IIRC
Didn’t the defense claim Chloe was “disappeared” ?

I suspect Chloe was only "disappeared" when the defence wanted access.

I suspect Chloe was only "disappeared" when the defence wanted access.

The Albert's testified Chloe was sent to a farm in Vermont. It was never made clear AFAIK why they didn't find Chloe to test during the first trial.

Yeah, to be expected I guess. The family of the misogynist take his side, while as usual Karen Read is the monster and trickster. Don 't let the state of JOK's body, his lack of bruising, the credible ARCA evidence, the symmetrical claw like marks with no evidence of tail light bits in them; don't let any of that get in the way of the irrational persecution of this woman, the illogical conviction that she murdered JOK with her car. Seriously, I'm over this witch hunt. Jmo.

I thought, is THIS, THEY, for real? Yes, that's them. His sister was in a text with him as well, wishing KR dead, so.

Yeah...so. It's a mass hysteria or something, just like a witch hunt; the turn of phrase is completely appropriate for what's going on here IMO.

Wow -- how charming. SMH

From OP's quoted MSM link:

"At the end of the day, a beloved police officer and honorable man was killed. The Prosecution believes it’s an open and shut case, and the defense knows this, too. So, their tactic is to put my husband, the lead investigator, on trial for sending texts on his personal phone to his friends and family," Proctor's wife, Elizabeth Proctor, said in her statement. "The Karen Read defense team is unabashedly creating false narratives and distracting the public and potential jurors from clear-cut evidence."

His wife also said the family has been "tormented for years" and expects additional blowback in the wake of the new statements. They say it is time to "focus on the real perpetrator."

I thought that there was a Gag order in place. No?
Isn't Elizabeth Proctor by marriage included in the order, since she is 'speaking' on Michael Proctor's behalf? He, of the still employed and under review Commonwealth, by way of the MSP? Curious....

Seems the recent gag order only applies to Lawyers here:

Judge Beverly Cannone has issued a gag order on the lawyers involved in the Karen Read retrial, restricting them from sharing information that could influence potential jurors or compromise an impartial trial.

I guess proctor's wife is good with him talking trash about other women.

I'm reading many view the Proctor family statement as evidence that he's about to be acquitted by the disciplinary board, and they're being vengeful!

IMO, I think if that was the case, he'd be toeing the line today and keep his mouth shut (and tell his family to remain silent/ST_U)! I think speaking out today says the complete opposite. We know he's still on the CW witness list released today, and I can't recall a case where the government's witness announced a press conference.

What's wrong with these people??? JMO

We know what's wrong with them and it's not law-abiding.

I was looking through the CW's witness list. Notably absent: Trooper Paul.
He of the " It just did" statement, while testifying to the manners and mechanisms of the CW's Karen Read did it theory in Trial 1.

Moment Karen Read found bombshell evidence that 'proves cop cover-up'

The accused killer told ID in its upcoming series, in an exclusive clip obtained by DailyMail.com, about the moment that a 'highly incriminating' Google search was uncovered.

Karen Read has spoken out about the moment that bombshell evidence came to light that she claims proves her innocence in the death of her Boston cop boyfriend - and instead proves a sprawling police cover-up.

The accused killer told ID in its upcoming series ‘A body in the snow: The trial of Karen Read,’ in an exclusive clip obtained by DailyMail.com, that a cellphone expert had unearthed a ‘highly incriminating’ Google search on another individual’s phone.

‘Hos long to die in cold,’ it read.

The Google search, according to the defense team’s cellphone expert Richard Green, was made on Jennifer McCabe’s phone at 2.27am on January 29 2022.

Hours later, at around 6am that morning, Read, McCabe and a third woman found Read’s boyfriend John O’Keefe lying in the snow in the middle of a blizzard outside the home of Boston Police Officer Brian Albert.

Federal judge denies Karen Read's request to drop 2 charges, question jurors

A federal judge has denied Karen Read's request to drop two charges against her and said Judge Cannone was not wrong in declaring a mistrial.

www.cbsnews.com

Counts 1 and 3​

Read contended she was actually acquitted on two of the three charges, after jurors came forward after the first trial.

Judge Saylor said there is no basis to conclude that any agreement was final, because it was not reported in open court.

"Accordingly, and as a matter of federal constitutional law, petitioner was not actually acquitted of any of the relevant offenses," Saylor said.

“The issues presented by the petition are limited to those arising under the federal Constitution — specifically, whether a retrial would constitute double jeopardy in violation of petitioner’s rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments,” F. Dennis Saylor IV, chief judge of Massachusetts U.S. District Court, wrote in the ruling on Thursday.
