I am new to this case and I just started watching the trial. I'm on Day 10 (so way behind the rest of you), and I know a little bit about theories from skimming the websleuths feed. I've been trying not to look at details and documents outside of what is presented at trial. I've been watching the Albert family testimony. I'm kind of thinking the presentation of witnesses is brilliant. At this point, I haven't heard anything about the circumstances of his death nor much about his injuries other than head trauma and cuts on his arm with a broken cocktail glass found. From the cross examination of the Alberts, I honestly can't figure out what the defense is trying to get me to think. They seem to be implying Kaitlin did something, Colin did something, Brian Higgins did something....all the while I'm on day 10 of the trial and have no clue what the evidence is regarding the who, what, when or how he died. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't even know what to be suspicious of in regards to the Albert family since I don't know anything about John O'Keefe's death (other than opening statements...which I tend to disregard in favor of actual evidence). On the flip side, there hasn't been any evidence against Karen Read either. For all I know, the man could have been stumbling around outside drunk and fallen and hit his head incapacitating him which resulting in death by hypothermia.
I'm sure there is real evidence coming on both sides, but this has been a really slow pace to get to the point.
