NOT GUILTY MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #38 Retrial

I don’t understand the strategy behind the prosecution wanting the defense to call Proctor to the stand? Seems like the prosecutor wouldn’t want Proctor anywhere near the stand whether he was called by them or the defense….

Agreed, I can only speculate, maybe Hank had hatched some sort of plan to bounce off of proctor and perhaps that’s why the prosecution fizzled out in the second half? Just an opinion

Alessi 8 meant. Freaking autocorrect. I’ll find the picture

Dr L was not a witness during Trial 1. I'd like to know how the defense found her. She was the best witness of them all! Very convincing in a knowledgeable and educated way.
MOO

you should go find this interview... Yanetti got most of the experts... they explain a lot in this interview!

Of all the McAlberts, she's the only one I kind of feel sorry for.

And her referring to Trooper Bukhenik by Turtleboy's disgusting nickname for him - twice! - is one of the most memorable moments of the first trial.

I must have missed that. What did she call Bukhenik?

What made you feel kind of sorry for her?

Glad to see the jury disregarded, and now when interviewed they don't even mention KEY CYCLE 1162 JMO

None of the jurors so far have even mentioned the digital evidence, which is kind of surprising to me.

Can she sue for character defamation, loss of home and wages, unemployment, and heightened medical ramifications? They put her through H E L.

The supporter crowd just kept getting bigger and bigger. Everyday. He probably knew.

I don't think it mattered because they found he was not hit by the SUV.

This podcast with Yanetti and Alessi... I wish they were asked about it, but they weren't lol

Quick but really interesting interview with the foreman! Also finally answers the question about what happened with the first “false alarm” verdict

Oh dang.. I can't see the article. Will go search

In case you all didn't know or aren't watching... Yanetti and Alessi doing an interview together right now on Runkle... it is great!

If you go to you tube and just put in Yanetti and Alessi interview.. it should pop up.

I am so deeply impressed by these two--great lawyers but also high character, deeply moral people. And so so smart.

This is 100% MOO, but Yanetti and Alessi pretty blatantly passed on that question during the YT live tonight. Said they can’t get into what went into their decision. Again, MOO, but I took that to mean it wasn’t simply a legal/strategic decision. Perhaps there were other things happening behind the scenes that essentially forced their hand.

fwiw, I think it was the right decision anyways. Just found their answer (or lack thereof) interesting.

 

[Forest_Wood]

This is really sad IMO. I’m not an expert by any means but it sounds like he was disassociating as a way to cope with trauma or major depression. Jmo

I think maybe he was minimizing coping with his life challenges by using alcohol to self-medicate and to wash his worries away. He seemed to drink a fair amount. Still hungover at 4 or 5pm after drinking the night before on Thursday. Loaded drunk on vacation and falling all over a young woman, where he spent the next day hungover. He drank non-stop at the bars too. This is according to the texts, testimony and videos that we saw. I wonder why he wasn't working Thursday or Friday of that week and it seemed he wasn't working Monday either since he was going to fix Karen's hot water heater. Was he off work for some reason? It's a shame his final night of life was spent drinking IMO.

They said that if the defense had called him, cross examination would have allowed the prosecution to rehabilitate Proctor and to essentially do their closing in the cross. The important thing was to get the texts in without Proctor.

Really good article , Ty

Yes, they did answer in detail. This was such a treat to spend the few hours just 'hanging out' with them. Loved how they worked off each other and embraced it and how it worked so perfectly, along with AJ for sure that they included and Ms. LIttle and the ENTIRE group of interns. They made sure so easily to include every person as 'their team'. Huge props to Karen in her own right for sure as well in working her trial. IMO

I think there may have been concerns closer to the end about Brennan violating KR's right to a fair trial . He progressively got worse and worse with his questionable mistakes.

Yeah that’s what I took from their comments. Not trying to put words in their mouth but it seemed like there was an angle to that decision that they couldn’t/wouldn’t discuss
