    Sadly the family are split with this prosecution. Mr O'Keffe asked if he could sit on Karen Read's side but wasn't allowed. There was a bitter custody battle between John O'Keffe and his mother for the children and she's with the State. There seems to be a lot of jealousy about the relationship and with the compromised evidence, especially the DNA, the trooper looking for nudes, wishing KR would unalive herself and having conference calls with the witnesses in the house. The judge having connection to the Albert family and refusing to recuse herself. The DA making a landmark press statement processing the Albert families innocence, telling the world about the Colin Albert theory, which is currently being used in Law Schools as a "how not to pervert the judicial system"The FBI and Attorney General investigation of the case, the trooper, the DA and the judge its just pointing to a frame up for me and i honestly can't believe this ever came to trial.
    Edit to say with the quality of the defence team i seriously doubt they'd risk not bringing receipts and evidence if they don't have it and they seem to scoring high so far and theres so much more to come.

Luckily due to her breed she has a short snout and a weak bite so there really isn't any damage but if she was a large breed like a GSD it could be disasterous. If they started play fighting in front of a large reactive dog it could very well trigger that dog to attack them.

      Add the element that one is a trained MMA fighter and there's a possibility of jealousy of the relationship between KR, Officer O'Keffe and Higgins. Higgins text KR when they walk into the Waterfall something like "Mmmmmmkay okay????" and Higgins and McCabe both text O'Keffe several times to make sure he was coming to the party. The evidence is compromised, especially any DNA with the wonderful blower and solo cups, the "one stop" evidence bag near the SUV taillight, it's unbelievable how badly they investigate the death of a fellow officer, something I've never heard of before. There's too much reasonable doubt for me already to convict Karen Read.

    • @sallycinnamon5370
      @sallycinnamon5370 2 місяці тому +13

      To be fair they had 4 witnesses that said they heard it. Problem is that they all have conflicting stories about why and when she said it. The cop changed his statement and didn’t initially remember it until a EMT said they heard it despite having written a report day of. The female EMT said it was in front of an officer that followed up the question right before she went into the ambulance and SHE told the team in there. The two medics each said that she said it to them while they were either first assessing the patient and they asked or while they were walking up when they asked.
      If they can’t remember the situation that elicited the statement I am not going to believe them about the exact wording. Probably at least one of them heard something…but I don’t think we’ll ever be able to be sure of what.
      Sounds like it’s a story that has been talked about in their fire station constantly…I think the EMT’s memories are all tainted by that fact.

    I don't like this Judge not saying why she allows or strikes an objection! Leaves way too much misunderstanding with any Appeal!

    Why did they even call all these witnesses. They hurt their case by substantiation the friends liked Karen and they had a good relationship.
