He never did. After much ado about the texts, Jackson called Proctor's relationships with the witnesses into question. In pretrial testimony, Proctor had stated to the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office that he did not know any members of the Albert or McCabe families.
Proctor and Jackson take a few minutes to get on the same page.
This damning testimony from the lead investigator in the case against Karen Reed ended in another sustained objection. When the court returned from a midday break, Jackson called attention to ring video footage from John O'Keefe's home that Proctor was entrusted with investigating.
Yet, the video was nowhere to be found. Jackson played the surveillance footage for the court.
Correct. No argument there, but it still doesn't account for what happened to it. Jackson dug deeper in hopes of getting to the bottom of the fate of the ring footage. And as it turns out, Proctor wasn't the only trooper tasked with reviewing the tape.
Two reports. In DeChico's, the 1241 a.m. footage of Karen arriving home was seen. And in Proctor's, it's nowhere to be found. What could explain this?
Before Jackson could get closer to a solid answer for the missing video, Lally objected. We'll sustain.
No, there isn't. It appeared the court couldn't expect this piece of the puzzle to be wrapped up in any sensical way. And with the day already running long, Jackson had to make the most of the rest of his time with one of the case's star witnesses.
He used this as an opportunity to sum up every instance of unethical conduct and also present a particularly alarming text that had yet to come to light.
After Alan Jackson brings up this juicy and alarming detail that Canton Police Officer Kevin Albert allegedly left his gun and badge in Trooper Proctor's cruiser, Prosecutor Lally objected. It was sustained by Judge Canone, never to be elaborated on.
Proctor's two days on the stand may have been over, but what came out of them reverberated within the courtroom walls and beyond. Here's attorney Jennifer Roman with her reflections on how Proctor performed.
And attorney Will Corman anticipated bigger consequences than just character assassination alone.
Will isn't far off. After Proctor's time on the stand made the national news cycle, droves of spectators called for his immediate termination. Here's Christina Rex with what came in the aftermath.
But much to the disappointment to those left appalled in the days after his testimony, it isn't quite that easy.
A process the Massachusetts State Police will have no choice but to face.
Because ultimately, as Ian Runkle notes, it doesn't reflect well on the Massachusetts State Police and demands significant internal changes. Not to mention, it calls into question every case he's ever laid a hand on.
Regardless of your views on the guilt or innocence of Karen Reid, you have to at least acknowledge that no matter what, the behavior of Trooper Michael Proctor and his handling of evidence compromised this case from the jump.
