Is there enough reasonable doubt yet? More than enough IMO. Just dismiss the case on the defences motion when they file it and FKR, save some face for the CW and stop wasting the tax payers money. This case is a shameful representation of the American "justice" system, and the world is watching. Thanks Peter for your commentry
9 of the 12 jurors did not believe there was reasonable doubt. The other 3 were part of the FKR movement (so not exactly the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree). I can not believe some people still believe TurdleBoy and this absolute joke of a wild-ass conspiracy that supposedly involves over 25 people to murder a fellow cop. A cop whom by they way they all love. The O'Keefe's invited these supposed dirty cops INTO THE COURTROOM to sit with them. How does a dog bite without leaving DNA and has teeth on only one side of it's mouth and there are ZERO puncture wounds? Cops conspire to beat him up then toss him on the lawn still alive. Trick Karen into taking the blame. Smash a tail light not knowing Karen hit John's car with her tail light. They put a drink glass in his hand (not a Bud Light bottle). Somehow plant microscopic tail light fragments in his clothes. Further shatter her tail light because the initial damage wasn't enough. Plant his DNA and hair on the back of her car. How the F do people still believe this shit??? It is so freaking bizarre.
Deff if they get a fair jury and the judge allows the jury to hear the shady stuff no jury is going convict ...I'm just scared one hold out will make a 3rd trial
Of course it's more than enough reasonable doubt. There is a reason why the cw is trying so hard to exclude evidence. They believe it's enough to assert something, convince a jury, evidence be damned
I agreed 100% about AJ! He is everything someone would want in any attorney, (Defense Attorney, District Attorney, Prosecutor, Common Weath, etc.). He argues for legal integrity. I love that about him!
@@Mike-og3xb You're missing the part where his body did a 720 ballerina pirouette, landed 30 feet away, and the judges gave it 9, 9, and a 10. Get real.

The Read FANATICS need to keep DONATING. Jackson will not fly Economy on those flights from LA. You have to give till it hurts. Get a loan if necessary. The Innocence Fraud Campaign can not go on without you.
Peter, EDB said that even if investigators knew and never told the commonwealth that it is still Brady. That they’re all ONE and if someone doesn’t tell or share it doesn’t matter.
Absolutely…the prosecutor assumes the burden of all the law enforcement agencies involved in the prosecution of KR. Their mistakes become his liability. This case should’ve been dismissed a long time ago. She should never have been indicted imo.
Why didn’t the judge dig into where the footage has come from and how it just appeared? And not just let cops get away with “it appeared on my desk in this form”.
Judge Bev does the minimum amount of work possible. Never rules from the bench. Even when she ruled in the Penny McGee bench trial the other day, there was no speech. No reasoning. Just a quick "I find you not guilty".
Nobody knows. Either biased or protecting her crooked townie friends. She was successfully appealed twice before the first trial and now Karen Read has another post trial appeal pending. Ironically one of her first pretrial appeals was about a preservation order she denied. The SJC overturned her ruling and gently slapped her wrist. So she knows full well there was an evidence preservation order. There's no way she would have forgotten that.
My questions are who is this retired sgt? Why did he store evidence in a murder trial, (muder of a serving cop) on a cloud? Who had access to this cloud. When did the cuts of this happen and by who? Who decided what would be shown and what would not? How was this evidence secured from tampering? How could any defence be sure this evidence with no chain of custody has not been tampered with? To me this alone asks more questions than it will ever answer. Par for the course with all evidence in this case.
exactly...there are so so many instances like this, it's almost like it makes it no big deal. countless shenanigans, so many no one can even keep track it's SICK
It’s absurd from start to finish. Without a chain of custody there should be no basis for a legitimate case. Police have a responsibility to follow protocol.
@ Why when the inverted vid came to light did Lally fail to ask where it came from, is there more and why didnt Bev ask the same instead of just sitting on her chair rocking and sighing I will allow it. No reason given.
@emileeleewolfe4192 different preservation order At Karen's arraignment back in Feb 2022, Yanetti requested from the presiding judge (not Bev) for all evidence to be preserved. The judge granted the motion, while responding that it goes without saying the CW _must_ preserve all evidence. Bev denied the preservation order for Higgins and Brian Albert's phones. Which is interesting btw, because when she denied that motion, the defense didn't have the video of Higgins on the phone at Canton pd. Higgins told the federal grand jury that he didn't make any calls that night, so he lied. Bev may have ruled differently, had all of the video evidence been produced prior to the initial trial.
@@justkim9827so: - Defense is granted order for the CW to preserve all evidence (as if that’s even necessary because it’s their inherent duty to do so anyway) - CW hides video evidence of Higgins on his phone - Defense is denied motion to preserve Higgins phone because there is no evidence of his phone being relevant - Higgins destroys his phone - CW magically produces video three years later which would have given grounds to preserve the phone - Bev denies motion to dismiss based on gross misconduct by the CW (this hasn’t happened yet but…let’s be real here) this case is ASTOUNDING
This trial is making me want to pull my hair out. Not sure what that accomplishes. Its just that kind of reaction. What if the majority of criminal cases in the US were handled this poorly? This is the opposite of justice.
KR admitted her guilt. Told Kerry that John was dead BEFORE the 3 ladies went to Alberts property. Also right after this happened she told Yannetti she didn't think she hit HIM that hard. I hope this jury finds her guilty and intentional.
It’s not surprising they brought in another prosecutor because it makes it easier for the CW when he can act like it’s not his fault that all this stuff is happening. Lally should be up for some sort of repercussions over all this stuff that is surfacing…doesn’t it seem?
For me the kicker is the logs. Fine, the video is gone, deleted by default. Why are the logs that would show that also gone? The logs that would show exactly who, what, and when the videos were touched are also gone? Logs are text files, there is absolutely no reason for those to be gone.
Nah they just thought she'd plead out. When she didn't plead to something she didn't do when they 1st pressed charges, the corrupt DA decided to up the charges to second degree murder a few months later. She didn't plead out then either so here we are. Oh I hope we get to see the repercussions in full force and the true culprits brought to actual justice eventually.... With Karen becoming a millionaire after the numerous lawsuits she will file.
@@autumncitie I think they have played dumb this whole time and being retards. Once she didn’t plea out they literally keep every piece of evidence they can out until the defense somehow finds out about it and raises hell. If I were defense I would call lally to stand but I don’t think they can unless prosecution does first but shit they don’t dare to do that because lally would be 🔥 up like 🎄 tree. They don’t want that smoke
@@InLieuTubeI went to an empty parking lot by my house after the first trial and tried to get up to 24 mph.. I could not do it. It was scary. The highest I got was like 15ish. I really don’t think she could have done it. A cop with a vendetta could though.
ALL evidence should have been persevered regardless of the prosecutor in charge. If the defense can't access it to combat the prosecution it should be excluded. The jury is going to hate this dude.
The problem is the Defense is gaslighting the gullible FKR cult members to believe a video of Brian Higgins outside in a parking lot on the phone is evidence. It is not. So, ANY video that does not show a crime being committed is not evidence. The Defense can't PROVE that video is anything more than a vehicle that was pulled into a police garage or a man standing outside on the phone. The FBI conducted a VERY expensive Public Corruption investigation and came up with inappropriate texts. Yanetti is proven to be untruthful by using simple logic. If he ACTUALLY had a source tell him in Feb 2022 that the crime occurred inside 34 Fairview by cops, what did he do with that information? He didn't immediately obtain ALL Police Held Video. He didn't immediately send his private investigator out to the neighborhood looking for home surveillance video. He didn't immediately contact the Mass Attorney General to open a Police Corruption investigation. Simple logic proves the Defense Team are a bunch of liars willing to say or do ANYTHING to get their guilty client off.
Remember that even with Lally doing the case the majority of jurors wanted to convict KR. Let that sink in. There is a very real possibility KR is going to jail for a long time, no matter how absurd this case is. Most jurors just gobble up whatever mess the DA tells them.
@hkr667 Well it appears 2 of the charges they agreed she was not guilty of so even though yes of course she does face that possibility I also strongly believe that in round 2 the defense will be able to make sure there is even more reasonable doubt. Unless the commonwealth can show some sort of smoking gun they are going to have a hard time convincing a jury. But seeing how badly some of their experts presented in the first trial surely they will find better ones so at the end of the day there is a chance but if I had to bet the farm my money is on Karen.
Personal icloud accounts are subject to FOIA, when they retain government records & are not privacy protected. (I'm surprised they didn't try that excuse lol)
Even if both lawyers had doubts about whether there would still be video on it, when Brennen asked the Chief, can the defense come down and download all the video on the DVR for Jan 29, 2022, the Chief SHOULD have known that the file was over-written and told them it was over written and nothing would be there.
She knew. She didn't care. She's a corrupt pos along with the rest of them. Last year she tried to hide the fact that she hit a man in the crosswalk with her car. She wasn't drunk at least, but come on.
In the Baldwin case, the Judge held Kari Morrissey accountable because there was an assumption that the prosecution knew everything that the investigators knew, even if she never saw those bullets for herself. Shouldn't this happen here with Brennan/Lally and the cops in this case who would've known what was going on with the DVR and the video?
The Baldwin Brady violation was not about Morrissey not seeing the bullets for herself. She 100% knew about those bullets and she 100% saw the photos of them. She 1. agreed that those would be put under a different case number and 2. never shared those photos with the defense. Morrissey argued that the photos were not relevant for the case (and in theory she might very well have been right) but as the prosecutor she should know and was expected by the judge to know that she should have shared them with defense. Morrissey is not the person that got to decide what was relevant and/or exculpatory. That is why the case was dismissed. Morrissey never argued that she didn't know it existed.
@ She did claim she'd never seen the bullets and just assumed they weren't important, but also part of the the whole problem was that it didn't matter if Kari actually knew or not, it was presumed she knew or should have known about anything that was in possession of the state.
We are learning in Norfolk county they can do whatever they want. They can drag a woman through 2 trials with her life and freedom on the line even when they don’t follow any procedures
This is such a big case. The CW was responsible for keeping the files and videos. I feel they were never going to hand the Sallyport video over. It was obvious it was tampered with. That is why they could never hand over the actual video.
I was shocked that the first trail jury totally ignored this... imo the case should have been move out of Canton due to the influence the McAlberts had on the community.
The jury should have came back with not guilty after that inverted sallyport video. Clearly LE tampered with evidence that was being presented to the jurors!
He is amazing but yet judge bev shady self will deny this motion the very next day based on brennan saying we told AJ it might not be there so we're off the hook
He is a WELL PAID Sleazy Defense Attorney that will do anything to get a client off. No wonder his Practice is in Los Angeles, probably the best place to find HIS TYPE of client.
"What exists on his hard drive, in the detective file, I don't know" -Brennan. This is pure B.S. after 2-years and many issues with regards to this video, they claim not to know what they have in their possession? Ridiculous!
Seriously! Idk why she couldn't give AJ the weekend to work on the motion, it's not like Bev would have to be reading it at the same time . She could still have her weekend. I really can't stand that woman. Most of the time she acts like she would rather be anywhere else. Seems like being a judge is more of merely a paycheck for Bev, rather than a passion for the law or justice.
the argument that he (Hank) never made promises about what was on it is moot. It should be presumed that something is stored, because that is the duty of the prosecutor, and additionally there was a preservation request. I think the CW should pay.
Not sure why Jackson didn't go into more detail re: the pre-visit discussions with Colleen, the expert, and Brennan, but I find it hard to believe that he would waste Karen's money like this, as well as lie and expect to recoop her money. I don't think he would have sent the expert there without being told what he wanted was there. They don't have money to waste. Brennan on the other hand, seems to lie very easily, he lied about no preservation order when there verifiably is one. I don't believe Brennan. And the CW seems all too willing to spend all the money they want on prosecuting weak and bizarre cases
I like that she continues to pretend there’s nothing wrong. It fits with all the evidence tampering, destruction of and butt dials in this case. That’s why we question her actions. Remember she’s responsible for her behavior and we’re all watching and judging her.
I HATE when they have "a policy" to destroy the video or audio recordings of interviews after writing a report. The problem is the the report is essentially yellow journalism since they will write the report based on on their perception of the facts.
I don’t understand why this case has not yet been thrown out. Time after time we see the state is not forthcoming and drags their feet. How interesting how some of the video is available but not ALL of it. Cmon Judge cannelloni, do the right thing and JUDGE AND RULE THIS AS A DISMISSAL!!
It's so RIDICULOUS THAT THE PROSECUTION IS STILL TRYING TO PROSECUTE KAREN REED FOR THE DEATH OF JOHN O'KEEFE IS F'NNNN LAUGHABLE & I THINK SO EMBARRASSING FOR THE TOWN OF CANTON.. ITS LIKE THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT THAT THEY'RE WRONG!!!!! THEY ARE INCOMPETENT AND THEY SHOULD ALL BE IN JAIL FOR CONTEMPT... THRY LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF DUMMIES, LYING DIRTY DUMMIES.. THE TOWN OF CANTON LOOK LIKE THEY ALL GOT THEY'RE LAW LICENSE S IN A CRACKER JACK BOX!!!! HELLOOOO WHATS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE THERE??? O MEAN THE WHOLE WORLD IS THINKING THIS ... EVERY DAY THAT GOES BY THEY LOOK DUMBER AND DUMBER HOW CAN THIS BE REAL??????!!!! EVEN
Speaking to the preservation of evidence, wouldn't it be standard procedure for the PD to preserve all evidence pertaining to chain of evidence when they are indighting and alleging that the car is a murder weapon.
Why was CPD left with all the evidence? Why was "murder weapon" blood/dna left in CPd sally port? Why was video footage not removed from CPD immediately? They were recused for conflict of interest for a reason.MSP should be in trouble for this in my opinion. They took over case immediately so everything should have been removed immediately. I don't get how this isn't the biggest issue being argued.
Great content as always Peter! Seems like the bombshell is Agent Higgins 1:35 am call on the newly released video from the Commonwealth - hits just keep on coming to the Commonwealth’s case - big question if there is more exculpatory video from Canton PD…
@@bjcbren2Comm turned over enough clip from the Canton PD sallyport video post 1st trial in Fall 2024 which shows Agent Higgins on his cell around 1:35 am outside the sallyport - could have been a basis for the defense to obtain Agent Higgins phone records during the 1st trial
Maybe the reason Breenan was so accommodating was he knew nothing was there. How can the CW be prosecuting someone for murder and not know where and what video was available.
Interesting enough, my employer does storage preservation of emails, phone calls, video, etc for corporations and municipal governments. This is a big piece of the business we’re looking to acquire in 2025 all because I started talking about watching trials and preservation being an issue for gov’ts.
@LawyerYouKnow you read the comment about The Young Jurks and the sally port video right at the end of this stream. But it felt like you didn’t get the significance of that comment it wasn’t me who commented. The Young Jurks had an interview with someone who is highly experienced with the software and hardware that is used in the sally port. It is a very good and scientific explanation of how all the video stuff works and how she believes it might potentially prove manipulation of the videos. I really hope you see this comment and check it out. If she is correct there are massive problems that need explanation by the commonwealth. Thank you for your videos.
My mouth dropped open when the Prosecutor admitted there was a backup drive. It appears that the defense never had access to that drive. Its even possible that a backup drive still has meta data on it. If there is an iCloud backup of the footage, why has the prosecution not turned it over? It would be impossible to verify its authenticity but at least they would have it.
Yanetti got a preservation order granted in Feb 2022 at Karen's first hearing them he filed motion to renew previous motions and Oct 3rd 2022 Judge Bev denied it? He then motioned to have reconsideration of renewing the prior granted motions and they can't can't find Bev's ruling anywhere .I don't get how she can deny an order already granted by another judge though?I'm wondering if she's realising what she may have done and the stuff that may come with that decision she originally took now , especially with the case at the critical point it's at and this seriously involves her decisions incorrectly made at that point ? Wonder if could be any possible repercussions for her by way of what's been done at all?
I think the confusion is that there were 2 different preservation orders. Yanetti made the one in 2022 in front of the other judge for all evidence to be preserved. It was granted, and the Judge said something like "it should go without saying, but I will grant it" The preservation order that Bev denied was the rule 14 motion from the defense for Higgins and Albert to preserve their phones. She called it a "fishing expedition". If the CW had produced the video of Higgins in the CPD parking lot at 130am on the night in question, on the phone, perhaps the defense could have argued that it was in fact NOT a fishing expedition, because Higgins lied about calling anyone that night after leaving Fairview. I doubt Bev will face any repercussions for her bias thanks to judicial immunity and all that bs. That said, as a tax-paying MA resident, I wish Bev would just retire. Corruption aside, she seems to have no passion for law or justice. She acts like she would rather be anywhere else in the world, with all her sighing, chair rocking, eyeglass swinging, etc - it's just a bad look.
Brennan said: "I began a study of the case and tried to articulate and account for all evidence and make sure the defence obtained everything they were entitled to and more" There is no "and more". The defense is entitled to EVERYTHING the prosecution has. He can't have more than that as it should have already been part of the case or that would have been a brady violation. Then Brennan goes on to say "there is no brady violation" while waving a huge flag saying "here is the evidence of the brady violation". This trial shouldn't be delayed, it should be dismissed completely. There can be no fair trial when the government has been proven to have either wilfully destroyed exculpatory evidence, or at the very least, not preserved evidence they knew SHOULD have been preserved. As soon as the defense told them they wanted it preserved, the police department should have removed the Hard Drive from the CCTV system and put it away in a sealed antistatic bag, surrounded by 4 inches of packing and kept away from anything that could cause damage. The drive should have been cloned by an outside agency for safekeeping and a copy given to both the defence and the prosecution. How can they not have rules and procedures for this very event?
The UA-cam lawyers act like they’ve never encountered corruption! Peter approved of judge Cannone suggesting the defense get altered video from the prosecution. Where is the smack down on the prosecution for altering and withholding the video?! The UA-cam lawyers are like “Brennan said the video might not be there, so AJ was taking a chance.” What?! If there are two children and one child first destroys the other child’s new toy, and then hides it, most fair minded parents would put the thief in time out. The diplomacy the UA-cam lawyers employ while “analyzing” the trials and motions looks to me like a lack of discernment. Which basically means opportunism. They just do what’s easy and collect money. So that’s not expert analysis at all. Not very good. I object!
I saw a video several months ago where someone did a timeline that showed the CW failed to turn over half a dozen things that the defense requested. Many of them had been requested up to two years before the trial even started and were never handed over..
*MY UNCLE WAS IN THE SAME PRISON WITH DARYL BROOKS! HE SAID THE FIRST WEEK THEY SENT HIM TO GEN POP, HE WAS JUMPED, BEATEN UNCONSCIOUS, AND SA’D. MY UNCLE SAID THEY SHIPPED HIM OFF TO ADX!!! NO OUTSIDE CONTACT EVER AGAIN FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE!*
The arguments in this hearing need to be looked at together with the broader pattern of dishonest behavior by law enforcement. In weighing whether this was an intentional Brady violation or just some kind of minor clerical oversight, it's reasonable to ask if this is a single episode or one of many. Trying to dodge the obvious malfeasance by nitpicking the wording of the defense's request is itself dishonest.
It baffles me at how many in MA, (though admittedly haven’t really watched the case; only 6:00 news headlines) still think she did it, albeit accidentally. I was so disappointed in them. One former LEO I know, knew I knew what I was talking about as I threw out names, facts, etc. Still, they tried to put a spin on it but I’ve known them too long and too well for me to believe, in my opinion, that they know I’m right but they wouldn’t dare agree with me.
Ok, maybe the Prosecution didn't have to "allow" the defenses expert coming to get a copy of the "raw" video. However, he DID and the fact everything is piece mealed and still trickling in is proof that something is not quite up to snuff.
It's so hard to imagine that this case is going to start April 1, particulary since the supreme judicial court (SJC) hasn't even ruled on the jury issue from the last trial where several jurors said they had all acquitted Karen Read on several charges but didn't understand the jury forms. That seems like a huge impediment to starting this trial on time, and once again, Bev is just trying to rush everyone through, not giving the defense adequate time to prepare their dismissal motion because the CW just dumped a boatload of new information on them. Plus, there are now all these Brady violations discussed today that need to be resolved. Why the rush, Bev? She is one of the reasons for all the delays because she kept granting CW's requests for Daubert hearings on defense experts, knowing she had already approved these witnesses for the first trial, thus wasting everyone's time and money. And, how about all her delays in making rulings after motions and hearings which are generally not even professionally done, but rather she just scribbles something in pen on the bottom of a motion with no expediency for time whatsoever. What if the SJC says she must bring all jurors back from the first trial and question them, and why is the SJC taking so long to make their ruling. It all just boggles the mind.
@@bjcbren2 Good question, but I don't know. We all have to remember that the first priority is getting through this second persecution trial, and if she's found not guilty, she then has to deal with the civil suit filed against her by the O'Keefe family which is pending the result of this criminal trial, and she can probably also start her own civil trial. If this criminal trial winds up in another mistrial, who knows what the CW will do? Will they proceed to a third persecution of her? Time will tell.
Brennan needs to get over himself. He may have not been a part of the holding back of Brady material however the commonwealth was and right now, he is representing the commonwealth so suck it up buttercup.
This case drives me nuts. Didn’t the CW expert say she couldn’t conclude O’Keefe was struck by a car? Reasonable doubt. Throw this case out, Judge Bev!
If they are still producing new video as of today, it has to be somewhere. The expert was told no one knew where the info was and it had been provided to the defense. That was a lie. They should get the money.
Its understood at discovery that if you have it give it early if you can. The Bailliff should have had the evidence packages ready to distribute to the parties at arraignment such that everyone was up to speed on the case.
Even if the video copies are on the retired detective’s account, it’s unlikely they will be able to authenticate it in that form. This entire case is such a 💩 show
If your a defendant who is in a case such as this, and you run up a large bill above what your attorney fees are, but your found not guilty, does the state pay for your defense?
I hear Brennan say things like “I want them to get everything they need and even things they don’t get to have” and “I have looked through the entire file”… but then find out there is MORE that even HE doesn’t know about because he didn’t look at this(knowing that there was some kind of download). That sounds a bit sus to me… is he not looking because he knows it’ll be bad? Is it something they didn’t tell him about and he’s learning as they go? Either way, it is a bad look no matter what side you land on with guilty/not guilty for the commonwealth-and they never looked great to start with.
The defense is making sure all arguments are available for use during any appeal. If the Appeals Court decides there was a Brady violation, the Defense wants basically all evidence to be suppressed or the entire case dismissed with prejudice. One thing is that Higgens' testimony should not only not be available because the phone information was not turned over to the defense, and since the phone was wiped after evidence that Higgens lied under oath (committec Felony Perjury) came to light, the defense must be allowed to argue that the phone contained a confession that Higgens conspired to frame Read (knowing destruction of evidence means that in court, the missing evidence can be assumed to be the worst possible thing for the destroyer).
Don’t understand Peter how could Brennan be assuming recused CPD was on the up and up on the video evidence. Did he really think this evidence wasn’t going to a major factor in a 2nd trial?
Is there enough reasonable doubt yet? More than enough IMO. Just dismiss the case on the defences motion when they file it and FKR, save some face for the CW and stop wasting the tax payers money. This case is a shameful representation of the American "justice" system, and the world is watching. Thanks Peter for your commentry

Absolutely…the prosecutor assumes the burden of all the law enforcement agencies involved in the prosecution of KR. Their mistakes become his liability. This case should’ve been dismissed a long time ago. She should never have been indicted imo.
@@cathbooth1980agreed.
Why didn’t the judge dig into where the footage has come from and how it just appeared? And not just let cops get away with “it appeared on my desk in this form”.
Judge Bev does the minimum amount of work possible.
Never rules from the bench. Even when she ruled in the Penny McGee bench trial the other day, there was no speech. No reasoning. Just a quick "I find you not guilty".
Nobody knows. Either biased or protecting her crooked townie friends. She was successfully appealed twice before the first trial and now Karen Read has another post trial appeal pending.
Ironically one of her first pretrial appeals was about a preservation order she denied. The SJC overturned her ruling and gently slapped her wrist.
So she knows full well there was an evidence preservation order. There's no way she would have forgotten that.
Because she looks the other way. Like why didn’t she poll the jury or fix the confusing jury form?
She doesn't want to know. It's all about what you can prove someone "knows" especially, in the legal field.
Corrupt DIRTY judge through and through.
My questions are who is this retired sgt? Why did he store evidence in a murder trial, (muder of a serving cop) on a cloud? Who had access to this cloud. When did the cuts of this happen and by who? Who decided what would be shown and what would not? How was this evidence secured from tampering? How could any defence be sure this evidence with no chain of custody has not been tampered with? To me this alone asks more questions than it will ever answer. Par for the course with all evidence in this case.
exactly...there are so so many instances like this, it's almost like it makes it no big deal. countless shenanigans, so many no one can even keep track it's SICK
Is he a McAlbert?
It’s absurd from start to finish. Without a chain of custody there should be no basis for a legitimate case. Police have a responsibility to follow protocol.
At the February 2, 2022 hearing Attorney Yanetti requested the information be kept. Why didn't the CW put a legal hold on the videos, etc
@ Why when the inverted vid came to light did Lally fail to ask where it came from, is there more and why didnt Bev ask the same instead of just sitting on her chair rocking and sighing I will allow it. No reason given.
ALL VIDEOS with active and open cases should never be purged for ANY REASON.
There was a preservation order requested by Yanetti at her initial arraignment and it was signed by the judge. There is video of it.
She denied it, if you're talking about the preservation order.
@emileeleewolfe4192 different preservation order
At Karen's arraignment back in Feb 2022, Yanetti requested from the presiding judge (not Bev) for all evidence to be preserved. The judge granted the motion, while responding that it goes without saying the CW _must_ preserve all evidence.
Bev denied the preservation order for Higgins and Brian Albert's phones. Which is interesting btw, because when she denied that motion, the defense didn't have the video of Higgins on the phone at Canton pd. Higgins told the federal grand jury that he didn't make any calls that night, so he lied. Bev may have ruled differently, had all of the video evidence been produced prior to the initial trial.
@justkim9827 thank you!!! I understand now about all the confusion over it. This case makes me crazy! I catch myself shouting at my phone!
No that was when she took it over they got the order from lower court to save it the day she is ws first arrested @@emileeleewolfe4192
@@justkim9827so:
- Defense is granted order for the CW to preserve all evidence (as if that’s even necessary because it’s their inherent duty to do so anyway)
- CW hides video evidence of Higgins on his phone
- Defense is denied motion to preserve Higgins phone because there is no evidence of his phone being relevant
- Higgins destroys his phone
- CW magically produces video three years later which would have given grounds to preserve the phone
- Bev denies motion to dismiss based on gross misconduct by the CW (this hasn’t happened yet but…let’s be real here)
this case is ASTOUNDING
This trial is making me want to pull my hair out. Not sure what that accomplishes. Its just that kind of reaction.
What if the majority of criminal cases in the US were handled this poorly? This is the opposite of justice.
Wasn’t the Alec Baldwin case thrown out on lesser infractions ? The fact that this case hasn’t been dismissed yet is mind boggling.
Hollywood connections?
Yes, I think Brennan is in a pickle as they say.
Right?!?!?! That's exactly what I keep thinking.
This case should never have made it to trial. How do the police get away with such an incomplete and half-a55ed investigation?
KR admitted her guilt. Told Kerry that John was dead BEFORE the 3 ladies went to Alberts property. Also right after this happened she told Yannetti she didn't think she hit HIM that hard. I hope this jury finds her guilty and intentional.
It’s not surprising they brought in another prosecutor because it makes it easier for the CW when he can act like it’s not his fault that all this stuff is happening. Lally should be up for some sort of repercussions over all this stuff that is surfacing…doesn’t it seem?
Exactly why they did it so he can act like he knows nothing and is still getting yo to speed almost a year later
Well, it seems like Brennan might have a personal connection to the Alberts as well. Is that why he took the case at a discount?? It’s amazing
For me the kicker is the logs. Fine, the video is gone, deleted by default. Why are the logs that would show that also gone? The logs that would show exactly who, what, and when the videos were touched are also gone? Logs are text files, there is absolutely no reason for those to be gone.
On replay & I LOVE watching Alan Jackson, Esq. argue in Court! He's a boss.
My exact thoughts!! Alan Jackson is a great lawyer.
I think his time in Hollyweird has paid off. Love his dramatic overtones :)
"Brady violation" immediately takes me to Baldwin trial.
Makes me think that somebody took advantage of Marcia.
Too bad this judge is leaps and bounds below the Baldwin judge when it comes to judicial fairness
It's almost as if the CW believed KR would be found guilty the first time so they didn't turn over these new clips in anticipation of that
Nah they just thought she'd plead out. When she didn't plead to something she didn't do when they 1st pressed charges, the corrupt DA decided to up the charges to second degree murder a few months later. She didn't plead out then either so here we are. Oh I hope we get to see the repercussions in full force and the true culprits brought to actual justice eventually.... With Karen becoming a millionaire after the numerous lawsuits she will file.
@@autumncitie I think they have played dumb this whole time and being retards. Once she didn’t plea out they literally keep every piece of evidence they can out until the defense somehow finds out about it and raises hell. If I were defense I would call lally to stand but I don’t think they can unless prosecution does first but shit they don’t dare to do that because lally would be 🔥 up like 🎄 tree. They don’t want that smoke
Agree with the first comment 💯. CW thought the jury would believe testimony of LE over experts & other evidence.
Oh come on !!!
skank is a lying liar and sold his soul! To the CW
Peter you don’t think they have enough to dismiss this case . Wow! So many attorneys do.
How can the new trial start when SJC hasn't ruled on whether the two charges should be dropped because of double jeopardy?
It can't. They have to proceed as planned but can't go to trial until sjc rules afaik
Sadly it came out today denied
@@cherylsiciliano869 2nd trial there is more evidence she is Not Guilty, and now her defense team is even stronger, we will see her free in 2025🙏
Are you really saying Lt Leafblower, Sgt.Solo-Cup, Chief Evidence Eye, the missing Lank and Detective Dude Where’s my Gun? Are overpaid?
Lmao 🤣
But seriously, they are grossly overpaid for incompetence.
How many jobs do you know of that would accept this type of incompetence?
Standing ovation, sir.
Don’t forget detective ballonknot. Shameless, the whole lot of them from the officers to the judge.
Thank you for covering and your feedback Peter
❓❓when and why was the lexus backed into the sallyport? and why driven out and back in again? and driven by who?
Yeah and was it backed up at 24 miles per hour?! (Like that particulate key cycle showed)?
Well and can you see the tail light?
@@InLieuTubeI went to an empty parking lot by my house after the first trial and tried to get up to 24 mph.. I could not do it. It was scary. The highest I got was like 15ish.
I really don’t think she could have done it. A cop with a vendetta could though.
ALL evidence should have been persevered regardless of the prosecutor in charge. If the defense can't access it to combat the prosecution it should be excluded. The jury is going to hate this dude.
For sure but in this case defence does want to have it during trial. To show and point out all the problems hopefully giving reasonable doubt.
It’s a murder charge too! It’s not petty theft or possession of grass. They kept it, they manipulated it! It is crazy
The problem is the Defense is gaslighting the gullible FKR cult members to believe a video of Brian Higgins outside in a parking lot on the phone is evidence. It is not. So, ANY video that does not show a crime being committed is not evidence. The Defense can't PROVE that video is anything more than a vehicle that was pulled into a police garage or a man standing outside on the phone. The FBI conducted a VERY expensive Public Corruption investigation and came up with inappropriate texts.
Yanetti is proven to be untruthful by using simple logic. If he ACTUALLY had a source tell him in Feb 2022 that the crime occurred inside 34 Fairview by cops, what did he do with that information? He didn't immediately obtain ALL Police Held Video. He didn't immediately send his private investigator out to the neighborhood looking for home surveillance video. He didn't immediately contact the Mass Attorney General to open a Police Corruption investigation. Simple logic proves the Defense Team are a bunch of liars willing to say or do ANYTHING to get their guilty client off.
Remember that even with Lally doing the case the majority of jurors wanted to convict KR. Let that sink in. There is a very real possibility KR is going to jail for a long time, no matter how absurd this case is. Most jurors just gobble up whatever mess the DA tells them.
@hkr667 Well it appears 2 of the charges they agreed she was not guilty of so even though yes of course she does face that possibility I also strongly believe that in round 2 the defense will be able to make sure there is even more reasonable doubt. Unless the commonwealth can show some sort of smoking gun they are going to have a hard time convincing a jury. But seeing how badly some of their experts presented in the first trial surely they will find better ones so at the end of the day there is a chance but if I had to bet the farm my money is on Karen.
Judge Bev: The trial will start on April 1st
Attorney Jackson: April Fools
The corruption is so bad that Canton PD can't afford a couple of 10 dollar thumb drives. 😢
Being in someone’s cloud account is a private account, not the same as being in Police custody
Personal icloud accounts are subject to FOIA, when they retain government records & are not privacy protected. (I'm surprised they didn't try that excuse lol)
Even if both lawyers had doubts about whether there would still be video on it, when Brennen asked the Chief, can the defense come down and download all the video on the DVR for Jan 29, 2022, the Chief SHOULD have known that the file was over-written and told them it was over written and nothing would be there.
She knew. She didn't care. She's a corrupt pos along with the rest of them. Last year she tried to hide the fact that she hit a man in the crosswalk with her car. She wasn't drunk at least, but come on.
I’m sure chief repartee or whoever that female chief is knew that the video had been downloaded. She is part of the conspiracy.
Exactly. Its disengenuous of Brennan, he's playing games here. Sicking.
In the Baldwin case, the Judge held Kari Morrissey accountable because there was an assumption that the prosecution knew everything that the investigators knew, even if she never saw those bullets for herself. Shouldn't this happen here with Brennan/Lally and the cops in this case who would've known what was going on with the DVR and the video?
Agree…EDB said even if the investigators knew and never told the commonwealth it’s still brady
The Baldwin Brady violation was not about Morrissey not seeing the bullets for herself. She 100% knew about those bullets and she 100% saw the photos of them. She 1. agreed that those would be put under a different case number and 2. never shared those photos with the defense. Morrissey argued that the photos were not relevant for the case (and in theory she might very well have been right) but as the prosecutor she should know and was expected by the judge to know that she should have shared them with defense. Morrissey is not the person that got to decide what was relevant and/or exculpatory. That is why the case was dismissed. Morrissey never argued that she didn't know it existed.
@ She did claim she'd never seen the bullets and just assumed they weren't important, but also part of the the whole problem was that it didn't matter if Kari actually knew or not, it was presumed she knew or should have known about anything that was in possession of the state.
We are learning in Norfolk county they can do whatever they want. They can drag a woman through 2 trials with her life and freedom on the line even when they don’t follow any procedures
This is such a big case. The CW was responsible for keeping the files and videos. I feel they were never going to hand the Sallyport video over. It was obvious it was tampered with. That is why they could never hand over the actual video.
If Baldwin got his trial dismissed on Brady there's no reason Read shouldn't have this trial dismissed when they are obviously hiding evidence
I was shocked that the first trail jury totally ignored this... imo the case should have been move out of Canton due to the influence the McAlberts had on the community.
The jury should have came back with not guilty after that inverted sallyport video. Clearly LE tampered with evidence that was being presented to the jurors!
AJ is so smooth…arguments roll off his tongue like butter…he makes the most complicated minutia seem so simplified.
He’s my absolute favorite to listen to. It’s as if he’s in a movie! Just a very solid and succinct way of delivering information.
He’s an amazing orator 😍
He is amazing but yet judge bev shady self will deny this motion the very next day based on brennan saying we told AJ it might not be there so we're off the hook
He is a WELL PAID Sleazy Defense Attorney that will do anything to get a client off. No wonder his Practice is in Los Angeles, probably the best place to find HIS TYPE of client.
"What exists on his hard drive, in the detective file, I don't know" -Brennan. This is pure B.S. after 2-years and many issues with regards to this video, they claim not to know what they have in their possession? Ridiculous!
Bev denied Karen her money back she’s infuriating
When did she roll on that? She did not rule on it at the hearing on the sixth.
@ more or less straight away she ruled on it after todays hearing
Please Alan Jackson knew it wasn't there lol
@ did you watch any pre trial hearings, because if you didn’t I suggest you do
bev has had 3 years of weekends to read the documents
Seriously! Idk why she couldn't give AJ the weekend to work on the motion, it's not like Bev would have to be reading it at the same time . She could still have her weekend.
I really can't stand that woman. Most of the time she acts like she would rather be anywhere else. Seems like being a judge is more of merely a paycheck for Bev, rather than a passion for the law or justice.
I agree!
the argument that he (Hank) never made promises about what was on it is moot. It should be presumed that something is stored, because that is the duty of the prosecutor, and additionally there was a preservation request. I think the CW should pay.
Not sure why Jackson didn't go into more detail re: the pre-visit discussions with Colleen, the expert, and Brennan, but I find it hard to believe that he would waste Karen's money like this, as well as lie and expect to recoop her money. I don't think he would have sent the expert there without being told what he wanted was there. They don't have money to waste. Brennan on the other hand, seems to lie very easily, he lied about no preservation order when there verifiably is one. I don't believe Brennan. And the CW seems all too willing to spend all the money they want on prosecuting weak and bizarre cases
And it isnt their money. It is mine and the others who live here- the taxpayers. It enrages me.
@@jills9373 EXACTLY. Sickening
bev is ridiculous!! drop the charges already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like that she continues to pretend there’s nothing wrong. It fits with all the evidence tampering, destruction of and butt dials in this case. That’s why we question her actions.
Remember she’s responsible for her behavior and we’re all watching and judging her.
I still cant believe the fact there is no ring/cctv from the house
I HATE when they have "a policy" to destroy the video or audio recordings of interviews after writing a report. The problem is the the report is essentially yellow journalism since they will write the report based on on their perception of the facts.
Dismiss , dismiss , dismiss!
I don’t understand why this case has not yet been thrown out. Time after time we see the state is not forthcoming and drags their feet. How interesting how some of the video is available but not ALL of it. Cmon Judge cannelloni, do the right thing and JUDGE AND RULE THIS AS A DISMISSAL!!
It's so RIDICULOUS THAT THE PROSECUTION IS STILL TRYING TO PROSECUTE KAREN REED FOR THE DEATH OF JOHN O'KEEFE IS F'NNNN LAUGHABLE & I THINK SO EMBARRASSING FOR THE TOWN OF CANTON.. ITS LIKE THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT THAT THEY'RE WRONG!!!!! THEY ARE INCOMPETENT AND THEY SHOULD ALL BE IN JAIL FOR CONTEMPT... THRY LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF DUMMIES, LYING DIRTY DUMMIES.. THE TOWN OF CANTON LOOK LIKE THEY ALL GOT THEY'RE LAW LICENSE S IN A CRACKER JACK BOX!!!! HELLOOOO WHATS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE THERE??? O MEAN THE WHOLE WORLD IS THINKING THIS ... EVERY DAY THAT GOES BY THEY LOOK DUMBER AND DUMBER HOW CAN THIS BE REAL??????!!!!
EVEN
The first trial was so crooked and shady and it continues to be. The case should be thrown out. It is so unfair.
she needs to approve the costs and dismiss the case. she denied phone preservations not sallyport videos
Speaking to the preservation of evidence, wouldn't it be standard procedure for the PD to preserve all evidence pertaining to chain of evidence when they are indighting and alleging that the car is a murder weapon.
Why was CPD left with all the evidence? Why was "murder weapon" blood/dna left in CPd sally port? Why was video footage not removed from CPD immediately? They were recused for conflict of interest for a reason.MSP should be in trouble for this in my opinion. They took over case immediately so everything should have been removed immediately. I don't get how this isn't the biggest issue being argued.
Wow Peter…this case does not cease to smell of not so nice things. Thanking you for your coverage and waiting avidly for next update. 🙏😊
Atty Brennan got blind sided by the Commonwealth DA Morrissey. Lally couldn’t do the job so they reached out. Free Karen Read
Brennan gets paid enough to know better. This isn’t a blind side.
Great content as always Peter! Seems like the bombshell is Agent Higgins 1:35 am call on the newly released video from the Commonwealth - hits just keep on coming to the Commonwealth’s case - big question if there is more exculpatory video from Canton PD…
Looking up call now.. can you further explain?!
@@bjcbren2Comm turned over enough clip from the Canton PD sallyport video post 1st trial in Fall 2024 which shows Agent Higgins on his cell around 1:35 am outside the sallyport - could have been a basis for the defense to obtain Agent Higgins phone records during the 1st trial
Maybe the reason Breenan was so accommodating was he knew nothing was there. How can the CW be prosecuting someone for murder and not know where and what video was available.
Interesting enough, my employer does storage preservation of emails, phone calls, video, etc for corporations and municipal governments. This is a big piece of the business we’re looking to acquire in 2025 all because I started talking about watching trials and preservation being an issue for gov’ts.
Yikes, Defense denied for 12k! Looks like Bev isn't shaking off her image of being biased vs defense.
Has she already denied it?
@crystalweddington3688 yes
What!!!
CW are spending more time defending themselves in this trial, reasonable doubt, definitely 💯.
A lie unchecked....the entire CW case is lies unchecked 🙄
>A lie unchecked....
Jackson should use that opening line in his closing!
@LawyerYouKnow you read the comment about The Young Jurks and the sally port video right at the end of this stream. But it felt like you didn’t get the significance of that comment it wasn’t me who commented. The Young Jurks had an interview with someone who is highly experienced with the software and hardware that is used in the sally port. It is a very good and scientific explanation of how all the video stuff works and how she believes it might potentially prove manipulation of the videos. I really hope you see this comment and check it out. If she is correct there are massive problems that need explanation by the commonwealth. Thank you for your videos.
Karen is innocent 💯
Thank you for covering this case.
isn't it easy to look nice be nice and accommodating when you know it's not there
Usual excellent coverage of the fine points.
My mouth dropped open when the Prosecutor admitted there was a backup drive. It appears that the defense never had access to that drive. Its even possible that a backup drive still has meta data on it.
If there is an iCloud backup of the footage, why has the prosecution not turned it over? It would be impossible to verify its authenticity but at least they would have it.
I just don’t understand how we can bring this women to trial this is not justice
And Higgins isn’t just a cop on the case, he had a relationship with Karen!
Higgins is an ATF AGENT that's work's out of the Local Police Station
Yanetti got a preservation order granted in Feb 2022 at Karen's first hearing them he filed motion to renew previous motions and Oct 3rd 2022 Judge Bev denied it? He then motioned to have reconsideration of renewing the prior granted motions and they can't can't find Bev's ruling anywhere .I don't get how she can deny an order already granted by another judge though?I'm wondering if she's realising what she may have done and the stuff that may come with that decision she originally took now , especially with the case at the critical point it's at and this seriously involves her decisions incorrectly made at that point ? Wonder if could be any possible repercussions for her by way of what's been done at all?
I think the confusion is that there were 2 different preservation orders.
Yanetti made the one in 2022 in front of the other judge for all evidence to be preserved. It was granted, and the Judge said something like "it should go without saying, but I will grant it"
The preservation order that Bev denied was the rule 14 motion from the defense for Higgins and Albert to preserve their phones. She called it a "fishing expedition". If the CW had produced the video of Higgins in the CPD parking lot at 130am on the night in question, on the phone, perhaps the defense could have argued that it was in fact NOT a fishing expedition, because Higgins lied about calling anyone that night after leaving Fairview.
I doubt Bev will face any repercussions for her bias thanks to judicial immunity and all that bs. That said, as a tax-paying MA resident, I wish Bev would just retire. Corruption aside, she seems to have no passion for law or justice. She acts like she would rather be anywhere else in the world, with all her sighing, chair rocking, eyeglass swinging, etc - it's just a bad look.
I find the retention crazy, I work for a municipality and I have to keep everything for no less than 3 years
Brennan said: "I began a study of the case and tried to articulate and account for all evidence and make sure the defence obtained everything they were entitled to and more"
There is no "and more". The defense is entitled to EVERYTHING the prosecution has. He can't have more than that as it should have already been part of the case or that would have been a brady violation. Then Brennan goes on to say "there is no brady violation" while waving a huge flag saying "here is the evidence of the brady violation".
This trial shouldn't be delayed, it should be dismissed completely. There can be no fair trial when the government has been proven to have either wilfully destroyed exculpatory evidence, or at the very least, not preserved evidence they knew SHOULD have been preserved.
As soon as the defense told them they wanted it preserved, the police department should have removed the Hard Drive from the CCTV system and put it away in a sealed antistatic bag, surrounded by 4 inches of packing and kept away from anything that could cause damage. The drive should have been cloned by an outside agency for safekeeping and a copy given to both the defence and the prosecution. How can they not have rules and procedures for this very event?
The UA-cam lawyers act like they’ve never encountered corruption!
Peter approved of judge Cannone suggesting the defense get altered video from the prosecution. Where is the smack down on the prosecution for altering and withholding the video?!
The UA-cam lawyers are like “Brennan said the video might not be there, so AJ was taking a chance.”
What?!
If there are two children and one child first destroys the other child’s new toy, and then hides it, most fair minded parents would put the thief in time out.
The diplomacy the UA-cam lawyers employ while “analyzing” the trials and motions looks to me like a lack of discernment. Which basically means opportunism. They just do what’s easy and collect money.
So that’s not expert analysis at all.
Not very good. I object!
Best lawtube channel. Unbiased and explains the law aspects without injecting emotion and opinion (unlike another famous lawtuber).
A mind blowing situation ! Unbelievable
🇺🇸♥️🕊🇺🇸
The preservation order was done on her arraignment
Brennan might be prosecuting some canton police officers before this is done 😂
I want to know where these pieces of video came from. What Officers gave them to the DA? Where and how were they stored? Who is the retired officer?
I saw a video several months ago where someone did a timeline that showed the CW failed to turn over half a dozen things that the defense requested. Many of them had been requested up to two years before the trial even started and were never handed over..
Surprise! Denied!
*MY UNCLE WAS IN THE SAME PRISON WITH DARYL BROOKS! HE SAID THE FIRST WEEK THEY SENT HIM TO GEN POP, HE WAS JUMPED, BEATEN UNCONSCIOUS, AND SA’D. MY UNCLE SAID THEY SHIPPED HIM OFF TO ADX!!! NO OUTSIDE CONTACT EVER AGAIN FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE!*
The arguments in this hearing need to be looked at together with the broader pattern of dishonest behavior by law enforcement. In weighing whether this was an intentional Brady violation or just some kind of minor clerical oversight, it's reasonable to ask if this is a single episode or one of many. Trying to dodge the obvious malfeasance by nitpicking the wording of the defense's request is itself dishonest.
It baffles me at how many in MA, (though admittedly haven’t really watched the case; only 6:00 news headlines) still think she did it, albeit accidentally. I was so disappointed in them. One former LEO I know, knew I knew what I was talking about as I threw out names, facts, etc. Still, they tried to put a spin on it but I’ve known them too long and too well for me to believe, in my opinion, that they know I’m right but they wouldn’t dare agree with me.
Ok, maybe the Prosecution didn't have to "allow" the defenses expert coming to get a copy of the "raw" video. However, he DID and the fact everything is piece mealed and still trickling in is proof that something is not quite up to snuff.
Thanks Peter!❤
It's so hard to imagine that this case is going to start April 1, particulary since the supreme judicial court (SJC) hasn't even ruled on the jury issue from the last trial where several jurors said they had all acquitted Karen Read on several charges but didn't understand the jury forms. That seems like a huge impediment to starting this trial on time, and once again, Bev is just trying to rush everyone through, not giving the defense adequate time to prepare their dismissal motion because the CW just dumped a boatload of new information on them. Plus, there are now all these Brady violations discussed today that need to be resolved. Why the rush, Bev? She is one of the reasons for all the delays because she kept granting CW's requests for Daubert hearings on defense experts, knowing she had already approved these witnesses for the first trial, thus wasting everyone's time and money. And, how about all her delays in making rulings after motions and hearings which are generally not even professionally done, but rather she just scribbles something in pen on the bottom of a motion with no expediency for time whatsoever. What if the SJC says she must bring all jurors back from the first trial and question them, and why is the SJC taking so long to make their ruling. It all just boggles the mind.
Going forward..in a civil suit- KR needs a not guilty verdict for damages?
@@bjcbren2 Good question, but I don't know. We all have to remember that the first priority is getting through this second persecution trial, and if she's found not guilty, she then has to deal with the civil suit filed against her by the O'Keefe family which is pending the result of this criminal trial, and she can probably also start her own civil trial. If this criminal trial winds up in another mistrial, who knows what the CW will do? Will they proceed to a third persecution of her? Time will tell.
Brennan needs to get over himself. He may have not been a part of the holding back of Brady material however the commonwealth was and right now, he is representing the commonwealth so suck it up buttercup.
This case drives me nuts. Didn’t the CW expert say she couldn’t conclude O’Keefe was struck by a car? Reasonable doubt. Throw this case out, Judge Bev!
If they are still producing new video as of today, it has to be somewhere. The expert was told no one knew where the info was and it had been provided to the defense. That was a lie. They should get the money.
Its understood at discovery that if you have it give it early if you can. The Bailliff should have had the evidence packages ready to distribute to the parties at arraignment such that everyone was up to speed on the case.
Peter these cops are dirty! There is always bad apples
Thank you Peter!!
The Judge in New Mexico on Alec Baldwin case would SHUT THAT DOWN SNAP
Maybe Brennen knew the information was no longer available and looked accommodating by allowing them to review..
Even if the video copies are on the retired detective’s account, it’s unlikely they will be able to authenticate it in that form. This entire case is such a 💩 show
Mmmm….He downloaded it to the detective file. Who had access to the detective files? The cops that are dirty.
No more delay, get this case over and done with and free Karen
If your a defendant who is in a case such as this, and you run up a large bill above what your attorney fees are, but your found not guilty, does the state pay for your defense?
I hear Brennan say things like “I want them to get everything they need and even things they don’t get to have” and “I have looked through the entire file”… but then find out there is MORE that even HE doesn’t know about because he didn’t look at this(knowing that there was some kind of download).
That sounds a bit sus to me… is he not looking because he knows it’ll be bad? Is it something they didn’t tell him about and he’s learning as they go? Either way, it is a bad look no matter what side you land on with guilty/not guilty for the commonwealth-and they never looked great to start with.
This is why, we FKR, keep fighting for justice!
So THATS why the cw says they were on an officers iCloud!!! So they can claim they didn't know it existed and deny Brady violation !!!
The defense is making sure all arguments are available for use during any appeal.
If the Appeals Court decides there was a Brady violation, the Defense wants basically all evidence to be suppressed or the entire case dismissed with prejudice.
One thing is that Higgens' testimony should not only not be available because the phone information was not turned over to the defense, and since the phone was wiped after evidence that Higgens lied under oath (committec Felony Perjury) came to light, the defense must be allowed to argue that the phone contained a confession that Higgens conspired to frame Read (knowing destruction of evidence means that in court, the missing evidence can be assumed to be the worst possible thing for the destroyer).
It's pretty obvious the video was edited... flipped and parts removed.
Thats why they "lost" it...
Don’t understand Peter how could Brennan be assuming recused CPD was on the up and up on the video evidence. Did he really think this evidence wasn’t going to a major factor in a 2nd trial?
Thank you Peter!
I listen to you everyday 😅I need you to cover it😂
