"description": "Day 19 opened with SERT Commander Kevin O'Hara's account of the January 29, 2022 evidence search at 34 Fairview Road, where his team recovered taillight fragments and a buried sneaker under undisturbed snow. Yannetti's cross exposed that the crime scene had been abandoned since 7:50 a.m. — nearly ten hours before the nighttime search — and that lead investigator Trooper Proctor never once called O'Hara back for a follow-up daylight search despite an explicit offer to return. Forensic scientist Maureen Hartnett then testified through direct and cross about her vehicle and clothing examinations: no biological material linked the SUV to a pedestrian strike, glass fragments were merely resting on the bumper surface after a sixty-mile blizzard drive, and all evidence submitted to the lab arrived in a single batch on March 14 — six weeks after collection — with no documented chain of custody predating that submission. The day closed with trace evidence expert Ashley Vallier beginning testimony on physical match analysis, reaching the critical finding that fragments recovered from the road scene matched the tail light housing from Read's Lexus.",
