[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who are following this trial so closely, why do you think it's gotten so much attention? What's so compelling about this case? My husband is from the area and I've been following the case casually and am just curious about why so many people feel so passionately for/against the defendant. [/quote] I still remember when I read about John’s death in the local news. I don’t know him or have any connection to him or anyone else in the case, but having once been a defense attorney I have more compassion than the average person for defendants who have ruined their lives in one incredibly stupid moment, especially moments under the influence. I remember thinking how absolutely wrecked Karen Read must’ve felt realizing she killed the man she loved and especially a man who was parenting his orphaned niece and nephew to whom she had also grown close over multiple years involved with the family. My heart broke for her more than a little. Then she launched this defense and the more I’ve seen of it and her, the more I am convinced she has a disordered personality and is largely irredeemable. It’s absolutely horrific what she’s doing to so many other people in an effort to avoid accountability for DUI manslaughter. And to watch her laugh and smile and clearly enjoying the limelight of the Read/Turtleboy cult followers- it’s so gross it literally turns my stomach. I really, really hope she spends at least 20 years in state prison. [/quote]
