I really think that BH, BA, Chief Berko, and CA were all involved in JOKs death/coverup. We already know MP jumped in by planting evidence trying to pin in out the girl. I for one wish that someone would break and spill the tea, but I know that probably will never happen. IMO
JMO, but I wonder if perhaps that is not already happening with full immunity. For instance BH.
He, although might have been an instigator and feel responsible for getting JOK to the house, he may have been just a witness to the attack.

He didn't hide. He by his own admission left early and videos prove he was at Canton PD abt 1:30am and was there a good part of the night, as seen on videos, although he says he went home from CPD to sleep either on couch or in bed.

He spoke to BA at least once perhaps to update eachother as to what each did after he left 34 Fairview to get the plan in place. He may have even understood or reluctantly agreed to go along with the plan or was threatened with being blamed for the attack. Later he did dispose of his phone but according to testimony there were no known calls that night to anyone else in the family.

Of course he ended up as part of it because he was there. He then returned to 34 Fairview the next morning after the body of JOK was found and after the donut delivery around 7:30am. At abt 11:30am KR reached out to him by text saying John is dead. He didn't respond. He knew something.

IMO, if he caused the final blow to JOK, he would not have been the recipient to the 'blanket of lies' from the family. Those people would not have doubled down for him like we've seen happen here. IMO, the final blow came from someone closer to or part of the family.

He has no deep roots, and no family in Canton. He is not related to everyone else. He's LE but still an outsider. He would be protected by LE circling the wagons for the family, but IMO, the LE doesn't know the entire truth of what really happened. IMO, they were told enough to cover up and frame KR.

Supposedly there has been or still is an investigation of some sort by the FBI. What brought it on initially? What is it about? How far has it gone? Is it over? Is there more than one??

Obviously the FBI employed AARCA for a reason. Then handed results to both the CW and the Defense to IMO show the CW that they were on the wrong track in charging KR and obviously the FBI thought someone else was responsible for the death of JOK. The CW didn't use the results and the rest is history. Who is not afraid of the FBI???

Was the investigation paused until this verdict was reached? Has the Defense been in contact with the FBI?? Is this verdict just part of a bigger investigation that overlaps? Think of how many people it might implicate who in turn would implicate even those higher up?

[Mod Snip Rumor]

IF KR is found Not Guilty and barring any jury tampering, I think she will be but I don't see anyone cooperating without full immunity. Even the family.

AJMO and ramblings on the Eve of the Closings.

Only in the vicinity of where his body had been. It wasn't a thorough search of the wider area because they didn't know, at that time, what had happened to him, so they weren't looking for evidence of a car accident.
I'm not sure why they wouldn't be. According to some, she said I hit him, I hit him, I hit him to the EMT's and Officers on the scene...

Unless she didn't. Or they were just completely imcompetent and didn't relay the info to the officers doing the searching.

🤷‍♀️
 
It was a bit more than a rumor. A local TV news channel and the Boston Globe reported that LE had Ring video of Karen hitting John. The TV channel retracted later; I don't think the Globe ever did. Not sure.

Needless to say, someone was telling a blatant lie. Wonder who would tell the media such a thing? And what they were attempting to accomplish.
If I remember correctly, I think it was WBZ-TV/CBS who was first to report JOK getting hit was on ring camera -- shortly after reporters left from having lunch at D & E Pizza. I think this all came out in Matt McCabe's texts --"tell them the guy never came in the house." MOO
 

Defense is requesting a repeat and more detailed curative instruction given to the jury before deliberations. They want the judge to again clarify that holes in the back of the sweatshirt were cuts by MSP criminalist, not road rash. #WBZ

Judge will take the above under consideration. #WBZ

Scheduling note: everyone will be in the courtroom ready to go at 8:45 tomorrow morning. Judge wants to make sure the jury gets a chance to deliberate tomorrow afternoon. Court is done for the day today. #WBZ

Anyone wanna bet how that goes????

She didn't say she hit him with her car. It's in Katie McLaughlin's testimony.
 
I hate to ask, but… I’ve come to this case only recently. Within this past day or so, I read that JM (I think) claimed she had originally done her ‘hos long’ search at the behest of Karen Read. Eventually she admitted that was untrue. Was this something that happened in trial or before? I’m searching diligently for what I read. Thank you.
I could be wrong and someone can correct me... I think JM said it happened in one of the cop cars... but then found out later it was recording in there and nothing was said? So she said it happened outside the car after that... I seem to recall that being brought up... but please someone that has followed the last 3 years, correct me if I'm wrong.

that came out in Jen's testimony this trial too.
 
Moo. It's notable that cannone will almost definately not allow the clarifying changes proposed by Yanetti. Lally weakly argued against with no real reason, only asserting the prior presentation of the various charges was sufficient. There was no stated basis for his position, he just said it, so apparently it is. Moo

The judge said she'd consider and get back to them "before closings", but she qualified herself by stating she was disinclined to make any alterations. I think we all know that nothing is going to change here. Jmo

Imo this judge is not acting in good faith. There were issues last time and Yanetti noted them. Why not just do something useful by clarifying these ones? I see nothing other than deliberate, whimsical pigheadedness and a desire to not concede out of a perverse contrariness. All sugar coated ofcourse with plausible deniability as per her dealings over Brennan's deliberate misleading of the jury using Dr Wolfe and the Plexi glassed hoodie. There is so much sickly sweet duplicity stinking up cannone's court room; I found it particularly nauseating today watching Lally perform for an indifferent Brennan like the good little lap dog he is ( IMO).
In closing, the defense should reference anything they feel is confusing to the jury. Point out that the CW tried to fool them , so is the court. If it is objected to, the jury will wonder.
 
The Sallyport cannot answer how Karen broke her tail light as captured on video in the 8am hour.

MOO
But it surely could’ve proven nothing nefarious happened to the tail light in that sally port. But oddly, it’s missing. Along with the neighbor’s ring footage. Along with the library footage. Along with the return to 1 meadows footage. That’s…. just a lot of coincidences all in a row. JMO.
 
It was found on the ground not in the pocket, are you saying the fall caused it out of the pocket?
CPR when he was initially found could’ve easily dislodged the phone from his back pocket. If it was in his back pocket and he was carried from the basement or the garage out onto the lawn, it would also explain why no steps were registered. He wasn’t taking steps.
 
Actually, just remembered the fall must be flat backwards for the head injuries.
So, phone in hand, means it is in front of the body. you fall flat back to do the head injury but get the phone under you.

How do you do that?
Remember when he was found he was not on his back. KarR and KerR said they turned him over

Along with body-cam at Karen’s fathers house, cell phones, a house and a family dog. It’s a long list of things that are important to finding Karen not guilty.

I 'think' it was KerriR who testified in this trial that she was outside the cop car when KR supposedly asked JMc to google how long to die in the cold and KerriR never heard it. I think the recording was in the vehicle they came to 1M in (JMc's or KerriR's, I don't recall which).
 
Karen Read Trial
A supporter of Karen Read holds a sign prior to the day’s session outside Norfolk Superior Court, Thursday, June 12, 2025, in Dedham, Massachusetts

Lynch cited expert witnesses who testified they did not think Read’s SUV hit O’Keefe. Prosecutors and their witnesses have made the case that the evidence at the scene shows she did.

“There was no impact. It’s been proven,” he said. “I think you are going to have a quick return tomorrow with the jury with a not guilty verdict.”

Lynch couldn’t fathom how the jury would find her guilty on any charges.

“They might be able to pull a rabbit out of their hat, I don’t know,” he added. “We’ll just have to wait and see.”
