[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Brian Albert didn't go outside for the same reason none of the other neighbors did - it was dark, 6am in January in the midst of a blizzard with howling wind and sideways snow and very limited visibility. In those conditions with the shades drawn and being sound asleep after a day/night of drinking, Brian Albert didn't wake up. He and his wife didn't wake up until Jen McCabe, Brian's wife's sister, came up the stairs into their room to wake them.

The police, EMTs and fire department rolled silent to the call as is the usual practice very late at night and early morning to residential addresses. Karen's screaming was sucked away by the howling blizzard wind which also dampens all other sounds.

It's almost like the people commenting on this have never lived in a place where blizzards happen and have no familiarity with the conditions. For the record, this storm was in the top ten of recorded winter storms in the modern era for eastern Massachusetts, it was a very real storm and it also accounts for the issues that arose with Canton PD trying to collect evidence in those conditions prior to arrival of the MSP search team.

And yes, even if the weather conditions had been ideal it would have been stupid for Albert to insinuate himself into a crime scene in Canton where he has no jurisdiction when there was Canton PD and EMS and fire department all on scene - he doesn't give better CPR than a paramedic firefighter. It's a total red herring to point to him for not coming out of the house.

The data evidence is science and it will win the case. But the conspiracy theories are so ludicrous I cannot believe anyone of average or above average intelligence is swallowing it. Those of you who do must be deep-seated cop haters.[/quote]

Do you actually respect cops who drive drunks over and over again? They are an insult to good cops. You may hate Karen Read all you want but there were no good guys in that house.[/quote]

And I didn't make a single statement praising any of the people drinking and driving that evening - your post is a straw man.

Karen Read was one of those drunk drivers, and the only one who ran a good man down and left him to die in the snow when there is a ton of consciousness of guilt to establish that for hours she knew she'd done something and out of fear of an OUI and damaged reputation, she did NOTHING to save his life. She could have called somebody to check on him. She could have called 911. SHE DID NOTHING - until she decided to save her ass by attacking the justice system in Massachusetts and harassing dozens of innocent people who never did her any harm whatsoever. She's a puke. She's a piece of excrement. She's a lot like our current president - nothing is ever her fault and she will destroy anybody, including children, to get her way. [b]That upsets me a lot more than some cops who drank after attending a funeral of another cop. A cop who drinks is not by definition a bad cop, anyway. It seems you'll say anything to defend the murder diva you adore.[/b][/quote]

DP, but it sounds like you do write off their drunk driving as NBD, especially if you're the same poster who wrote they were just socializing because kid's sports were cancelled. [/quote]

We have hard evidence that Karen Read was 2-4x the legal limit when she drove John and then ran him down in the road.

What evidence is there that anybody else drove over the legal limit? None. Brian Albert and Brian Higgins both outweigh Karen Read by 2.5-3x her body weight, so they have a very different tolerance and metabolization of alcohol. Apparently Brian Higgins drove to the Alberts and then later on the Canton PD, but we have no evidence that Brian Albert drove at all. We have no evidence that those who drove were over the legal limit. They certainly didn't wake up the next morning to smashed tail lights and the sick feeling that their boyfriend might have been killed by a plow and yet they have a vague memory of backing up and striking something.

It is not illegal to drive after consuming alcohol in Massachusetts, or any other jurisdiction that I'm aware of - certainly none of the ones in which I've practiced criminal law. I don't know of a single state that has a zero tolerance for alcohol consumption before driving except for underage drivers.[/quote]
