call personally, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: So you called Officer Kelly Dever into dispatch?

MR. YANNETTI: And you did that because you wanted her to cover the desk for you so that you could personally respond to the call, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Responding to the call wasn't your duty assignment, but you made it your duty assignment, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And if you were going to leave, somebody had to come, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You personally called two of your other colleagues who were not on duty that night to respond with you to Brian Albert's house, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And you previously testified, I believe, that Sergeant Michael Lank was one of those officers and he arrived at 6:25 a.m., correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And then Lieutenant Paul Gallagher was the other officer and he arrived closer to 7 a.m., correct?

MR. YANNETTI: When you responded to 34 Fairview on January 29th, did you know that residence?

MR. YANNETTI: And what did you know that residence to be?

MR. YANNETTI: You and Sergeant Lank had both been to that residence before, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Oh. And so when you decided to respond to the scene on January 29th — the residence at 34 Fairview — you knew exactly where you were going?

MR. YANNETTI: And when you got there, you knew you were outside the home of Boston officer Brian Albert, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And this was a memorable event, would you agree with me?

MR. YANNETTI: Before January 29th of '22, you had never responded to a call where the body of one police officer was found on the front lawn of another police officer's house, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And at some point after you arrived, you saw both Sergeant Lank and Lieutenant Gallagher arrive, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: It was Sergeant Lank who first entered the home and made initial contact with Brian Albert and his family?

MR. YANNETTI: So is it your testimony that the first time the police went in the house, you were there with Sergeant Lank?

MR. YANNETTI: All right. And when you went in — can I have Exhibit 8 on the screen, please?

MR. YANNETTI: Terrific. You're able to see Exhibit 8?

MR. YANNETTI: Is that a fair depiction of what the house looked like when you entered it?

MR. YANNETTI: Do you see the front door?

MR. YANNETTI: Is that the door that you entered?

MR. YANNETTI: And you testified that you looked around the immediate area where you were while Sergeant Lank was asking questions. You noticed that when you entered that front door you come into a foyer area, and directly in front of you on the left, you can almost reach out and touch — there's a door that goes down to the cellar, is there not?

MR. YANNETTI: I see. So you don't remember that as you step into the house, you can go down a cellar door right away?

MR. YANNETTI: You don't know where the cellar is, and that's in part because you did not go down to the cellar, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You never examined it?

MR. YANNETTI: You never saw what condition it was in?

MR. YANNETTI: Saw whether there was any signs of

MR. YANNETTI: Never saw if anything was knocked over?

MR. YANNETTI: You never saw whether there was any blood or other trace evidence down there?

MR. YANNETTI: I do not.

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. Now, going back to when you first arrived — Sergeant, you were alone in your cruiser, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You weren't driving with a partner that morning?

MR. YANNETTI: You were the second officer on scene?

MR. YANNETTI: Who got there before you did?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. So Mullaney actually beat you there?

MR. YANNETTI: But only within a matter of minutes —

MR. YANNETTI: You arrived in your marked cruiser, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You had your overhead emergency lights on, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You pulled up right in the front of the house, facing in the wrong direction in terms of the lane that you were in, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You were parked on Fairview adjacent to the Albert residence, and you were facing toward Cedar, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: When you parked, you left your motor running, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And when you got out of your cruiser, one prominent sound that you heard was Karen Read screaming at the top of her lungs, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: She appeared to be in distress, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: She was very loud?

MR. YANNETTI: And you could hear her yelling throughout that morning, could you not?

MR. YANNETTI: After you got there, other emergency vehicles showed up?

MR. YANNETTI: Did you see any other cruisers show up?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. So there was one additional police vehicle that showed up — Sergeant Lank arrived in that?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay, so two additional vehicles. And also Officer Saraf's vehicle was there, and Mullaney's, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: So now up to four police vehicles on scene?

MR. YANNETTI: They all have their lights on?

MR. YANNETTI: I see. So you and Saraf and Mullaney had your lights on, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Sure. All right. Three with their lights on. What about ambulances?

MR. YANNETTI: All right. When you first got there, was the first ambulance there?

MR. YANNETTI: And that ambulance also had its lights on?

MR. YANNETTI: How many fire trucks were there when you — — were there?

MR. YANNETTI: And that also had its lights on as well, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And engine running?

MR. YANNETTI: And everyone was essentially parked around and in front of 34 Fairview, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And all the while, the first responders are talking over the noise of the storm, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And they're also talking over the screaming by Karen Read, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: At one point, Kerry Roberts even yelled at Karen — and I apologize for the language, but she yelled at her to shut the fuck up, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: The scene was very chaotic, would you agree?

MR. YANNETTI: All right. Could I have exhibit 16 on the screen, please?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. Now, this has previously been admitted as sort of a side-by-side comparison between your cruiser dash cam and Officer Saraf's dash cam, okay, and they've been synchronized, okay? If we could start at 9 minutes in, please.

MR. YANNETTI: I had it as exhibit 16. Am I correct?

MR. YANNETTI: I see. With regard to your dash cam, sir, do you recognize the bottom video here as depicting your view as you were driving to the scene?

MR. YANNETTI: And that appears to be a fair and accurate representation of what was shown to you on direct examination with — — regard to your dash cam?

MR. YANNETTI: Continue... Okay, we can pause it there. Would you agree with me, Sergeant Goode, that you're arriving on scene at approximately 6:16 a.m. on January 29th?

MR. YANNETTI: I'd ask you to review and compare your dash cam video with the top dash cam video for the next 30 seconds or a minute, please, and I'll ask you some questions after that.

MR. YANNETTI: Pause it. Sergeant Goode, does it appear as though the top dash cam shows the exact same thing as the bottom dash cam, just from a different vantage point?

MR. YANNETTI: Play for another 20-30 seconds. Were you able to see that when people are moving — or when somebody's — — moving in the top version, they're also moving in the bottom version, just again from different vantage points?

MR. YANNETTI: So did these both appear to be fair and accurate representations of the dash cams at that time?

MR. YANNETTI: I would offer that, your Honor.

MR. YANNETTI: Now, Sergeant Goode, you've testified that you got there at about 6 — — I'm sorry, 6:16 a.m., and relying on exhibit 16 that I placed before you, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You stayed on scene for over an hour and 40 minutes, would you agree with that?

MR. YANNETTI: You left around 7:50 a.m. or so, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And during the beginning part of the one hour and 40 minutes that you were on scene — with all the vehicles that we've just seen, at around 6:16 a.m., and for the first 10-15 minutes with all those lights flashing — you never saw Brian Albert come out of his house, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And did you see first responders working on John O'Keefe when you were there?

MR. YANNETTI: Correct. So you didn't see him actually being scooped up and put on a stretcher, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And with regard to the remainder of the time that you were on scene — all the way through, you know, 7:50 in the morning — did you ever see Brian Albert come out of his home?

MR. YANNETTI: Did you ever see anyone come out of the Albert residence other than Jen McCabe and Matt McCabe?

MR. YANNETTI: Were you — when you entered the — were you, when you entered the residence that morning, aware that John O'Keefe was found on his front lawn wearing only one shoe, black in color?

MR. YANNETTI: While you were there, you were listening to the questions that Sergeant Lank was asking Brian Albert?

MR. YANNETTI: Did you ever hear Sergeant Lank ask Brian Albert that morning if he knew where the other shoe was, that was black and —

MR. YANNETTI: While you were there, did you ever hear Sergeant Lank ask Brian Albert when he learned that John O'Keefe was lying on his front lawn?

MR. YANNETTI: You knew that Brian Albert, as a Boston police officer, is a first responder, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: All police officers are first responders, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You know from your training that all police officers have to receive CPR and other necessary training to be first responders, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: At any point in — — time, did you ask Brian Albert why he didn't come out of his house?

MR. YANNETTI: Did Sergeant Lank, in your presence, ask him why he didn't come out of his house?

MR. YANNETTI: After clearing the scene at 7:50 in the morning, did you go back to the station?

MR. YANNETTI: Do you know whether or not Kevin Albert was working that day?

MR. YANNETTI: Did you see Kevin Albert that day?

MR. YANNETTI: Did you speak with Kevin Albert that day?

MR. YANNETTI: Now, since that day, it's been almost two and a half years. You've continued working on the same police force as Kevin Albert, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: At some point in time, you and Kevin Albert discussed the fact that you were one of — — the first responding officers to his brother's home for this tragic incident, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: It's a very unique situation, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Many officers under the department were interested to know what you saw and heard that day, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: At what point in time after January 29th did Kevin Albert broach the topic with you as to what had happened on January 29th?

MR. YANNETTI: Right. Well, you said that you don't recall talking to him that day, but certainly within a couple of weeks the two of you caught up, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Within a couple of months, you talked about it?

MR. YANNETTI: And when you say "sure," sir, I take that as you saying, "Well, if you really want to go there, I'll give you the 'sure' answer." You have to answer yes or no.

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. Do you recall where you were when you and Kevin Albert discussed what had happened on January 29th?

MR. YANNETTI: Do you recall who else was present?

MR. YANNETTI: Do you recall whether it was in person or over the phone?

MR. YANNETTI: You certainly told him what you observed and heard that day, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Now, when you arrived, you were on scene not only to assist with first aid and secure the scene, but as a first responder, your job is to assess the situation and also make an initial determination about gathering evidence. Would you agree with that?

MR. YANNETTI: You'd be on the lookout for any physical evidence, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And you'd certainly be on high alert for any individual who made any statement about what may have occurred, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: That's important not only for treatment purposes of somebody who apparently is hurt, but also for investigative purposes.

MR. YANNETTI: And again, you were the third officer on the scene, by minutes in terms of the other two officers arriving before you, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And while you were on scene for over an hour and 40 minutes — and by the way, when I say on scene, it's clear to you that I'm asking you about 34 Fairview, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: There was no scene at the Canton Police Department, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: A scene is where something happened, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: While you were on scene at 34 Fairview for an hour and 40 minutes, did you ever once hear Karen Read say, "I hit him, I hit him, I hit him, I hit him"?

MR. YANNETTI: And you wrote a report regarding this, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You are trained over your 18 years that you include every important detail in that report, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Certainly a statement by Karen Read screaming out, "I hit him, I hit him, I hit him, I hit him," would have been an important detail that you would have included in your report, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You do not intentionally — omit, I should say — any important details from your report, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You did not include that language, "I hit him, I hit him, I hit him, I hit him," in your report, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And the reason you didn't include it is that you never heard those words come out of Karen Read's mouth, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. Now, getting back to potential physical evidence — if you're at a potential crime scene, you want to find what you can, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You want to properly secure any physical evidence, right?

MR. YANNETTI: In order to assist the investigation, you're prepared to conduct a thorough search for evidence that may shed light on what had happened, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And you did participate in a thorough search in this case, did you not?

MR. YANNETTI: You had previously testified — and I'm sorry, I don't mean to cut you off if I did — you had previously testified, and I think I'm quoting you, "the leaf blower worked great," correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You would agree with me that with that leaf blower, your department was able to actually get down to the bare ground, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And you were directed to the precise area where John O'Keefe had been laying, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And so you knew the area that needed to be searched, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: You certainly want to properly search around that area, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And after John O'Keefe was in the ambulance and then transported to the hospital, that was the very area that you were eyeballing, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And you visually searched that area as best you could in the conditions, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And you tried to be as careful as you could be?

MR. YANNETTI: Did not want to miss anything, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Now, in addition to scouring the area with your eyes, did you use your hands to search in the snow?

MR. YANNETTI: Oh, I see. Okay. Did you see other officers using their hands to search the scene?

MR. YANNETTI: Yes. And you were the one that actually got your leaf blower, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Yes. And your search was thorough enough — and when I say "your search," I mean your department's search, in addition to your observations — it was thorough enough that you actually did recover small droplets of blood, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Who was it that collected those blood droplets?

MR. YANNETTI: In addition to the blood droplets, you were looking for anything else that might be out of place there?

MR. YANNETTI: And as you were on scene, it was starting to get lighter as the morning progressed, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And again, you didn't clear the scene until almost 8:00 a.m., correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And you searched and were keeping alert to what was around you for the time that you were on scene, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: During that — I'm sorry — that one hour, I should say, and 40 minutes, you did not find 40 to 45 pieces of red and black and clear tail light pieces at 34 Fairview, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: How many pieces of tail light did you find on or around that property that morning?

MR. YANNETTI: Did you find a men's hat, black in color?

MR. YANNETTI: Did you find a size 12 men's shoe, black in color?

MR. YANNETTI: Now, you would agree that it's important to preserve and secure a crime scene?

MR. YANNETTI: Why is that?

MR. YANNETTI: Would you agree with that?

MR. YANNETTI: And what steps were taken, either by you or in your presence, to close off and secure the crime scene at 34 Fairview?

MR. YANNETTI: And when you say you had Officer Mullaney on the road, you mean blocking off the road, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Are you aware of something called a crime scene log?

MR. YANNETTI: Do you recall being trained in the academy that when there is a crime scene that needs to be preserved, it is advisable to set up a log so that all personnel are required to sign in and sign out — again, to prevent contamination and to prevent manipulation? Do you not recall that training?

MR. YANNETTI: With regard to the fact that it was actively snowing at the time, did you consider putting a tent around the area to prevent and minimize the environmental intrusions like the snow?

MR. YANNETTI: Did you utilize any heaters to assist in melting the snow in that area?

MR. YANNETTI: And before you cleared the scene — or I should say, when you cleared the scene — did you post an officer to guard the scene so that nobody could get in or out?

MR. YANNETTI: How long was the road closed off for?

MR. YANNETTI: All right. And then after the two hours, there was nobody guarding the scene, would you agree?

MR. YANNETTI: The road was not closed off?

MR. YANNETTI: That crime scene was open to the public, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: So with regard to a crime scene log, a tent, heaters, keeping an officer there to make sure nobody got in or out of that crime scene — none of those protocols were followed, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. So I guess leave the tent out of it — those other protocols were not followed, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And certainly a tent was not put up either?

MR. YANNETTI: Correct. Now, with regard to your police report — going back to that — your report clearly listed persons involved in the case, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And that police report is generated by computer software particular to police reports, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: And that's one of the categories that you can fill in, correct?

MR. YANNETTI: Would you agree with me that with regard to all of the persons involved listed in your police report, everybody's first name and last name was completely spelled out except for one? Would you agree with that?

MR. YANNETTI: Okay. But certainly the report has your name on it, correct?
