Jackson's question drew a sustained objection, but that didn't make Lank's judgment call to not separate witnesses any less mystifying. The defense pivoted to Lank's other reported observations at the scene.
The defense now had a first responding investigator say out loud that the alternative theory wasn't out of the question. Lenk himself ascertained that day a fight could have broken out at 34 Fairview Road.
But that indication wasn't given until days later.
By the looks of it, Lank took Jennifer McCabe's recall as fact, giving Karen's defense a perfect opportunity to cast more reasonable doubt.
Unlike Lieutenant Gallagher, Sergeant Lank did enter Nicole and Brian Albert's home. Jackson saw this as an excellent opportunity to explore another one of his team's theories.
But Lank made it nowhere near the basement.
The furthest he got inside the house was the entryway. No other rooms were entered, let alone searched.
Jackson wanted answers to Alina's question, too.
Lieutenant, that's all I'm asking.
There's that probable cause again. By Langstone testimony, the search seemed to begin and end there.
Lenk himself states that he could envision a scenario where a fight occurred resulting in John O'Keefe's death and a body being left outside the house. And yet, to him, this wasn't considered probable cause. From the outside looking in, this was high-key problematic.
Based on all this, it's clear neither the scene of the alleged crime nor the witnesses were ever properly secured. By day nine of the trial, it finally came time to hear from the homeowners themselves.
Nicole Albert was called to the stand first. In her testimony, Nicole attempted to settle the score once and for all about what occurred in her house the night John O'Keefe never made it home.
Prosecutor Lally wanted to get a sense of just how well Nicole and her husband were acquainted with Karen and John in the first place, taking her back to the hours spent at the waterfall bar and grill before the after party.
From Nicole's testimony, there was no denying their familiarity with John O'Keefe. Her husband, Brian Albert, testified to essentially the same thing.
But their familiarity with Karen Reed was a whole nother story. In prior statements, Brian Albert claimed he had never met Karen Reed before. And in an attempt to strip Brian of his credibility, Jackson called his claim into question.
And just like that, suspicion was cast on Brian Albert, and Jackson continued to play into it.
Brian Albert's cross-examination bled into May 13th, day 10 of the trial. This is when the defense saw an opportunity to tee up another one of their alternative theories for John's cause of death.
But there's a bit of an issue following this lead.
Not five months after John O'Keefe wound up dead on Brian and Nicole's front lawn, they rehomed their dog, Chloe. Brian claimed they made the decision to part with their furry friend of nearly seven years after she was involved in a dog fight in May 2022. Attorney Jennifer Roman says this detail piqued the interest of conspiracy theorists and could create even more confusion for the jury.
