MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #22 Retrial

I watched a clip from the doc that startled me a bit. It was when KR stated something to the effect of being "over it now" and just looking to save herself. At first, I was like wow...that makes her look cold. But then I thought about it from a perspective of an innocent person.

So my boyfriend has been stringing me along while I'm the babysitter with benefits. He criticizes me for spoiling his kids and how I discipline them, yet still continues to leave them in my care, while sleeping with me at night. His family and friends hate me. I am even looking at other guys at this point, because it seems as though my relationship is about to end soon. I beg him to just let me go if that's the case, yet he keeps coming back. This push and pull has been going on for 2 years and at this point, I'm pretty tired of it. I love him, but I am not happy.

I decide to go ahead and meet up with him as "I'm his ride" for the night. I am uncomfortable around his friends, so I drink more than I probably should. I'm trying to have a good time. But it gets to be around midnight and it's time to go home. Bar is closing. I can't wait to get to John's house after a long day and go to sleep. But upon leaving, he insists on going to an afterparty. I really don't want to go and really don't think I'm invited. He goes in the house and goes dark. Won't text or call back, so I leave, really angry at this point and wondering all sorts of crazy things about what is happening in that house.

I get home, promptly pass out and wake up a few hours later, still in a fog and he's not home. I can't even remember what happened. I frantically call around and search for him and yes, I'm wondering like crazy, could I have him him, especially after finding his body on the grass at 34F. I go crazy and am admitted to the hospital, where no one will speak to me. My boyfriend, who I loved as much as I was annoyed with, is now dead, I am given the cold shoulder by his family and friends, so I call my parents and get the heck out of there. Then everyone spends 3 years calling me a murderer. I get my trial and 2 of my 3 charges were voted to acquit, yet they decide to pursue all 3 again! I'm broke. I have no job. I'm hated by as many as I am loved by.

So yeah, at this point, I'm done with the whole thing. I need to save my own life now.

KEY WITNESS Officer John O’Keefe’s dear friend Jennifer McCabe is back on the witness stand. She called 911 and did chest compressions to try to save him.

It’s absolutely possible that the defendant was 100 to 150 feet from his (JOK) house when she connected to JOK’s wifi. jmo

It would take approximately

3.413.41seconds to drive 150 feet at 30 mph.

Both families are meeting with prosecutors and defense according to the Youtube stream I am watching.

What if the CW withdraws the case? Or a plea offer?
I seen plea's happen like this

why isnt she allowed to move on with her life?? she's gone through so much and john died 2/3 years ago... their relationship seemed really full of love but also toxicity and she was having a hard time with the way he treated her. she seems to thrive when she is independent and taking care of her own wants/needs, career wise and personal life wise. why isn't she allowed to want her life back? imagine how exhausting it must be to be tried twice by people who hate your guts just because you're you and they're not pinning a crime on you successfully. i wouldn't want my whole life to be defined by this, if i were her. she's allowed to want better. when you go through something this traumatic, everyone reacts differently, also.

And KR is damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t with speaking up. If she speaks it’s torn to shreds. If she doesn’t, it means she doesn’t care about John or that she’s concealing guilt. It’s been 3 years. I would be over ‘it’ - it being my freedom being on the line and every aspect of my life torn apart - too

Cant speculate on what you stated. I will say that the defendant is not the victim here. jmo

We’re back and there’s a sidebar !!

She is one of the victims in this situation, yes. Her and John's lives were destroyed that night. A few people on this thread seem to think all is black & white and there's no grey areas to life and its events

She is , a victim of the shady bad state trooper ,to start with. A victim victimizd under the color of law. I hope she sues him.

As a person with a similar medical device to Karen, the term leaky balloon knot made me physically ill. He should've been fired immediately based on this disgusting comment about her disability alone. Just that was horrendous. She's dealt with about 1,000,000x more than that, too.

Because (apparently) that German Shepard lives in a cupboard and has zero awareness of anything going on outside of that cupboard.

So, not at a farm in Vermont?

Pretty sure they shipped the whole cupboard with the dog inside it to the farm in Vermont.

So Jen saw investigators, asked for 10 minutes, immediately called her husband and Kerry Roberts, and then suspended the line of questioning. Very weird behavior from her. MOO.

Consciousness of guilt? Sounds like it to me!

 

[kuromiiiilove]

Combine that with her ‘butt dials’, deleted calls to John, deleted searches, calling John ‘a guy’ ‘a man’ in the 911 call even though she says she immediately recognized… all seems like intentional distancing to me.

 

[kuromiiiilove]

Oh and Jen just admitted she wanted to know if LE had already spoken with Kerry Roberts. COLLUDING!

ETA: AJ is an artist.

Is this unknown law enforcement department the FBi?

Truly sickening. A despicable person. Spreading his own foul values and attitudes and encouraging them in others. Justifiably fired and hopefully past the point where he could ever work in a senior capacity again. Jmo

My god she treats JM with kid gloves and keeps shutting AJ down.
