One of the Defense attorneys reminds me of Juan Martinez from the Jodi Arias trial.
She said I did this because she left him at the Alberts and went home when she should have stayed with him. They were out for the night.
At this point if I were on the jury I wouldn’t just have reasonable doubt, I’d have huge doubt.
She totally hit him. She may not have meant for him to die, but she absolutely hit him.
Those poor kids. Orphaned again. So sad
Hawght
@19:21 it sounds more like people who make these stretches may be medicated 🙂 I mean, this case is a joke. Looks like the entire case is built on what a devastated woman said in the moment of the greatest shock. How on earth, could the police to not look into the problematic relationships with his next door neighbors? 🤦♀
100% cover up
If you were blown away by anything you listened to turtleboy clearly..
Curious to me how Karen Read called Jennifer McCabe looking for John and she asked Jennifer to search for him with her maybe Karen was actually trying to frame the Albert's after she hit John. Very Curious and sus .
Saying " its my fault""🎉 I did this " could just be guilt feelings, not that she physically did it. I've blamed myself for bad things that happened even though I had zero to do with it. It could be a situation where she feels that if they weren't arguing he wouldn't have been at that place and would have been with her instead. Hence…. I did this. I have a gut feeling that she is innocent.
I can't believe she was even charged!!
There was no way those gashes in his arm came from the car!
The timing of the search leads me to think that he would likely have not spent all that time outside, but he would have had to die elsewhere and be thrown out into the cold later, if they still tried to resuscitate him.
Bring on the Furhman tapes!
I wonder if she was going to leave him and that's what the comments were about
Knowing how American police officers all stick together it actually wouldn't surprise me if there was a cover up going on
I wouldn't even put it past them to even threaten or bribe witness's
It sounds like that other copper needs to be in court also
She certainly suits the name
Even the face is a typical Karen
Smells like an OJ trial to me blame the police and not the actual crime and who benefits from it.
The key to this case is how online and exposed to the "Free KR" movement the jurors are or were.
If they imbibed the KoolAid they vote not guilty. If they truly never heard of the case and the Free KR movement then I'm fairly certain they won't buy this New England version of the "OJ defense", and will vote guilty.
Are those the officer's parents to the left of Read. Is that the mom….shaking her head? She believes Read killed her son?
We ALL know police dont lie or participate in cover-ups and are extrodibarily peaceful whereas Financial advisors who teach at colleges are notoriously deceptive and violent and are blasting people with revolvers and. fists all over the country for no apparent reason at all ……🤢
They should have checked under Reads nails…
Jesse Weber, what are your beauty secrets? I need to up my game and whatever you are doing is working well.
fbi investigators state John was not killed by a car
These people acted like they were drunks in HIGH SCHOOL, Karen Read included!
Unauthorized access to an electronic device, what the officer did with no warrant, is a felony in most states. That investigator should be under felony investigation and facing very serious charges.
Karen Read equals a combination of snake and witch. Just admit you hit him and you are a nut job.
100% over up and corruption.
If he never made it into the party and Karen left after 12:30 with 8 people still there, no one saw his body as they were leaving? Also if she did do it, the investigators on this case ruined it for themselves. This is so odd, when cops die they typically do everything in their power to get justice for one of their own.
Jackson plays word games
The weridest thing to me is how they found the tail light pieces 12 hours after the incident when the snow melted. If it was there when it happened it would of been on top of the snow or indented into the snow. Seems very suspicious to me.
Karen looking at her watch
Out of the words of the prosecution :
The people inside the house saw the vehicle pull up , and saw the vehicle leave ??? Did they close their eyes at the supposed accident.
They didnt hear the car revving up in reverse to get to 24mph ?? , a car reversing at speed makes a distinct noise , perhaps they had their fingers in their ears.
Amazing how they saw the vehicle out front and saw it leave but nothing else that would cause them to call the police.
I think the prosecution has just made a huge mistake
Yeah, Karen don’t stop, cause it’s 187 on a uniform corp.
I hope once Karen is exonerated the federal probe leads to the right people being prosecuted
I 100% believe the fire paramedics where approached AFTER they had given original statements to change it to look bad for karen read? They all lied under oath?
When does the testimony in this trial start?
Not guilty of murder!
