  "description": "Day 29 opened with the conclusion of Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello's autopsy testimony, during which the defense elicited that O'Keefe had no injuries from the neck down and that his facial and hand injuries could be consistent with punching and defensive wounds — a concession Lally partially rehabilitated on redirect by listing the defensive wound markers absent from O'Keefe's body. After the Commonwealth formally rested, Judge Cannone denied the defense's directed verdict motion on all three counts, finding the prosecution met the Latimore standard on the basis of cumulative physical, testimonial, and digital evidence. The defense then opened its case with DPW plow driver Brian Loughran, who testified he saw nothing on the Albert front lawn during his passes around 2:45 and 3:15 a.m., though Lally challenged his credibility with prior inconsistent statements about his timing and the source of his knowledge about where O'Keefe was found. Dr. Marie Russell, a forensic pathologist and ER physician, testified that O'Keefe's arm wounds were consistent with an animal attack — possibly a large dog — but Lally on cross exposed her lack of a written report, late involvement six weeks into trial, unfamiliarity with relevant literature, and the negative K9 DNA results from UC Davis. Closing the defense's first day, digital forensics expert Richard Green testified that Jennifer McCabe's phone contained a deleted Google search for 'how long to die in cold' timestamped at 2:27:40 a.m. and that every call record before 8:50 a.m. on January 29 had been manually deleted — testimony Lally countered by forcing Green to acknowledge that his sworn affidavit contained an error and that two other experts rejected his timestamp interpretation.",
