Anybody following the Karen Read trial in Boston?

Anonymous
The questions the jurors asked today makes me think she is going to be acquitted of the two major charges.

I would believe that with no reasonable doubt but for…the rehoming of the dog, the “butt dials,” the destroying of a SIM card and phone at a military base, the fact that the homeowners “slept through” all the police activity in their yard, the Solo cup-level evidence gathering, the mirror-image sally port video footage, the fact that everyone was apparently blotto, the cop who had horrible texts about Karen Read on his phone, etc., etc., etc., etc. What a bungled case by the police and the prosecution.


Dp. Agree and I’m confused why the anti KR posters on here are so angry at people like us who think the investigation was terrible and left tons of RD. Shouldn’t they be addressing their all cap curse filled rants at the local police and investigators??


I’m not anti-Karen Read and not angry. I do think she’s guilty though. Proctor was terrible. The other parts of the investigation had issues too but many cases do. I think it’s Proctor’s words that really instigated all of the doubt because he sounded unhinged. That said, she caused his death.


Come on, it www much more than proctor. It was all those people. Btw, who parties like an 18 yo, driving around drunk with their friends to an after bar party during a snow storm?? My teens don’t even act like that


Their partying/being alcoholic weirdos doesn't really have anything to do with the poor policework by Proctor etc, so not sure what your point is.


Well it does speak to their overall values and morals. As cops, they were clearly willing to break various laws and ethical standards of professional conduct. So is it such a leap that they could go further and try to frame someone?

And their being drunks has just as much if not more to do with this case than whether karen got her job because of her dad. Yet I’ve seen that brought up here as evidence that Karen is a ‘bad’ person


The Alberts and Brian Higgins did not investigate this case.


The fake information KR followers listen to doesn't tell them this truth.

They all centered around the OUI lesser charge and one of the questions was basically about if we agree on 2 of the counts but hang on one what happens....

Websleuths is so over the top with this case. One poster is advocating for Jen McCabe to be waterboarded— unbelievable.

Well they were involved, which is potentially why it was NOT investigated properly. And proctor obviously did act morally or professionally by talking about Karen’s nudes and calling her a c//t. I mean, really? Is it such a leap to think they could do something unethical? They acted like thugs.

Come on, when you talk like that you sound dumb. There’s a lot of hyperbolic nonsense online. No one is actually advocating for that.

The CW is not saying he was hit directly. Their theory is he was clipped and fell from the force. The injuries were only fatal because nobody got to him soon enough.


But they are saying he was hit at a high rate of speed, otherwise they can’t explain how he ends up over on the lawn. Clipped or direct, the impact will leave significant distinct bruising.


The defense's expert ME testified he died in 15-30 minutes; at most he was alive a couple of hours after being hit.

Bruising takes hours to days to develop; in criminal investigation it is standard to revisit an assault victim days after the initial report in order to photographically document the full extent of bruising injuries.

I am repeatedly flabbergasted by the lack of basic science understanding of people who comment on this case.


When I got hit by a car, the bruise materialized within minutes. It may have been worse 2 hours later, but it was already insane within minutes while The EMTs were attending to me.


Yes, he was probably clipped in some way that caused him to spin around and fall and hit his head. Not a direct impact.


An indirect hit powerful enough to propel him onto the lawn would necessarily leave a significant bruise.


So he died because of the dog? Or because he got beat up?


Karen Read was charged with hitting him with her car. He obviously fell and hit the back of his head and the evidence doesn’t support the conclusion that a vehicle contributed to that.


Other than the broken taillight and taillight on the clothes.


The taillight pieces found weeks after the scene was investigated? Only by the investigator who has since been fired for his conduct? And who left the victim's clothes in a bag in his car for over a month v checking them into evidence properly?
Are you just slow witted?


The argument is that while some pieces of the taillight were found at the scene when his body was found, someone went back and put more pieces there over the next couple of weeks? Is that because they thought more taillight pieces would make her look more guilty? That’s illogical.

If they wanted to frame her, his blood on her vehicle would be a much better way to accomplish that. Hell, his blood on a chunk of taillight would be even better.

Way to miss the point. Of course I realize they didn’t mean it literally.

Yeah, I mean, it couldn't be that most of the tail light pieces got buried under a snow plow berm of multiple feet of snow from one of the biggest one day snow storm totals in modern Massachusetts history, and that those pieces revealed themselves over a period of days/weeks as the weather warmed and the snow melted away.

Naw, nothing that common sensical could possibly have occurred. Must have been corrupt law enforcement!

How can all these people, women, drive in that weather drunk, how much of a drinker do you have to be, damn. I'm not comfortable driving in the snow sober, especially at night. Can't imagine what kind of drinkers these people are too stay out late drinking on a night like that and feel fine to drive. So disgusting.

If they truly thought she had hit him, you’d think they’d go back sooner for evidence collection not just wait for the snow to melt. The scene wasn’t secured, so again the PD didn’t do their job correctly. This can’t be the first incident in snow ever in Massachusetts history.

The fact that this was a fellow police officer and they Keystone copped it makes you wonder whether they are incompetent or corrupt. There’s no way around that. If they aren’t corrupt and this is truly representative of the effort and tactics by the PD, I shudder to think how they handle the death investigation of a civilian.

This incident occurred the night/very early morning before the blizzard conditions set in - there was just the beginnings of spitting snow coming down in the 12am hour when everyone drove home from The Waterfall to 34 Fairview Road. The vast majority of the snow fell throughout the daylight hours and into the evening of the day, with conditions being very bad and getting worse in the 5-6am hour when John's body was 'found' by Karen and his friends who came out to help her.

Karen Read is the only person who caused an accident/death that night and who was 2-3x the legal limit for driving after consumption of alcohol, and still over the legal limit 9 hours later when tested at the hospital on psycho hold.

As a former prosecutor I won't for a minute argue that we don't still have a huge problem with intoxicated drivers in this country - we absolutely do. But there are plenty of folks who go out for a few drinks and get home safely and have a plan for somebody who stays under the limit to drive. It is unfair to paint all the parties out that night as equally drunk as Karen Read was - there is no evidence to suggest that was the case.
