Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/IduAs7XWVEUDay 22 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 28, 2025. After a brief Direct Examination by Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, of their Accident Reconstructionist, Dr. Welcher, Cross Examination took up the whole day and will continue on Day 23. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, ross-examination was rigorous and focused on challenging the credibility, methodology, and conclusions of the Commonwealth's expert witness. Dr. Welcher was repeatedly admonished by the court for looking at his computer and searching for information during the cross-examination, rather than answering directly from memory.Alessi questioned Dr. Welchre about the significant amount his firm, Aperture, was being paid by the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office ($325,000), and the details surrounding the purchase and sale of a Lexus exemplar for testing. The defense sought to highlight potential bias due to financial incentives.Alessi challenged inconsistencies in Dr. Welchre's testimony, such as the distance the Lexus traveled in reverse during a test (initially said to be 53 feet, then 87 feet), and the explanation of the 8 mph threshold for tail light breakage.Alessi delved into Dr. Welcher's use of data and images from Trooper Paul's report, questioning the extent to which Dr. Welcher relied on that information in his analysis. There was a dispute about a drone image and other diagrams, leading to a "Voir dire" (examination outside the presence of the jury) to clarify the sources of these materials.The voir dire aimed to clarify the sources of Dr. Welcher's materials and to determine the extent to which he relied on Trooper Paul's report or other evidence. It highlighted the defense's effort to question the independence of Dr. Welcher's analysis and the Commonwealth's attempt to defend it. The voir dire concluded with plans to continue the cross-examination the following day, with the understanding that time was limited due to a juror's scheduling issue.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

In the second week of Sean “Diddy” Combs' trial witness Danity Kane Singer Dawn Richard returns to stand and today she's up against the Defense in a heated Cross Examination. Welcome to Surviving The Survivor, the podcast that brings you the #BestGuests in all of true crime. In this LIVE Diddy episode STS Host Joel Waldman will break down the very latest testimony and share the most important details about the case. Dawn Richard testified about a 2009 incident where she witnessed Combs allegedly attack his ex, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, with a frying pan while she was making him eggs. Richard's testimony explains the abuse she saw and the fear instilled in her. Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing five criminal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. The music mogul has pleaded not guilty to all charged. Combs' defense team agrees Diddy and Cassie Ventura had a volatile relationship in which both parties were violent. They even claim Combs may be guilty of domestic abuse — but not the crimes he is actually being charged with. So the question remains...will the state prove their case? Is there reasonable doubt? The trial is expected to last eight weeks. Combs also faces more than 70 civil complaints, including one by Richard. He has denied all the allegations against him.⸻ #Support the show:All Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast

On the fifth day of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal trial, Cassie Ventura concluded her emotional four-day testimony. During cross-examination, Ventura detailed the alleged abuse she endured over their 11-year relationship, including being coerced into "freak-offs"—drug-fueled sex parties involving male escorts—at Combs's behest. She testified that these experiences left her feeling "worthless" and likened her involvement to being a "sex worker" due to the preparation and coercion involved. Ventura also recounted physical abuse incidents, such as a 2009 assault witnessed by former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard, and a 2016 hotel hallway attack captured on surveillance footage. Despite the defense's attempts to portray these encounters as consensual, Ventura maintained that her participation was driven by fear and manipulation.Following Ventura's testimony, the prosecution called Homeland Security agent Yasin Binda, who described evidence collected during a 2024 raid on Combs's hotel suite, including drugs and lubricants. The day concluded with testimony from Dawn Richard, who corroborated Ventura's accounts by describing a 2009 incident where Combs allegedly assaulted Ventura over a minor dispute. Richard testified that Combs's behavior created a culture of fear and control, aligning with the prosecution's narrative of a pattern of abuse and exploitation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:

On the fourth day of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, Cassie Ventura faced intense cross-examination from the defense. Attorney Anna Estevao sought to portray Ventura as a consenting participant in their tumultuous relationship, highlighting text messages and emails that suggested mutual affection and willingness to engage in the so-called "freak-offs"—drug-fueled group sex encounters central to the prosecution's case. The defense emphasized instances where Ventura appeared to plan these events, referencing messages where she expressed anticipation and involvement in organizing them. They also delved into her past relationships, including with rapper Kid Cudi and actor Michael B. Jordan, to suggest mutual jealousy and complexity in her relationship with Combs.Ventura, who is currently eight months pregnant, maintained that her participation in these events was driven by fear and manipulation. She testified that Combs exerted control over her, using threats and violence to coerce her into compliance. When questioned about their drug use, Ventura acknowledged that they both used substances but asserted that Combs became angry if she used drugs without him, indicating a controlling dynamic. She also recounted incidents of violence, including an episode where Combs allegedly threw a wooden hanger at her friend, leading to the end of that friendship. Despite the defense's efforts to challenge her credibility, Ventura remained composed, reiterating that her actions were often a result of coercion and fear.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:May 15, 2025 - Day 4 of testimony in the Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial | CNN

The defense showed Combs's ex-girlfriend texts where she appeared to be a willing participant in drug-fueled sex acts. She testified that in the early days of their relationship she wanted to make him happy, but later feared his anger if she said no. Ventura also admitted to jealousy over other women Combs was dating during their 11 years together, but said Combs's jealous rage turned into violence, such as when he found out she was dating musician and actor Kid Cudi.

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

Yuri Bukhenik was the only witness to take the stand as he walked in with bins of evidence. There was confusion regarding John O'Keefe's sneakers being initially misidentified a being the one from from 34 Fairview versus from the hospital. Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan and Bukhenik talked briefly in the beginning about Proctor, calling him Mr. Proctor instead of Trooper Proctor but we know Defense Attorney Alan Jackson will call him Former Trooper Proctor. Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik explained that there was an investigation against him due to failure to properly Supervise Michael Proctor. His punishment was that he lost 5 vacation days. He continues to work in homicide and has not been demoted from Sargent. When Bukhenik read the text message thread from Proctor, which contained horrible messages that he said he acknowledged with a thumbs up emoji, we can only image what was going through the jurors minds.Bukhenik presented a video timeline of Karen Read drinking at CF McCarthy's and The Waterfall before we got to Cross Examination!Sgt. Bukhenik refused to call Proctor the Lead Investigator of this case and said he was only a "Case Agent' and/or "Case Officer." He was questioned about the integrity of the investigation and whether Michael Proctor's involvement tainted it, to which he responded that the investigation was done with honor and integrity. When asked if Proctor handled the case with honor and integrity, Bukhenik relented and only said yes with integrity. Access to evidence, specifically John O'Keefe's clothing, was discussed, noting that "anyone with a key card" had access to the room where it was stored for six days.The timing and documentation of evidence collection, particularly clothing and items from 34 Fairview, were questioned. It was noted that reports about the searches weren't written until November 4th, 2023, despite the events happening in February 2022!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
Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/QZlJIBMCSsMDay 11 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 7, 2025. It feels like Deja Vu for Emily because it is her birthday and last year she was covering Day 6 of the first Karen Read trial! The Prosecution's case said it would take 3 weeks and half to present their case and they are more than halfway through, but several key witnesses, such as Former Trooper Michael Proctor, have not yet been called.Trooper Connor Keefe took the stand and displayed physical evidence, including pieces of tail light and a shoe, was shown to the jury. There was an issue with the evidence bag containing tail light pieces being marked as "two pieces" when there were actually three. Defense Attorney David Yanetti had an effective Cross Examination and Keefe tried to distance himself from Former Trooper Proctor or even say that he does good work. Yanetti pointed out that Keefe is a junior detective, and he was the only person who attended John O'Keefe's autopsy. It is usually the Lead Investigator that attends the autopsy and the fact that his partner, Trooper Bukhenik, didn't attend either is also strange. The fact that a fallen officer, John O'Keefe, was not treated with respect is baffling. Jessica Hyde, the Digital Forensics Examiner, took the stand to take about the Cellebrite data of Jen McCabe and John O'Keefe's phone. She talked about the various tools she used to decipher the information and her opinion on the "Hos long to die in cold" Google Search began at 6:23:49am because that is when Apple Suggested Term gave her, "How long does it take to digest food." After that, is when other variations of search happens like "how long ti die in cikd" at 6:23:51am, 6:23:57am, 6:24:18am, & 6:24:47am. Hyde also explained that a browser tab cannot be deleted and that Jen McCabe didn't manually delete any calls from her log. The phone has a limitation that it only stores 200 calls records and from Jan 29 to February 1st, when her phone was imaged, she must have made over 200 calls because the older calls were being erased from the phone in order to store new incoming calls. This is believable because we've heard her make 5 calls in 10 mins when the FBI unexpectedly showed up at her house for questing. Another notable instance is that Jessica Hyde noted in her report that John's phone interaction is at 12:20am but Ian Whiffin's report showed that the phone was locked with a button at 12:32am. In Jessica Hyde's testimony indicated that John O'Keefe's phone did not appear to have been secured in a Faraday bag or placed in airplane mode, as evidenced by the fact that SMS messages and ring notifications were still being received on the phone. This raised concerns about whether the phone was properly handled and secured by law enforcement, as new information could potentially still be added to the device.Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan played a clip from ID Docuseries, April 30, 2024, where Karen Read says, "Jen McCabe- It's me or her. Either I'm going down, Jen, or you are!” The implications of these statements and how the jury might interpret them are considered. The Prosecution can infer that Karen is using Jen as a scapegoat and with more videos he will use at his disposal, make it to where she has no choice to take the stand to clarify her statements.The Prosecution is presenting a stronger case in this retrial compared to the previous trial. However, concerns are raised about upcoming testimonies, such as the accident reconstructionist and medical experts.RESOURCESDay 6 of the first Karen Read Trial -
In 2024, Karen Read's murder trial in the death of her police officer boyfriend ended with a hung jury and a mistrial. Now, she faces a second jury, maintaining that she was framed for the murder of Officer John O'Keefe. This episode of the Court TV Podcast features the full testimony, from 4/29/25, 4/30/25, and 5/2/25, of a star witness for the prosecution: Jennifer McCabe, who was at the Fairview house the night O'Keefe died and was with Karen Read when they found his body in the snow the next morning.For more on the case against Karen Read, Click Here.Watch 24/7 Court TV LIVE Stream Today https://www.courttv.com/Join the Investigation Newsletter https://www.courttv.com/email/Court TV Podcast https://www.courttv.com/podcast/FOLLOW THE CASE:Facebook https://www.facebook.com/courttvTwitter/X https://twitter.com/CourtTVInstagram https://www.instagram.com/courttvnetwork/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@courttvliveYouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/COURTTVWATCH +140 FREE TRIALS IN THE COURT TV ARCHIVE https://www.courttv.com/trials/ HOW TO FIND COURT TV https://www.courttv.com/where-to-watch/
Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/r2vEF0vxG2wDay 10 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 6, 2025. We finished up Cross Examination of Lt. Paul Gallagher, along with Re-Directs and Re-Cross. When he was clearing the area with the leaf blower, he never found a hat, a shoe, and red pieces of plastic tail lights. He was also questioned why he never got a search warrant to the premises of 34 Fairview Rd.Meteorologist, Robert Gilman, testified next and talked about the ground being frozen, the amount of snow on the ground, and visibility conditions at the time of the incident. Defense Attorney Robert Alessi used this testimony to highlight the relatively little amount of snow and good visibility when John arrived at 34 Fairview Rd. The Meteorologist also brought up the concept of windchill to argue about the potential effect on O'Keefe's body and to question whether he could have died from the cold outside.Video clips of Karen Read in interviews with media saying she could have clipped John in the leg were played tot he jury.Trooper Nick Guarino was recalled to the stand for the final time to bring in timeline evidence of evidence of Karen Read's communication with John O'Keefe's cell phone around the time they arrived to 34 Fairview Rd. Missed calls, voice messages, and texts messages varied from angry and accusatory around midnight to panicked at towards the morning up until she found John O'Keefe's body. A key piece of evidence is that Karen Read's cell phone automatically connected to John O'Keefe's home Wi-Fi Router at 12:36am.Lt. Charles Rae testified to going to 1 Meadows where John O'Keefe lived to do a wellness check on his niece and nephew. No one answered the door because by the time they arrived their, John's friends and family had already taken care of the kids. He was able to bring in footage from his dash cam showing Karen Read's SUV was at 1 Meadows and had a cracked tail light and some snow inside it.Kevin O'Hara from SERT was brought in to testify about evidence recovery around 5pm on January 29th. Their focus was initially on the area near the road to avoid evidence being plowed away. Five to six pieces of tail light and a shoe were found near the curb line. O'Hara testified that a man in a hoodie from 34 Faireview came outside the house asked "Are you here for what happened earlier?" And O'Hara replied, "Yes." And then the person just went back inside.Today's focus is on foundational testimony and evidence gathering, setting the stage for future discussions from accident reconstructionist. Though it was a less dramatic exchange between attorneys and witnesses than some previous days, how the jury will interpret the information, video clips and timeline presentation will impact the verdict.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
Karen Read Defense FLOPS in Cross-Examination! Paramedic's ‘I Hit Him' Claim Stands Strong! Katie McLaughlin, a Canton firefighter-paramedic, took the stand on May 5, 2025, and dropped a bombshell that had the courtroom buzzing. She testified that when she arrived at the snowy scene where John O'Keefe's body was found on January 29, 2022, she heard Karen Read repeatedly say, “I hit him, I hit him, I hit him.” This was huge for the prosecution, who've been hammering the narrative that Read, drunk and angry, backed her Lexus SUV into her boyfriend, O'Keefe, and left him to die in a blizzard. McLaughlin's testimony painted a vivid picture of a frantic Read, her words sounding like a confession to the crime. She described the chaos of the scene—snow falling, O'Keefe unresponsive, and Read's voice cutting through the cold air with those three damning words. The prosecution leaned hard into McLaughlin's credibility. As a first responder, she had no skin in the game, no reason to lie. Her role was to save lives, not pick sides, and her recollection of Read's statements felt raw and unfiltered. She didn't waver under direct examination, sticking to her story that Read's words were clear and unmistakable. The prosecution used this to reinforce their case: Read's own mouth betrayed her, admitting guilt at the scene. They also tied it to other witnesses, like Timothy Nuttall, who'd testified earlier about hearing similar statements, building a pattern that's tough to dismiss. McLaughlin's calm, professional demeanor made her a rock-solid witness, and you could feel the defense sweating as they prepped for their shot at her. When Alan Jackson, Read's defense attorney, got up for cross-examination, he tried to poke holes, but it was like trying to punch through concrete. He likely grilled McLaughlin on the chaotic scene—snow, noise, emotions running high—to suggest her memory might be fuzzy. Maybe he pushed on whether she could've misheard Read or if someone else said something similar. But McLaughlin didn't budge, and the search results don't hint at any major slip-ups. Jackson's strategy has been to paint first responders as part of a cover-up or to highlight inconsistencies, but McLaughlin's testimony aligned too well with others for him to gain traction. The defense's failure to shake her left them scrambling, and the prosecution walked away with a win, knowing those “I hit him” words would stick in the jurors' minds. #KarenReadTrial #KatieMcLaughlin #JohnOKeefe #MurderTrial #ProsecutionWins #DefenseFails #CourtroomDrama #CantonMA #TrueCrime #WitnessTestimony Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/CQm0FID9AXYDay 9 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 5, 2025. We continue with Cross Examination and finishing up the testimony of Hannah Knowles from the Massachusetts State Police Crime Laboratory who explains the blood alcohol conversions and retrograde extrapolation, and how timing is critical in this case. Testimonies from Ryan Nagle, Heather Maxom, and Sarah Levinson provide insights into the events at 34 Fairview, including arrival times and observations of Karen Read's SUV. Sarah Levenson's surprisingly states never seeing the dog, Chloe, at the Albert's residence despite being friends with Brian Albert Jr. for many years.Katie McLaughlin, the female EMT who Jen McCabe stated Karen read said, "I hit him" three time in front of took the said. She also said that she heard Karen read say, "I hit him," but it was four times. Cross-examination by Alan Jackson focused on the timing of these statements and used dashcam video to break down these interactions and how her testimony does match up with what is happening on the video. Unfortunately, Jackson spent a majority of the time trying to get a "gotcha" moment by trying to prove that Katie McLaughlin and Caitlin Albert are close friends but he was unable to recreate that moment from the first trial due Special Prosecutor allowing Katie to explain her acquaintance relationship with Caitlin ahead of the Cross Examination. Jackson did manage to impeach Katie based on her words of first trial where she said that she knew of a girl by the name of Caitlin Albert that went to her school but that victory was short lived because he tried to being in picture evidence that kept being objected and sustained by Judge Cannone. Last witness of the day, Lt. Paul Gallagher, worked for the Canton Police Department at the time of the John O'Keefe's death and was the site supervisor. His testimony reveals issues with evidence handling and a lack of reports. It was his decision to use a leaf blower on the snow to uncover evidence, put blood found in the snow in Red Solo Cup and then transport them in Stop & Shop bags and found and handled the shattered drinking cocktail glass. Lt. Gallagher never wrote a report about his methods or even logged evidence with the blood he transferred. Questions about the chain of custody and why crucial information regarding Karen Read's statements was not relayed to the site supervisor. We also learn that Lieutenant Gallagher was not interviewed until just before the previous trial on April 3, 2024 by the Prosecution. We will resume with Cross Examination on Day 10. Stay tuned as we continue to follow the Karen Read Retrial and provide detailed breakdowns of each day's proceedings.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
Karen Read's Defense Cross-Examination Fails to Discredit Heather Maxon As Witness Heather Maxon testified on May 5, 2025, about what she saw on the night of January 29, 2022, stating that she observed a woman and a man in an SUV turning onto Fairview Road after midnight. This sighting is crucial for the prosecution, as it places Karen Read and John O'Keefe at the location where O'Keefe's body was later found, supporting the timeline of events leading to his death and aligning with the prosecution's narrative of Read's involvement. Maxon provided a detailed description of the vehicle and the individuals she saw, which matched the descriptions of Read's SUV and the couple, and her testimony was clear and confident, leaving little room for the defense to challenge her observations. The prosecution used this testimony to solidify their case, emphasizing the spontaneous and credible nature of her account, which adds another layer of evidence placing Read at the scene at the critical time. During cross-examination, the defense attempted to question Maxon's ability to accurately identify the vehicle and its occupants from a distance and in the dark, suggesting potential errors in her observation. However, Maxon stood by her account, stating that the street lighting was sufficient for her to make out the details she described, and she mentioned that she had no reason to pay particular attention to the vehicle at the time, adding to the credibility of her spontaneous observation. The defense's efforts to discredit her testimony appeared unsuccessful, as Maxon's straightforward and consistent recollection strengthened the prosecution's case. #KarenReadTrial #HeatherMaxon #EyewitnessAccount #ProsecutionEvidence #DefenseCross #CourtroomDrama #JohnOKeefe #MurderTrial #WitnessTestimony Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/W1usvKtssDoDay 8 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 2, 2025. The majority of the day revolved around the continued cross-examination of Jen McCabe by Alan Jackson. Her testimony is described as "incredibly difficult" and "evasive," with her struggling to answer direct questions. I break down what is and isn't a hostile witness since a lot of Law Nerds were wanting to know if it fits this situation.Group text message from Matt McCabe said, "Tell them the guy never came in the house," is highlighted, and Jen McCabe explains that "the guy" refers to John O'Keefe and that the "them" are the news reporters.McCabe is questioned about Google searches, particularly "hos long to die in cold," with discrepancies in her timeline and explanations. The 2:27 AM Google search time is also discussed, and McCabe claims she does not recall doing a search around that time.Jen McCabe was also caught calling her sister, Nicole Albert, the homeowner at 34 Fairview Rd, at 5:07am, after speaking over the phone with John O'Keefe's niece. The call log shows that they spoke for 38 seconds but Jen denies speaking to her. Questions arise about why Jen McCabe did not go inside Brian Albert Sr's house (a first responder with CPR training) for help when John O'Keefe was found, instead making phone calls to her sister, Nicole Albert, after calling 911. Jackson even questioned why she didn't go in the house after finding a John O'Keefe on the lawn because her sister, Nicole, could have been in perils danger and wasn't answering the phone according to Jen. You must check out this episode to this to hear her explanations of this, butt dials, and all of the other discrepancies in her testimony.The Re-Direct Examination, conducted by Special Prosecutor Brennan, focused on humanizing Jen McCabe and addressing claims of collusion among witnesses. In Re-Cross Examination where Alan Jackson brought up the issue of the suspended interview with federal agents. Lastly, testimony of Hannah Knowles from the Massachusetts State Police Crime Laboratory, regarding Karen Read's blood alcohol content (BAC), included the conversion from blood serum and retrograde extrapolation. Cross Examination of this witness will continue on Day 9.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
Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/tL9-DNEWaLoDay 7 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 30, 2025. Jen McCabe is back on the stand with Direct Examination. Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, asked her to recount when Karen Read said, "I hit him, I hit him, I hit him." Jen said it was in front of a female EMT and she was shock that Karen would say something like that. Direct Examination end in the morning for Alan Jackson to come in hot for a fiery Cross Examination! Jackson confronted Jen McCabe about not telling the Grand Jury that Karen said that she hit John O'Keefe and in fact she only said "Could I have hit him?" and "Did I hit him?" Jen was very evasive with her answers and even questioned Jackson. Judge Cannone would ask Jackson to move along because he would ask Jen McCabe the same question over and over again. Sometimes it would seem like he was making mountains of mole hills. Other times he would make snarky comments and the Judge would tell him to stop and tell the Jury to dismiss his comments.Jackson pointed out how Jen was corroborating stories with everyone that had been at 34 Fairview Rd the night of the 28th and the morning of the 29th. It began as early as after the Police and First Responders left the scene. Jen even went as far as to ask Julie Nagle for a screenshot of a text message of when her brother, Ryan Nagle, arrived at 34 Fairview Rd to pick her up. Jen did not share that information with Law Enforcement.The biggest discrepancy was that she initially lied to the FBI! The FBI showed up to Jen McCabe's to question her about the case. Jen asked them to wait for 10 mins before speaking with them. The FBI reminded her that it is crime to lie to them and they asked her if she called anyone before they began their conversation. Jen told them that she called her husband, Matt McCabe and her friend, Kerry Roberts. Jen ended the interview early because she felt uncomfortable with the questions they had asked her. Jen later called back the FBI to let them know that she "forgot" that she had also called 3 additional people during those 10 mins: Peggy O'Keefe, The District Attorney Witness Advocate, and Brian Albert Sr. Judge Cannone had another Freudian slip by calling Jen McCabe- Ms. Read. Ouch!There are many highlights of Jen McCabe seemingly being evasive but the biggest thing that didn't add up was her saying that she told Former Trooper Michael Proctor that she told him that she hear Karen Read say, "I hit him." However, that was not in his report. It doesn't make sense that Mr. Proctor didn't include that his report because that would have been perceived as a confession and Karen would have been in hand cuffs much sooner.RESOURCESRetrial Day 6 Case Brief - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV3yO_X6EpsSherri Papini Case - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVeiHSEo6VMWhat 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 -
The killing of Boson Police officer John O'Keefe has left a community divided. Prosecutors claim his girlfriend, Karen Read, backed her car into him and left him to die in the snow, while Read maintains that she is being framed by someone close to O'Keefe. As prosecutors present their case, they call a close friend of O'Keefe who was present the morning his body was found.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/8gU9569DwaUDay 5 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 29, 2025. The Cross Examination of Ian Whiffin continues with focusing on what was and wasn't included. Whiffin came under scrutiny, particularly when they admitted to not knowing the freezer's baseline temperature, the exact date of when he created his report or what the freezing temperature is in Fahrenheit. During Re-Direct, Whiffin demonstrated a tool he created for evaluating cell phone data.Surprisingly, Jen McCabe took the stand while Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, upped the drama by asking questions like, "And then what happened that changed everything?" Jen's testimony is clearer and more direct than in the previous trial. There have been some things that are not consistent with what she said in the first trial and we'll see how that will be confronted during Cross Examination. The Judge cut off Jen McCabe's story when Karen, Kerry Roberts and her found John O'Keefe's body in the snow and she was doing chest compressions to try to revive him. We'll pick up the rest of Direct Examination on Day 7.After the Jury was dismissed, Judge Cannone heard Brennan's Motion to Preclude ARCCA from Testifying New Opinions. The Judge Ruled in the Defense's favor and granted ARCCA to testify and enter in their report by May 7th though it wasn't without a tongue lashing. The Judge cited the Defendant's right to a fair trial as paramount even though she found that the Defense's Discovery Violations are ambushing the Prosecution's case. The Judge expects counsel comply with all rulings, rules of the court, all rules of professional conduct and no more nonsense!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
Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/OaPz08BtHZcDay 5 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 28, 2025. It began with testimony from Ian Whiffin of Cellebrite. He was approached by the Public Relations department to figure out why there is such confusion with the information from Jen McCabe's phone from the first trial. This new strategy from the Prosecution getting ahead of Jen McCabe's Google search for, "Hos long to die in cold," is smart and might take the string from that revelation when it is presented to the jury. Mr. Whiffin created a Timeline, combining health data, temperature, call/text logs, and location data from O'Keefe's phone. Cross-examination was conducted by Robert Alessi by confirming points on the timeline and highlighting what was included or left out. The Cross Examination was cut short due to the jury having a half day so that the Voir Dire of the ARCCA witnesses could be done.Hank Brennan did not use his time wisely when questioning the first ARCCA witness, Dr. Daniel Wolfe. Brennan accused Dr. Wolfe of being biased and assisting the defense with their case. Brennan yelled at Dr. Wolfe and didn't stop when the Judge asked him to. Judge Cannone eventually coaxed Brennan to move on and tighten his questioning with the next witness. The second ARCCA witness, Dr. Andrew Rentschler, admitted to having an uncomfortable lunch with Karen Read after he testified in court of the first trial. Judge Cannone requested ARCCA to send their report by May 7th. The Voir Dire is not done yet because the Prosecution and the Defense need to present their oral arguments. When will this happen?

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/3Rj_yLDmgIUDay 2 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 23, 2025. Kerry Roberts returns to the stand, but this time, her story takes a sharp turn. Roberts initially testified to the grand jury that she heard Karen Read ask Jen McCabe to "Google hypothermia." However, she later admitted this wasn't true and that she was told to say this by someone else, Jen McCabe. Kerry Roberts acknowledged that Jen McCabe helped her create a timeline of events at the suggestion of Peggy O'Keefe- John O'Keefe's Mother, which significantly influenced her testimony. Her testimony was filled with inconsistencies and contradictions, particularly under cross-examination. The Defense highlighted how her account of events changed depending on whether Jen McCabe was involved in the discussions. This further proves the Defense Case that the Police didn't conduct a thorough investigation by interviewing the witnesses timely, separate them, or tell them not to talk to each other of the events so that their recounts will not be tainted by each other. Peggy O'Keefe, testified. Her testimony was emotional and included new information, such as that Kerry Roberts and John O'Keefe went to high school together and attended junior prom, a detail that had not been mentioned by Kerry Roberts herself. Peggy described Karen Read at the hospital as being "loud" and wondered, "What is she doing here?"Trooper Nicholas Guarino took the stand to bring in foundation for Karen Read and John O'Keefe's cellphone extractions. Daniel Whitley took the stand after him, who was the first responder to take Karen Read to the hospital for a Section 12 Hold that was called in by Karen's father. While on Cross Examination, the Defense was able to point out that Daniel Whitley and Kerry Roberts seem to know each other well, proving that Canton is a small town and Karen Read is an outsider.An audio clip from a Gretchen Voss interview with Karen Read on June 20, 2023 was played to the jury. A video clip from a 20/20 Interview on September 27, 2023 also played to the jury. A different video clip was taken up for submission by Judge Cannone who will determine the next day if it will be allowed to be entered into evidence.Prosecutor Hank Brennan and Judge Cannone both had Freudian Slips with Kerry Roberts that you must stay tuned for.

Larry Moore - Cults on Trial - A Cross-Examination of Jim Jones, Charles Manson, Hitler… and Donald TrumpMay 6, 2024Dr. Moore is a Pre-Sentence Investigator for Alabama Circuit Courts, with previous careers as an ordained pastor, college educator, and author. He holds a doctoral degree from Emory University, and has been a repeat guest on various TV and radio programs. His previous eight books have garnered widespread positive reviews.The Culture of CultsOur current malaise raises questions:• Are we all soul-stained with selfishness... or is it just ahealthy survival instinct?• Where is the line between normal self-interest and full-blown Narcissism?• How do we distinguish strong leadership frommanipulation? Community from Cult?Drawing upon court cases and real world experiences, this book shows how cult gurus and “cult cultures” fit a predictable pattern, a common template of destructive traits and tactics. By studying Cult Culture, the author argues, we gain insight into current politics and Fascist demagogues.First relating his own encounter with disillusioned cult members, author Lance Moore dissects the phenomena, exposing the methods of manipulation found in cult leaders —and on a smaller scale, in our own relationships.This book is well-researched: it includes over 500 endnotes citing 500 Sources.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
We talk about a criminal trial as if it was a single event but of course that's not entirely true. A trial is made up of multiple parts starting with jury selection and going all the way to the delivery of a verdict. Not all of these stages of a trial always get attention but each of them can be tremendously important. In fact, some attorneys claim that a trial can be won or lost in the jury selection process– and that, of course, happens before any case is made to that jury. That is why we have decided to launch a new occasional series we are calling Anatomy of A Trial. In each segment, we will talk to an experienced trial lawyer who will go in depth with us about a particular piece of a trial.Our expert today is Shane Read. We will be talking with Shane about cross examination. What strategies can lawyers use? Is a long cross better — or should attorneys be keeping things short and sweet?Check out Shane's website here: https://www.shaneread.com/Check out all of his books, including Winning at Cross-Examination here: https://www.shaneread.com/booksPre-order our book on Delphi here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/shadow-of-the-bridge-the-delphi-murders-and-the-dark-side-of-the-american-heartland-aine-cain/21866881?ean=9781639369232Or here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Shadow-of-the-Bridge/Aine-Cain/9781639369232Or here: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Bridge-Murders-American-Heartland/dp/1639369236Join our Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/c/murdersheetSupport The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
