Alcohol + Anger = People doing nonsensical things. IMHO I don't think she set out to murder him but I think they were arguing on their way to the house and she told him to GTFO and sped off hitting him in the process. She goes home and then has an oh crap moment and goes out looking for him because she knows something happened.
I am local and have followed the case but am not able to watch the trial.
I believe the state is claiming not that she sped off and in the process of leaving the scene hit him but rather that she purposely put the car into reverse and backed into him - and BAM she killed him. Hence the discussion of was there a broken tail light on her vehicle and when was it broken.
I am not a big fan of Karen Read but I think who she is or isn’t is neither here nor there. If you are blackout drunk you may be capable of a lot of things ..or not. Some people who are the nicest people are mean drunks so hard to say.
What does the evidence show.
I am waiting for ANYONE to show me that those injuries were caused by a vehicle backing into him. Bc right now I can’t reconcile that at all
Other things nag at me:
-All the cozy relationships between all the party goers
-The supposed bad blood between the male ( presumably drunk and whatever) teens at the house and O’Keefe
-Proctor- his whole demeanor and an “investigation” so not by the book
-That google search at 230 am ish RE how long to die in the cold
-I want to see in court the JO phone info also - did he enter the house
-The plow guy - two times he drives by and sees no body - he is prob one of the only people not related or connected to LE somehow
- whose car was seen parked on the street in the spot where JO’s body was found?
-The rehomed dog
-Didn’t all the carpet and flooring etc get ripped up in the lower floor of the party house in a remodel before they sold it? That would have been the rec room / man cave/ party room right? Were there blood stains etc that needed to be gotten rid of?
Those are just a few that come to mind.
I am a big taxpayer here and hate to see that my money was wasted so badly on a sham investigation.
JO and his family deserve justice and to know what happened to their son.
