- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- The Karen Read murder trial opened Monday in Norfolk Superior Court. A jury will consider whether Read killed her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, outside a home in Canton, Massachusetts, as the prosecution alleges, while her lawyers will work to show, as they've long contended, that she is innocent, the victim of a large-scale cover-up. After opening statements, prosecutors called the first three witnesses: O'Keefe's brother, Paul; Paul's wife, Erin O'Keefe; and Canton Police Officer Steven Saraf.

This might be the worst opening statement I’ve ever heard for the prosecution. Literally trying to confuse the jury.
No kidding. There’s no need to name every single person involved as witnesses in the opening statement. Save it for when the witnesses are actually being questioned.
Yesssss
Defense Attorney’s opening statement is devastating for commonwealth. Let’s see how they recover
They’re not. Can’t wait for the investigation into the cops when this trial concludes.
Status report: They still haven’t
Omg, his sister passed then her husband passed a few months later and now John!!! Jesus, those poor children, they can’t frigin catch a break!!! That’s beyond devastating!!! I wonder what happened to them and where they are now!!?? I pray that another family member took them in and they didn’t end up in foster care!!!
The kids’ tragic string of losses is what has affected me the most out of this entire trial, too…I’m sure they are with family since the O’Keefes appear to be pretty tight-knit,
and I hope they are in some kind of therapy as well. Even though kids are unimaginably resilient, I think that losing their parents and the substitute parental figures within a few short years could be the kind of pain that might affect their relational styles as they grow into adulthood.
I wish that judge would mute her mic when she sighing like she's bored and scuttles all around....
Defense opening statements are like case closed for me.
I had to keep rewinding the prosecutor's opening back, I kept veering off thinking of other things. Most boring opening I've heard and in a case like this!
SAME
👋… same here. I can’t get over all of the different names of people he listed. I’m totally lost!
Sammmeee
It is absolutely HORRIBLE. Where did this Judge come from? She doesn't care about anyone getting a fair trial. She already has her own personal feelings about this case.
SAME
Brother is in total denial. He described the wounds that his brother had and it doesn't take a genius to know that they don't add up to getting hit by a car.🤦🏻♀️
The guy was dealt a crappy hand in life but I agree, he’s angry at the wrong person
With all todays technology can't we figure out how to remove breathing/wind from microphones. Geeze that witness was blowing into the damn mic
It's not the witness it's the damn Judge
You are like me... you have Misophonia
@@iVtheDemonKnight wow Ive never even heard of this until now but it definitely makes sense... I thought everyone was like this in some way though? I wouldn't say it makes me irrate or anything but thinking about it now ive actually had some issues that make sense. I've quit jobs over co-workers who would make certain noises, and almost got into legal trouble for another time where a neighbor was excessively beeping his horn. But normally those noises wouldn't bother me much, it's more about people being rude/inconsiderate lol. Is there anything for that?
It's not a movie set.
Witness Katie McLaughlin (a Canton Firefighter/Paramedic) graduated from Canton High w/ Caitlin Albert in 2014. When the Defense brought up photos of McLaughlin socializing & being in the same friend group w/ Caitlin Albert, Lally objected to the jury seeing those photos. Judge Cannone sustained.
This jury is being deprived of any knowledge & evidence of the many ways in which the Alberts had their hands in this investigation. *Kevin Albert, Brian Albert's brother, arranged Katie McLaughlin's interview* w/ MSP Trooper Proctor _AFTER_ Canton PD was expelled & Massachusetts State Police was assigned to investigate instead (due to a _conflict of interest_ with Kevin & Brian's relationship). Kevin was conflicted out & then spoke to the witness - which could be called "witness tampering!"
This is the _ONLY_ witness who claims to have heard Karen say she hit John, and she happens to be biased - yey the judge doesn't want the jury to know that! In fact, she prevented them from knowing it, and they must instead infer the truth solely from Jackson's unanswered questions of McLaughlin as to who arranged her police interview. This is a violation of Karen Read's rights & prohibitive of a fair trial.
A man was found deceased on Brian Albert's lawn, and NOBODY in his home at the time was ever investigated. The home was never SEARCHED. Trooper Proctor's text messages to friends revealed that the Alberts _wouldn't be investigated_ because Brian was "a Boston cop." The corruption has been *_displayed on a silver platter_*
Absolutely unbelievable.
Lally said he never saw the photo before?
Well then he is completely incompetent.
These photos have been seen all over multiple sites.
What attorney in this day would not search the web for all information prior to trial?
Complete BS.
Ms Mcglaughlin cannot recall of she was at the home before.
Wouldn’t pulling up to an emergency jog her memory.
BS.
The judge is corrupt.
@@Jina_G is she in on the conspiracy as well? Whew these people control a whole state. It's incredible
@@LeannaMurphy-mx7zy I have been in photos with people I went to high school with. I must still be heavily involved in their lives after high school
Who'd be better at getting a body from inside a house to the front of his lawn w/o being noticed than Brian Albert, a Boston PD surveillance expert? Who better to know how police would investigate a dead body on someone’s property?
He knew he could use his family connections w/ the Canton & State Police to keep them from asking him probing questions, taking pictures of his face/hands, and doing the same for his nephew Colin. He knew police would normally search his house, which is likely why he made phone calls that night - to make sure it never happened. He could prove us all wrong by handing over his phone, but he won’t do that.
lets not forget how quick he then sold his home that apparently was in the family for generations
Why is he allowed to not hand over his phone?
Oh. And put the body in the FRONT yard, where they could be seen? A car passing by, someone coming home or leaving, a neighbor standing at a window looking out? John was at least 6 feet & weighed 200 pounds. That is difficult for one person to maneuver when that person is alive (John was still alive when he was found, so he had to be alive when/ if he was moved). So it would have probably taken more than one man to move him. Instead of putting John in the BACK yard, they carried him all the way up or down the stairs (depending on WHERE in the house he was killed), maneuvered him out the door, carried him all the way across the yard, through the gate, and then all the way across the front yard? SERIOUSLY? Karen screamed over and over "I hit him, I hit him, I hit him". His blood was found on the bumper of her vehicle, the tail light was broken. She was very drunk, but did not pass out for several hours when she got back home? And SUDDENLY just woke up a few hours later, he wasn't home, and she immediately panicked and enlisted his friends to go with her to look for him? Could see where he was outside the house, when Jen & Carrie couldn't see anything, and went running right to him? Give me a break! And then comes up with this massive cover-up, AFTER the cops, the paramedics, Jen & Carrie listened to her say many, many times that she hit him?
@@Patricia-kz4rl You now know Brian A. would leave John outside on the lawn if he accidentally ended him because he did it, knowing he'd get away w/ it. He hasn't been arrested. Cops never even searched his house! Why?
Brian A. has dirt on every powerful person in a 50-mile radius because of his position in law enforcement and the privileges that gave him to pull strings and make things go away. A favor for a favor. Lots of people "owe him one." So, all he has to say to get some help from them is, "If I go down, you're going down with me." Suddenly, people are willing to do whatever he needs.
The original McAlbert plan was to blame the snow plow driver. Then, Karen told Jen that she was so frantic, she cracked her tail light backing into John's car at 5am as she left home that morning. Jen secretly called her sister from the car at 6:04am & whispered, "Karen cracked her tail light! I told her she could've hit John with her car!" Brian said that was a much better story to go with (allegedly). Canton PD took everything he told them at face value.
They didn’t take 1 photo of John's body at the scene. They should have. That's standard procedure in every police department in the world. So is measuring (or drawing a chalk outkine) where the body was, documenting everything, including all interviews, in reports, and 20 other basic aspects of police work that Canton PD opted out of on 1/29/22.
3 quarts of John's blood were lost according to the ME but were never located. Only a few separate small spots of blood were around him. The 3 quarts were in Brian Albert's basement (allegedly), where nobody looked. That's why he ripped the floor out & replaced it afterward.
The trial has presented objective proof of misconduct & nefarious behavior on the part of the Alberts, the McCabes, and all involved law enforcement officers.
Did you hear all of this in testimony? I mean about the Alberts having apparently so much power over almost everyone! And the plan to kill John Okeefe was in the works for quite awhile. Otherwise they would have had to do some damn fast thinking from the time John was found, until Karen was arrested. Did she not find it odd, when dropping him off at the Alberts, that he did not come from in back of her car & walk up to the Alberts front door? He was 6' & weighed 200 pounds, but she did not feel anything when she hit him? It may very well have started out being an accident, but if she KNEW she hit him, did not go in to the Alberts' for help, & left him there, then an accident becomes vehicular homicide. Coupled with the fact if Karen was very drunk , had she gone to the police she would also be charged with DUI & leaving the scene of an accident. She left John there to save her own ass. If she went home and went to sleep, WHAT made her wake up a few hours later thinking something was wrong? Why couldn't John have slept on the Arnolds' couch? She KNEW something was wrong because she remembered she hit him, or could not remember if she did, so she had to go find out. Her act in front of Jen, Carrie, the cops, paramedics, and other first responders was all for show & Oscar-worthy. She realized when she opened her mouth & screamed "I hit him, I hit him, I hit him", that she had to come up with something, so her and her lawyer concocted the "cover-up" scenario.
Poor family, two of three kids gone…
I'm feeling that she's innocent but she definitely has reasonable doubt already.
Why hasn't ANYONE mentioned the possible motive behind John being assigned to the sex offender unit?
Maybe he saw or heard something he couldn't let go....
When you become a parent, especially of female pre-teens, your mind wakes up to all of the dangers around them...
Now imagine being introduced to the sex offender unit after becoming a parent of two pre-teens.....
Guaranteed his life changed forever once assigned to that division.....
Guranteed he was the walking guard of every child 24/7..... ie; no "jokes" allowed... no bs allowed EVER..... those heroes have to view and witness the most horrendous acts imagined...
It literally can change their brain chemistry.... it can change your outlook on life and the people around you... which ultimately pisses off the narcissistic predators around them.....
I don't believe in coincidences....
You shouldn't either.
And we know that the feds attacked the honest cops in the Jeffrey Epstein case who tried to protect those children. Joseph Recarey, the detective who refused to drop the case, was also killed. The feds continue to protect every one of Epstein's pedophile customers to this day. Is that why the feds are buttng in to a state case?
There are so many holes in this case.
When is Proctor going to jail? After Karen Read is freed?
The last day of motions before the trial when Attorney Little talked about Trooper Proctor testifying and Aunt Bev said "What makes you think he will be testifying?" I was stunned. I already knew he should of excused himself due to knowing the Albert's and McCabes personally but that in itself isn't criminal. When the opening statements revealed he was looking for nudes on a phone he didn't even have a warrant to search yet I was even more stunned and thought the lead investigator into a murder case is going to take the 5th? (It has to be a first in American law)Who knows what else the feds have on him.
non of them will go to jail. the system is to corrupt.
@@ThomasJones-ij6hv unfortunately, the lead investigator on a famous death row case concerning a crime that took place in 1996 where a mom’s throat was slashed and her 2 boys were murdered had a lead investigator that was allowed to take the 5th! The woman , Darlie Routier has been sitting on Death Row since 1997. I have no professional legal background, however, I personally feel that the fact that the lead investigator’s refusal to answer questions ( though his assertion of his right to plead the fifth was granted by the judge) about his investigation methods should have been ( at the very least ) grounds for a mistrial!
Idk, I didn't know a lot about this case and I'm glad I didn't so I could listen to this trial without prejudice. Let me just say, the Prosecutor was awful in his opening and the Defense knocked it out of the water and did an excellent job, imo. I already have doubt of her guilt just after listening to the Defense's opening but I will continue to be open-minded. I just know that I feel terrible for John's mother- that poor woman (and her husband) - wow, losing a daughter, then her son-in-law and now her son John- so sad and awful......I feel very sorry for John's niece and nephew, too. May this trial bring light to what the truth really is!
I agree... those poor kids😢... they've lost so much in their short lives.
This jury is being deprived of any knowledge & evidence of the many ways in which the Alberts had their hands in this investigation. The judge is withholding evidence of the witness's bias from the jury!
The _ONLY_ witness who claims to have heard Karen say she hit John happens to have been friends with Brian Albert's daughter for over ten years - and the judge doesn't want the jury to know that! In fact, she prevented them from knowing it, and they must instead infer what the true facts are solely from Jackson's unanswered questions of McLaughlin (a Canton PD Firefighter/Paramedic).
As Jackson stated for the record, this is a violation of Karen Read's rights & prohibitive of a fair trial.
I remind you that a man was found deceased on Brian Albert's lawn, and NOBODY in his home at the time was ever investigated. The home was never SEARCHED. The corruption is *_staring you in the face!_*
I personally don’t think she murdered Johnny. The way she was distraught and upset and asking his medical condition seems more like a person who genuinely cares. Besides what would she gain by killing him? Nothing. I think this town had a lot of bad or dirty cops and depending on what society or social class you didn’t belong to you could be screwed. Some towns are run like that. A lot of shady stuff goes on from those who have authority. I don’t think this about every cop but do recognize that it’s all about who you know…. she probably was framed. But I will watch it all before my final conclusion
The prosecutor & his opening statement were about as exciting as waiting for water to boil!😂
Now this is an opening statement, kudos and to the Defense! You hit is on the nail, she was framed!
Terrible prosecution opening statement. Too long, too detailed and I wanted so bad to listen but kept drifting away.
this witness is a freaking liar and should be held in contempt
And since when is “firefighter” a title ???
Give us all a break
So annoying
And the judge… out of pocket !
Nice witnesses frineds of friends and lying cop
Career criminal prosecutor
“Karen was the convenient outsider” honestly choked me up a little 🐕
Funny there’s no video of the cops house WVERYONE EVEN POOR PEOPLE HAVE CAMERAS
Apparently, he is in charge of surveillance at PD also ... they think we are all so stupid
Opening statement is horrible long winded and the guy can’t land the plane. Horrible opening statement, he’s all over the place and truly can’t keep the storyline straight.
Karen is Innocent. Turtleboy is the only source of news in MA
LOL activism is NOT journalism or news. You are a clown
Boom 💥
I'm sorry how did he get those scratches on his arms, and backing up she hit him hard enough to crack his head on snow and grass? More likely it happened on cement in the back where they repaved after they rehomed the dog and sold the house I'm sorry SHADY!!
I read that the dog was rehomed bc it got into a fight with another dog, and the house was listed for sale before this incident. Please wait until all the evidence is presented in the trial.
I will wait but it’s obvious that this is not right! The state trooper who was lead investigator was friends with the owners of house and texted his friends he wished Karen would kill herself and wanted to find nude photos on her phone…I’m sorry this is all beyond shady.
She’s guilty
@@kimmccormack5451 No she is not that is ridiculous!
@@chinzia4381that's not true... the house was not on the market. As far as the dog I don't doubt that it Dead Bite another dog I believe it a bit before but they never got rid of it before they knew the dog could be mean and aggressive and not just to other dogs the owner said if the dog didn't know someone he could be that way
Back the blue till it happens to you
This is supposed to be an opening statement by the prosecution? Sounds more like the trial itself. This prosecutor is packing his side of what happened, his version, and not what he will be proving to be true. I liken what the prosecutor is doing to the a 911 caller-killer stating, setting up his/her alibi. Like:This is what happened "detail-detail-detail- and then saying to 911, but I wasn't there and I know nothing bc I'm soooo innocent.
These two opening statements made by the two sides are the perfect example of why some attorneys become Prosecutors and others become Defense attorneys.
There is an art to being a Criminal Trial Defense Attorney - when you stand up in front of a jury and give an opening statement it's a performance! A great Defense attorney will be engaging, a bit dramatic, tell a compelling story that the jury is completely interested in listening to ... this is the Defense's first and only chance to make a great impression on the jury and it can significantly affect how the jury considers the rest of the trial, whether they look forward to when the Defense cross examines the State witnesses, whether they look forward to the defense's case in chief, and whether they are open-minded with defense witnesses and eagerly anticipate the defense's closing statements/arguments. A great Defense attorney can flip the whole trial on its end.... the perfect example of this is the Casey Anthony trial in which Jose Biaz took on the powerful State with great Prosecutors and not only kept her off death row, but got her not guilty verdict!
This is Prosecutor was dull, monotone, boring, and it probably required every ounce of energy the jury had to keep listening to his droning on and on.
This is the defense attorney I would want if I was ever in this situation. I started off convinced by the media that the wife was guilty. Then the defense attorney convinced me every one else did it lol. He turned it into a real life episode of murder she wrote. 😊
They’re some of the best I’ve seen
I’m not familiar with this case so I’m watching it closely
It’s a very very interesting case for sure
You and I both
What are all of your thoughts presently?
His poor family 😢😢, losing two children, now this huge conspiracy :(
I agree, it's beyond words 😢
Not looking into the house on the property of where a deceased person was found, especially with one shoe on, that alone creates serious reasonable doubt for sure.
The more I listen to the Defense opening .. the phone… looking for nudes… doubt, doubt, doubt..
Brian Albert didn’t come out of his house when a friend of his was dead in his front lawn, bet he took a few punches to his face and couldn’t be seen
Could the court audio be worse?
Judge Cannone and Assistant D.A. Lally, par for the course for anyone who grew up around Bawstin. Newbies (a.k.a., anybody who showed up after about the year 2000) and out-of-staters, welcome to our normal. Friendly word of advice to anybody thinking of moving to Mass who thinks there's a chance they might find themselves on the wrong side of the law, you'd probably be better off heading to Louisiana or Mississippi. And if you're "from here", you know the drill, lean hard on your local connections, particularly if they went to BC Law. Bonus points if they're a Triple Eagle.
The prosecutor is great with witnesses, but his opening needed to give brief evidence and save the names for each witness. 😳
Is your opinion that he’s great with witnesses different today? Lmao
It has been 25 days of trial and Lally has yet to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt. 🤔
My heart breaks for this family truly devastating
Good God, that opening was so boring and useless from the prosecution. That defense opening was very compelling though, really well done.
If Karen is guilty, this prosecutor is doing a shit job proving it. His questions to the officer are terribly irrelevant. Also, why cant he form a question other than leading with, "What if anything...?"
Thank you Karen!!!!
Interested in seeing what the vehicle data shows , the backing up at times ? Keeping an open mind though
Lot of clan members here 😂
Factssss lmao
@5:21:25 He clearly says it was still dark outside but YES HE CAN SEE THE BODY ON THE GROUND!!! I know Karen tried to help him but theres no way she pulled him out of the snow or melted any snow so he would be seen.... he said it only took him a couple of minutes to get there
I cried watching the brother. I don’t like to see people hurt. That had to be tough to do.
What was the point of the prosecution showing all those surveillance videos at johnny house, what am I missing?
I'm going to answer my own comment here. It's now 2 weeks later and I now absolutely see why all those videos were played and entered into evidence. It was such a naive question from me at the time, but I feel I understand so much more about court procedure, AND I'm understanding and getting the prosecution.
Have been following the trial for about 2 weeks. Just now listening to the opening statements. It's glaringly obvious that Lally's m.o. is confusion.
I’m so confused. Is the prosecutor just listing witnesses for his opening?
Are these witnesses just to help set up a family tree? I don’t totally understand how this was helpful to the prosecution
More helpful for defense
Oh that JUDGE.....she is so dull.
Covered in 6 inches of snow? And under the body was grass?
I was thinking... Could it have melted from his body heat laying there for so long
You obviously don't live in any kind of weather that has severe snow @@bellab9286 that is not how bodies react to it.
@@bellab9286you are so naive on snow. 😂
I think officer said “there was about 6” of snow but only a light dusting on top of him”
@@ApplePie..yeah, body heat can melt snow.
I guess he wants to add charges on using her phone while driving
Didn’t the Albert’s house have surveillance cameras???
We’ve got a lot to see but so far prosecution is starting off a little weak. I want to get to the juicy stuff.

If that attorney says sort of one more time😳😳😳
He better sorta stop! Ugh!
😂😂😂😂😂
I sorta second that 😄
Idk so far the procecution has fluff
Omg my heart breaks Everytime I see the elderly parents !!! Wtf happened?? I live an hour southeast of where this happened right on the coast in Rhode Island and we get pretty nasty noreasters. I remember that storm BC of this case and we got over 18 in that day. I am just now getting into the trial and holy shit wtf happened.
At 47.17 time on the video, is the prosecution saying there were RATS under his body?
Maybe grass?
Interesting, i didn't see Higgins come with his snow plow on his Jeep to clear the driveway. Or ANY of the Albert's show up at all but because Karen came and got her shit and left we're supposed to think she killed him? She left with one bag and her car, which is why she needed to come with her family for a ride. Those video's were a great big nothing burger. 😒
Why is the defense not cross examining these witnesses?
i think they do at the end when it’s their time
They are sympathetic witnesses and they the defense doesn’t want to see cold , there’s nothing they know to tell them that’s worth making the jury mad , but they will soon start cross examining the ones that are in question well that the defense want to create reasonable doubt
I think they were all in it… KR and the other side. She was easy to manipulate being the way she was… cheating with his own “friend” and just easy peasy. She thought she was in on the plan but they set her up to take the fall. She’s guilty of something. That’s why she was placed at the house that morning after the bar. They told her to deny being there, that she left the from the bar to home. That’s why she looked guilty because she lied. It was a set up/ murder. She didn’t realize she was the outsider. She was the one that was going to take the fall.
Why aren't they cross examining the witnesses?
Because it's not hurting the defense that's why
@@ApplePie..Erin’s testimony definitely hurt her, lol. What do you mean?
NFW there's a conviction. If the evidence plays out as the defense says, there is reasonable doubt the "officers" conducted the investigation honestly. I came here to ask what all the background noises are in the videos. It's like the cops were moving furniture while trying to capture the ring videos/cop car footage. LAME.
I know they moved the trial to a smaller courtroom at the Defense's request but I would imagine they are regretting that now given Karen Read is literally sitting 2 feet from John's family and they are sitting there staring daggers at her the entire time! They literally have no where else to look except at her ... I bet she feels so awkward every time there's a sidebar and she's left alone at the table with no one in between her and his family... Paul O'Keefe looks like he wants to reach over and smack her upside the head!
I'm sorry but is that the jury behind him the guy is clearly sleeping
Not the jury. Jurors can’t be shown on TV. that’s just friends and family
That's John O'Keeffe father
😅 oh boy, Justine
Have they ever said how Steve died?
UPDATE - I found out Stephen died from a heart attack... poor family.
Hypothermia
@chinzia4381 Steve????!!! NO, it was never mentioned how he passed away!
@TimeaWebster
The autopsy report states that hypothermia was a contributing factor in his death.
The feds said %100 that it wasn’t a car accident
@@chinzia4381 no, you're confusing people. John (O'Keefe), the victim in this case- HE'S the one that died of hypothermia along with other physical injuries. Steve, who the OP was inquiring about, is John O'Keefe's brother-in-law (John's sister Kristen's husband) and he died just a few months after Kristen died of a glioblastoma cancerous brain tumor. It was never said, at least that I heard, what Steve died of.....
This guy is going to be on trial for murder, he’s so boring he’s killing me
😂😂😂
Hi
I think this was an unfortunate accident caused by a bad blizzard and a night of drinking, nothing more. There's no murder, there's no cover up.
You should watch the trial.
The evidence shows something else.
Who'd be better at getting a body from inside a house to the front of his lawn w/o being noticed than Brian Albert, a Boston PD surveillance expert? Who better to know how police would investigate a dead body on someone’s property?
He knew he could use his family connections w/ the Canton & State Police to keep them from asking him probing questions, taking pictures of his face/hands, and doing the same for his nephew Colin. He knew police would normally search his house, which is likely why he made phone calls that night - to make sure it never happened. He could prove us all wrong by handing over his phone, but he won’t do that.
100 percent facts.
Have you watched the entirety of this case or you just spewing non facts?.
You will see the cover up, and the false testimonials of police and witnesses
Someone get the prosecutor some damn water for god sales his dry mouth and coughing is annoying
Just finished day one. So far the evidence is leaning against the defendant. The defense has not done anything so far to dispute what the prosecutor has presented. Will watch day two now.
Umm
They can’t until the prosecution is done. That’s how trials work.
@@LeannaMurphy-mx7zylmfao 🙏🏻 bingo
😅😅
@@LeannaMurphy-mx7zythat’s not how trials work 😂 They cross everyone they want, they just didn’t to his family members who have no part in the evidence. The point of cross is to dispute the evidence the prosecution is trying to get the jury to believe.
What are your thoughts now?
I feel like I'm watching the Johnny Depp trial.... what if any? what if any? what if any? Just like Amber Turds attorney always said.
3 itimes the defence opening contradicts his own story
Entitlement!!!!!!
Who?
All the Canton FD and PD?
Serious lack of diversity in that town!
She has a good Attorney. Planted the Alibi through a facious anonymous phone call. It's a simple case blown out of proportion. She was pissed and drunk hit him then sobered up and had remorse. In my humble opinion.

*Kevin Albert, Brian Albert's brother, arranged Katie McLaughlin's interview* w/ State Trooper Proctor _AFTER_ Canton PD was banned from the case & Massachusetts State Police was assigned to investigate instead (due to a _conflict of interest_ created by Kevin & Brian's relationship). That is *IMPROPER!*
When attorney Jackson asked McLaughlin about this on the stand, Lally objected & Judge Cannone sustained.
McLaughlin graduated from Canton High with Caitlin Albert in 2014 in a class of 213. When attorney Jackson brought up photos of McLaughlin socializing & being in the same friend group with Caitlin Albert since 2014, Lally objected to the jury seeing those photos. Judge Cannone sustained.

I remind you that a man was found deceased on Brian Albert's lawn, and NOBODY in his home at the time was ever investigated. The home was never SEARCHED. The corruption is *_staring you in the face!_*
You even watch this or just spewing non facts?.
Sounds like you're in the clan 😂
It's most likely that she accidently hit him and didn't realize it, went home and sobered up some and realized he wasn't there and probably faintly remembered hitting something and put two and two together. She was definitely drunk.... She was supposed to go to the after party too, so they probably did argue and that is why she didn't bc otherwise why wouldn't he just go home with his gf who didn't feel well .. During a bag snow storm and how did they expect him to get home... As far as I heard they had never been to that house before and there was some animosity between John and some of the ppl there I think. I LOVE a conspiracy theory and they are doing a good job trying to push that narrative but I really can't believe all the people in the house and the investigators are covering up his death, that's not likely at all. One or two possibly but not all these ppl
I agree. I think she killed him by hitting him with the car. Whether it was on purpose or not I'm not sure. I think she will be found guilty of the manslaughter while drunk
It still makes no sense why they would rehome the family dog, sold the house and did renovation at home after his death
@MonaMona-cn5zw you assume those are related. The dog bit someone and had to be removed. They probably sold the house to get away from what happened.
Good thing they have to prove it with actual evidence and we don't go on things we find unbelievable.
@MonaMona-cn5zw
The dog was rehomed bc got into a fight with another dog. The house was listed for sale before this incident.
1:26:21 imagine being a juror sitting there looking forward - and you can see the Defense attorney giving the opening remarks, the slimeball lawyer Alan Jackson glowing from his fake tan, Karen Read and her pouty faces, and John O'Keefe 's entire grieving family - all without having to move or turn your head!!
That's so unusual and I would have said it would have been a potential appellate issue for the Defense if they lose .. except they're the ones who requested the smaller courtroom ha ha ha !!
Guilty
This comment won't age well.
Are we talking about Trooper Proctor's illegal search of the cell phone?
You must but one of the people that were at the party.
@@ApplePie.. Too bad
@@ApplePie..aging even worse
Now this is an opening statement, kudos to the Defense! You hit is on the nail, she was framed!
