Wasn't the search allegedly at 2:27am "hos long to die in cold" ?
EDIT: this was a typo from Boston Globe. The filing has the correct spelling of the search
mccabe googled how long to die in the cold at 227am then after "discovering" o'keefe's body at 6 something AM and her narrative is that "karen read kept yelling at her to google that" (???) that's in the filings from both prosecution & defense (that mccabe said karen yelled at her 2 or 3x to google that) and the prosecution did not hand over the evidence of mccabe's google searches until february 2023.

Prosecutors have
long denied that Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor, a lead investigator on Read’s case, had close ties with the Alberts. However, Jackson alleged federal officials determined that Proctor texted about having Julie Albert — Brian Albert’s sister-in-law — babysit for him 10 days before O’Keefe was killed.
Then, three days after O’Keefe’s death, Jackson said Proctor’s sister texted Proctor that Julie Albert wanted to give Proctor a thank-you gift “when all this is over.” According to Jackson, Proctor also admitted before a federal grand jury that he knows the Alberts, socializes with them, drinks with them, and goes to pool parties with them.
adding in some other interesting recent stuff:
Attorneys for the Mansfield woman charged in her Boston police officer's death say the case should be dismissed over 'distorted' facts presented by prosecutors.

Jackson said that Canton police Sgt. Michael Lank has a “personal, lifelong relationship” with one of the witnesses, Brian Albert. Lank was the first person to enter 34 Fairview Road, the Canton home where O’Keefe’s body was found outside, according to Jackson.
Jackson referred to a fight from 2002 involving Brian Albert, the homeowner at 34 Fairview Road, as an example that Lank previously used his position in law enforcement to “shield” a member of the Albert family from criminal liability — something that was never disclosed during the district attorney’s investigation.

A “clear and egregious” conflict of interest exists between lead State Police investigator Michael Proctor and witnesses in the case, Jackson said, adding that the relationships were withheld during the state’s investigation.
In text messages uncovered by federal investigators from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Jackson said that 10 days before O’Keefe’s death, Proctor texted his own family members about having a member of the Albert family babysit his child.
“There is a level of closeness that cannot be understated,” Jackson said.
Jackson said another text message unearthed by the federal investigation exemplified “quid pro quo” between Proctor and an Albert family member named Julie.
Three days after O’Keefe died, Proctor received a text from his sister: “Just saw Julie and Julie said when all this is over, she wants to give you a thank you gift.”
Instead of notifying the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office or stating that an exchange of gifts should never be suggested again, Jackson said, Proctor simply replied, “Get Elizabeth one.”

Karen Read is accused of running down John O’Keefe in reverse with her Lexus SUV in Canton but an accident reconstructionist hired by the FBI found O’Keefe’s injuries did not appear to be from a car strike.

Her defense team, led by attorney Alan Jackson, presented a motion to dismiss the second-degree murder case against Read in Norfolk County Superior Court in Dedham.
She is accused of running down John O’Keefe in reverse with her Lexus SUV in Canton but an accident reconstructionist hired by the FBI found O’Keefe’s injuries did not appear to be from a car strike.
“The damage on the car was inconsistent with having made contact with John O’Keefe’s body. In other words, the car didn’t hit him, and he wasn’t hit by the car. Period. Full stop,” Read’s attorney Alan Jackson said.
The defense claims O’Keefe was beaten and attacked by a dog inside the former Canton home of another Boston police officer named Brian Albert in a wide-ranging cover-up involving local and state law enforcement.
Jackson said State Police Detective Michael Proctor, the lead detective assigned to investigate O’Keefe’s death, had a personal relationship with members of the Albert family that was not disclosed to the state grand jury that indicted Read.
“It’s not lost on anybody in this courtroom that for two years the Commonwealth has been denying it,” Jackson said.
