Reporters are barred from recording or live streaming the testimony of O’Keefe’s niece and nephew, whom he took in to raise following the deaths of their parents.
Footage shows 'Turtleboy' blogger Aidan Kearney yelling and gesturing at a surveillance camera in a pizza shop owned by Karen Read trial witnesses.
The niece, who WBZ-TV will not identify by name, is now a high school junior. She was around 14 years old when John O'Keefe died. She has a younger brother who testified during the first trial but did not testify during the retrial.
