Trial reporting places a connection to O'Keefe's home Wi-Fi at approximately 12:36 a.m.
What the record shows
Bukhenik referred to the reported network connection while discussing unavailable Ring footage. Separate retrial reporting describes the calls and voicemails presented by Guarino.
Limits and disputed context
A network event places the phone in connection with a network at that time; it is not a continuous record of all later movements.
Claims connected to this record
We examine defense arguments and broader inferences separately. Each heading is a paraphrase of the proposition being tested, not a quotation or a finding. The source account comes first; our reasoning is labeled. Missing evidence is not automatically evidence that an event could not happen.
These claim assessments cover the criminal trials through June 18, 2025. Later proceedings are covered separately in After the Verdict. These are selected assessments, not an exhaustive trial record. Most sources are trial reporting; a passage check does not authenticate original evidence. Several reports may describe the same testimony, and measurements from one phone are not independent witnesses. Rejecting a proposed cover-up mechanism does not establish a collision or guilt.
Missing Ring footage establishes that Read deleted it
A counterclaim tested by the same standard; this is not presented as a defense argument.
Why the claim is raised
Missing footage has prompted questions about account access and deletion.
Strongest evidence or missing support
Bukhenik testified that Ring supplied no evidence documenting Read accessing the account.
Our reasoning
We do not assign a deliberate deletion to someone solely because a recording is unavailable. The same distinction applies to missing material associated with other people.
Limits and strongest remaining objection
A gap alone establishes neither its cause nor the responsible person. The absence of an access record in this account does not prove that every possible form of access was impossible.
