MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #27 Retrial

Sure, we can critique her decisions all day, but at a certain point, when those decisions consistently benefit the prosecution, disadvantage the defense, and ignore glaring due process issues, it stops being a matter of critique and starts being a matter of concern. She refused to recuse herself despite being asked. She’s allowed re-rebuttal after late disclosure from the CW, while penalizing the defense for doing the same. That’s a pattern. When a judge appears to facilitate the state’s case at every critical turn, people are right to raise red flags. Even federal ones. MOO.

Advised to recuse and nope. Why?...to both.

The song and dance starts around 6:39 of YB's cross exam. The shirts were laid out in their office for 6 days.

It was not in an evidence room until Feb 4th.


6:51:10
So for six days anybody who had access to that
6:51:17
room could have handled the that clothing in any way they wanted to
6:51:22
That's correct And that includes former trooper Michael Proctor
6:51:27
That's correct

To dry was the testimony by Yuri B.

 

[keek]

Replying to myself, because I am not even sure that it went to an evidence room after the 4th because no one has logs of anything. And Proctor didn't give it to the lab until sometime in March (this comes up repeatedly throughout the trial). So not only did he have access while it was drying for 6 days, once it was bagged, no one really knows where it was. JMO

Or so very importantly, WHAT was being done to it, bits of red plastic anyone? IMO

 

[Spectrix]

But others, including myself, may feel differently, and as such will critique judge cannone's decisions differently. This may include expressing the valid opinion that one would like to see her investigated. I wanted to clear that up. Jmo

Indeed. One might go as far expressing the valid opinion that she ought to be disbarred.

Riiiight?? It does NOT take days to dry!

The 6th amendment : Defendant has the RIGHT to a FAIR trial.

It is my opinion that this judge has trampled all over Karen Reads rights. This isn't Salem in 1633..

The world is watching....

 

[keek]

Riiiight?? It does NOT take days to dry!

When he said that, back in the day, I thought noo, lie. I even tried to think why, not knowing maybe at the time he still thinks well of fired proctor, accomplice, as we all know now. Accomplice, to murder. I thought earlier when the woman said found bits or whatever of 'tail light', that is exactly what they did.. ground it up, rubbed it in.. FOR SURE. More of 'making she hit him' stick.. IMO

The mixing up of evidence in evidence bags is just part of the problem.

IMO, the testimony this week just pushed the needle even further to the not-guilty side for me. There was no blood on the taillight, no blood or dna on the car, there was no scratches or dents from a human being... his body has no bruising, no broken bones, no sign that he was hit by a vehicle.There is no evidence that he was hit by a vehicle. You can't have it both ways. IF they are trying to claim that the scratches on his arm are from the broken taillight pieces, there would be blood. To say that the housing of the taillight didn't even have salt in it or dna??? That pushes the envelope even further for me that it was broken AFTER she drove it to her dad's house. Just sitting here, the CW has NOT proven even 1 substantial item PROVING that OJO was hit by that Lexus.

 

[Amber29]

Would the jurors even know that blood doesn't gush after the heart stops? I don't think that has been explained to the jury by any expert. If there was blood that gushed out, does that mean he was still alive with heart pumping after the glass entered the side of his nose, long enough for it to settle at point of entry from the shard of glass.
ETA: And therefore, he wasn't laying there as long as the CW states he was, if the blood wasn't frozen?
MOO

This bothers me about the clip the CW played, I think the jurors are now going to be thinking similar things, this clip again does not help their case. I mean I need an expert to explain this now. I thought they had already said he showed signs of lividity, he was supposedly on his back for hours. How was blood able to gush out of his nose wound? The CW made a mistake playing this one for sure…

A dead Boston LEO with 3-4 unidentified dna profiles on his clothing and they never bothered to find out who they belonged to?????!!

 

[Derph]

I'd like to see her jailed! I don't find this unreasonable at all. Every case she has ever presided over needs to be investigated. If she's doing this kind of stuff while the world watches, Lord only knows what she has done when no one was watching.

 

[kuromiiiilove]

After today, I genuinely believe there’s a possibility Brennan and Judge Cannone are having ex parte meetings. MOO.

 

[Angelwatch]

A dead Boston LEO with 4 unidentified DNA profiles on his clothing and they never bothered to find out who they belonged to?????!!

That blows me away. Not even after it came back with multiple dna. Nope, not looking any further into it.

Because it was never about justice for John. MOO.

There are two things I don't understand about the Karen Read Trial. Following the dramatic hearing, Read spoke to reporters for the first time.
"We know who did it. We know. And we know who spearheaded this coverup. You all know,"

If they and we all know who did it and who spearheaded this coverup, why aren't these mystery persons or person being arrested, since everybody knows?

Hi @Jeanny, I remember the video footage and have posted it a few times.
KR was speaking to reporter Steve Cooper on the steps of the courthouse that day.
The people she's targeted have not been arrested because there is absolutely no evidence of any wrongdoing, no evidence that John O'Keefe went into the house.

As you know KR is the defendant and she (and only KR) is on trial. However, theres a lot of fluff out there and thats all it is, is fluff, not evidence. Distraction. So be it. Science, facts, data, knows the truth. All points to KR.

Moreover, the federal investigation is closed. No evidence of police corruption found. No evidence that police targeted KR, no evidence of police trying to frame her.


In addition, reporter TD (bias) interviewed KR w/Jackson. At that time, this is the response about "who did it"

When Daniel asked who attacked O’Keefe, Jackson interjected, “We don’t know. And it’s not for us to know. Somebody other than Karen…is responsible for that, for the killing of John.”


So, changing your story is not a good look- why the inconsistency...
However, the changing stories continue and have been going on since she cant remain quiet- its her right to remain quiet!

Also, Karen Read lied in the interview (I think 20/20) about how much she drank that evening/morning (she said 4 drinks and didn't finish them). Shouldn't this be brought up in court, since her blood alcohol level was over the limit? The video at the Waterfall shows her drinking alcohol, and adding shots to her drinks. After she added the shots, John O'Keefe stirred them into her drink.

I actually think it is likely that tail light pieces were in the bag with the shirts at some point, or the same bag was used for pieces of tail light, then used for the clothing, something like that.

Because the implication is that Proctor planted evidence, disappeared evidence, tampered with it... I would love to see a comprehensive list with dates of evidence and what happened to that evidence. It's hard to piece it all together on the fly. Clothing, tail light pieces, videos, I'm sure I'm missing something.

AJ asked Judge Cannone to recuse herself in July 2023. He wasn’t claiming actual bias (at the time), but argued that certain circumstances could give the appearance of partiality, which is still grounds for recusal in MA. He said a reasonable person could question her impartiality, and that public confidence in the process was at risk.
Here’s what they cited:
-Online comments from a relative of a CW witness (Jennifer McCabe) who made a threatening post and suggested they were close to the judge. That raised red flags about potential connections.
-Uneven rulings: the defense pointed out that she was quick to act on CW motions but slow or unresponsive to theirs. They argued this showed a procedural imbalance that harmed the defense.
-Reassignment to civil session: at the time, Cannone had been reassigned to a civil docket but remained on this criminal case. The defense said that could look improper to the public and added to the perception issue.

Judge Cannone denied the motion, saying the rumors were unfounded and she had no personal ties to anyone in the case. She rejected the idea that “internet speculation” should affect whether she stays on. The defense didn’t appeal it any further.

 

[Warwick7]

So I'm not mistaken right?!

CW stamped when they know KR definitely hit JO:

12:45 first attempt
12:30 second attempt
12:31:38 third attempt
12:32:16 now this??!!

You do realize a cop actually lost their job because of behavior in this case? The lead investigator in the case no less.

 

[Warwick7]

During trial #1 who was the doctor who testified how JO not hit by a vehicle?
Dr. _______________

Now at trial #2 when Dr. Scordi Bello testified about JO not being hit by a car.

Ok....um......this isn't that complicated.
