Podcast appearances and mentions of brian albert

Send us a textColin and Russ discuss the second trial of murder suspect Karen Read, currently underway in Massachusetts.  They discuss the new prosecutor handling the case and how his presentation of the evidence was quite different than that of the first trial.  They also discuss the defense strategy and what we can expect as they open their case.  Plus a new DCOTW and Is This Legal!  Check it out!

Next in Media spoke with Brian Albert, Managing Director, YouTube Media Partnerships & Creative Works, about YouTube's ascent on the TV screen, how the company plans to bring top creators to the table during upfront talks, and whether brands are about to pull back on commitments amidst all this tariff uncertainty.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/Fpf2EGgVDzgDay 13 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 9, 2025. Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik is back on the stand with Cross Examination and Defense Attorney Alan Jackson keeps cornering him about Proctor's true involvements. At one point he says that he gave evidence bag to someone but didn't know who. A significant portion of the day involved reading text messages between Brian Higgins and Karen Read into evidence. These texts were described as potentially "flirtatious" and revealed details about Karen's relationship with John O'Keefe, her feelings about children, and the presence of ring cameras at O'Keefe's house. The defense aimed to highlight these texts to suggest the investigation should have looked more closely at Higgins. Trooper Bukhenik was assigned to find the location of the Albert's dog, Chole, who was shortly rehomed after John O'Keefe's death. Chloe is supposed now named Cora but we are not sure if that is the same dog because they were rehomed twice after the Albert's. There were not transfer records, rehoming records, purchase records and the validity of the veterinary records are questioned because the dog's name and current owner were not on the document.Alan Jackson asked if he was aware that there were more than 20 official police reports were not recorded for more than 100 days from the time of the event in question? There were 11 reports that were more than 300 days from the time of the event? Three reports were more than 400 days from the time of the event? Four reports were more than 500 days from the time of the event? The longest delay of any report in this investigation was 581 days? Bukhenik acknowledged that he was not aware of the exact dates and delays. He tried to explain that in a perfect world, reports would be written as events happen but implied there were reasons for the delays.It was revealed during the cross-examination of Sergeant Yuri Bukhenik that there were significant delays in interviewing witnesses from Ricky D'Antuono's truck. While Ryan Nagle, who was also in the truck, was interviewed in February 2022, Ricky D'Antuono, who drove the truck, were not interviewed until September 2023. This is approximately a year and a half later!The defense appears to be anticipating that the Commonwealth will not call certain witnesses (Brian Albert, Brian Higgins, Ricky D'Antuono, and potentially Trooper Proctor), and they are trying to introduce their desired information through Sergeant Bukhenik's testimony. Cross Examination continues on Monday.RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

What Surprises Could Be In Store At Karen Read's Re-Trial, Attorney Eric Faddis Gives The Preview What happens when a murder trial starts to look more like a Netflix drama than a courtroom proceeding? Welcome to the Karen Read case—where dogs are suspects, mystery men emerge from the shadows, and legal arguments sound like rejected Law & Order scripts. With former prosecutor Eric Faddis at the table, Tony Brueski dives into the latest twists of the alleged hit-and-run retrial. The judge is letting the defense point fingers at Brian Albert and Brian Higgins again, but only after a dramatic narrowing of who they can actually blame. The infamous third-party theory still lives, even if it's being propped up by little more than a shadowy “guy in the night” and a dog named Chloe with questionable bite marks. Is this a strategic push to confuse the jury just enough to squeeze out another mistrial? Or is the defense throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks? Either way, it's not just a trial—it's a full-blown credibility war. Why does this case feel less like justice and more like improv night at a true crime convention? #KarenRead #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #EricFaddis #CourtroomDrama #MurderMystery Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Will The Jury Believe Karen Read's Conspiracy Claims In Her Second Trial, Attorney Eric Faddis Gives Insight Did a dog, a disgraced cop, and a shadowy man from the night all somehow collide to create the perfect storm in the Karen Read case—or is this just a courtroom fever dream on steroids? As jury selection looms for Karen Read's retrial, the legal circus is in full swing. Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to dissect a case that's less about facts and more about wild theories and eyebrow-raising legal maneuvers. The judge has thrown some curveballs: third-party culprits are back on the table—but only some of them—and the defense is stuck playing legal Twister trying to connect Brian Albert, Brian Higgins, a mysterious night-walker, and an alleged dog attack into one coherent story. Spoiler alert: it's not coherent. Meanwhile, an investigator who's been fired is still being called to testify, and the defense seems to be playing the old “throw everything at the wall” game, hoping something—anything—sticks. But is confusion a strategy, or just chaos dressed in a suit? Is the defense actually building reasonable doubt, or just burning time until they can hope for another mistrial? #KarenRead #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillersPodcast #JohnOKeefe #EricFaddis #LegalDrama #CourtroomCircus Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

STORM OF SUSPICION: The Karen Read Murder TrialKaren Read is a 44-year old equity analyst and professor who was living in Canton, Mass, with her boyfriend John O'Keefe, who was a Boston police officer. On the night of January 28, 2022, she went out with O'Keefe, his cop friends, and their wives, and they all get very drunk. She's definitely hammered when she drives O'Keefe to an after party at the home of Brian Albert, the police sergeant detective who worked with O'Keefe at the Boston Police Department.What happens next is the subject of debate...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

​On Day 10 of the Karen Read murder trial, the defense focused on challenging the testimony of Brian Albert, a Boston police officer and owner of the home where John O'Keefe was found deceased. The defense suggested that O'Keefe was beaten inside Albert's residence and then left outside in the snow, proposing a cover-up by law enforcement to protect fellow officers. They highlighted the close relationships between the lead investigator, Trooper Michael Proctor, and the Albert family, suggesting potential bias and conflicts of interest that could have compromised the investigation. Additionally, the defense questioned the integrity of the evidence collection process, noting the use of unconventional items like Solo cups and grocery bags, and raised concerns about inappropriate text messages exchanged by Trooper Proctor regarding Read.​In the Karen Read murder trial, witness Julie Nagel testified that as she departed a party at the Albert residence on the night of John O'Keefe's death, she observed a "black blob" approximately 5 to 6 feet in length near the flagpole on the lawn. Nagel, who admitted to being intoxicated at the time, mentioned her observation to her friend Sarah Levinson but did not take further action. During cross-examination, the defense questioned the delay in Nagel's disclosure, noting that her first interview with investigators occurred months later in October 2022. Additionally, Nagel was the second witness to testify seeing a vehicle similar to Read's SUV at the scene that night.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Michael Proctor-The Investigator on Trial Former Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor is out of a job—and headed back to court. Not as a defendant, but as a witness. Again. It's been less than a month since Proctor was fired for misconduct tied directly to the Karen Read investigation, and now his name is back in the headlines, sitting squarely on the witness list for Read's second murder trial. You know, the one where she's accused of killing her Boston Police Officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe. Now, if you remember the first trial—and the jurors certainly do—Proctor didn't exactly win hearts or instill trust when he took the stand. Jurors were seen literally shaking their heads during his testimony. And that wasn't because of some complicated forensic data or technical jargon. No, it was the texts. Texts where he called the defendant a “wack job,” a “babe with no a--,” and, just to round things out, a “c---.” If that wasn't enough, he added that he hoped she'd kill herself. This wasn't locker room talk caught off-hand—it was in writing, and it was read aloud in court. Then there was the part where he joked about finding nude selfies while combing through her phone. This is the guy who was in charge of the investigation. The lead. The point man. That display helped sink the prosecution's momentum and, according to legal analysts, played no small role in the trial ending in a mistrial. That mistrial reset everything. And now, here we are again—same case, new trial, with Proctor's career already in the rearview mirror, but his actions still very much in play. Despite the messages and his dismissal from the State Police, Proctor's camp hasn't wavered. His wife and sister, who—surprise—are also on the witness list, say the messages didn't compromise the investigation. His wife, Elizabeth Proctor, told reporters that this is all just courtroom misdirection. In her words: “At the end of the day, a beloved police officer and honorable man was killed.” Her take? The prosecution has the facts, and the defense is simply turning the spotlight on her husband to muddy the waters. Texts to friends and family on his personal phone, she says, aren't enough to derail a murder case. But they already did. Let's not forget, those same texts sparked an internal investigation and got Proctor canned. That fallout, in the eyes of many, tainted the trial beyond repair. And when your lead investigator's credibility is in the gutter, so is your case's foundation. And speaking of shaky foundations—Aidan Kearney, a local blogger who was charged with harassing and intimidating witnesses during the first trial, is also on the witness list. He's not alone. There's Brian Higgins, the ATF agent reportedly inside the same house where O'Keefe ended up dead outside. The homeowner, Brian Albert, and his family? Also on the list. And then there's Dr. Daniel Wolfe, an accident reconstruction expert, lined up to re-analyze the physical evidence. Basically, if you had anything to do with the first trial—whether you were inside the house, near the driveway, or scrolling Twitter too loudly—you're probably on this witness list. One name that won't be testifying this time? Michael Easter. He's a retired FBI agent who was expected to dismantle the original investigation piece by piece. But on Monday, Judge Beverly Cannone granted the prosecution's motion to block his testimony. His expert breakdown of how the police allegedly fumbled the case? Not coming to a courtroom near you. So, here's where we land. The person who was supposed to bring clarity and leadership to this investigation—Michael Proctor—ended up bringing chaos and controversy.

Former Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor is out of a job—and headed back to court. Not as a defendant, but as a witness. Again. It's been less than a month since Proctor was fired for misconduct tied directly to the Karen Read investigation, and now his name is back in the headlines, sitting squarely on the witness list for Read's second murder trial. You know, the one where she's accused of killing her Boston Police Officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe. Now, if you remember the first trial—and the jurors certainly do—Proctor didn't exactly win hearts or instill trust when he took the stand. Jurors were seen literally shaking their heads during his testimony. And that wasn't because of some complicated forensic data or technical jargon. No, it was the texts. Texts where he called the defendant a “wack job,” a “babe with no a--,” and, just to round things out, a “c---.” If that wasn't enough, he added that he hoped she'd kill herself. This wasn't locker room talk caught off-hand—it was in writing, and it was read aloud in court. Then there was the part where he joked about finding nude selfies while combing through her phone. This is the guy who was in charge of the investigation. The lead. The point man. That display helped sink the prosecution's momentum and, according to legal analysts, played no small role in the trial ending in a mistrial. That mistrial reset everything. And now, here we are again—same case, new trial, with Proctor's career already in the rearview mirror, but his actions still very much in play. Despite the messages and his dismissal from the State Police, Proctor's camp hasn't wavered. His wife and sister, who—surprise—are also on the witness list, say the messages didn't compromise the investigation. His wife, Elizabeth Proctor, told reporters that this is all just courtroom misdirection. In her words: “At the end of the day, a beloved police officer and honorable man was killed.” Her take? The prosecution has the facts, and the defense is simply turning the spotlight on her husband to muddy the waters. Texts to friends and family on his personal phone, she says, aren't enough to derail a murder case. But they already did. Let's not forget, those same texts sparked an internal investigation and got Proctor canned. That fallout, in the eyes of many, tainted the trial beyond repair. And when your lead investigator's credibility is in the gutter, so is your case's foundation. And speaking of shaky foundations—Aidan Kearney, a local blogger who was charged with harassing and intimidating witnesses during the first trial, is also on the witness list. He's not alone. There's Brian Higgins, the ATF agent reportedly inside the same house where O'Keefe ended up dead outside. The homeowner, Brian Albert, and his family? Also on the list. And then there's Dr. Daniel Wolfe, an accident reconstruction expert, lined up to re-analyze the physical evidence. Basically, if you had anything to do with the first trial—whether you were inside the house, near the driveway, or scrolling Twitter too loudly—you're probably on this witness list. One name that won't be testifying this time? Michael Easter. He's a retired FBI agent who was expected to dismantle the original investigation piece by piece. But on Monday, Judge Beverly Cannone granted the prosecution's motion to block his testimony. His expert breakdown of how the police allegedly fumbled the case? Not coming to a courtroom near you. So, here's where we land. The person who was supposed to bring clarity and leadership to this investigation—Michael Proctor—ended up bringing chaos and controversy. And now, in round two, he's back under oath, minus the badge, with a reputation already in flames. #KarenReadTrial #MichaelProctor #TrueCrime #JusticeOrJustDrama Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Judge Cannone denied Karen Read's motion to bring in an expert on police procedure to support their "Bowden Defense" (claiming law enforcement didn't properly investigate). The judge stated she hadn't seen this type of expert used in Massachusetts cases. The defense can still use the Bowden Defense, but through questioning witnesses.The court denied the defense's motion regarding a third-party culprit defense for Colin Albert but allowed it for Brian Albert and Brian Higgins. The judge expressed strong reservations about the Third-Party Culprit Defense, requiring more than "mere or rank speculation." I breakdown the threshold of evidence needed.Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/An_t-g5WueoThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

​On Day 10 of the Karen Read murder trial, the defense focused on challenging the testimony of Brian Albert, a Boston police officer and owner of the home where John O'Keefe was found deceased. The defense suggested that O'Keefe was beaten inside Albert's residence and then left outside in the snow, proposing a cover-up by law enforcement to protect fellow officers. They highlighted the close relationships between the lead investigator, Trooper Michael Proctor, and the Albert family, suggesting potential bias and conflicts of interest that could have compromised the investigation. Additionally, the defense questioned the integrity of the evidence collection process, noting the use of unconventional items like Solo cups and grocery bags, and raised concerns about inappropriate text messages exchanged by Trooper Proctor regarding Read.​In the Karen Read murder trial, witness Julie Nagel testified that as she departed a party at the Albert residence on the night of John O'Keefe's death, she observed a "black blob" approximately 5 to 6 feet in length near the flagpole on the lawn. Nagel, who admitted to being intoxicated at the time, mentioned her observation to her friend Sarah Levinson but did not take further action. During cross-examination, the defense questioned the delay in Nagel's disclosure, noting that her first interview with investigators occurred months later in October 2022. Additionally, Nagel was the second witness to testify seeing a vehicle similar to Read's SUV at the scene that night.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

​Brian Albert, a former Boston Police officer and owner of the Canton home where Officer John O'Keefe was found deceased, testified in the Karen Read murder trial. He recounted that on the night of January 28, 2022, he, along with Read, O'Keefe, and others, were at the Waterfall Bar & Grille in Canton. Albert stated that after leaving the bar, several individuals returned to his residence at 34 Fairview Road for an informal gathering. He testified that neither O'Keefe nor Read entered his home that night and that he was unaware of their presence outside his residence. Albert also mentioned that he did not hear any disturbances or notice any unusual activity during the early morning hours.During cross-examination, Albert faced questions regarding the timing of his cellphone upgrade, which occurred around September 22, 2022—just before he was informed of a preservation order for his phone data. He explained that his previous phone was malfunctioning, prompting the upgrade. Additionally, Albert addressed an inadvertent call made to fellow witness Brian Higgins early on January 29, 2022, attributing it to accidental dialing. The defense scrutinized these points, suggesting potential issues with evidence preservation and communication between witnesses.​In the Karen Read murder trial, defense attorney David Yannetti accused Canton firefighter and paramedic Katie McLaughlin of perjury during her testimony. McLaughlin had described her relationship with Caitlin Albert, daughter of Brian and Nicole Albert—whose home was central to the case—as distant, stating they were merely high school acquaintances who hadn't discussed the case. However, Yannetti presented new evidence, including photographs from a June 2021 baby shower, suggesting a closer relationship between McLaughlin and Albert than previously indicated. Yannetti asserted, "It's very clear to us that Katie McLaughlin perjured herself," highlighting the significance of these social connections to the defense's argument that Read was being framed to protect others involved in the incident.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

​In the trial of Karen Read, ATF Special Agent Brian Higgins testified about his interactions with both Read and her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, prior to O'Keefe's death. Higgins recounted that he had known O'Keefe for about a year and considered both him and Read as friends. He detailed a series of flirtatious text messages exchanged with Read in January 2022, initiated by her, which included messages where Read complimented Higgins's appearance and invited him to her house. Higgins also testified that during a visit to O'Keefe's home to watch a Patriots game, Read "planted a kiss" on him, describing it as "lip to lip." These interactions were presented to suggest potential tensions in Read and O'Keefe's relationship.During cross-examination, the defense questioned Higgins about his actions following O'Keefe's death, particularly focusing on his disposal of his personal cellphone. Higgins admitted to discarding his phone at a military base after discovering that his personal number had been exposed online, which he claimed was unrelated to the case. The defense suggested that this action could indicate an attempt to eliminate potentially incriminating evidence. Additionally, Higgins testified about his movements on the night of O'Keefe's death, stating that after leaving a gathering at Brian Albert's home, he went to the Canton Police Department to move vehicles for snow plowing, then returned home. He maintained that he did not see O'Keefe or Read at the gathering and was surprised to learn of O'Keefe's death the following morning.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

​Karen Read is a 44-year-old former financial analyst and adjunct professor from Mansfield, Massachusetts. She was in a relationship with Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. On January 29, 2022, O'Keefe was found unresponsive in the snow outside the Canton home of fellow officer Brian Albert and was later pronounced dead. Authorities allege that Read, after a night of drinking, struck O'Keefe with her SUV during a three-point turn and left the scene. She was subsequently charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence, and leaving the scene of personal injury and death.Read has pleaded not guilty, asserting her innocence and claiming she is the victim of a cover-up involving law enforcement officers. Her defense contends that O'Keefe was beaten inside Albert's home and then left outside, suggesting that the injuries he sustained are inconsistent with being struck by a vehicle. The initial trial began in April 2024 and concluded in July 2024 with a mistrial due to a deadlocked jury. A retrial is scheduled to commence on April 1, 2025.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Killer or Convenient Outsider? The Trial of Karen Read Karen Read, accused of killing her Boston Police officer boyfriend, is eager for the day when she won't have to visit a courtroom or wear a suit. Before she returns to the courtroom next month, a new documentary series is giving her the opportunity to tell the American public her side of what happened the night her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, died in January 2022. The Massachusetts woman is speaking out in an Investigation Discovery (ID) docuseries, A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read. The series offers a behind-the-scenes look at Read and her legal team as they attempt to prove her innocence in her 2024 trial. It features a lengthy sit-down with Read and other key voices, including those skeptical of her claims. “Doing this film is my testimony,” Read says in A Body in the Snow. “I know the events of that morning, I know what I said and I didn't say, and I haven't been able to say it. It's incredibly frustrating. I want to say what happened exactly as it happened.” A gripping new docuseries, A Body in the Snow, has reignited debate over one of Massachusetts' most controversial murder cases. Released less than a month before her retrial begins in April 2025, the series examines the case against Read, who stands accused of killing Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. Prosecutors argue Read struck O'Keefe with her SUV and left him to die in the snow, while the defense claims she was framed by law enforcement insiders protecting their own. The Night That Changed Everything The first episode lays out the night of January 28, 2022, when Read and O'Keefe were out drinking before heading to fellow officer Brian Albert's house. Read insists she dropped O'Keefe off but never hit him. “I did not drive my car into John. I didn't reverse it. Did not hit John with my car,” she states unequivocally. When asked if there was any possibility his death was an accident, she doesn't hesitate: “There is zero chance this was an accident. There was zero chance John was hit by a vehicle.” Hours later, O'Keefe's body was found outside Albert's home, covered in snow with skull fractures, bruises, and claw-like marks. The prosecution claimed she ran him over and left, playing a voicemail from that night where an intoxicated Read slurred, “John, I f--king hate you! You're a f--king pervert.” Read faces charges of second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter, and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. If convicted, she could receive a life sentence, with additional penalties for manslaughter and fleeing the scene. A Chilling Accusation The docuseries also delves into the day after O'Keefe's death, when Read visited his family. She remembers a moment that changed everything. John's brother, Paul O'Keefe, described John's injuries to her: “My brother looked like he went five rounds with Tyson.” Then, John's mother, Peggy O'Keefe, leaned over the kitchen island and coldly stated, “I think he looks like he got hit by a car. He looks like he got hit by a car.” That moment set off alarm bells. Read's brother, Nathan, who was also present, noticed a shift. “After a couple of minutes, Paul's cell phone rang, and he left the room. The way he looked at Karen when he came back in that room, it was like time stopped,” Nathan recalls. “Oxygen left the room at that point, and there were some serious looks of guilt thrown at Karen and subsequently at my father and I.” Read immediately realized she wasn't welcome. “I could read the room, and I was not wanted there. I looked at my dad and said, ‘I gotta get out of here. They think I did this.'” The Cover-Up Theory Read's legal team alleges that O'Keefe was beaten inside the house and later dumped outside. They point to a deleted Google search from within Albert's home that read, “Ho[w] long to die in cold?” three hours before O'Keefe was found. “There is no doubt that someone at 34 Fairview Road knows exactly what happened to John O'Keefe,” said Read's attorney, David Yannetti. “But instead of investigating, they went straight for the easiest scapegoat—Karen.” Then there were the text messages from lead investigator Michael Proctor, who referred to Read as a “wack job,” said he wished she would kill herself, and joked about searching her phone for nude photos. He was later suspended, but the damage was done. A Trial That Became a Media Frenzy Director Terry Dunn Meurer, who embedded with Read's defense team for 11 weeks, told Fox News Digital that one moment stood out to her during filming. “Karen was looking at her computer,” Meurer recalled. “She's looking at the video of the last evening before John O'Keefe died. She goes, ‘Oh, poor John. He's not with us anymore. I used to feel sad when I would look at this. But now … I've got to save myself.'” Meurer insisted that Read and her legal team had no control over the final product of the series. While the series includes interviews with some of O'Keefe's friends, his family and the prosecution declined to participate. The Mistrial and What's Next After nine weeks of testimony, the jury deadlocked, leading to a mistrial in July 2024. Read's retrial is set to begin on April 1, 2025. Meanwhile, Paul O'Keefe has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her, which has been delayed until after the retrial. In an October 2024 Vanity Fair interview, Read addressed the accusations from O'Keefe's family: “Paul and Peg, if you think I killed John, that means you misjudged me for two years and entrusted two young family members in my care. Then in the blink of an eye, you now think I'm a cold-blooded killer who took away your son?” Meurer remains doubtful that the full truth will ever come out. “We have bits and pieces and varying stories and versions of stories that have emerged,” she said. “Alcohol played a huge role that night—Karen, John, the witnesses—everyone.” Read, who never testified in her first trial, uses the series as a way to speak publicly for the first time. “I just want to go away and be alone, I don't want any more court clothes or any more experts,” she says at the beginning of the final episode. “I just want to be done.” Where to Watch Episodes 1 and 2 of A Body in the Snow: The Karen Read Trial are currently streaming on MAX. Episodes 3 and 4 premiered on Investigation Discovery and MAX on Tuesday, March 18-last night. With Read's retrial looming, the docuseries shines a new light on a case that has divided opinions across the country. Whether she's a murderer or a scapegoat remains the question that will soon be answered. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrime #Corruption Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Judge Halts Karen Read Pretrial Hearing After ‘Grave Concern' Over New Information A pretrial hearing in the Karen Read case took an unexpected turn when Judge Beverly Cannone abruptly ended proceedings, citing "grave concern" over newly disclosed information that could have "profound effects" on the defense. The dramatic moment unfolded after an open court discussion regarding federal involvement in the case, including expert witnesses from ARCCA, a forensic firm specializing in accident reconstruction. “The Commonwealth just provided the court with information that causes me grave concern,” Cannone announced after returning from an unplanned recess. “The implications of that information may have profound effects on the defense and defense counsel.” Cannone then suspended the hearing, stating that when proceedings resume, all affected parties should be "appropriately prepared" to address the issues at hand. The abrupt decision followed a statement by special prosecutor Hank Brennan, who disclosed in open court that Read's defense team had previously communicated with ARCCA experts before her first trial. Brennan referred to what appeared to be emails between the defense and ARCCA, along with a $23,000 invoice the firm allegedly sent to Read's legal team. Brennan, who recently filed a motion to bar ARCCA witnesses from testifying at Read's retrial, accused the defense of concealing critical information about the experts' involvement. “Both Dr. Wolfe and Dr. Rentschler admittedly did not review all pertinent and relevant evidence that exists in this case,” Brennan's motion stated, referring to ARCCA's accident reconstruction specialists who testified in Read's defense in June 2024. Tuesday's pretrial hearing was the first since the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court denied Read's appeal to dismiss two of the three charges against her. Read is accused of striking her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, with her Lexus SUV in January 2022 and leaving him to die outside in a snowstorm after a night of drinking. Her original trial ended in a hung jury, leading Cannone to declare a mistrial in July 2024. Read, who has consistently maintained her innocence, claims that she was framed and that O'Keefe was actually killed inside the home of Brian Albert before being dragged outside. In an exclusive interview with Boston 25's Ted Daniel on Super Bowl Sunday, Read reiterated her stance, stating, “I have nothing to hide. I've been framed.” Her retrial, originally scheduled for early 2025, has now been pushed to April. The latest developments raise new questions about the role of federal forensic experts in the case and how their testimony might impact the outcome of the upcoming trial. #KarenRead #JusticeForKarenRead #BostonPD #LegalNews #TrueCrime #CourtroomDrama #BreakingNews Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A pretrial hearing in the Karen Read case took an unexpected turn when Judge Beverly Cannone abruptly ended proceedings, citing "grave concern" over newly disclosed information that could have "profound effects" on the defense. The dramatic moment unfolded after an open court discussion regarding federal involvement in the case, including expert witnesses from ARCCA, a forensic firm specializing in accident reconstruction. “The Commonwealth just provided the court with information that causes me grave concern,” Cannone announced after returning from an unplanned recess. “The implications of that information may have profound effects on the defense and defense counsel.” Cannone then suspended the hearing, stating that when proceedings resume, all affected parties should be "appropriately prepared" to address the issues at hand. The abrupt decision followed a statement by special prosecutor Hank Brennan, who disclosed in open court that Read's defense team had previously communicated with ARCCA experts before her first trial. Brennan referred to what appeared to be emails between the defense and ARCCA, along with a $23,000 invoice the firm allegedly sent to Read's legal team. Brennan, who recently filed a motion to bar ARCCA witnesses from testifying at Read's retrial, accused the defense of concealing critical information about the experts' involvement. “Both Dr. Wolfe and Dr. Rentschler admittedly did not review all pertinent and relevant evidence that exists in this case,” Brennan's motion stated, referring to ARCCA's accident reconstruction specialists who testified in Read's defense in June 2024. Tuesday's pretrial hearing was the first since the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court denied Read's appeal to dismiss two of the three charges against her. Read is accused of striking her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, with her Lexus SUV in January 2022 and leaving him to die outside in a snowstorm after a night of drinking. Her original trial ended in a hung jury, leading Cannone to declare a mistrial in July 2024. Read, who has consistently maintained her innocence, claims that she was framed and that O'Keefe was actually killed inside the home of Brian Albert before being dragged outside. #KarenRead #JusticeForKarenRead #BostonPD #LegalNews #TrueCrime #CourtroomDrama #BreakingNews Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Send us a textThree things you'd have to believe to find Karen Read guilty of murder!Have you ever wondered how in excess of 8 people, drove directly past the spot where the Commonwealth said John O'Keefe was lying in the snow? Brian Higgins a highly trained ATF, testified he pulled out and his jeeps's lights would have fully illuminated that very area, yet no body? C'mon.Jen Mcabe's infamous 2:27am "Hos long to die in the cold" google search. During a Daubert hearing, Richard Green revealed that cell phone forensics found that Jen had made 4,560 google searches over the life of the phone, yet only one search had ever been deleted, the "hos long to die in cold" search. Read that again, that search happened and it happened at 2:27am. This is issue settled.In order to find Karen guilty of 2nd degree murder you'd have to believe that Jen Mcabe did "Butt Dial" John 7 times with none of the calls going to voicemail. You'd also have to believe Boston Police Sgt. Brian Albert "Butt Dialed" ATF agent Brian Higgins AND Higgins "Butt Dialed" back!! All the infamous butt dials occurred within an hour of John's homicide. You'd have to ask what are the odds of this happening? The defense expert covered that in recent court documents. The odds of all those butt dials occurring within an hour of the murder and none of the calls going to voicemail is equivalent to winning the Powerball lottery three times in a row!!C'mom man!NBC News 10-https://bit.ly/434XcsNBoston Herald-Howie Carr- https://bit.ly/3EI9P2DAtty.

Send us a textSome new revelations and some old "gems".  The newly revealed 2:22am phone conversations between Brian Albert and Brian Higgins occurred was revealed, what was the topic of conversation? Because no one knew that John O'Keefe was injured / dead.The condition of the body. A six thousand pound SUV struck John going twenty-four miles an hour, yet there is no bruising, no broken bones. Does that make actual sense?The taillights. Karen leaves John's house at 5:08am, she departed, striking John's vehicle as she does so.  At that time you can see the light is mostly intact, if your eyes aren't lying, then how could the taillights already be on the lawn at Fairview at 12:30-1:00pm?NBC News-https://bit.ly/3VncEMuEmily Baker Youtube-https://bit.ly/4e3sJ1b
