Karen Read's "Third Party Culprit" Evidence - Part 1, Colin Albert - Lawyer LIVE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июл 2024
- Before trial, Karen Read suggested Colin Albert could be a third party culprit. Tonight we will take a look at the evidence she presented at trial.
The case against Karen Read ended in a hung jury and a mistrial was declared. Both sides have said they will retry the case.
Did Karen Read murder her boyfriend John O’Keefe by mowing him down with her car -maybe even intentionally? Or is she being set up by a corrupt law enforcement officials trying to protect their own?
O’Keefe was found dead in Canton, Massachusetts, in the front yard of Boston police officer Brian Albert. Prosecutors say Karen dropped him off at a party at Albert’s house and then hit him with her car.

Remember that just because our opinions on this case are deeply divided, doesn’t mean we all have to be! 🙌 we can’t learn from each other if we all think the same way.
Well said!
Sadly, when I try to have cordial and rational conversations about the subject, such as asking somebody who is pro-guilt "which of the evidence against her did you find compelling" I get ghosted. 🤷🏻♀️
I wish people would take the time to explain themselves so we can better understand each other.
Amen!!
2+2=3 Come together on that. Find a common ground that it might be 3 1/2.
Lawyer Lee I think you would make a fabulous judge!!
My same thoughts 💭!
She really would.
@@kathyconner51 what a great idea
Agree
I'm glad she's on here so I can learn from her. She is very intelligent and organized for sure I know I'm a teacher and she is too!!
You’re a strong woman! I admire you. ❤
Me too.
Me 3 👌
Me 4.
Meeeee 5!
And me!
I think Colin Albert did the deed and all the adults in the room scrambled to save him
And he got poor Chloe in on it 😢
@@johannawigg6921 If any kind of argument or scuffle started between these drunken guys, a protective dog will jump right in to protect their family.
What’s his motive
And they probably all justified it to themselves, "John wouldn't want Colin go to jail for an accident."
John wouldn't want an innocent woman to go to prison either.
@@debranagrocki4952 he has an anger management problem.
Lawyer Lee, I enjoy your approach to cases very much. Evidence based and calm. Thank you! I am learning so much from you.❤
Agree!! 😊
Agree! This is my absolute favorite place on the internet
I agree! She gets to the point also. Others tend to go on and on about stupid stuff and I get really bored.
He opened the bedroom door, and said I love you good night I am home??? Of course all teenage boys doing this after midnight ... cough cough ... sounds like BS
I agree!
Yes, cant see this ever happening…more like went into his room and locked the door like a real teenager
When his mother said it then I saw him and heard the way he spoke on video I knew he wasn’t the kind of teenager to go to his parents room while drunk to kiss his mother goodnight.
All kids this age lie!
I agree, but remember, this is the Albert family we are talking about. It appears they allow underage drinking.
After seeing how Colin lied on the stand about fighting and the way he acted last week when turtleboy was assaulted....I'm certain the Mcalberts were involved
Yup.
During cross Colin lied about never been in a fight... Now there IS video of him fighting. Gonna be fire calling him out next time around.
Absolutely! I thought the same thing after observing their behavior.
Also Chris Albert who literally killed another human being and ran from LE for 3 days.
I think these folks have gotten away with their shenanigans for so long they think they're above the law. Thank goodness the Fed's are on it.
I think it's pretty certain that he and Allie took Chloe away - remember her dog story, missing video where she was driving around . . .
@@SandyKnauerMorgan
Yeah, dog given away after being family pet for 7 years and in another state. Weird
I live in Macon, and didn’t know there was any other greeting other than, “Hi, ya’ll”. Seems perfectly normal to me.
Hi, @realitycheck4842, I’m in Macon also! Love your comment!! 😊❤
I'm from Clemson SC and I say hey y'all.
I’m from Boston and I love the word y’all! I could listen to someone with a southern accent all day. This trial made me realize how silly we sound here 😂
Hi You’ll, I’m from NC & say that all the time, I love 💕 it when Lee says that 👍🏻
Born and raised in NC and yes, this is how we greet people 💕
The defense didn’t prove the third party culprit. The Police didn’t investigate the third party. The Defense did prove that that there was no car accident. The Judge was horribly biased.
Yah, I think the judge is corrupt. She shouldn't have stayed on this case.
Did anyone even watch the entire trial and see the Common Wealths solid evidence?Sorry, the common wealth timelines truly outmatched the defense on technology. JOHNS Phone GPS stopped at 12:25 fact absolutley no movement after it stopped . At 12:23, John's phone gps data records the 3 point turn into 34 Fairview. Karens Suv vehicle control data recorded 24 mph reverse back up of 62 feet. This is plotted by miles on the suv within 8 minutes leading up to 12:30. This is when karen hit John. At 12:35, karen left hang up on John's phone fact. Fact at 12:36 Karen's phone connects to wifi at one meadows. That only leaves a few minutes for all of what the defense claims. What happened supposedly the fight in the house with the dog dragging the body to the lawn with all parties involved, Absolutley insanely absurd to make such a ludicrous claim. As for the defence On it’s own the Apple Health app is limited. It really does require accessories to gather the data. Jen Mccabes times don't matter as much since the human element of recalling 2 and a half years ago is a factor. Karen's Guilty of murder
@@davidking6986so you're just ignoring the FBI expert reconstructionists' and ME's evidence entirely? Cool, cool. It is ridiculous to bicker over time stamps when the CW couldnt even show the most basic of the elements of the crimes they charged.
@@davidking6986 snow plow worker said there was no body on the lawn. CW proved nothing and I watched the whole trial.
Did anyone say the dog dragged him outside? That would be silly. There is no way his injuries are from a vehicle. That's also silly.
I am going to bow out on any more Karen Read videos for now. It hurts me to think how ‘reasonable doubt’ is so unattainable even when the experts back you up. I need to watch another case like Daybell, where the bad guys lose and the good guys win. It’s just where I’m at right now.
I feel this. Critical thought is dwindling 😢
Right there with ya friend
The Defense is going to come back even stronger!!! Go get all the phone records let’s see who else destroys their phones!!!
Its obvious they lied, they all lied but karen Read and the medical examiner. How this ended in mistrial and not a not guilty is beyond me.
So if the "kids" were not harassing John by walking on his lawn, lobbing beer cans onto his property, flipping him the bird, and generally being a pain in the arse, why did he feel the need to put up a fence, hmmmm.
Why didn't they pull data from his cellphone and his car to confirm what time he got home?
The defense couldnt. Only way they could get it is if the FBI got it because Proctor isnt going to snitch on his own crew...
@StillKeepOnLosing I live in another state, so unfamiliar with MA laws. In some states defense can request supoena,
Colin’s phone was never extracted. Just Jen, Karen, and John, and the things Higgins decided to turn over.
@@Esselle1 the defense attempted to get the phones of Higgins and B Albert but the court denied it. The day before the preservation order, both of them got new phones.
They need to start getting all phones records now!!
The amount of alcohol and fights seems to be a normal thing in that Albert family, adult or teenager.
Colin Albert was like a little baby on the stand. But not when he was threatening Aiden Kearney last Sunday....big tough little boy then.
That’s the “journalist” that harass families?
He did? Can't that be entered as evidence in trial #2 to show his violent nature?
I want you to know, when I want to hear something about a case you are almost the only one I watch - but you are the _only_ lawyer I watch. You are ethical and honest and intelligent and I admire you greatly.
I love watching your videos and hear your views on all these cases. This one was a complicated twisted case…and there is so much more!
I cannot even believe a next trial could be allowed by law!
My heart hurts for poor Karen Reed. How awful to have to endure this again. Not to mention the family who are grieving the loss of their son. The cover-up by these “friends” are torturing SO MANY PEOPLE. 😢😢😢😢
An astonishing failure of the justice system.
Karen is guilty
THIS miscarriage of justice is what should alarm all of us. It is THE story. It matters and could happen to anyone in a small town run by a dishonest, violent, "family first" clan.
@@colettejaques2559 Yeah, Karens car has bitten John to death...
seems to be a trend lately. The justice system is failing us on a national level.
???? Would those who destroyed their phones do it to protect either Colin or Bria? I’d say Colin..
Jen mcabe allegedly went to Colin and his friends the next day telling them to delete Thier call logs etc .
@@SLYDIT something smells funny here .
@@judyhendrix5584 it's likely kr don't make fun of her. She can't help it.
@@Kkaayy111it's your upper lip!
Yeah folks, the Reason Mommie never goes to sleep until all her kids are home is bc she’s worried she’s just gonna hafta get up again and go get her drunken, troublesome kids outta some situation again. She’s a typical enabler of a drunken bunch of baby men.
The tail light still intact at 5am should settle the case.
If all other evidence disappeared, THAT ALONE proves innocence.
That is exactly what I thought since the beginning. The rest of it is almost moot.
It's crazy it's in tact, yet over time cops found many many pieces around the are JOK laid.
Did you watch this in a large tv? I did. The taillight isn’t there. The taillight is also not there at 8:23 am at the wellness check.
@@Sunshinestatejen no, I watched this on my 3.5" phone and saw nothing but red on both taillights.
Let's not forget that those text screenshots were pretty suss.
Brian Higgins said he used the FBI tool to extract the "test strings" of the texts... so why were there screenshots put in evidence?
That FBI computer didn't make screenshots, so where are the files it would have created?
Feels like defense should have asked about this.
And for that matter, they should have gotten some FBI representative to explain this.
Extremely sus.
???? Isn’t it a conflict that the judge’s brother is a lawyer and represented Chris Albert in a drunken manslaughter case?
@@user-bv9xj4vb2w most people would think so.
of course it is
No...😂😂😂😂
@@colettejaques2559 She should have recused herself because of her brother's connection to the Albert family.
Maybe not BUT IT IS a conflict that the Albert's call her Auntie Bev, she is godmother to one of the children, and they vacay at her Hampton Beach house every summer
The evidence proved that Colin, his parents, and Lally lied.
I mean, Chris Albert said he fell asleep for an unknown amount of time and then was woken by Colin's gn. The bar camera said Chris left at 12:13. If Colin left the party at 12:10 according to every testimony from the mcalberts, how did Chris have time to fall all the way asleep if Colin was 9 minutes away from home?
They killed this cop and covered up. That's what's up here, they need to be charged. The judge did not allow much in
@@pikachu7572no it was proven he wasn't in bed. They murder this man and covered up.
@@SandyKnauerMorgan hopefully the FBI will shed light on the truth can be proven.
@@NJ-Cathie the DOJ case should have been completed first. That's the only way Karen Read had a chance at a fair trial. As it was, this one was based on ZERO credible evidence due to a totally incompetent investigation.
Yes exactly! I agree that you not share your thoughts because it would absolutely influence many people. You are such a professional and so knowledgeable and most importantly mindful of your position on this platform! I appreciate all of these traits , characteristics etc of you Lawyer Lee ❤❤❤
Fully agree!!
Yesterday I got snippy because you never told me where you stand on this case. I apologize. I appreciate that you have said today, that you will not divulge your opinion until the case is fully over. I admire your continued ethics, and I have subscribed.
Thanks for all the different aspects you are covering, on this case. It’s very very interesting! Much appreciated!
Proctors phone whereabouts should also be checked on which Towers pinged during this time. Did he go straight from Reads car in PD custody to Fairview 34 to plant taillight pieces
Colin Albert scares me. I think there is more to CA than we know.
Lol.The pothead scares you?
Good Instincts!😢
What kind of reply was that?@@maanmohammad8459
He will hurt (or worse) someone else soon. I suspect John O'Keefe had something on him which probably involved Allie, too.
He's Mr tough guy because he lives in this Rich Little area bring him to a city he would get his butt kicked with his loud mouth
Do you really think Colin is the type of kid who runs upstairs to tell Mommy & daddy he's home and he loves them with a goodnight kiss?
Question for the Medical Examiner: What was the internal body temperature of the deceased? What was the estimated TIME OF DEATH? How much estimated volume of blood loss?
I just don’t think a rational jury can be pulled unless they change to a distant venue.
Another great rundown of the case. Thank you!
I absolutely am ecstatic to hear you shout out others then the first five ! No matter what day it is people log onto your live long before you even do and nobody ever has a chance to be one of the first five ! I have tried several times and always full even two to three hours before you are on ! So thank you for changing it up ❤
I'm looking forward to tomorrow night. I suspect Higgins because of his odd behavior, which includes destroying his phone info, having a major crush on Karen, and leaving a party basically drunk to return to the police station to move cars. I believe he was calling Brian Albert around 2 a.m., and Brian called him also. Thank you, Lawyer Lee. 🌻
Also sparring in the pub which can be deemed to be threatening gestures to JO
This case stinks to high heaven and I am looking forward to more being revealed.
I appreciate hearing why someone would think she's guilty
How many people left the party after John arrived is one of the many questions I have .Did they all sleep over or something? Thanks Lee for all your hard work ❤
I think we all love when you say you’re signature tagline.
I appreciate you summarizing the court case and educating us. In essence, you put us in the position of being a juror. In response to what you present we are left to make up our minds as to how we’d deliberate. I believe there was reasonable doubt.
Who moved Brian Albert's SUV Ford edge from driveway to the street if everybody asleep
Well we are not sure it was his vehicle but good question.
@@johnmorgun9961 The snow plow driver lucky new the alberts and there SUV.
@@tdex2402 True. He didn't say it was BAs vehicle.
@johnmorgun9961 He did that's why he didn't call a tow truck and have it removed
@@tdex2402 Oh yes! You're right. He said he didn't report it out of courtesy to BA. 😄 Thanks for clarifying that.
I actually wouldn’t be shocked if we found out he ended Mr O.
Thank you, very informative episode, Lawyer Lee.
???? Why didn't the prosecutoers check all location of all the people in the house, the police by cellphone location..
Because they didn’t want to, they wanted to make sure the Albert’s were not involved that was their prime motivator from the beginning
@@lisolette1 Not the IA, but the Union will end up protecting hi.. 🙄
@@MamaPinks yes, yes you are right thank you !
Why didn’t the defense? I hope one of them does for the next trial. Seems like something they would both want to see.
30:49 Did he say in opening statements that KR hit John at 0045? And then in closing statements he said an earlier time? Maybe 0030. How can he get away with that?
Hi Lawyer Lee, When you stated that the lawyers get emotionally invested, that was the case in the Adelson trial. Katherine Magbanua’s first trial ended in a mistrial however once retried received a guilty verdict.
That's very different. In Karen's case she will never be found guilty because it's very clear John okeefe was never struck by a vehicle not to mention the other mountains of evidence that point to the Albert and McCabe family
@@primalcrittersbefore the first trial , you all said she'd be found not guilty too.
Thank you so much for explaining the legal behind the scenes where the judge might exclude things and why. I would appreciate it you could explain why the judge did side bars the way she did and what they could've been, etc.
Thank you for your videos. Have a beautiful week.
Love how you explain the law so we can understand it!
Waiting to hear from the jurors who think they are smarter than the arcca/FBI experts who said car accident scientifically didn't happen 😴
Such a lie ! Do any teenagers go to their parents room and say I love you and kiss them ???? At 12:00 midnight ?
I sure didn't.
@@timestax maybe when we left to camp or college 😀
Always awesome tysm!
I thought it was Brian Albert and Colin Albert
Even if Karen hit him-Dr.Russel testified&Autopsy show blunt force trauma dog bites & hypothermia- Brian&Colin&Higgins brought John to basement.He reported Colin for dealing drugs-MOTIVE‼️
Yes they were involved in the fight that Killed John
@@primalcritters No hard evidence of this
Brian Albert, Colin Albert, and Brian Higgins
Hi Lawyer Lee- I hope you are well ❤ thank you for helping us understand all the mumbo jumbo 😂
?? Hey Lawyer Lee! Thank you for all of your work and dedication to this trial! Would you be able to share a link to the timeline document publicly? This is really great Information and I appreciate all of your hard work! Thank you!
Lawyer Lee, you are the best! You are such a brilliant teacher - ever think of teaching law? Thanks so much for your hard work on the channel - esp love your timelines & graphics!!! ♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟♥️
Remember: she is basing this on what the Jury saw!
The whole trail was so confusing with so many people seemingly colluding with each other & sketchy. At one point it seemed they were all covering up something
Lee thank you for everything you do for us and I want you to know you are an inspiration to me and many here especially in light of your recent significant loss. In other words, you rock and are in my prayers. ❤
Lee it’s so cool how after all your years of experience, you seem so excited and fascinated about the law. I love it!!!
Great job on this video 🎉
This case will be an awesome future Movie. "Cover-up in Canton"
Q. Lee would you please answer my question please, do jurors start deliberating on a daily basis from the beginning of trial or shall they wait until after the closing? Thanks
No, they are forbidden from discussing the case at all.
Every day judges give that instruction to juries because they can't really decide until they see all the evidence. If they hear one version of an event then the next day they might hear a different version of that event. People have different views because all have different life experiences.
New subbie due to your unbiased reviews of cases. Thank you and continued healing 🙏
14:23 Granted I didn’t drink as a teen (still don’t, alcohol is too bitter) but I would have still let my parents know when I got home because my mom made me promise to always let her know as she couldn’t sleep knowing someone wasn’t home yet and my dad would be up waiting regardless unless he already knew I was getting home later.
I suppose it all depends on the teen’s relationship with their parents. Judging by how lax with the drinking laws everyone is in this town I’d put money on them not caring much their teen is drinking.
My teen always lets us know when he comes in as he knows I worry and can’t sleep until then
Colin has a very disturbing video that was part of the trial. He doesn’t look innocent. Just because children come in to say “they’re home” doesn’t mean they don’t leave again. Especially if they’re up to no good.
Thought your alarm was mine 😂 pressed it to turn it off lol 😆
I think the glass pieces on John’s shirt came from the drinking glass
They were matched to the taillight.
Aloha Lee and everyone!
I also thought of that before, could it be possible that he slipped and fell on something and a raccoon passing by got into a fight with his arm.. but then I hear the butt dials testimonies, missing footage, familial ties, there was a dog in that house that is somewhere in the ether.. timelines don’t match up, reports are written wrong.. oh my I’m tired of typing , my point is, there’s only one possible scenario here. He went inside.
💯
I really appreciate your honest approach when there is a literal mob pushing for one idea.
Social media trials shouldn’t be so influential.
I’m not sure about what happened btw. There is strong evidence and unanswered questions for both verdicts…
Thank you.
Did I hear you correctly that the Judge denied the defense to argue that Colin was there at the time BECAUSE there was testimony that he left before everyone else arrived. Wouldn’t that be up to the jury to decide?
What has happened with Higgins? I thought he had a lawyer and was being investigated by the FEDS…will we ever know.
The defence need to see collins knuckles after johns death. There is a picture floating around. And no that didn’t happen from a fall.
How do you know when they happened. Defense had no idea
@@jfk32975How do you know the car hit him? 3 coroner's said bruises weren't from a car. 2 people the FBI hired proved the car did not hit him. So basically anyone that was an expert in a specific field of study said no. Only ones who said yes were cops. Cops that were friends with the people who lived at the house.
Apologies, lack of bruises show he wasn't hit with car.
Colin lied on the stand saying he's never been in a fight. Now there is a video of him in a fight. Cross going to be good next time around. Busted
@@MrJeremyLambYep. No bruises, no car strike. It's that simple.
This case feels like twilight zone sometimes.
😂😂 I'm in the middle when your alarm went off😂😂 if you could have seen my reaction😂😂 then you so sweetly said "Sorry"! 😂😂
In the beginning is when that happened😂
I always hear the opening…❤
there should be DNA samples of the Alberts, for now there was only sampled DNA from Proctor and Buckeniç
And he didnot see the body in the snow either.... smh
??? Wonder how nervous they’d all be if Karen announced she had regained her full, complete memory??
If there was a police officer, and a lawyer on the jury, did either ever deal with these officers, and if so, what & how was their interactions?
... the fact is they all lied a out his presence that night... he did too. He is historically violent and provocative of crime.
I have always heard your tagline. Sorry for your loss.
???? Is it very common for so many people to lie under oath like we saw in this case?
There was talk about Colin selling drugs, and Officer John was investigating him.
@@MKD0804 your own Police department confirmed that officer O'Keefe was investigating and has reported drug dealing in that neighborhood involving Colin. It was well known that Colin and he did not get along well. Colin is a little brat and John did not like him
Lawyer Lee...I have enjoyed all of your live coverage. I am wondering if Sandra Bullock would play the roll of Karen Read in the Netflix series covering this case? Lol watch the rumors fly!
I’m always late for your livestreams.
I feel like the situation with cutting trough the lawn..there must have been more to it. For them to name him that in their phone and tease him with a picture of them straddling his fence saying come or else well destroy your lawn. I dont feel they would have made it that big for just that small joke from John . Logically there were probably several situations .
I took a three subject college ruled notebook of color-coded notes. Should I publish? 😂
Yes!!!!
Absolutely!
I really love all your videos. ❤❤
The judge she would not allow any reconstruction video or imaging. No type of experiment could be shown.
I was wondering why there weren't any.
THANK YOU for ACKNOWLEDGING RUclipsrs' difficulties hearding your introduction ...
Dateline interviewed Juror #3 an alternate .Who had to sit in a seperate room during deliberations for 5 days and not deliberate .She said afterward the CW had not proved their case to her she was in the opinion of Not Guilty beyond reasonable doubt and with a moral certainty .
Thanks for explaining the 3rd part culprit standards. Judge Cannone clearly erred allowing all the 3rd party evidence and it did confuse the jury while having no probative value whatsoever, as the trial proved.
You are so freakin’ likable! 🥰😊
11:16 How did Colin know his mom was feeling bad? She allegedly left bar and went home, Colin was at the Albert's.
Not sure what era you’re from but we have these things now called cell phones you can text on 😂
@@kelliethomson922 😂 I had to read the comment several times, I was like what? We have cell phones, nobody needed to hop on a horse and deliver a message. lmao
If you listen closely to the 911 tape, Jennifer Mcabb said they flipped him over which would put him on his stomach when they found him
Things had been heating up all day. Earlier, on the way back from a funeral Higgins and Brian Albert had attended together Higgins probably confided his "problem" with John O'Keefe due to his feelings for Karen. Everyone left the Waterfall bar when it closed around midnight. Karen dropped O'Keefe off at Brian Albert's house and the last she saw of him he was making his way to the house. He was supposed to call her when he got inside, but never did. After waiting around several minutes, she left and went home She continued to call him several times, got no answer, gave up and went to bed. O'Keefe and Higgins had an encounter in the driveway where Higggins struck O'Keefe with his Jeep's tire iron. He left O'Keefe's unconscious body temporarily in the garage and made a quick sweep of the driveway with his Jeep's snowplow . WHY?--there was hardly any snow on the driveway. Later, they (Higgins and other members of the McAlbert Clan) moved the still alive body again to the basement, figured out a plan, and later moved the body again to the front lawn where O'Keefe eventually died. About 2:47 am SOMEONE checked Google on a cell phone about how long it takes someone to die of hypothermia. The coverup began and was later led and finessed by Procter. Evidence of the considerable blood loss from the head wound was destroyed by digging up and redoing the basement floor.
I thought I set an alarm at 5:36. I was thinking “what the heck, why”? 😂
Same. Lol
State witnesses had object please cues, cough, tug on ear - and Lally didn’t even know why he was objecting.
I saw that and wondered if it was legal to do that
The CW witnesses looked to the right when they needed help.
@@cristipratt2844 they started out coughing (early witnesses) then when the Internet was laughing about it they switched up. It was obvious.
EVERYTHING is a conspiracy? Urrrrghhhh!!!
