After seeing Kerry Roberts testify, I felt so cranky with Jenn McCabe for the way she represented Kerry Roberts to the court. She clearly over exaggerated & also took ownership of things that Kerry Roberts was actually the one to do or say/request. She also mimicked Kerry Roberts, and referred to her as an over-talker... so was basically insulting to another witness as well as to Karen Read. Personally, Kerry Roberts came across as genuine and sincere, and was clearly genuinely upset about John's passing - Kerry Robert's emotion on the stand is the most genuine we've seen all trial.

She really thinks that out of all the witnesses, she could poison everyone against Kerry and we'd refuse to believe anything she said. Too bad for her that Jen's the witness that most people don't believe. Kerry turned out to be the most credible of the whole trial that's even close to the friend circle because she showed that seeing John's body still effects her to the point of sobbing and she gave off the vibe of just telling it how it happened instead of trying to weave a story of "Karen crazy lol and I'm the only good party" and Kerry also made it clear that she doesn't like Karen but she still didn't try to spin anything. Only thing we can agree that Jen was telling the truth about was the harassment and her thinking of Karen as a "babysitter with benefits".

@RunkleOfTheBailey - When chat was saying you skipped the best part, they meant the part about when Jen suddenly came up with the "I hit him" story. At the start of re-cross, Jackson gets Jen to confirm that, in April 2023, there were public hearings about her cellbrite extraction and the "Hos long to die in cold" search on 1/29/22 @2:27am. That's when all the harassment began, as the public was outraged to learn that she had allowed John to die in the cold. Only then, 2 months later, in June 2023, did Jen claim Karen said, "I hit him, I hit him, I hit him" for the 1st time - in order to redirect the public's finger-pointing!

Mrs. McCabe's already decided that Karen is guilty, even though all she should do is give her honest account as a witness. She thinks she's part of the prosecution team because she played detective "trying to figure out what happened to John". IMO, Trooper Proctor took her spin of the story and ran with it and she felt validated by that and then they just reinforced each other's idea of what happened.

Jen McCabe seems like more or a "Karen" than Karen does.. according to the testimony we've seen so far. I mean, yes Karen Read had a jealousy attack in Aruba but she had the balls to go and apologise after calming down (Yes that sometimes takes a day or two) and whoever talks about "but she tried to buy forgiveness with money" yeah no... People please remember: Giving gifts or buying stuff can be a love language. Some people feel good when buying stuff for others and hope to make those others feel good by getting those gifts. And we don't know Karen's background growing up. It might be that a family member acted like that, too. (Like the father buying flowers or something as an apology when her mom was mad at him, e.g.) If nothing else, Karen seems to be quite generous to me. I don't see Jen McCabe sincerely apologising ever... Her testimony feels like "if it doesn't go like I want, it won't go at all" to me.
@AnastasiaRoseDamrau4 ай бұрын
The impression I've gotten of Karen Read from the testimony is that she's socially awkward. There's been testimony from multiple people of her seemingly attempting to buy acceptance, love, friendship, relationships by spending money, and I think it's because she has experience with so-called friends whose "friendship" is conditional on what she can do for them and especially what money she can spend on them. That trauma even bled into her relationships with the kids as she attempted to bond with them by spending money on Dunkin Donuts and expensive clothes and going with the niece to get their nails done. John understood it as spoiling the kids, and Karen perhaps didn't understand how she could be worthy of their love if she didn't spend money on them.

Honestly I’m surprised she did not end up with an exacerbation leading to hospitalization, not the psych hold.

I fell asleep watching the first time and I rewatched JUST to see Runkle react to the beginning of re-cross. Specifically, when Jackson pointed out that the first record of Jen claiming Karen said "I hit him" was 2 months AFTER the harassment started. He also pointed out that the harassment only started after the 2am google search was publicized. And then Runkle skipped right past it! The audacity.

The M.E. said he was missing 3 pints of blood. Where was it? There is a witness who told someone what happened to John in that house, in the basement. The same basement where the Alberts ripped out & replaced the flooring right after John died. The same basement that would explain the flights of stairs John's Apple Health Data show he climbed & decended just before he passed. Pretty sure there aren't any stairs in the front yard.....

The thing she does where she wields the harassment she's received like a shield against uncomfortable questions reminds me of every KZbinr "apology"/drama response ever, where they give a halfhearted "I'm sorry if you felt hurt, I was in a bad headspace, etc. etc." before launching into a rant about how everyone watching or wanting accountability is actually evil because some people sent death threats. Yeah, we know harassment is awful, that's common sense to anyone with half a brain, but being on the receiving end of it is not also a "get out of jail free" card you can wave around whenever someone asks a question you don't want to answer. You're not the one whose son or brother was left to die alone in the cold -- you haven't even shed a single tear for him, despite John O'Keefe being the real focus of this trial, but you're more than happy to show the world how upset you are about how YOU are affected. Officer O'Keefe's family is in the room, watching, and you want to make it all about you? Give me a break.

@DyslecticAttack4 ай бұрын
They called her because she's a witness central to their case, and having the defense call them first would make them look far worse. They were forced to prosecute by the CW, and the Judge declined motions for extensions of both defense and prosecution to get to trial. So the best thing for the prosecution is to not look like they're hiding anything, and to attempt to get in front of the bad demeanor and inconsistencies of this central witness.

@@Singingfan57 to be fair, they're not forced. They by all means should, since failing to do so means the entire case could get thrown out for reasonable doubt, but they're not legally obligated by the court. And as commentors have loved reminding people, the Judge allegedly made a snide remark to the defense pre-trial of "but what if the prosecution doesn't call Proctor, what'll you do then?". So if we were to believe that, then the Judge probably wouldn't throw it out on those basis, so they'd have more leeway not to call him.

So in police questioning she can actually just answer what she is asked but on the stand under penalty of perjury she cant give a straight answer to save her life? A man died, literally a man lost his life and Jenny here is adamant on playing this game of I wasnt specifically asked about such and such but I insist on give exposition and narrative on every answer Mr. Jackson can successfully pull out of me. She is disgusting. When she keeps spouting on about being harassed and how she is being tortured by the public all I could think was how do you think Karen Read feels having been drug through the mud because of you and your cohorts claims that she killed a man? Claims that as of this point seem faker than an AI bot and that having mean things said to and about you isnt torture, officer John O'Keefe was found appearing to have been beaten and have marks that strangely resemble animal claws on his arm. That Mrs. McCabe is torture. Also her saying I will never forget her saying I hit him, I hit him, I hit him while having not mentioned it 12 times before is ridiculous. She strikes me as the kind of person that would lie on a server to get a free meal not caring that it could cost that server their job as long as she got her way.

Jen did more to sway my view than anyone so far, and she pushed me fully towards the defenses side. The way she flip flopped and dodged. The way she did exactly as the defense accused her of acting, ie trying to be controlling. The fact that this was her friend who died and she only showed any emotion when talking about what she has been through. She even admitted to getting her story straight with other witnesses. And she more than anyone said she saw tire marks that should have been pointing like an arrow to a body and she saw nothing. Then the common wealth built up Kerry like she would rip the defenses story wide open, and she dismantled what Jen said. So much so that the defense didn't even cross And to cap the day off, the dramatic Aruba story was, "Gf gets mad at bf drunk hugging another woman." That would be a nothing burger in a city bar, it's even more understandable on a trip. No one wants to find out their significant other is cheating on them on vacation when you're stuck with them. And if she had ever been cheated on before she would have even more reason to react.

We had an old lady in my street when I was really little. She had a big mastiff as a dog and that dog was so lazy she always had to have a bone in her pocket when talking him for a walk xD That dog was the nicest dog to ever dog but the instant someone came to that house you heard his bark and he had a loud bark, as a reminder to not do something fishy. He also loved her old red VW Beetle and the few times my dad took that beetle to repair something (he's a car mechanik) he was the absolute evil to that dog. (No biting but he made it very clear that taking the car was not welcome) But my dad was his best friend when he brought the car back xD

But the point is, even her almost pathologically friendly dog would bark at the unusual. Then mayyyybe snuggle the unusual, but only after alerting.

Brian Albert knows EXACTLY what to do during an investigation and he used that to his advantage to start covering up their tracks. Whatever happened in that house, those are DEFINITELY dog bites on his arm. Nicole Albert Testified that she knows where Chloe is (Vermont)... So, go there & get a damn sample of her DNA and prove it once and for all!!! Jen McCabe is a rotten human being and they ALL deserve to be harassed for their lies.

The sad thing is I'm starting to see the story Defense is telling us. From what I can piece together from only watching the trial, they think that John did go to that party, maybe Karen left him at the waterfall and he found his way to their house. Someone got into it with him at the party, maybe Colin, maybe the two Brian's. I'm not sure. Chloe the dog definitely got involved and attacked his arm. Maybe he got knocked out cold in their house. Everyone panicked and they needed to get him out of the house. So Brian Higgins used his plow to carry him to the front of the yard so they could claim a car hit him. If any of that is true, I'm so angry at these people. But the Commonwealth has given me no reason to disbelieve the Defense at all.
