Spelling of last name of Karen Read incorrectly spelled at times.
TERRY DUNN MEURER Actually, this project came to me. I had only heard briefly about Karen Reed. The attorneys representing Karen Reed were looking for someone to follow them through the pre-trial and trial process. So I quickly did some research about the case and I was amazed at how there were two strong sides to this case. I hopped on a zoom with Karen and Alan [Jackson] and three weeks later, I was in Boston and we were filming.
MEURER That was a defense strategy. Karen, in the film, talks about how there wasn’t much buzz about this case in the traditional media. So they reached out to independent journalists, hoping they could light a fire under this. And they were very instrumental in creating the social media dialogue, vitriol, if you will. That is this case. We call them the pinks and the blues. The pro-Karen Read people wear pink. And the people that support John O’Keefe and his family and friends and the prosecution side, they wear blue.
MEURER Turtleboy is getting a lot of clicks, and he is making a lot of money off this situation — trial number one and now heading into trial number two. There’s financial and exposure gain for him, and Turtleboy isn’t the only one. A lot of the bloggers are hopping on, as it’s about money and clicks. But Turtleboy is tapping into something. All these people are following him. He’s almost like a cult leader. He tapping into something, specifically in the Karen Reed case, this idea that the system is corrupt and we’re not going to take it anymore.
