      I think it's possible they were all so smashed that nobody really knows what happened to John. Except that something happened. And in a cops yard. And potentially with alcohol and a vehicle. They all are covering up because they all know they might have had something to do with it and feel some kind of guilt. Except for the one person who was least likely to do it, but isn't one of them.

    One of the multitude of things in this trial that really burns my biscuits is the texts about the kids. Those texts did not need to be read in open court where those kids will hear it 😢there could have been a different way. Also, most people that have kids often say they wish they had more private time together. People who have never had kids and suddenly are basically a co-parent probably do have some frustration, anger, etc but that doesn't mean they don't care for or even love the kids. It just means their life changed, it's probably more chaotic than they expected and they miss the abundance of one on one time with their partner. All valid feelings that the kids do not need to know about.

      I thought that Jackson was being an absolute idiot when he kept asking questions about the "play fighting" that Higgins was doing at the pub, but after yesterday it all makes crystal clear sense. Brian was asking his friend for "moves" to intimidate John and to peacock his manliness to Karen. He and John eventually had words which lead to Brian texting John and asking if he was coming to the house party. John went, Karen didn't. The black eyes, the scratches? Not a car, but Brian Higgins, as well as possible assistance from Chloe the Dog and "big man" Colin Albert (who btw the internet found a video of him fighting someone, so he lied on the stand about never being in a physical fight, wonder why...)

    If the relationship was on the rocks or over entirely, there’s nothing stopping her from leaving. They aren’t even married. Why on earth would she kill him? Especially since she was already interested in hooking up with someone else? She apparently has money and another house, so money wasn’t the motive. This whole business with the texts just kind of suggests someone else did it.

      @@primalcritters I literally saw a tweet last night where someone commented on the texts and said "I wonder if all of the Karen fans are shocked to learn that not a hero she's just a slut" or something like that. So ridiculous. I could care less if she cheated via some flirting and a peck, it's clear that their relationship was coming to and end and at the end of the day, cheating is a bad defense mechanism that you should encourage people to overcome, it's not a crime that you should slut-shame people for. And it doesn't get rid of any of the actual evidence that we've seen - we have evidence that the McCabes and Alberts and Higgins covered up a crime, and we have evidence that Karen Read was jealous one night and then, after getting called crazy by her boyfriend, flirted with someone else via text... the horror.

    Side note / semi-thought-out-observation: whenever I hear about US cops dying, whether while on duty or not, it seems like that's a big deal and is handled with a special level of respect and dignity.. and any investigations into their deaths are prioritised (hard to find the right words to describe what I mean, but you know, they take it as seriously as it can get, being one of their own).
    I don't get that feeling at all here. It's like the opposite was done investigation wise, and all the witnesses for the prosecution are testifying against Karen as if they know for certain she is responsible. How would they know if nobody saw it, and they all heard different variations of what is being portrayed as a confession?

      @shannongriswold8060 21 день тому

      So true. I’ve heard this mentality called, “back the blue” or “blue line” or “brothers in blue.” All of our police officers in the US have dark blue uniforms. When it’s said to “don’t cross the blue line,” that means police officers don’t snitch on other police officers, they backup and support their own no matter what. Which is one of the many reasons we have such a massive problem with police corruption because the good guys keep their mouth shut, move stations, or become corrupt themselves. Police officers are also referred to as a brotherhood and so when something happens to a fellow police officer it becomes highest priority, like something personally happening to your immediate family. Police respond in high numbers to emergency situations which involve a fellow officer being injured or killed. Mentality amongst police in the US is to protect their own above all else.
      With this case, something happened in that house that created a situation that these two police families decided to cover for someone or multiple people. Fellow police officers also backed the blue line, not the victim, but the living fellow officers because they have some involvement in the death of JO. There is so much missing information, missing videos, destroyed phones, butt dials, corroborated stories, etc. It definitely looks like a corruption case and many police were involved. Rarely does this see the light of day which is why I believe many our so enthralled with this case. We’re all hoping for justice and exposure of all the corruption.

Not only are they testifying to this but they don't seem ashamed at all.
    If I so much as think about drinking anything I refuse to drive for at least 8 hours. I don't think that's a much to ask, really. If I, an ordinary schmo who's not a member of law enforcement, can manage to follow a simple rule like that why the hell can't the police or a member of the ATF?
