The conduct of a former Massachusetts state trooper who was fired over his handling of the Karen Read murder investigation took centerstage at her retrial this week as defense lawyers spent hours grilling the ex-officer’s supervisor.

Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik acknowledged that he was also disciplined over misconduct allegations linked to Michael Proctor, the case agent who managed the investigation into the death of Boston police officer John O’Keefe. But the supervisor testified that the former trooper handled the probe with “honor and integrity.”

“I believe human beings all have biases,” Bukhenik said in a courtroom southeast of Boston. “Especially in this case, they did not affect the outcome of the investigation.”

Massachusetts State Police Sergeant Yuri Bukhenik testifies in Norfolk Superior Court, in Dedham, Mass., on Thursday.Charles Krupa / Pool via APProctor, who was fired after Read’s defense team raised allegations of misconduct at her widely watched first trial, has not testified at her retrial. It is not clear if he will.

Read, 45, is charged with second-degree murder, motor vehicle manslaughter while driving under the influence and leaving the scene of a collision causing death.
