[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious how people think things are going this week - such a wild trial.  I have been busy so not up to date.   What's the mood right now?  [/quote]

After yesterday’s testimony there’s no chance she’s found guilty. The testimony was appalling from a professional and moral perspective.

Until we get into the evidence from the medical examiner, I’m not willing to say if she did or didn’t have anything to do with it. But after yesterday I’d say it’s pretty clear the lead investigator gave ZERO efforts into closing out other possibilities and focused solely and completely on one person he has extreme bias against.

DP. I'd like to know what the PP thinks now too.[/quote]

Sorry I hadn’t seen this thread come back up.

Proctor is gross, but I worked with a lot of gross cops and reading the threads here, it’s obvious gross men like Proctor abound in this society and many women here are married to them or divorced from them so it’s not like he’s anything unusual.

Proctor’s misogyny and unprofessionalism (to be speaking with friends and sister about his open cases) aside, he followed the evidence where probable cause existed and I don’t see any fault in his investigation.

I feel for Adam Lally; it’s bringing up a lot of ugly memories of the bad cops I had to deal with as a prosecutor and on top of the dumbass investigative mistakes they often made- this is typical small town America fare - I had to deal with more than a few misogynistic cops who considered me a royal c*nt and more than a few times said so to my face. Police have a high rate of domestic violence in part because of the stress they experience but more so because it’s a profession that appeals to bullies and misogyny abounds.

I am keen to see what this jury does.

It’s clear to me from my experience and my common sense that Karen was wasted and very angry about the obvious fact that John was trying to break off the relationship and she acted on a terrible impulse while heavily intoxicated and he died from the injuries inflicted by her actions.

It seems logical to assume that some of the jurors will see this clearly, too - despite the smoke and mirrors thrown up by the sickening defense theory.

However given the totality of the evidence it’s more than likely the jury will hang and certainly possible they will acquit in an OJ jury like act of nullification.

There is zero compelling evidence that the defense theory has even a whiff of truth to it, but many unforced errors by the police involved have given it wings for sure.

At Good Samaritan that morning while she was still over the legal limit hours after the incident, Karen repeatedly told her father she had backed into something but couldn’t remember what. What I wonder is what it’s like inside her head, where she knows she is guilty all day long of killing her allegedly beloved boyfriend (who she repeatedly called her husband to first responders) yet she has engaged in this years long sick display of victim hood and wallowed in her fame/infamy and appears to have convinced herself at some level that she is really innocent. I bet she could keep a psychiatrist busy for a very long time working out the hot mess between those ears. [/quote]
