Nicholas Barros

police officer United States

Nicholas Barros is a Dighton Police Sergeant who gained attention during the retrial of Karen Read, where he provided critical testimony regarding the condition of Read's SUV taillight. Initially a witness for the prosecution in Read's first trial, Barros surprised the courtroom by appearing as a defense witness in the retrial, asserting that the taillight was less damaged at the time he saw it than it appeared in subsequent photographs. His statements raised questions about the evidence presented by the prosecution and suggested the possibility of mishandled evidence, significantly impacting the defense's case in the murder trial of Karen Read, who is accused of killing Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe.
