Movie rights, book(s), maybe even a reality show or two. Podcast, become a motivational speaker for how to Live Your Truth. She’ll be more than fine.


Now that she is out of criminal jeopardy, her very next task is to sit for a deposition in the civil wrongful death suit that is pending against her and which will bankrupt her in perpetuity just as happened to OJ Simpson. Whatever book (do her cult followers read?), movie, docuseries or other media rights she sells, the proceeds will be putting John's niece and nephew through the colleges of their choosing etc.


Couldn’t Karen Read just as easily sue others? She just won a case that determined she didn’t kill JOK. I would think she could sue others for slander?

Seems like any wrongful death suit is against the wrong person (Read). They should sue the police or others who were likely involved in the death. Not someone who is not guilty of the death.

Just a reminder that this is not what "not guilty" means from a legal standpoint. It means that a group of people found that the prosecution, which has the burden of proof, did not establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

I assume she would be exploring malicious prosecution/ 1983 claims. Unless her team has more definitive proof, though, I imagine it would be another endless legal slog with no guarantee of a successful outcome.

OJ was not guilty too…

How does this psycho have thousands of crazy fans? Have crime podcasts and Netflix “documentaries” made American women literally batshit insane?

No. She was a) assuming the worst because John didn’t come home, as far as he knew leaving his minor niece home alone all night, which she knew he wouldn’t have done, b) still drunk and c) catastrophizing. It’s not unusual for people to jump to a worst case scenario when someone doesn’t come home.

I say the medical evidence is clear that he wasn’t struck by a vehicle and that tells me more than any panicking gibberish she may have been uttering before he was found.

Really?? Really? Hit by a snowplow? That’s a pretty random claim and a pretty convenient one considering what they would find later. Especially when she claims he went inside.

You don’t think that maybe deep down in her subconscious she knew that he was lying by the side of the road and she was coming up with excuses for why?

It’s not really clear he wasn’t clipped. It is clear he wasn’t hit directly which the prosecution never claimed.

Np - no. She’s the only one who was acting normally for the circumstances: sleepless, paranoid, frantic and grasping at straws wondering out loud WTH happened. The other ones were oddly calm, detached and so busy butt dialing each other in the night, running weird errands, being up through the night despite being tired middle aged drunks who were not supposed to know anything was wrong.

Karen put money in a trust for the kids to go to college so they are all set there.

I think Paul needs to get a job and Peggy needs therapy.


I’m fairly new to this case

Who are P and P?

What trust?


Prior to JOK’s death, there was money set aside for JOK’s niece and nephew. Karen helped JOK set the money aside in safe investment so that the money would be there for future use. She is not on the accounts (never was).
Paul is JOK’s brother and Peggy is his (their) mother.
Peggy fought JOK in the courts for years for custody over the kids and stopped speaking to JOK when he won custody.



So she contributed nothing to the fund? Just helped set it up?


No smart woman would without a ring.

I think it’s possible a drunk or hungover person is confused and panicked about why someone didn’t come home. She also thought (per voice mails she left him) that he was out cheating on her while she was home with the kids. Drunk/hungover person not understanding what is going on…

She can start with WBZ News for lying for years that that there was Ring Cam footage of her hitting JOK.

Here’s what: her behavior that night and the next day makes wayyyyyy more sense than the crypt keepers in that house of horrors.

Look, house of cops, we get it: drugs, an out of control dog, swinging, whatever. Just tell the truth.

And like Karen Read, I agreed with Casey Anthony’sverdict based on reasonable doubt. She probably did it though.
