The judge needs to be admonished and probably forced to retire or be fired. She changed the form to offer guilty for each charge OR innocent on ALL charges option, that was it…no innocent on each charge- this is 1000% the judges fault. Also, she is friends with the decedents family and bailed out John’s brother from jail when he got his DUI leaving someone in a wheelchair from a drunk driving accident last year. She should’ve recused herself- she made many more mistakes than this in the trial. This entire city is filled with half ass professionals or full blown criminal city workers. No one in this town did anything about all the corruption for decades…now that they’re being called out, and only now, they’re FINALLY standing up for change. What a mess.

It’s all John’s fault. He doesn’t want to fight argue whatever. Males or most Steve into that. I know I’m not. So the data lines right up but at 12:31 when he never moves again, Karen is scooting to his place. 12:37. I f--g hate you John. Keys go forward 2 days after the crime for a sec, yanetti , it was an accident. She didn’t think she hit him that hard. My client loves that man your honour. People like her don’t love. As she said, they were dating. But they still want to possess. So let’s go back. 12:37. Pure hate. That was her 5th call to John after 12:31. She rang and rang. Victim blaming is Karen with the 12:37 i effin hate you. . She failed and it’s his fault. 12:42 you can hear her psychopath footsteps. 12:46 where are you ? Nobody knows where you are ? Karen you just dropped him off 14 mins ago? There’s a blizzard ? Where else would he go. ? Nobody knows where you are ? More like please pick up That phone because my nightmare is a growing. Rings daddy all night as every 40 year old does. Calls 53 times. Panicking. 4;40 speaks to her father. 4;45 wakes Kaylee and says something really bad has happened then storms off ranting. Comes back I think John could have been hit by a plough. Calls Jen McCabe with Kaylee’s phone. Mentioned her tail light busted and this is another key. So she knows it’s busted. Ksykee bscks up Jen McCabes story. Says she had a big fight with John and she left him at the water fall. Then calls many people. Has a different story for each person. Kaylee said she’s never seen Karen like this before. Rings Jen McCabe again. This time she says broken tailight and left him at the water fall but Jen’s husband says what is she talking about? They were out front of your sisters ? Jen remembers and says Karen we saw you at my sisters place out front ? What are you talking about? Karen replies I can’t remember I was too drink I don’t remember going there. Umm ok Karen. Gets in her car and as we know the tail light busted as been mentioned twice by Karen. She pulls out then love taps johns car bumper to bumper if anyone knows cars. And then takes off. Right there. I’ve zoomed in. And it’s a gaping hole. Clear as day. So the conspiracy is shot. It’s a fairly story. The whole works. Calls Kerry at 5am that’s before she’s headed out. He’s dead Kerry. Click. Calls 5;01. Kerry it’s a plough that got him. Or might have done it ? lol. I could go on with har X-ray vision eyes seeing a body in that darkness under snow in a car in a blizzard. I’ve actually hardly ever seen a person as guilty. It’s very logical. She’s a Nutter. She’s a killer. What’s worse is she’s blamed people that were only trying to help her that night. Imagine helping someone or thinking you are and having your world and your family’s world thrown upside down. All because a woman didn’t take responsibility and thought and planned cunningly before grabbing witnesses and acting confused etc. Then days later. We are all in on the same joke right? That’s when actor story teller Jackson came on board. For 300 grand he will say and do anything. All in on the joke right? What joke Karen ? The Alberts killed John. The bashed him then pulverised my tail light haha. Ok where ? At the scene after your reverse ? Did they hold you down ? Or did they break into johns garage at 3am and take a bag to carry tail light pieces in. Lol. It’s baffling that many believe inn her innocence. Humans are strange. Blaming innocent people is not on. No searches were done at 2:27 of how long to die. We all know that. Even a silly turtle would. It was done when Karen demanded it. 10 mins later she’s in an ambulance saying she’s gunna jill herself. Or daddy did. They saved her from early questioning. Then she says I’m fine and walks out of hospital a few hours later. Guilty. 100%. It ain’t even close.
