[@michellel2773]

Why are you posting this so late? This was last night's show.

[@Milz]

I think you all do great work. Super helpful for professionals who need heavy content to run the think tank through. Keep it up.

[@daffydill5590]

I think they would have been better off calling this an accident due to weather conditions. However they were drunk and paniced because they know exactly what happened. In addition there is no way that glass caused those injuries. Dog did that IMO! I think these officers are about to get God smacked!

[@Livingapril]

I think the Albert’s are way too reluctant to admit simple things on the stand for a reason ! Where is the other shoe and his baseball cap … the yard crossing could have turned into a beef … I want to hear from the expert on the injuries on his arm .. this case has epic reasonable doubt already

[@mainstreamnemesis1086]

I think Karen is innocent and I feel terrible for John's family I think they moment by moment are realizing the truth....Hopefully

[@brightmoon7132]

Thank goodness for Vinnie! Best law host and commentator hands down. He asks all the right questions. I have wondered from the beginning if this death was (a very sad) drunken accident. And Vinnie is right, why is no one talking about this possibility? The fact that no one has brought this up or is talking about it raises a lot of questions in itself.

[@justme6773]

This was my thought as well. I know it's the unpopular opinion but it makes the most sense.

[@OliviaNile]

Because she was charged with murder… not an accident. Plus, the evidence supports her innocence.

[@Stanfordmom-]

I agree with all of your comments I’ve always thought this was just an accident!! The DA def over charged her and I think because he was Ana officer of the law that’s why they charged. Her with M. IMO , if he wasn’t an officer of the law I’m not sure if she wouldn’t have been charged with such a hash penalty

[@tcreative8030]

​@@OliviaNile She's also charged with vehicular manslaughter, so the jury can go in that direction and probably will. How do her "fans" not know this? And what "evidence". Give us all a break.

[@OliviaNile]

@@tcreative8030 You should probably read the comment that you’re replying to. OP asks the question why people aren’t considering the possibility that it was an accident. Lesser includeds don’t change the fact that she was charged with second degree murder, not an accident.

You were there huh? 😉🙄🙄🙄

[@julybliss4440]

Julie grant and other guest say they can't see how or why approx a dozen cops would and could conspire to murder fellow officer? That's why it's called "cover up" and not blatant murder conspiracy. They are trying to cover up an accident they did, and not necessarily create conspiracy to murder. Answer- Well it don't have to be intentional. They could of been acting like the hard as* they portray in photos with middle fingers, shadow boxing, and provoking or collaborating the nevercracker personality by wanting to brawl with O'Keefe, and then went to far themselves and having aggressive dog accidentally intervene. They obviously have a disregard for there actions as you see them treat O'Keefes lawn as joke. They have a disregard for crime and scenes when it's right in front of there house. How can they have the responsibility to assume official authority capacity when this is how they act when off the clock? Just ignoring a fallen brother. When haven't cops went as far as parading fallen officers around town and creating convoys in support? How can you say it's hard to get cops to agree on anything when it has been publicly acknowledged that they agree on not being investigated by third parties outside of law enforcement and for them not to be recorded without restrictions? Two issues that go hand in hand in conspiracies. At the top of the list in creating conspiracy or cover up. I have been labeled as nevercracker and I also have been continually provoked to express the nevercracker personality that others have labeled me as. That provoking has and could easily lead to them fighting me and has. Which could of caused harm to myself.

[@GinaSisto]

I wonder what Johns family is thinking

[@lisajeter9511]

I think they believe Karen Read is Lying. But interesting I wonder if it’s crossed their minds if someone inside of that house was involved in his death?

[@user-ni2eh3ob4n]

Cops are so quick to think about placing blame upon her instead of looking at the people who were in the house at the time of his death.

[@ktermalkut8332]

their SWORN job in this case was to cover up for the alberts

[@sugarray8820]

It’s so insane to me that the cops on scene said there was no probable cause to check in the house. Why not? Obviously they are still trying to figure out what happened and maybe that would have lead them somewhere. Also, how do you not come to look to see what is going on outside of your house, cop or no cop. As the resident of the property, shouldn’t the cops be required to make sure they know what’s going on? That right there plus the search and deletion by Jennifer is super sketchy. In my opinion, this is a cover up. There are too many coincidences of things happening.

[@lisajeter9511]

Speculating on what her BA level was hours before isn’t going to work. She could say she went home and drank!

[@diannehartnett5179]

Can we please listen to these knuckleheads? Are you kidding me? Perhaps Karen thought it was a good idea to go home. She works regular hours compared to the majority of the Canton police officers. John's teen niece was home alone. Wouldn't it have been a good idea to head home? It is snowing, and John has been drinking for at least 6 hours. I am trying to watch with a fresh set of eyes. Regarding Jen McCabe telling Karen you are coming with me more than once at the Waterfall, perhaps Karen was ready to go home. Just like the other wives. Why would Jen McCabe Google how long it takes for a body to die in the cold or snow after 2 am? Reasonable doubt for sure!

[@user-ni2eh3ob4n]

What up Vinnie !!! Really like how you can get right to the bottom of this mess .

[@kaseywilliams4398]

I don't think it's that difficult to figure out, I believe she hit him because why else would she wake up in a panic?I believe she was pretty drunk and when she started to sober up and wake up she had a memory of doing it and freaked out. Otherwise if she hadn't have had that memory she would just assumed that he was still where she dropped him off because it was late when she dropped him off and they were drinking so why would she think that it would be weird that he didn't come home. How would he have gotten home? I think they fought on the way over there because she probably just wanted to go home and have him to herself and he wanted to party with his friends. It's a very common fight and she probably felt like his friends were more important. She was super drunk and hit him with her car, probably didn't think it was that big of a deal until she sobered up and he hadn't come home and she remembered what she did and was like oh s***.

[@elisavelasquezlive]

I believe your theory.

[@sassymama_]

Yep! John never went into that house & she knew right where he was!

If the glass is what caused the cuts on his arm there would of been pieces in his arm same with the taillight.. and every bar buys the same type of cocktail glass

[@allygirls1]

Kevin made some excellent points. He showed that you don't see any broken remnants from the tail light on the snow and it appears to be in good order. Also, glass, tail light fragments and even rocks can cause scratches. I am wondering if she hit him from the front instead from the behind? There was a case a few years ago where a woman was arguing with her partner and they were both drunk. She accidently hit him from the front and he died. She was in jail for 6 months, luckily she didn't get a long sentence, which I am surprised.

[@Tammy_26Irwin]

But then there would be damage to the front end of her car and there wasn’t no let’s think about this logically this man is 6 foot two weighs about 230 pounds but the only damage to her car is her rear tail light. Give me a break.

There are many couples who can get into a heated fight from one moment to the next. Even within 5 minutes. All it takes is one wrong word, mixed with alcohol or jealousy.

[@novascotiaskater1868]

One drunken night in a bar where they are getting along doesn't mean their relationship wasn't toxic or almost over... it just means that on this night in the bar they were getting along... the second they got in the car they could have started arguing... I don't think she's guilty of murder at all ... but their behavior in one situation doesn't mean that's how it always was..

[@jessicabreen2961]

I think the broken glass could tell a lot! It determines if he went into that house or not! She had ordered a glass drink but if you look at Det. Lank's hand holding the glass (him having a larger hand) vs Karen holding the glass when grabbing it from the bartender....the comparison of it being held by each for the size of their hands.

You just can't sway me to believe that she had anything to do with this man's murder !!!!

[@2centswanted113]

Im fairly confident the defense does not say ambush. That implies they planned to mirder him which isn't what the defense said.

[@pattil7947]

The simplest explanation is usually the right one, they all drank a lot & ( drive) they all know better, but are “ special “ ,Karen probably hit him by accident , maybe didn’t realize it…that’s the simplest explanation to me…

There must be a ton of people in the Boston area who have had shady dealings with corrupt Leo's. Most cops are good, I think. It's up to the good ones to turn in the bad ones. I don't see that happening any time soon, unfortunately.

[@jessicabreen2961]

The 45 pieces of tail light were found during the second run of looking for evidence at the scene. I think them finding the partial glass hurts them in a complete different way. How were they able to find a partial clear glass upon the first search for evidence at the scene but didn't find more obvious and "viewable" pieces of evidence upon the arrival it took going back to the scene m. This is strictly my opinion!

[@giigity]

Either it was an accident and she realized she’s in too deep now or something happened in that house. Either way, the fact they charged her with murder is reaching. Curious to see how this trial unfolds, bc this is headed towards a not guilty verdict..

[@novascotiaskater1868]

I don't understand how she got charged with a DUI when she was charged with second-degree homicide because the police did not see her behind the wheel... they know she was behind the wheel and they know she was drinking but the test were eight hours later and I thought that the police had to see you behind the wheel of a vehicle that's turned on in order to charge you with a DUI?

Some of these witnesses are being less than truthful. I’m looking forward to the defense’s cross exam of these thugs.

[@rhondapotter128]

I think both sides can be motive, by that i mean...she is angry and they fight and she is drunk and hits him, and the other side, he goes in the house...everyone is drinking, there is an argument and they fight and he accidentally falls and hits his head, now you have to look at the evidence to see which one is more plausible. Some one said...why are they planning it in the morning. I dont think they did...i think the were hoping the plow driver would believe he hit him...but then that didn't happen..and a new plan was made!

36:53 the cocktail glass was right beside him because he was holding it.... they didn't find the shoe because when you hit someone at 24 mph they literally get thrown out of their shoes... the shoe could have been found 30-40 feet away - we don't know where they said they found it do we? I might have missed that.... I'm still not saying she's guilty.

[@_xntrk]

Tail lights can break and not shatter. Ever hear of a crack or fracture? And guess what happens to things that are cracked...over time vibrations can cause them to come loose and fall out of place, they don't immediately fall out of place and cause a visible mess of debris.
