Anybody following the Karen Read trial in Boston?

Did she do it? I have no idea. And that's the point. State bears the burden here. Defense doesn't actually have to present any kind of rebuttal.

Only thing I know is that they are all drunk idiots who need to go to AA.

Even though the standard of proof is lower in the civil trial, the O’Keefe’s will have a tougher time prevailing over Karen now that there is so much evidence available that John was not hit by a car.

I wonder if they’ll try to settle with Karen’s insurance company rather than go to a trial, now that they’ve seen the compelling evidence. They could walk away with nothing if the civil trial jury sees the evidence the same way this jury did.

Those angry folks trying to equate Caesy Anthony and OJ Simpson to Karen Read strike me as very uniformed.

And I think particularly so on the civil trial side. Yes, OJ lost the civil trial. The reasons he was found not guilty as vastly different than in Karen Read's situation. And so the civil trial will likely be different too - there is simply so much evidence it wasn't a car, and so much shadiness from other parties. I hope there is a settlement.

Or idk he went in the garage by accident and the dog who doesn’t like strangers was in there because they were having a party, the dog jumped him, he fell backwards on the garage concrete step and died immediately. The cop didn’t want the manslaughter charge or legal liability so he put his phone on his chest and dragged him outside at 3:30am after the plow driver’s first pass.

Not sure why I argue with idiots that aren’t even familiar with the very basic facts of the case. Drunk GIRLFRIEND not wife.

Idiots like you? His phone was NOT on his chest but under his body. Embarrassing to run your mouth like that and you just did the same thing!

Lmao I know that. I also know that you can’t drag a phone under someone’s body 🤦🏻‍♀️ so I thought it was implied they put it under him when they got him by the flagpole.

These people are all drunks and need to go to AA. I can’t believe that grown adults even act like this running around in a snowstorm drunk.

None of this would have happened without alcohol, but they can’t see this.

There are so many people involved in this case who have DUIs. Paul O’Keefe in 2020 (guess who paid his bail?), Chris Albert (killed an exchange student), even Jim the Court Clerk in 2006.

Her insurance won't give them anything. She didn't cause his death. What exactly would they be settling? There is no way they should pursue this any longer. They will lose and waste a ton of money.

How would you feel about this trial if it were proven that no one is to blame for John’s death? How would you feel about Karen Read and the idea that she had been unjustly accused? Would you feel understanding that she had to fight for innocence in court, or would you maybe find it hard to accept that she didn’t do it after thinking of her as guilty all this time?

Just curious if anybody who thinks she is guilty would feel bad if they learned that there was some incontrovertible proof that she had nothing to do with it.

If there were video, I would accept it immediately.

Since you asked, if there were video of KR hitting him, would you accept it?

Yes.

Wouldn’t taking this to trial be really expensive compared to, say, throwing the O’Keefe’s $50k? I’m honestly asking, I have no idea how this works.

I think there is incentive for the bars not to settle because it may impact their liquor license? But I thought the insurance company would be all about whatever is cheapest.

Karen Read = Casey Anthony = OJ Simpson.

Like it or not, all were found not guilty.

The Casey Anthony case was a blatant over charge leading to nothing. They didn't have proof of how the kid died, yet they death certified and had to try to prove aggravating factors for the death penalty.

A good prosecutor hates a media case or ignores it as much as possible. A bad one lets the media storm cause them to charge past evidence and not try to do a plea to something they might be able to actually get (like a manslaughter charge).

Like I said, Like it or not, all were found not guilty.

I suspect that a guilty verdict would have made the wrongful death an easy win for the family. The fact that it’s not guilty plus there is so much evidence pointing to the likelihood that he was not even hit by a car could make it so much more difficult for them to win.

I think if a civil jury believes he wasn’t hit by a car, they wouldn’t hold the two bars liable because Karen didn’t hit him. Although, I wonder if they could be held liable for over serving him if the jury thinks he fell backwards because he had had too many drinks.

+1. These are the people who never grew out of partying with their buds on the weekends. They are not kids. The effects of alcohol are so strong here: DUIs, anger, arguments, bad decisions, even mispelling on a Google search, LOL. Karen Read included. But I think this verdict is the right one.

From the HBO documentary, I got the sense that Jennifer McCabe totally had a thing for JOK.

Same. And was she married? I thought I remembered wondering if maybe her husband found out they were cheating and lured him to the house.

Who was Chris Albert? Was he there that night? Did they look at his car?

I just want one of the people inside that house to crack and come out with a tell-all book or interview. They’d make bank, we’d all finally know what the hell was going on.
