Karen Read's Words Will Come Back To Haunt Her In New Trial, Attorney Bob Motta Explains How What happens when your own words might be the thing that buries you in court? As the sequel to Karen Read's trial heats up, Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to dive into the mess of interviews, inconsistent statements, and a tsunami of alleged lack-of-empathy moments that could shift the jury's mood from curious to convicted. We're talking about a case where the evidence might not scream “murder,” but the personality on display just might whisper it over cocktails. Karen's public commentary is set to become courtroom content, and while it doesn't prove she allegedly killed John O'Keefe, it definitely doesn't win her any popularity contests. The problem? Her own narrative shapeshifts more than a soap opera plotline. One moment she dropped him off, the next he walked into the house, or maybe he didn't. Karen's version of events bends to fit the vibe of the day, and the court might not be feeling flexible. As her defense team braces for an onslaught of interview clips, the bigger question looms: Will she be forced to testify just to clean up her own mess? Is this really a murder case—or a masterclass in how to self-destruct in public? #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrimePodcast #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillers #CourtroomDrama #TrialTwist Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

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?

How Will A Jury Take Karen Read's Admission Of 'He Didn't Look Mortally Wounded' In New Trial, Attorney Bob Motta Talks Could Karen Read's own words be the thing that seals her fate? The sequel trial is heating up, and this time, the prosecution's bringing receipts—dozens of interview clips featuring Karen Read and her, well... less-than-empathetic takes. Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to unravel how these new elements could flip the courtroom dynamics. We're talking contradictions galore—from blurry “I don't remember” moments to crystal-clear alternate versions of events that shift like a drunk trying to explain where their phone went last night. And while none of this screams “murderer,” it definitely doesn't scream “jury favorite” either. With Judge Canonne possibly allowing these statements if the defense points fingers again, Read could find herself caught in a trap of her own making—unless she testifies, which could unleash a whole new level of chaos. Can someone really believe in their innocence so hard they talk themselves into trouble? Or is this all part of a larger game of courtroom chess with someone else's life on the line? #KarenRead #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillersPodcast #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #JohnOKeefe #MurderTrial 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?

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?

Join Ben and Rahul for their in-depth discussion of Ben's recent three-week jury trial in which Ben represented a little girl who developed cerebral palsy following the development of necrotizing enterocolitis in the NICU.  Ben discusses how decision-making guided by big data led to him and his client to turning down an $11 million offer after closing arguments to take a verdict.  He discusses what he learned following extensive discussions with jurors following the trial. Ben describes how this verdict influences his thinking about data, risk and approach to trial moving forward.About Ben Gideonhttps://gideonasen.com/our-team/benjamin-gideon/Ben grew up in Portland, Maine, attended public schools and graduated from Deering High School in 1989. Ben's father, Martin Rogoff, was a prominent member of the Maine Law School faculty, so Ben grew up immersed in discussions of the law. Ben began to develop his legal skills early in life through nightly arguments with his father at the dinner table.In high school, Ben played varsity soccer and was the captain of the hockey team. Following high school, Ben attended Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. Ben attempted to walk on to the Cornell hockey team, but was eventually cut from the team, ending his hockey career. Depressed and disappointed at this failure, Ben became a poor student, failed several classes, and was told he was being suspended from college on academic probation.After rehabilitating himself through some community college courses, Ben was able to gain re-admission to Cornell and to complete his degree. Ben applied to law school and was admitted to Boston University School of Law. There, Ben was a standout student. His grades were so exceptional after his first year that he was accepted as a transfer student to Yale Law School where he earned his law degree.Ben began his career in private practice at a large, multi-national law firm, Latham & Watkins, in New York City. He practiced there for several years before deciding to return to Maine to join Berman & Simmons, PA, Maine's largest plaintiff's law firm.EDUCATIONCornell University, 1993Yale Law School, 1999RECOGNITIONSThe Inner Circle of Advocates, 100 of the Best Plaintiff Lawyers in the U.S., 2019-presentAmerican College of Trial Lawyers, Fellow, 2020-present, Top 1% of all lawyersAmerica's Top 100 Attorneys ― Listed in Maine for Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, and Products Liability, 2017The Best Lawyers in America ― 2013–present; “Lawyer of the Year,” 2016–presentSuper Lawyers ― “Super Lawyer,” 2013–presentMartindale-Hubbell ― Top Rated “AV Preeminent”Chambers & Partners USA ― Listed for Litigation: Medical Malpractice & Insurance and Mainly PlaintiffBenchmark Litigation ― “Litigation Star”AVVO — Rated 10.0 out of 10MEMBERSHIPSMaine Board of Overseers of the Bar, Professional Ethics CommissionMaine State Bar AssociationAmerican Association for Justice (AAJ)American Bar AssociationGovernor, Maine Trial Lawyers AssociationADMISSIONSMaine (2003)U.S. District Court, District of Maine (2010)Vermont (2016)New Hampshire (2010)U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (2002)New York (2000) A Leader at Berman & SimmonsDuring his years at Berman & Simmons, Ben rose from an associate to become an owner and practice leader at the firm.

Ben achieved success in a broad range of different types of plaintiff's cases—police civil rights, product liability, medical malpractice, nursing home, maritime and industrial accidents.Early in his career, Ben achieved a landmark civil rights verdict against a police officer for violating his client's civil rights with a Taser shooting. The verdict was affirmed on appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.In 2014, after 4 ½ year of litigation, Ben achieved a record-setting $22.5 million jury verdict in Burlington, Vermont, on behalf of a utility lineman who lost both of his legs during a high-voltage powerline switching operation.Ben followed his Vermont verdict with a verdict of $1.75 million jury verdict in a medical malpractice trial in Bangor, Maine.More recently, Ben recovered $2.5 million in a medical malpractice case tried to a jury in New Hampshire.Over the past decade, no other plaintiff's lawyer in Maine can match Ben's level of success on behalf of his clients, which include:Recovering more than $130 million in verdicts and settlementsAchieving 31 verdicts or settlements in excess of $ 1 millionRecovering more than $50 million for the victims of medical malpracticeRecovering tens of millions of dollars for victims of car and trucking accidents.Recovering more than $11 million in actions against major automobile manufacturers, including Toyota, Hyundai, and Fiat ChryslerRecovering more than $15 million from power and electrical utility companiesRecovering millions of dollars for families of the victims of the El Faro maritime disasterRecovering more than $5 million from 3 trials and several settlements of medical malpractice and personal injury against the U.S. GovernmentRecovering millions of dollars for victims of nursing home negligence and abuseRecovering millions of dollars for victims of dangerous and defective productsPeer RecognitionBen's accomplishments, professionalism and character have won him the recognition of his peers.

Here is how ACTL describes the qualifications required for membership:Membership in the College cannot exceed one percent of the total lawyer population of any state or province.Founding Gideon Asen LLCAfter 17 years at Berman & Simmons, in November 2020, Ben decided to leave one firm he loved and had helped to build, to form a new law firm, Gideon Asen LLC.“I was very proud of everything we accomplished at Berman & Simmons,” Ben said, “but I was excited by the challenge of building a new firm that could be even better.”Ben's first step was to recruit Taylor Asen to join him.“Taylor and I have a common mission,” Ben said. “Although we're separated by 12 years, Taylor also attended Yale Law School and completed prestigious Federal clerkships. He's insanely smart.”“But perhaps more important, Taylor and I share a common vision of a plaintiff's law firm where clients have access to exceptional lawyers and service. We are both supremely competitive and don't tolerate mediocrity. We believe we owe it to our clients to give them the very best, and that is what Gideon Asen will provide.”Podcast, Writing and TeachingBen enjoys thinking about the practice of trial law and strategies for success and is a frequent writer and speaker on trial topics.Ben co-hosts a podcast called Elawvate! which focuses on the human factors and guiding principles that drive successful lawyers and law firms.Personal Life and InterestsBen lives in Freeport, Maine, with his wife, Sara Gideon, and three children, Julian, Aleksandr, and Anna Josephine.

Join Ben and Rahul for their discussion with Jake and Tor, breaking down the recent 495 million Dollar verdict in a product liability case against Abbott Laboratories for pre-term infant formula that increases the risks for developing necrotizing enterocolitis. Hear how Jake and Tor navigated this difficult case and won this epic battle. About Jacob Plattenbergerhttps://www.torhoermanlaw.com/team/jake-plattenberger/Jacob Plattenberger has taken hundreds of depositions, argued in countless hearings, and tried over 35 cases to a jury.His experience in and out of the courtroom has made him a passionate advocate for those injured due to the negligence of others.Jake started his career trying cases at one of the busiest civil courthouses in the country – the Richard J. Daley Center in downtown Chicago.He started out doing insurance defense because he knew that afforded him the best opportunity to get courtroom experience.“When I was working on the defense side, I always knew that I was going to be a plaintiff's lawyer. I knew that being able and willing to try a case to a jury was a skill that I needed to have if I was going to be able to offer my clients the best legal representation. Insurance companies and corporate defendants need to believe you when you say you will take them to trial – they need to fear that.”This type of real trial experience is exceedingly rare in complex civil litigation and having seen it from the defense side gives Jake an added advantage.At TorHoerman Law, Jake manages our Chicago office where he leads trial teams in nationwide, complex litigations such as:Representing dozens of workers across the United States who were exposed to Diacetyl at work and now suffer lung diseaseeg. The Juul/E-cigarette LitigationThe Incretin Mimetics Products Liability Litigation, currently pending in the Southern District of California, where he was named to the Plaintiff's Steering CommitteeVarious Transvaginal Mesh multidistrict litigations that are currently pendingJake also maintains a personal injury practice in Chicago, representing people and their families who have been victims of catastrophic auto and truck accidents, products liability, maritime accidents, premises liability, and medical negligence.Jake believes that to successfully represent his clients, it is absolutely necessary to get personally involved.Jake's quote below perfectly reflects that belief! Notable Cases & ResultsIncretin Mimetics – Products Liability Litigation, MDL Case No. 13MD2452 AJB (MDD).

Clayton, MO; and Chicago, IL to kickstart operations; all three offices remain open today.In the time since opening THL, Tor and his team have litigated many pharmaceutical malpractice and personal injury cases.Notable Successes at THLTor's most notable successes while operating THL are perhaps co-leading the litigations against Boehringer Ingelheim's Pradaxa and Takeda's Actos.Through intense research and vetting, Tor was able to find substantial evidence indicating Actos causes bladder cancer and Pradaxa causes internal bleeding.He then presented the evidence to the companies, which decided to settle the cases.Tor played a significant role in negotiating these settlements, which ended up being $650 million for Pradaxa and $2.4 billion for Actos.Tor has also had major success in several other product liability lawsuits, such as Zelnorm, Gadolinium-based Contrast Agents, and Incretin Mimetics.We've outlined these cases, a few other notable cases, and their correlating results in the section below.Recognition & AwardsHis successes with these cases and beyond earned him the distinction as a Top 25 Notable Alumni from the Chicago-Kent School of Law, which was awarded to him and 24 other lawyers out of the tens of thousands who have graduated from the school since its founding in 1888.Tor is also recognized as a Top 100 National Trial Lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers Organization. Notable Cases & ResultsPradaxa (Dabigatran Etexilate) – Products Liability Litigation, MDL 2385 – Appointed by Judge Herndon as national lead counsel in the MDL.
