    VERDICT WATCH MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #35 Retrial

    I asked this question in a post yesterday, but it was during testimony, and the thread was moving quickly. So it went unanswered, which is understandable. I'm more or less copying it from my earlier post: I think early in this trial it was testified, perhaps by the cell phone data witness...

    @Elliot_Alderson, yes, of course I know they CW experts are paid. I haven't paid much attention to their testimony either.

    MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #34 Retrial

    I haven't been following the case as closely as many of you, and I did not follow the first trial. A friend from that area told me about the case. The friend thought she was not guilty, so I started following it with that in mind. However, I am leaning toward "guilty" for several of the...

    I am leaning toward guilty because I believe KR when she said she hit him. But I am considering all the evidence, and I think there could well be reasonable doubt. I have never driven a snow plow, but my own observations show that when such a vehicle plows a good deal of snow, a lot of it is...

    If I recall correctly, she testified that she denied being JM because she did not know they were FBI agents. She thought they may be salesmen of some sort.

    NY - UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot in Midtown. #10 *Arrest*

    Maybe now that he's not on the run, he is getting enough sleep, even on those flimsy mattresses, and eating regular meals, such as prison food is. And maybe being on the run was more psychologically stressful than actual captivity. He does look a little better. I said it in an earlier thread...

    NY - UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot in Midtown. #10 *Arrest*

    Well, I did not say it was THE world capital, I said it was A world capital, which I think is an indisputable fact by many measures. There are several cities that are also considered world capitals: London, Tokyo, Paris, Berlin, Beijing, Mexico City, Toronto (with apologies to Ottawa, the true...

    NY - UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot in Midtown. #10 *Arrest*

    As a lifelong NYCer, I don't see it that way. NYC may be very liberal when it comes to voting, but it is somewhat provincial and conservative when it comes to business and commerce. This was an assassination of a big-time corporate CEO. If corporate CEOs are going to be offed on the streets of...

    NY - UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot in Midtown. #10 *Arrest*

    I don’t know if Penn would give credit for AP courses. The college my kids went to wasn’t Ivy League but considered “top tier” and it didn’t give credits for AP . It did allow the student to skip a required course , let’s say English 101 if you had a 5 in English AP, but would not award actual...

    NY - UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot in Midtown. #10 *Arrest*

    Very coincidentally, I started to read Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" just around the time the BT murder occurred. The book was written in 1866 in Russia. There are several striking parallels between the protagonist-murderer in the novel and LM. The C&P murderer is a young brilliant man...

    I read somewhere last night, maybe in the San Franciso Standard, that the grandparents had 38 grandchildren as of 2008. That's a lot of heirs. Sorry that I cannot provide a link.

    dbm. According to @MassGuy's response to me below, I misread the document. Thanks, @MassGuy.

    NY - UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot in Midtown. #7 *Arrest*

    I'm puzzled by how someone suffering from chronic back pain could go on such an odyssey which could be very physically painful: Riding on rocky buses for very long distances, sleeping on slim mattresses in hostels, rushing away on a bike and riding it at warp speed through Central Park...

    NY - UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot in Midtown. #6

    Absolutely he is. If you look at the taxi photo you can make out the outline of the dark gaiter mask underneath the medical mask.
