I find it odd that when the cops showed up at the party house, nobody came outside. All those red and blues and nobody was even curious?
On my block, if there's any emergency responder within eyesight, nearly everyone steps out to take a look at least. If it's an immediate neighbor, people come over to make sure you're good. Those guys ignored a bunch of cop cars in their own yard? Really?
Quite odd!
Yup, and isn't it odd they weren't even investigated properly? They were allowed to destroy almost all the evidence ffs!
They did. That's merely a rumor.
It was 6am….they were absolutely anihalated…they were all passed out comatose…..
The dog wasn’t even available either
Those poor kid's have had so much loss I pray for them to be well loved and cared for everyone that's taken care of them from their parents to their uncle they've lost
I thought the same. The grandparents lost two of theirs, and the children lost so many too. So so sad
Yes they have. I can’t imagine how they feel. They’ve suffered incredible loss.
"I have to remember the bad times." "I don't think I'm ever gonna see you guys again." There you go!!
Yes! I don't see how people can't see it!
Oh my gosh, this is so crushing! A wonderful man… No longer here! He was loved and so concerned about others, especially his sister’s children! How could this possibly happen?
𝗦𝗼 awful. The pain the O'Keefes have endured ... 😔
breaking up with these kind of women, its a risky decision. She is so guilty.⚖️
Blessings for the O'Keefes famility
@@juanacastillo7154 when did they break up?
Have you seen the video at the bar?
I see them together.
What type of girl is she?
Pretty girl?
It’s heartbreaking.
@@jessecars2406 She is an amazing, brilliant self-made millionaire. She loved Johnny and she loved the kids.
What baffles me is that these people act like they're in HIGH SCHOOL.
All dressed in pink? Not knowing what really happened to the Police Officer. They see her as a Celebrity😂😂😂😂
I think she did it. Why would the cops want to frame her??? Her face is ARROGANCE A FAMILY MEMBER SAID, THEY ARGUED!! DRINKING@
@pennicochrane8886 what you think about the federal investigation? In which ATF agent Higgins, who is friends with the Albert's, flipped and proffered with the U.S. Attorney saying he and Brian Albert destroyed their phones and sym card, switched carriers and got new numbers?
Why? Because they killed a police officer that allegedly knew of their thug kids dealing drugs. Its plainly obvious how corrupt this Albert family is.
@@pennicochrane8886
You're clearly BAISED, Have literally Zero expression to persuade Anyone here you possess discernment or rational critical thinking in matters this serious, Ts obvious the policy are witch hunting to Use legal manuvering presumptions to act in behalf of TRUTH for their, laughable attempt, waning to HANG someone for this death.
So with your ineptitude basically forfeiting ANY credibility.
The ole “if enough of Us say so there fore it's a foregone conclusion MUST be as WE say.
Sorry, NOT happening here, TRUTH has shown the DA Intro was shameful Deficient of solid foundational cornerstone application.
Literally 95% ppl replying are scratching there heads in What the HELL kind of a stumbling staggering INTRO to a murder case was this? LOL LOL.
It looked like a B-Rate Oprah Winfrey soap opera comedy.
This things was over as SOON as it started.
95%+ ppl vs what YOU think, HARDLY!
This thing is OVER!-And a waste of time.
@@ThomasJones-ij6hv👍🏼👍🏼
Sounds like O’Keefe had good family but lousy cop friends.
They weren’t his friends.
Exactly! Probably all jelous if him, jelous - envy- looks like they all had an animosity going towards him, hypocrits!
Karen wasn't much better 😮
@@LeannaMurphy-mx7zywhy did Jen McCabe invite John over? That part confuses me.
@l-train7876
Not sure anyone has that answer. Maybe it will be discussed during trial.
I think they invited anyone on the group at the waterfall.
Some people opted out.
Didn’t her husband just testify and answer half of these same questions?
Yes. But they want to hear it again. That's common.
No.....watch entire segment
Look at all the lives destroyed b/c of ABUSE OF ALCOHOL. None of this would have happened but for the abuse of alcohol.
I can agree with that. Drugs and booze suck but humans will be human.
And cops are the ones doing it. There was no “Uber- ing” going on either.
Totally agree with you.
I grew up in the Boston area. There is a "subculture" of lushes there. I recall lots of functioning alcoholic parents in the neighborhood.
Alcohol and drugs have ruined society, children, families and individuals. I am South African and frankly I have always, in the past, admired Americans, unfortunately now I think most Americans are entitled, full of it, over the top and greedy. No admiration anymore. If the lady is being set up well the mechanics have been outstanding and flawless. Good luck to the children and parents, the real victims here.
he stays alive on his job as a cop, and loses his life at a party
At another cops house too! The irony of it all.
Saddest irony. 😔
Not if he didn't make inside to the "party". Anger mixed with alcohol mixed with who is seemingly an alcoholic is as bad as any form of non-natural cause of death.
Saddest part to think about this is that the people in that city have a true blue bunch of cowards on their police force by not one having the decency or conscience to tell the truth.
The culture of deceit.
Cops are stupid for lying there's no excuse for it
It's so easy to throw the word you'll disregard in a court room, but really does anybody really disregard? I don't think so.
How is that hearsay when it was a direct convo between defendant and witness?!?
Hearsay is ANY statement made by someone other than the witness testifying under oath.
I don't think she did it.
Those Cops are bent as hell. They're setting her up for the fall.
Agree. Totally.
She is factually innocent, there certainly is reasonable doubt.
😂
@@Jack-eo5fn lmaooooo
That is very interesting indeed, the whole case has smelled fishy from the get-go 👍👍
Just the typical constant cheating accusations and arguments that every couple have. How do these people live?
Sounds like this lawyer went to the same leading law school as Elaine Bredehoft.
The judge has been extremely biased from the beginning.
Good judge...neutral
So far the prosecution witnesses have said what a nice person Karen is.
Interesting 🤔
From what I understand, they truly loved her very much. 😔
The reason Karen Read said “I have to remember the bad times” is because anger is easier to deal with than grief. If you remember he bad times it doesn’t hurt so much. Women use this strategy all the time to lessen the pain of a breakup.
💯
Whatever that lawyer said that’s not cool. It doesn’t matter if you like or dislike someone. The jury should be impartial.
you go sister, BTW your very hoti! Maxx
Why is he asking the exact same questions to her and her husband…redundant much
Every attorney in every courtroom asks the same questions of every witness @lindaoheff9169 that's how they get inconsistencies
That's common. Another witness!
This is so true... There is definitely a lot of secrets going around in this one. Haha
I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep drinking when you have children sooner rather than later your child pick up this bad behavior and I think that’s what happens here.
This is a ridiculous case. This wasn’t a deliberate taking of someone’s life at worst it was an accident. Why was she charged with murder?
They saw she got a very good attorney and up charged her thinking she would take a plea to the lesser charge.
Disgusting injustice system!
Because they are jealous nasty ppl
As I watch this I kinda like to be an objective juror. I have little knowledge of any facts. I'm hearing a lot of this for the first time. Stuff like this has taken place of "Knott's Landing" and "Dynasty" . Only this is real!
That’s how I watch this as well. It’s quite easy to be objective. To be unbiased does not mean you have no opinions. I admit to myself that I have no idea what actually happened until I learn it from the trial testimony.
I mean you'd have to be pretty dumb to try off your police officer husband, at a house party where a whole bunch of other police are at the time. Im just sayin. She doesn't seem like shes that dumb to plan off-ing her husband in that situation.
**Edit: boyfriend, not husband. (Coz that makes a huge difference to the whole comment. Not. )
Well, true, but they weren't married.
@@loveforeignaccents ok, then you'd have to be pretty dumb to do all the above as stated, except change husband to partner. Done.
You must not have seen a lot of true crime cases. People are dumb AF, just like anyone that thinks she's innocent 😂😂😂
She was wasted and driving in a blizzard. Dumb af.
Boyfriend, not husband.
Get that person a doctor and cough medicine
Too funny!
You would think they would step outside of the court
Every trial there is someone like that ,only once I heard the judge called them out of the room
That cough ... is a clue .. to remind whatever witness to say something, supposedly incriminating ... like cues .... watch and listen
If the injuries on his arm were caused by the car, where is the blood on the car? They found a hair, but not a single drop of blood?
Also, head injuries bleed profusely. Where is all the blood from the 2 inch laceration at the back of his head? Hearsay, someone said he lost 3 litres. Where is all the blood????
Exactly, just my opinion, but to me, those injuries on his right arm do NOT look as though they could have been sustained from being hit by a car. If Officer O'Keefe put his arm up to block the SUV from hitting him, would he not have more bruise-like injuries to his arm, a broken arm (allegedly being hit at a high rate of speed), rather than the scratch type marks the photos show?
My point. And now, we know he was wearing a puff jacket. Not on the inventory list, and all the clothes ending up for weeks in Proctor's car....
They did mention a pool of blood underneath him today. The “my cousin Vinny” mentioned it. But once your heart stops, your blood flow slows or just stops so it depends on how his body was situated.
The blood’s probably in the house tho, just my opinion. lol
In the basement of Brian Albert. That’s where all the blood was then they tore the basement floor up weird right ?
Internal bleeding after being struck by a VEHICLE.
I can't tell, do the brother and sister in law support Karen or the police’s version of events?
Every caretaker these children have had has passed on, at some point you have to look at these kids. Kidding, relax before you freak out.
Next guardian ought to be nervous, for sure.😮😅
😂😂
I Strongly suspect there is a lot more to this story than meets the eye!! She could be innocent.....IDK
Cops have ways of covering up their own crimes
I think he got into a fight with a friend at the party. It went too far and he died. They carried him outside and made it look like a hit and run. Their dog even chewed at him
@@bornfree0507 OMG, hahahah, I was just thinking the same dang thing after watching some of the Wrap=Up from Court TV. That dog definitely chewed on his arm and some kind of alcohol related brawl ensued! I think you hit it on the nose.
Yeah, now if the 100's that would have to be involved with the cover-up can keep their "secret" for the rest of their lives, all will be good.
Ya, one of their nephew's and the victim had a problem, because the nephew was a punk neighbor of the victim. I believe that was the fight and the dog attacked. Victim got hurt bad , or killed, and thrown out in the snow. Maybe the cover up is to protect the nephew.
It’s obvious that she’s been framed.
Possiby framed imo drunk
Not obvious!
If you watched pre-trail motions, you know it is a frame job.
Well all I can say is the prosecutor sucks bad 😂 and defense is doing it s job by raising doubt. This is gonna be a wild one that’s for sure…
I'm comming into this case with new eyes and know nothing about the case. I will hold judgement until i kniw more.
Trooper Proctor may resign tomorrow and head to the Philippines!
Why would she say something like "oh I hit him, did I hit him, blah blah" if it was murder, it's just illogical
she gave them an out ...
Trying to make it look like an accident I guess
@@yogabee2222 hours later ??
Which brings the next question, why even go back ? Guess that's part of the master plan too ?
@bettywillbrowse - maybe in a moment of panic, now sobering up and remembering that she hit him and admitting it out loud. Likely consulted a lawyer and was immediately told to shut up.
@bettywillbrowse - seems like A LOT of killers go back to see what’s going on. We’ve seen this in countless cases.
Dirty, corrupt cops. Maybe John knew a little too much and they wanted to silence him. I strongly believe Karen is innocent. She’s being framed.
I totally agree with you
Who is she a witness for? I can’t tell. I don’t know a lot about this case yet!
Prosecutor
Prosecution always goes first
6:49 all this was covered with questioning Johns brother!
Cops, EMT'S firefighters cover each other in general....
Yup, 💯 It’s a brotherhood!
Hope you don’t call if you ever need them
not true.
Not really.
@@susanwhalls6230hope you don't ever have this happen to you.
My theory is they argued all the way from Waterfall bar to friends house. He gets out of the car at the friends house, she's p!ssed and pulls away, he falls in the snow. For some reason she decides to reverse at 24 mph (as per the vehicle computer) doesn't see him getting up and hits him as he is getting up which would explain the injuries to his head, torso and arm (and broken tail light). She takes off thinking he'll just get up and go into the friends house. When she wakes up in the morning and can't reach him she remembers hitting him and panics, calls friends who take her to the friends house where they find him lying in the snow as she is said to be saying" I hit him, I hit him".
As a mother who recently lost a son, my heart is with his mother, father and brother. So hard to see his mother in tears at the beginning. The immature courtside cheerleading and ridiculous immature carryon by the 'fans, their conspiracy theories' they need to start respecting those whose son died.
Nothing more immature than the crooked cops who are trying to frame an innocent person for murder. Using tragedy to garner sympathy doesn't prove she's guilty.
Thank you! This is the first comment that I've read that actually has some sense to it. I don't buy all of their bull crap about her being set up I think the simplest explanation is that she left him and then when she realized what had happened she panicked.

Absolutely.
The DA Lost the Jury in 20 minutes here.
The fatal mistake he created a soap opera story and the Poor police work is overt with lots holes in their B-Rate police work to build their accusations. .

Agree
She’s guilty as sin. Learn to read. How utterly embarrassing you should be. Factually incorrect. Is this the supposed expert journalist with the brain the size of a pea?
Karen Read is factually innocent.
Innocent??? You wouldn’t know what that means if it hit u in the nose. How absolutely ridiculous.

Older women don’t like Karen because they are insecure.
@@kathismith7441 Why do you think she’s guilty?
@@KWKennedy111 because the evidence tells us she’s guilty. She backed into him most likely an accident but now has made a mess of this case. Instead of just admitting what she did now she can’t get out of it. She admitted that she did it. She was drunk and angry.
She's innocent!!!!
Another strange thing is that when Julie Arnold [ Chris's wife, Colin's mother ] arrived at Brian Albert's house at atound 8:30 -9 ish to drip off a card abd donuts for his son's birthday, she did nit see any police, police cars, did not comment on seeing police tape nothing out of the ordinary. Where were the police ?
They were gone - no tape up - it was like no crime ever was there

So the Truth means nothing to you
Why are they witnesses? Were they there that night? I never understand why the people who should be put on the stand seem like they never are. All the people that were at the house that night should testify along with anyone who went bar hopping with them.
You don't have to be an eyewitness to be a witness. Witnesses are people that can testify as to their relationships with the defendant or the victim, and they can also testify as to the context of what was happening you don't have to be an eyewitness to be valuable to either side
Have you ever watched a trial? This comment is so ignorant 😆
@@chloek2207 I don't think they have.
It’s his sister what tf are you talking abt.
@@chloek2207 Here's some wisdom from Thumper: “If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all."
I don’t like Karen, she seems fishy and I have a bad vibe about her but at the end of the day, even if she was a bad girlfriend, doesn’t mean she is a killer, hopefully the jury will get it right and justice Wii be served
Maybe because it's her against the town of Canton. They are all connected to each other and she is the outcast.
Well then case closed 🙄🕵️♀️
I agree but I cannot put my finger on it and I don't know if its about her at all, or the circs.

He was a good looking guy but I don't believe she did this, he's definitely stronger, I just don't see it when she backed up she wasn't going fast enough to kill him
The prosecutor said in opening that the speed of KR’s vehicle was 20+mph in reverse. I wonder how they knew the speed of the vehicle? Does this make/model provide these details recapping that manoeuvre? (I recall in Alex Murdaugh trial the prosecution used this evidence).

Why weren't there print outs of the text messaging?!? Anyone could make up anything!!
It was only opening arguments. They’re coming.
You can’t make it up on your opening statement. The entire defense would be done and judge Bev wound have admonished him if she didn’t see herself.
Why did she say he is dead before anyone else knew
Just my opinion here…Because she’s the one that performed CPR on him. She felt how cold he was and she may have simply felt it in her gut.

I’m not aware of all of the ins and outs of both sides other than what each side is trying to suggest or trying to make the jury believe. I’ve said it a few times as I’m sure many has wondered or maybe somewhere just dismissing it. But for me if it comes out that someone inside of that house googled, how long for a body to die in the cold? It’s game over! No way could Karen have done it…period, case closed NG no matter what else is believed to be proven or not.
Someone involved in the cover up DID Google that exact thing. At 2 something a.m.
@@dianecharest8365 yes that’s what I have heard and am waiting for that to be proven…once that happens, it’s GAME OVER IMO 💥💯💥

Seems like they are not too friendly with the defence or Karen Read. I think they might know more then we do
In-laws over often.. they could have asked and taken kids for the day, their home, if they got permission.

Heart attack.
No questions by defense⁉️ What about," Why did you Google,"How long to die in cold⁉️"
Huh? No one who's accused of that has taken the stand, yet.
It was someone else who googled that. She is John’s sister in law.
That question needs to be directed at Jennifer McCabe... the sister in law to Mr Albert...
She betrayed Karen.
Yep she is Innocent!!
Is the trial over?
Vinnie Politan made a great point. Look at the reception Karen gets compared to John O’Keefe’s family. They lost their son. The poor Dad can barely make it up the stairs, and his mom is absolutely heartbroken. While Karen struts in like a celebrity. Clearly, the supporters are delusional. The victim is completely being forgotten in this case while the possible murderer is being regarded as a superstar. So weird!
Is this still live?????
Seems like johns brother or at least the wife, Erin, avoided Karen and John. I mean you’re in Aruba and you never meet up to enjoy time together? And always had an excuse bad weather, games, etc.
I thought that was odd, too, especially since they thought so highly of her and felt like they were friends with her.
Covid restrictions
@@waitwhat564 Certainly not during that whole time, especially not if they were going on vacation. Sis-in-law testified she was waiting on the bus for her kid(s) to get home, so covid wasn't then, as people had to homeschool, didn't they? Another time she said they were just going to hang out w/the neighbors cuz of the weather. For being close w/them, they certainly didn't hang out that often. I think she said once or twice a month, didn't she?
The witness sounds so angry and irritated. It’s weird.
He probably is. Hard to talk about a brother dying.
That defense attorney needs to get the Alberts on the stand
"as far as... hmm.. sort of ... sort of.."
I think Johnny had something going on with Jennifer McCabe ... she was the only person who invited him to the bar and the Alberts home... she was also the only one not trying to save Johnny's life and felt the need to control the narrative with 911 dispatch and the first responders...
She was always the link to the story.....I think the dog was let out to pee and attacked John, and he probably attempted to man handle the dog and pissed off the very tired, drunk narcissist Albert and things out of control quick.... to avoid lawsuits, they threw him at on the front lawn and inducted the story from there....
What is the motive for these cops setting her up? Why would they have killed John? Motive
scapegoat
Disagree with the host and first defense lawyer in particular. Ms. Read seems highly manipulative and Erin O'Keefe seems desperate for a friend.
