    Karen Read is accused of murder in the second degree, driving under the influence, and fleeing the scene of a hit and run of her police officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe. The prosecution and defense paint different pictures of what happened the night of the blizzard. The prosecution claims that Karen and John had problems in their relationship and that she ran him over with her car while drunk and took off. They state that they found his blood in the broken tail light of Karen's car. The defense states that Karen dropped off her boyfriend at a party with his police officer friends and that it is more likely that he was beaten up in the home and then left outside in the blizzard to die. She also claims she is being set up by the cops. A Federal investigation is also currently happening but is not finished. So far, the feds say that they do not believe John O'Keefe was hit by a car. The jury selection began Tuesday, April 16, 2024 and I will be covering it gavel to gavel!

    I started following you with the Depp case, but as a Boston girl, this case is so important to me. I believe in Karen’s innocence 100%, so glad you’re covering this!! The way they have charged people with witness intimidation just to keep people’s mouths shut is INSANE! Turtleboy, the journalist to exposed them was sent to jail for 60 days…also framed. Then the 9 protesters charged with witness intimidation as well. Craziness! They were holding signs on a side walk. Also, don’t worry about getting confused about Morissey, once you see him it’s hard to get Michael “Pass the Gravy” Morrissey, confused with anyone else lmao

      Yes, just that single fact is 10000% enough to prove reasonable doubt. I think the armchair law experts forget that reasonable doubt what they need to prove. And with the 3rd party culprit, they don’t need to prove who did it, just that someone else plausibly could have. I don’t understand how anyone can hear the plain facts and still think she can be convicted.

    I payed no attention to this case until 3 months ago. With a background in EMS, the injuries of Officer John O'Keefe just doesn't add up. That was the first red flag for me. After diving into both sides' point of view, It's astonishing to me that this is going to trial. I'm from Massachusetts. I'm law enforcement bias usually. This case is an eye opener from me.

      You can do the same thing except put the phone on a body that you are carrying and walk up the stairs and to the front yard where you dump the body and the phone. John and Karens phone were feet apart as the drove from point A to point B. At Point B there phones got further apart. As he got farther from Karen. He got closer to Everyone in the house.
      The home owner is a BPD officer in the fugitive unit. He knows how cell phones work. He knew what he was doing

    If the dog has a history of biting, it's significant. I worked dog rescue and rehoming a dog after 2nd bite (1st bite gets excused as it's "never done this before") is not unusual. It's done to hide the history so the dog doesn't get a dangerous dog label or be put down. If there were two bites prior to àlleged night of attack, that would be an extremely poor situation for the dog/family. Jmo
