MISTRIAL MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #16

[TTF14]

“Paul O'Keefe also addressed an exchange he had in the courtroom with Read minutes after the mistrial was declared.”

“Throughout the trial, she liked to turn and look at me and smirk. She has never once made eye contact with my wife, Erin. So when the mistrial was announced, she turned and looked right at Erin and gave her a smirk, and then went over and was hugging and celebrating to some extent," Paul O'Keefe said. "And I just said, you know, 'You are not done yet.'"

Hmmmm. I don't believe this.

Speaking about POK's interview, specifically his reasoning for suspecting Karen on Jan 29th. Per his statement, it was his wife Erin who put the doubt in play, due to KR's quickly leaving the OK residence after returning from the hospital. Was that around ten or eleven am? What is not mentioned in there however, is Jen McCabe's 'version' of events had already been swirling in the air by then. JMC had contacted EVERYONE she could think of, including JOK's family. That information is included in her call log history, as long as she didn't delete it that is.

Do you think KR felt that 'funny feeling' that everyone is looking at you, and thinks you are an alcoholic murderer by that time? I would have. IMO

Poor Paul...he just can't see the trees..

Idk about anyone here, but I can't pass judgment on how or what she was feeling and why she didn't want to stay in JOK house after released from the hospital. However I can speak to wanting to be comforted by your own family, specifically parents. I know when something traumatic happens to me I want comfort from my parents and grandparents. I do not have that option anymore, but still where I would like to be. I am just not going nefarious because she didn't want to be in the house with his family. MOO

Is the KR footage with her lawyer the video/discussion that was removed? Or, was it something to do with the turtle and/or blogger?

I saw a note that something was removed - but it doesn't help if we don't know the topic.

That is a great interview and my heart breaks for the O'K family.

Hearing Paul O'Keefe's side, I understand why they feel the way they do. Karen essentially was taking responsibility for doing it until she didn't. And distancing herself immediately is a very odd response to the circumstances.

From their perspective, it's going to be different because they lived it. The rest of us are kind of working backwards and not really putting ourselves in their shoes to truly imagine what it is like to have this shocking event happen in your family, and one of the last people who saw him is talking about needing to remember the bad times - which is completely rational to take as needing to feel better about them being gone. This is also not a typical reaction.

If your significant other passes away, you wouldn't say, "let me remember all the fights so I feel better about their death." If anything, you will feel regret and sorrow about your last interaction being a giant blowup and not ever getting a chance to make it right with them.

So, yea, I understand why the family feel the way that they do. Nothing Karen did made sense that morning, including thinking she had hit him before actually getting into the car and hitting John's SUV. Oh well. I hope that they can find some peace somewhere, somehow. It's going to be a long road.

Agree with you. It's not what I saw going on in that courtroom for weeks.
