My question is are the phones work phones or personal phones? Are they using personal phones at work? If they are used at work then it's a protected public record. We can look at GPS, text, social media, calls and whatever else the phone was used for, they can pull cell tower data and know exactly who is in the area. That POS ATF knows this, hell they all know this and are dirty AF. I bet this murder is not the worse crime "they" have committed. Where are the FBI and DoJ agents? Didn't the FBI assure us they will crack down on government corruption?

[@BostonMA781]

@@sarasmilesco8551 we’re talking 6:30am… before the police supposedly didn’t know who/what/where/when/how/why. At the very start of the investigation, 11 people inside wasn’t even a factor. When you respond to a crime scene - you secure it and start your investigation. Finding of who was/wasn’t in the house and what they possibly saw comes much later. And several of the 11 people you include in your headcount weren’t interviewed for a year later, so you cannot say the police didn’t enter the house because 11 people never saw him go inside. The morning OJO was found those 11 people weren’t even known. Names and headcount were yet to be accounted for. An unconscious body on a front lawn at 6:30am is 100% probable cause...

Because he was killed in a prominent family's home by his supposed friends and fellow officers. Because the prosecutor's office is highly corrupt and in the pocket of said prominent family and friends with said murderous officers. Because if Karen Reed does not go down for this then the prosecutor will be expected to ACTUALLY DO THEIR JOB and prosecute the real murderers and conspirators, and that just cannot happen in this town. Because if Karen Reed does not go down for this then the police will be expected to investigate their own corruption, which also cannot happen. The list goes on as to why the prosecutor keeps pushing forward and it all stinks to high heaven. They hope that because it's a conspiracy and rational people tend to automatically dismiss the idea of conspiracies that they will get away with this. Unfortunately though, in this case, this is very much a conspiracy between the family, the police and the prosecutor's office. This case is horrible and John and Karen deserve so much better. If you live in this town, run. If you think this cannot happen to you, it can. This is despicable.

Can we talk about these blood drops? If he was there at 1245 am, there would have been an inch or two of snow. His head wound bled at least 3L of blood-that amount would have melted the snow. The blood would be in the dirt. The drops of blood likely came from moving the body to the stretcher. Therefore the body needed to be on the farther side of the drops because from testimony we know they had the stretcher on the street for stability. So they wouldn’t have moved him further into the yard to have to carry him back out. How can no one see these simple easy to spot problems with the facts presented?

Sadly she was willing to lie which made her testimony questionable at best. Especially given other people there did not report it the same was as she claimed it was said.

How can they let the family sit so close to Karen?

[@EC-dz3fb]

The Defense team actually seem to think it's okay. They objected to the first courtroom, so it was switched, and they approved this one. That approval included the seating chart.

[@stingerfan30]

hang in there Karen you got this! no way this clown show is going to last, the truth will come out.

[@yvettethomas5533]

AMEN!!! 🌸🌸FKR🌸🌸👮‍♂️👮‍♂️JUSTICE FOR OFFICER JOHN O'KEEFE👮‍♂️👮‍♂️

[@stevenprice6957]

Karen will get karma further down the line. Psycho Read drunk to much and anger and jealousy got the better of her. A man died because of her actions. It’s as simple as that.

[@stingerfan30]

@@stevenprice6957 Colin Albert is that you?? bang bang!

[@deenak79]

MISSING SHOE WAS PROBABLY WRAPPED UP IN THE BLOODY CARPET THEY DISPOSED!!!!

[@jMci726]

Idk about a mass cover up but I do know that these are a bunch of good ole boys who are used to doing whatever they want, breaking every rule, doing horrid police work with zero accountability, and they found themselves in the wrong case here! Cover up no cover up they have no true case bc of their gross incompetence. This case should be thrown out

[@soniaf6156]

Calling perjury on KMclaughlin is ridiculous, a lawyer knows better.

[@lisajeter9511]

This witness that said she didn’t recognize the Albertsons house is surely telling a lie.

[@maliamarin5718]

I would just wish to God if I ever got in trouble I would have these defense attorneys. They’re absolutely amazing.!!!!!!!❤

[@janeferguson1246]

Her lawyers ate quite good. The police didn't follow So Many normal procedures! Why???????

[@Physics072]

Huge mistake from Lt. Paul Gallagher when he said seeing the glass in the yard was not unusual because they had come from a bar/restaurant. So he is assuming that a police officer stole the glass (which he did) than the glass coming from the house party he was invited to?

[@jasonryals2560]

Secure your crime scene, call a crime scene expert on the show and get their opinion but it’s 2024 jurors probably have seen a CSI episode before

[@RationalGaze216]

I'm always amazed at the terrible sound quality of 911 call recordings. They're asking us to listen to what's happening in the background, I can barely hear what's being said in the foreground.

[@EC-dz3fb]

Unfortunately, they're not "asking us" - they're asking the jury. Let's pray they can hear it better than us!

[@glo3139]

Funny that you paused on sequences when the Judge allowed a question to come in, because the MAJORITY of the time, she wasn’t favorable to the defense team. We’re all wondering why, and why she seems to be helping the prosecution with her own questions and statements.

[@ohioh111b111y]

So Karen goes back to the Party because John didnt return home. What was the PREARRANGED plan for him to get home IF HE DIDNT HAVE A CAR? No, there was no reason for her to go back UNLESS she had a designated time to pick him up. Does she have text with this info between herself and the dead guy?

[@debrashawcross170]

From Reports, there are details of 17 People at Scene, includes within the Albert's Home, and Chloe the Dog. And Experienced Plough Driver ... A total of 18 People that potentially have details of what happened.

[@user-cd9tv1pj3f]

I can see why you're no longer a prosecutor. She claimed she wasn't very close to this woman. But ahhh. You seen a photo of them together.!!! That does not prove how friendly they were

[@jenniferruth812]

Why doesn’t this police dept use body cams? This happened in 2022; there’s no excuse for not using body cams. That makes me distrust this dept even apart from this case.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

Wait for the all the evidence.

[@sandybrockman]

I’ve been following this for a long time. I’m glad the world is really seeing it now. If you go back and watch all the pre-trial stuff you will be more outraged

[@porscha4489]

The amount of people saying she is guilty is scary! Disregarding the dog bites and scratches, lack of dents on the car, lack of bruising to his torso etc come on now

[@ltee2261]

Also we have - Hos long to die in the cold?

[@porscha4489]

Seriously! I’m so baffled that people can be so gullible! Those cops in the house did this! Karen may have been drunk but didn’t hit him. She went home mad because he didn’t come back out and dozed off then got up realized he still wasn’t home at 5am I wouldve ran back to that house too looking for my man

[@bbwaddict_shae]

Seriously blows my mind how people come up with their conclusions on her being guilty.

[@ashleyrocha1028]

And don’t forget the missing shoe and hat. Nothing in this case adds up and prosecution is doing a terrible job presenting the embarrassing evidence that they do have.

[@notsorryyouretriggered]

@@bbwaddict_shae The harsh reality is that most people are not very critical or smart. The “guilty” verdict crew is proof of that.

[@kabra72]

They did what the could at that time..I love the leafblower, the solocups, yeah it is questionable. 😂

[@mistyevans8160]

You are describing whst our justice system used to be. And there are plenty of proven liars.

[@hla333]

Why does this Judge have constant sidebars? So annoying!

[@indigoldf]

You can tell by her body language.. she is lying. Guilty

Caitlin Albert was allegedly also in the home and last to leave ?

[@RationalGaze216]

This seems like one of those towns where if you score too high on an IQ test, you can't be a cop.

[@lisal2018]

The cop that died parents need to sue the state for how this crime scene was treated.

This Judge is a serious unprofessional JOKE.

[@danidan9917]

Yes - doesn't even ask them to give basis for objections. She's sassy but dumb sassy

Red solo cup!

[@kvacka]

Even the prosecution case kinda clears Karen Reed. She would be found guilty only if there were 12 Alberts in the jury...

[@katrinat.3032]

Vinnie can you show a diagram of the courtroom and who is sitting where

[@mondoenterprises6710]

He may have been kicked out of the house after a beat down and collapsed.

[@barrettlori9249]

"Half Hazard" Exactly! They went through the motion's just not intently 😮

Surprised they didn't also use a hair dryer ...

LT. Kelleher was NOT home. He called Dispatch to make sure the Emergency was not at his house. It's recorded.

[@Floridafanatic28]

I want to know if there is any of John's DNA on the back of Karen's car where she allegedly stuck him. If there was blood in the snow on the lawn there should be blood or skin cells on the car too.

[@astrialindah2773]

How much do you want to bet that they never even checked her bumper at all . . given the rest of the buffoonery
