2:53:53 WTF?! How was this case ever brought to trial??!!!
Right!? This keeps getting more and more outrageous
Yanetti's "We're done here" was just seething under the surface. Wish I could have seen his face then.
Has big "I'm finished with this guy" energy.Yannetti channeling Vinnie
@@ewoodley82absolutely and I love it
Omg I’m so intrigued to see what he’s does with Jen
The new drink at the waterfall is called amnesia
Imagine if they created a cocktail and called it Crossexamnesia! 😂😂
@@garykidson4489It’s a crystal light with a splash of white claw
John O'Keefe deserves the best of the best investigation, especially as he was a police officer. The LE/judge/prosecution and everyone else has shown no respect or even an ounce of empathy/sympathy for John. So far I've seen NOTHING except for the defense trying to prove "something" happened.
I've solved the mystery of what happened. IMOO, here's the list of paranormal activity at the Albert's home/yard/lawn. A little bit of frustrated humor.
1) It was the "object" that morphed into a 6' blob that answered and butt dialed the phones. It's the "object" that possessed the dog and made the dog answer/butt dialed the phones.
2) Karen dropped off John, he disappeared, then appeared later on the lawn, missing hat, shoe, belt.
3) Hat/shoe suddenly appeared....belt still missing.....maybe the "entity" will drop it off later?
4) Disappearing/appearing jeep with snow plow attached. 3 people saw it, 5 people didn't.
5) No one saw a single pc of tail light, then suddenly 45 pcs appeared.
6) The 1 st set of officers said they didn't go in the house, just stood by the door.....suddenly they are by the foot of the stairs and in the dining room.
7) Jen Mccabe was calm throughout the entire time when they found John, EMT/FF/LE......but as soon as she enters the house, she was hysterical and even "busted" down a door.......definitely paranormal "something" in that house.
8) The dog has disappeared.
9) The LE was also possessed by the "object", because after 20/30 years of experience of being a police officer, they forgot how to process crime scene, deal with witnesses, collect evidence etc.
10) The plumbing suddenly flooded the entire basement....so it had to be totally re-constructed, from corner to corner and even parts of the walls.
11) It was the "object" entity that put BA/NA and the dog into a VERY deep sleep, that they didn't hear any commotion, see any lights etc.
12) MM has night vision when he saw SUV, tire marks, jeep when he was at the paranormal house, but can't read text in courtroom.
Yup, that pretty much sums it up!
"Have him tell them the guy never went in the house" is the new "how long to die in cold."
These people are idiots. It's disturbing what a farce this all is. So much money wasted, and Karen's life ruined.
And they never once showed any single bit of sadness speaking about John or the fact that someone passed away on their property. Not to even mention the fact that he was a fellow police officer and a buddy of theirs? Very very strange! Seems to me like Jen is so thrilled to flame Karen about any and everything regardless of its relevance or actual intent.
I mean the statement is concerning because why are they so concerned about the house?? Two days after the incident way before the defence start pointing at them. I mean don't be suspicious moment 😂
It really shows how much they cared about him. Imagine someone you know dying and you call them "the guy". Insane
@@dermegger7733 they might have thought they would evade blame if they don’t use names.
They’ve spent SO much time on the SUV- yet not one person has said they saw Karen in the SUV, not one person can say for sure that it was Karen’s SUV. He can see tire tracks in the snow, but has no idea if Higgins big white snow plow Jeep was out there? Don’t even get me started on how hard it is to get a big heavy SUV up to 27mph in reverse within 62 feet with a curve in the road in the middle of a blizzard. Mass. Should be so embarrassed with bringing this to court! Then look at the evidence collection, storage, chain of custody, lack of actual interviews, not collecting their cell phones, leaving blood evidence open & near the back of her suv….like COME ON?! Then the text “tell them THAT guy didn’t come in the house” in contrast with the complete lack of empathy on the stand?!? Dismissal!!!
You’re so right! You nailed it all right there in the paragraph! It’s a dead end when it comes to Karen. It wasn’t her and I strongly believe that he got hurt by someone at that house
Actually , more than one person saw Karen in her SUV, they say. The truck of the kids at the intersection, and a few people leaving saw her sitting in it. But yes, all the evidence collection I’m sure will be thrown out by jurors. People keep saying they want the blood evidence- but why? It’s completely compromised ! You can’t trust it.
@56:38 David asks: “with the court’s permission”…..indicating put something up on the screen. McCabe immediately starts looking around where he is sitting for something. What is he looking for? The laser pointer? Is this his first time being asked to use the laser pointer in this trial? If so, how did he know that he would be asked to use the laser pointer if he had not been discussing testimony with previous witnesses??
Surprised you did NOT notice his facial expression and the shaking on the hands when handed the last group chat. But nice coverage as always. "Dont be suspicious"🤣
I found your channel from Lawyer you know. I REALLY enjoy watching your recaps. I watched the recaps backwards, as I’ve been following the trial from Emily D. Baker. Your recaps and has definitely given me some interesting perspectives, especially as it’s so easy to tune out the prosecution LOL. The prosecutor is killing me, the way they are presenting their case is so disorganized and not easy to follow. Thanks for your coverage!
Coming back to watch Jenn's testimony when i can zoom zoom past the irrelevant info from beginning. I have a hard time when i see lay witnesses looking at jury so much. Could be nothing but its hit me with a few witnesses
We have over under bets on how many side bars there will be in one day of testimony
After watching so many witnesses having no memory for certain time periods, as a juror, I’d judge him the same.
Absolutely
So, real talk, how many of you watching the VOD just skipped right past the first bit of direct?
I have been doing exactly that since the second week started.
GASP the judge said "What if any"! She has contracted a case of Lallyitis
His statement, I’m not going out there (where Karen was screaming) seems like a natural kale reaction to a hysterical woman. Parents letting the other parent deal -sort of thing.
1:13:47 So prosecution can waste our whole afternoon on nonsense testimony that has no bearing, but defence can’t hammer a witness for a simple clarification of conflicting facts that they’re being incredible obtuse about?
Right!!
I despise this judge. So bias, irritable, patronising, rude. If I were a juror I’d be pissed at her attitude and messing about with side bars and sorting stuff.
Karen doing the CPR, lifting his shirt to warm him up got the snow off from top of John.
She was trying to warm him up and jen was acting like that was crazy????
That says so much to me
I think you’re right Alyte. He’s bringing out certain response tendencies.
I find this judge infuriating, she allows state thier time to ask questions then harries defence to move along most of the time 🙄
When are we getting to the autopsy so his injuries are clear in the minds of the jury. It seems they are deliberately delaying them.
I have a feeling that they're delaying the experts because the evidence is weak or conflicts with what the Alberts etc have said.
My guess is they want to end with that to end strong. But that still doesn't explain why they call 95465523895674653456 useless other witnesses first.
I cannot get enough of watching Matty physically deteriorate as he sees the train coming and knows he can’t get out of the tunnel. The sweating. Shaking. Throat closing up. Attempts at smiling as if he didn’t have a care in the world.
Tell them the guy never went in the house Mark that statement down that's going to come back to bite them big time
Q: I remember where I was and what was happening when the space shuttle exploded, I remember where I was and what was happening when 911 happened. I feel with these experiences, that if a dead body was found in my yard, I would remember a lot more than these prosecution witnesses appear to remember. I mean that is a shocking event. What are your thoughts on cases like this that happened years before? Do they really not remember details??? (Keeping in mind the cross examnesia!)
Same so very much!
Thanks for the gifted !!
All the lawyers need to speak into the microphones
Monitoring the scene.
He comes across as a voyeur.
He comes across as staking-out the ‘scene’ with the purpose of information gathering.
@@JosephBroughton Also he "happened to drive by". Fairview Road is on a very empty road on the outer edge of Canton. Not what you'd call a regular route. He took a detour because he wanted to see what was going on there.
@@JosephBroughton oh yes!
Love ur coverage as always! I find the judges sighing, patronising laugh & attitude at 2:50:35 unprofessional & biased. 😢
Same and she’s not very professional regarding this trial and maybe we do need a new judge.
Pretty much when any important questions are asked almost every witness has a problem remembering. Why would this witness, "who is part of the group", be any different.
Yeah Alyte! How can you “focus” on one vehicle but the other is so unimportant, you don’t remember if it was even there during this time period.
Second witness to not know anything about any car anywhere at all, yet somehow they very specifically remember Karen's car moving multiple times.
@@hkr667 Selective memory?
This judge is very rude.. I’ve never seen a judge act like this.
My closing argument would all be based around the "tell them he was never in the house". Repeated over and over. That's reasonable doubt right there imho
Time to open the sidebar all cocktails half price
The “we instructed” was because Chris was never at the house so they are making sure he knows John was never in the house.
Judge isnt hangry, she us fuming with how daming these text messages look. And its so blatantly obvious.... i cannot believe she cant just be pulled from this case and its up to HER to recuse. What kind of fair justice system is that?
“I’m not biased, honest”
She’s “Aunt Bev” to the Albert Teens and young adults they so. Isn’t that kind of a huge thing? Is it true?
I am so done with her. She has been bitching for 3 weeks about the chaos of evidence labeling that her court failed to clarify themselves. She took a full week to supposedly decide about Katie McLaughlin and Caitlin Albert's social media photo's, then it turned out she decided fook all and wanted to take it pic by pic. Now she refuses to let Yanetti show the texts on screen, which would speed up everything so much, then bitches that it takes too long to point out the texts and that she doesn't have a copy. She's a serpent and she's going to get an innocent woman in jail.
It drives me nuts that prosecutor starts a question and then switches to a dif question in the middle of his first one like a million times. So confusing
11 side bars today
Judge trying her hardest to keep those texts out today.
@@marcopalazzo9349 She is just going to hate when all the defences experts are called to the stand. How she reacts to them and Lallys objections ìs going to be more telling for the jury...imo.
@@nicoljane3083 today the judge really pissed me off, ok I'm not saying she is biased but she just annoys me.
@@marcopalazzo9349 She's not coming across as neutral at all to me. I know she is worried about the jury finding out about the Fed investigation running simultaneously with the trial. She comes across as being on tenterhooks every day I've wondered could this be the reason why.
He could see tire marks in the dark but not the text messages he's holding??
Haaaa! Great question!!!
I had to pop over from EDB cuz i just could not with Lally and Jen McCabe right now, i need a break from this. Will probably wait till cross exam of her cuz i just cant.
Hoooooooooo boy that group text though...
I also love how all these people are testifying to seeing the SUV out front, nobody came in, and not a single one of them thought to check to see if everything was okay or even to call John or Karen's cell phones to see if they needed help with something. If I saw a friend parked in front of my house but they weren't coming inside, I'd go check. If they drove off, I would absolutely call them. No universe would I just go on with my night.
Yeah good point. Especially because the mccabes explained the route to them.
How can you object to a written text that's right in front of you
I love how I've seen multiple people refer to the defense as "the prosecutor" or the "the prosecution" because it literally feels through this whole case that Jackson and Yanetti are the prosecutor and that the state is The Defense. The state hasn't shown any evidence that Karen read killed him, hasn't shown any evidence that he was even hit by a car, how it happened, how his wounds were caused by this vehicle but his body is intact or why the vehicle seems fine, how it never ran him over but instead bumped him 12 feet into the snow, into his back with his cell phone under him. We haven't heard from the medical examiner or heard the manner of death, we haven't heard from the accident reconstructionist. Its been 3 weeks n they will go a whole day and day Karen's name once, John gets lost in the whole thing and they don't ever address him as officer O'Keefe. Most days I forget that Karen's life is on the line because it's just a crucifixion of the Albert family and the abysmal work that the police did and they just look worse with each witness. I always think how it can't get any worse n then I wake up for cross and watch the stage get annihilated. How was this able to happen?? This is a travesty. A part of me hopes that Bev will drop the case after the state rests bc they have nothing, but I'm Dying to see the defense out on their case in chief! Its going to be epic.
Oh! He’s the one that saw a curve in the tire tracks? Ahhh.
@3:17:28 Lallygag asks Jen to describe her relationship with Karen. Listen to everything she says refers to their relationship in the past tense!
I did not like that he spent almost an hr on where the cars were parked. It feels like he buried the lead.
Hey Jennifer McCabe where do you want us to put the broom that you came in on
Best comment ever
You missed his omg statement by fast forwarding
Using poker tells- seems like when he defended himself with “he never went in the house” seems like a bluff with partial truth in it. Like saying “I don’t have an ace” (but actually holding two aces). Maybe John got dropped off, they didn’t let him in for some stole your girl drama and was taken to the back yard.
2:02:19 if you look at the paper Matthew McCabe is holding, you see it's still. His hand is steady as a rock.
2:41:31 Now that paper is shaking like the Dickens! It's almost like he knows he's cooked.
Brian Higgins was the first oerson at the Albert House as Brain Albert stated he had to get him to reverse off the drive so he wouldn't bloke him in then after that nobody saw his truck in the road or on the drive apart from Mr Smirky..
Suspicious to me is that Matt seems not at all nervous to be in court.... And tho a guy died and the grieving family is watching he's remembering things so very casual even happy?
Why do they say black SUV and not ask if it was a Lexus SUV?
J. Nagel admitted she was very intoxicated.
The boredom in this day of testimony is through the roof
Okay, but saying "John never came into the house" versus "Tell them that guy never came into the house" are two vastly different statements. I could see someone in shock sending the first one to their group just reiterating they never saw him, but the second one is weird.
I hear the second as frustration, especially if they are getting harassed, which I'm not sure they were. But there is definitely some callousness there and if it was the only thing I could maybe write it off. But that on top of everything else does seem suspicious. Maybe my brain struggles so much to believe guilty ppl would put such things down in writing to be discovered that I am willing to attach whatever other meanings to it, but they could have thought no one would ever get their phones.
@origamikiddo2625 they absolutely never thought in the days directly after, that they would be investigated to the point they are. They've probably gotten away with soo much before with two cops in family. I think they expected karen to just take it, because of her initial reaction of "could I have hit him" plus they had a state cop to literally plant evidence and choose who was or wasn't investigated.
@@brittanytyler8825 Exactly this..also at this point no one knew Collin had been even been at the house.
There's an off chance that that text could be without any malice, but why even mention it at all? If it was true and John never came inside, they would all know that. They were all inside that house together. There's no need at all the even mention that specific point. But everyone in this case has been sus.
Also, no one ever remembers any time, hell some don't even seem to remember they exist, yet they are all very very sure about what time everyone arrived and at what time they left that house. 12:10, like clockwork, every single time. It's the most suspicious time in the whole of Canton.
I thought you had to explain WHY you are objecting. Leading, Hearsay, Relevance etc.... But this judge just seems to make a ruling based on "objection" Is that normal or proper @legalbytes
The prosecutor also shows the grand jury evidence. They don’t just tell you what happened. Lots of expert witnesses.
But no cross examination.
I know she answers the live feeds during the trial but does she answer comments as well does anybody know? I have a question. Why did everybody say that they didn’t talk to family members or have conversations with anybody about the case but then when McCabe got up there he said of course we all talk about the case as a family?
She does answer questions during live streams but very rarely does she respond to comments after the stream.
why didn't he ask how much the mccabes drank that night.
This witness looks like he needs baby wipes
Matt Macabe texted:CA(telling the ppl he's)texting just say(The guy never came in)😅*
Matt is a player
So his texts being represented out of context but the I hit him stuff is being represented perfectly in context. This family knows for a fact he wasn’t in the house But can remember anything else. Why is she charged with murder if she hit him it was clearly an accident. Talk about over charging someone they should have just went all out and go for first degree murder.
It’s clear to me Karen Reed is innocent. This should just be canceled. Is it a consensus that while we’re here let’s see whatever else comes up? After all everyone has been practicing sounding like no lies here. Look away not me.
Hello! Can you add time stamps to breaks please? I really want to hear what you say and it's easier if there's a time stamp.
Whats with this guy? It’s his testimony. He wants Y to explain his own description. Is it his bias bringing out an argumentative stance?
3:18:56
Exactly
Kangaroo court. Karen Read is being railroaded.
😱😱😱😱😱😱”say he never went into the house”!!!😱😱😱
It’s worse… called him “the guy”- “tell them the guy never went in the house”. How do you refer to a “friend” that died a month ago, “the guy”
@@subtletactics Yeah it's weird. They are distancing, which you would not do if a supposed friend of you recently died.
Who is the woman sitting right next to the witness stand talking into that white thing? 2:01:37
Court Reporter dictating what is being said.
Oh I thought court reporters type what is being said..
@@nani-qx4rr There are different ways they can do it. The machine she’s using uses technology that auto types the words out. You have to train the machine to learn your voice and way you say words etc.
I don’t think defense was having issues with what they printed. Mccabe claimed to have good vision then didn’t seem to have good near… or far….vision, so how is he seeing so much at night, including (supposedly) tire tracks, yet doesn’t see a 6 ft man in white snow. The judge wanted to skim over it “of course.”
I think she wanted to be involved and important so she lied
How's that side feel around your neck right about now
As a man(he's rather gossipy)like a woman!😅Weird*
I have to disagree I understand what you’re saying about it being annoying asking questions that we don’t care about, but he’s trying to prove consistency and show that they’re all telling the same story. He’s showing that they’re all answering the same to these minutia questions ,whether they matter or not it demonstrates honesty. Also to your point regarding Karin‘s drink, you said that By the prosecution stressing this question it’s benefiting the defense, I also disagree with that statement, he’s trying to show a sneaky behavior, she took a drink from another location, brought it in a car which is illegal, open container, and then snuck it into another bar which is bad news and against the rules of the bar. It shows a level of deceit and non-abiding by the law behavior. So I completely understand him stressing that. I would as a lawyer you would catch onto that the same way. Don’t you think it’s important for him to try to make her look unreliable? How can you think that it benefits the defense? I would love an answer, I write here a lot because I really enjoy what you put out and I never have any responses from you or your followers. Xoxo thank you for all you do and for putting this out for us to enjoy.
She may be a cheap bar visitor, but so far out of all the party-goers that night Karen probably drank the least. Yet several cops had no issue driving home intoxicated. Also it doesn't prove murder. If the prosecution has any evidence for that, then show it, don't stall the trial with the small stuff.
And as far as consistency on the minutia goes, I don't care about the minutia, but I'd love some consistency on the important parts. Like who was where, and when. And what did you tell the investigator. Yet defense has shown the witnesses aren't consistent on that at all.
lf they had 2get their story right,it's definitely a cover-up;)*
