Former Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor, who was fired last month for his role in the Karen Read investigation, is on the witness list for her second trial, court documents revealed Monday.

Jurors were seen shaking their heads during Proctor’s testimony at her first trial, which ended with a hung jury. In a series of text messages that were read in court, he called Read a “wack job,” a “babe… with no a–” and a “c—.” He added that he wished she would kill herself and joked about looking through her phone for nude selfies.

He was the lead investigator into the death of Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, Read’s boyfriend at the time of his death, in January 2022.

KAREN READ’S 2ND MURDER TRIAL SET TO START IN DEATH OF BOYFRIEND COP: WHAT TO KNOW

Proctor has declined to comment on the case, but his wife and sister – also on the witness list – previously told Fox News Digital his texts did not compromise the investigation.

“At the end of the day, a beloved police officer and honorable man was killed,” his wife, Elizabeth Proctor, told Fox News Digital earlier this month.

“The prosecution believes it’s an open-and-shut case, and the defense knows this, too. So, their tactic is to put my husband, the lead investigator, on trial for sending texts on his personal phone to his friends and family.”

Those texts led to an internal investigation and Proctor’s firing, and experts say the fallout from them played a role in the original mistrial.

At the top of the witness list, which came in alphabetical order, is Aidan Kearney, a local news blogger who was charged with harassing and intimidating witnesses during the first trial.

Other names include Brian Higgins, an ATF agent who was among several members of law enforcement inside a house party at the same address where O’Keefe was found dead outside the following morning; Brian Albert, the homeowner, along with several members of his family; accident reconstruction expert Dr. Daniel Wolfe, and dozens of others.

An autopsy found the cause of his death to be blunt force trauma to the head and hypothermia.

O’Keefe had skull fractures, brain bleeding, swollen black eyes and cuts to his right arm, but the forensic pathologist held off on calling it a homicide, leaving the manner of death undetermined.

The second trial begins Tuesday.
