    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 think their aim (on that topic) is for significantly more than a mere clarification. I expect they feel entitled to more sanction-ness and more complete elaboration of the truth that Wolfe did NOT get that wrong at all, in light of the deliberateness of Brennan's lie. Brennan told the lie to...

    Shady Lady, the claim that the defense had some sort of burden to present and prove who did this if not KR is spectacularly wrong, and in fact explicitly contrary to MA law. The defense CAN BE allowed to suggest a specific alternate killer(s), but only by permission that must be granted in...

    "with no evidence" -- Actually, this is one ruling in which JudgeB ruled fairly and got it right. And, while it would be nice for KR to have the legal mind of Bederow on staff, adding him to the team created potential pitfalls for both KR and TB. (Bederow is TB's attorney IIUC.) JudgeB's ruling...

    Thank you for all this. The ideas being aired here (and in court too?) that try to account for the "36 steps" coming from JOK being propelled in the air, or his phone being tossed, doesn't fit the way the Steps Counter devices work as I understand it. (I have never owned or used one, so I am...

    MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #33 Retrial

    SHORT ANSWER - No. The defense has NOT said they agree to that time and location for those actions by KR's vehicle. FURTHER EXPLANATION - All that is tied to the terminology of "key cycle 1162" and where and when it occurred. The cw has claimed a specific time for 1162, placing it somewhere in...

    MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #32 Retrial

    I have some personal experience in this sort of context that might be relevant. About 15 years ago, there was a city in Texas (a bedroom suburb to Dallas, and about the same population as Canton), that tried to do some legal shenanigary to take some land we own using eminent domain and basically...

    I think it's important for us to recognize that the def this time around is much more focused on showing that KR did NOT do it -- could not have, the evidence says something completely different - while being VERY non-specific as to a particular alternate scenario of what happened. Re KR - each...

    Yes the cw has come up with some so-called experts this time around. As for the quality of their testimony and testing, I'm sure cw fans will shower praise, of course. Me? I found it really lacking in reliability due to credibility concerns for Burgess (both in his untruths as well as the fact...

    MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #32 Retrial

    In case anyone is wondering, those snippets from that hearing are about the broader federal investigation into the KR case, and certainly not any indication of some problem with the def's actions at all. The cw's decision to (a) be dismissive of the information gleaned from that investigation...

    AZ - Lori Vallow Daybell charged w/ conspiring to kill ex-husband Charles Vallow and another relative, Brandon Boudreaux, Chandler, Maricopa County #5

    LVD is a narcissist with a complete self focus - no question whatsoever. In general, I see no benefit to ever cater to her whims. And I think the judge is very aware that LVD - in general, and in her similarity to how prisoners can be - could be faking or just lazy and not wanting to...

    This was and is a big nothing burger even though Brennan wanted to make it into something shady. As it turned out (by ALL the testimony and evidence that was given in the voir dire), ALL the texts and messages (of which there were only about 100 iirc, over the span of several months) were...

    "In MO0 KR wasn’t really friends with the people and wasn’t sure if she was truly invited or wanted to see what the crowd was like...JO was supposed to go inside and check out the vibes or whatever and then text/call KR to come inside. That’s why she was parked outside for 10 minutes. And why...

    MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #31 Retrial

    My strong takeaway from the testimony so far is that he went in the house. From there, I only see inferences, and enough to make me think his demise must have happened in there. But all we know is he was found later on the lawn, dead. But because none of that home or those people were given...
