Karen Read murder trial: Prosecutors face challenge with 'undetermined' cause of death
Fox News
The jury is set in Karen Read's divisive murder trial, and a forensic expert explains how the medical examiner's "undetermined" cause of death affects the case.
O'Keefe's official cause of death is listed as "undetermined," which sets up the medical examiner as the "big star" of the trial, forensics expert John Scott Morgan told Fox News Digital.

"I urge everybody that's following this case to really pay close attention to what the medical examiner says, because they will be asked to explain the logic behind listing this as an undetermined," Morgan said. "I would expect the defense to particularly focus in on that question, and it will be framed in a manner in which they will say, 'Well, you know, we've got the prosecutor here that is saying that this is, in fact, a murder. What is it, doctor, what is keeping you from ruling this as a homicide?"
