The woman accused of killing her Boston cop boyfriend has her final pre-trial hearing Friday morning. Karen Read is expected to head to trial next week for the murder of John O’Keefe. Investigators believe Read backed her car into O’Keefe and left him to die in the snow back in January of 2022 — but Read claims she’s innocent, saying another Boston police officer killed him after a night of drinking. Read pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.

Ok, time to sit through THIS Trial Again! 2nd time around should be interesting
I've never heard a judge interrupt as often as this judge. She tells the defense attorney he hasn't made a particular argument yet, but of course he hasn't because she keeps interrupting him. It's obnoxious.
YANETTI- the definition of a bada$$. When Lally quotes case law to try to keep YOUR evidence out using case law only to realize you ARE the case law.
01:01:30 Wanting to redact the manner of death on a death certificate in a 2nd degree MURDER case by the prosecution is a "common motion" per Lally and should be determined by the jury instead of the ME. He states it's "inappropriate" for the Dr to comment "OR DETERMINE" the MANNER of death in her own death certificate? and ONLY the jury should decide tht. This is preposterous .As Atty Little pointed out in the 1970's case law- in that case the defense didn't want the jury to hear the ME say the manner was "homicide" and implicate guilt. Lally doesn't want this jury to hear the ME list the manner stated as "undetermined" and suggest the possibility of innocence…
why even publish this when you can't hear it
I love listening to these arguments and pretending I’m the judge they are trying to convince 😅
2:08:15 idk who the blonde tub is in the bk but I hope she’s making those faces cause all this corruption
This is the most rude judge I’ve ever seen, she’s clearly biased as well. Wow, not sure how she is even a judge with her behavior. It’s appalling
I never watched this before now. Spicy! The judge should have dismissed the case after Yanetti dropped his bombs. I notice Lally was still saying Colin Albert wasn't at the house and a few weeks later he'll put him on the stand and elicit testimony that he WAS there. He's such a liar. It's hilarious that Lally accidentally cited YANETTI'S CASE to argue against him. His rebuttal was so panicked and ineffectual. The judge and the CW look corrupt because they can't possibly believe what they're saying. I chalked it up to stupidity or being bad at their jobs at first until I went through the pre-trial hearings. They knew all this information and they misconstrue, deceive, and lie about facts. It's not an "interpretation" what Karens says on this or that video. Multiple times Lally just LIES about what the video shows and then plays the video and expects us…not to notice?!
tHE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THESE COPS AND THEIR FAMILIES THOUGHT THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH THIS! THE JUDGE SOUNDS LIKE A BUFOON WITH HER HEAVY SIGHS AND SHE SOMETIMES FORGETS SHE IS MIC'D. SINCE WHEN DOES THE STATE RIGHT OFF THE RIP CHARGE SOMEONE WITH MURDER INSTEAD OF VEHICULAR HOMICIDE??? WHEN ALL THE PROOF IS ON THE TABLE THE CANTON POLICE MASS STATE POLICE AND ALL THEIR CROONIES ARE GOING TO HAVE ALOT IF EXPLAINING TO DO UNDER OATH. THIS FAMILY WENT AS FAR AS TO INCLIDE THEIR OWN KIDS ON THIS ITS INSANE. THEY MADE THEIR DAUGHTER THE ALIBI FOR THEIR PUNK NEPHEW 🙁 SAD PART IS THEY HAVE DESTROYED SO MANY LIVES. JOHN OKEEFES, HIS FAMILIES, KAREN READ AND HER FAMILY. ITS SAD SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE COMFORTING HIS NIECE AND NEPHEW INSTEAD SHE IS BEING TRIED FOR MURDER
What the heck is this, batting practice before the tennis match? 😅
Who is the girl in the shawl that constantly has a smirk on her face?
Guilty
What the ACTUAL eF?! 2:04:40
He was on to something (pretty Relevant && important imo) AND THE JUDGE JUST CUTS HIM OFF?!
Ummm, wow. Smh
great defense speakers all 3 of them
Court is back in session!
Put it where she belongs and stop wasting taxpayers money it’s criminal
But why whould a couple of police departments together do it against one person
Another reason why people get scared and lie the Justice system is corrupt 😢
This judge doesn't want to be there! Sounds bored and fed up!
This judge still reeling from being asked to recuse herself i see….talk about bias
Wow hating on the judge … the biased sheep calling the judge biased… and she was rougher on the State…. I hope the jury see this murdering monster for what she is….
If you know anything about the history of the Massachusetts State Police let alone Boston's corrupt law enforcement history then you'll know exactly what is at play here. If you don't believe me just do a search for Massachusetts police corruption.
I would wear my hair up and look a little more formal. My 2 cents.
This defense is impressive
What a complete moronic statement made by the prosecutor…and he is prosecuting someone? He needs to be held accountable for his calculus and calculating LYING
Wow
Brothers and Sisters About as Respectfully as Karen Did when It all adds up to her knowing that she willingly killed her xBoy friend she already had plans for leaving and she was Arguing with violently that Night when you check out Everything She's manipulative😮
What is with the heavy breathing from prosecution and Judge?!
What an utter waste of Tax payers money this prosecution team should be made to pay back out of their own pockets, The FBI needs to get onboard as this case has clearly been put together due to corruption of those in the house where this party was taking place. As this is where the questions & answer lay with the death of John O'keefe.
Lally said, "Having witnessed Brian Albert and Colin Albert essentially smash John O'Keefe's head into the tail light
What Karen actually said in State Police booking video presented in court by Adam Lally,
OK, you're aware he was beaten up by Brian and Colin Albert?
I mean, we’re all in on the same joke, right? My tail light was cracked and John's head was pulverized"
Lally, lied regarding what Karen Reed said!!! Nothing of he said was in that video he should be charged with perjury & Karen Reed should never brought in and arrested because she did have a lawyer and has been compliant! This judge is absolutely clueless and rude to the Defense she stop right in the middle of a lawyer speaking to take a break. 🤯
The older dude with the green shirt has attitude too ..who’s he
I watch court all the time, assorted kinds of cases. The snippiness between lawyers and judge in this murder case in unreal
I knew I'd seen this case before. Didn't remember it ended in a mistrial
I can’t wait for all the evidence to come out!
Entitled Karen, she looks like a b.tch. “ she was asked to leave the house but refused “
Anyone judging her based off how she looks is absolutely shallow and unintelligent. I noticed most of you are women. Deep down it’s probably jealousy, but whatever it is it’s gross. Some people are just animated. Get off your high horse.
With respect, I think the female defence attorney doesn’t have the presence in court (her voice sounds really nervous and the story and argument/s she’s trying to portray just doesn’t come across forcefully enough imo). Not saying she’s a bad attorney but some attorneys are just not that great on their feet as it were.
@42.46 the woman sounds like she's gunna have a breakdown.
You brilliant people realize she’s not in front of a jury, correct? She’s acting like an innocent person would act
