Here's attorney Ian Runkle. One of the key issues, and this is one that gets a lot of argument, is this issue of this internet search, which either occurs between 2 and 3 a.m. And if she does that search between 2 or 3 a.m., then the Commonwealth's case falls apart because they haven't

had to be aware at that point that John O'Keefe was dying in the cold at a time when nobody should have known except by the prosecution's theory, Karen Reid.
