Judge is inadequate.

[@KenMarcotte]

These canton guys are wildly incompetent

[@videos-li5ys]

The jury would benefit from this info. The jury cannot make the right decision without complete information. The judge is forcing jury to miss relevant details. She has been consistent in this pattern. Not in anyone's best interest. Too much focus on "getting it done quick." She has been in the job for too long. I wish she were as committed to truth as she is to speed.

[@PostalWorker14]

Judges can exclude evidence and usually give reason

[@criticaldarling1982]

With all trials, decisions are made on what is and isn’t allowed in testimony. Some things are obvious, other decisions are bizarre. They have to be careful what they allow within those parameters. If something “could” be viewed as violating those terms it could open the door for a mistrial.

[@16MedicRN]

How can an acquittal be 'speculation'. Does that go for guilty as well? Geezus 😂 Judge is making a mockery of the system she represents.

[@vegetarianontheright]

As an avid First 48 watcher, I could've done a better investigation than this police dept. If they weren't used to this level crime, they should've called someone in that was.

Been watching the hearings and following closely. I will not make a judgment until everything's presented however, so far, almost every officer involved has retired or been promoted since 🤔

[@DarkAngel71180]

Yeah sometimes people retire or get promoted. That automatically makes them suspicious of conspiracy to commit murder.

[@16MedicRN]

Bad officers are often promoted within bad departments. In TX, one cop got put on the Brady list but before it was finalized they promoted him to Sgt. Go figure 🤔

3:01:03 No police officer checked the house where John was found, and none went into the basement. Albert's police friends (like Lank) avoided it because they subconsciously knew what they would find, knowing the Alberts' shady history. In Jungian terms, the basement is the unconscious mind --- a descent into the underworld --- a symbolic return to where the Albert's dark secrets began, lasted for decades and culminated in a (good) man's death. 😢

[@ThePatynight]

Albert and his son beat Jonh to death. Then, they took his body to the yard where Karen left to make looks like it was her Horrible people! They killed someone and want another innocent to pay.

So she goes on break everytime so the prosecution can assist the witness, after she gathers information on what they wlll ask. This case should have respectfully changed venue. These people are so damn corrupt it’s ridiculous! Brian was an officer have some integrity! The okeefefamily will never respect you all!

[@ThePatynight]

Josh body shows defensive mark in hands and marks of punch around his eye. Those marks are not caused by car The dog as well attacked Jonh when he was being beaten by Albert and his son

[@coopersvideos11]

I feel like the judge is making the narrative for the jury. Complete noob to this stuff but why is she asking what the defense will ask and telling them what she’ll allow. Wouldn’t be up to the prosecution to object the question and rule on it from there? Just seems very opinionated

[@bdotcombs]

Perhaps he was beaten and attacked by the dog in the house.. Then they kicked him out of the house and he stumbled down the driveway and collapsed in the street - beaten and drunk...Then everyone in the house plays dumbs as if they never saw him. Hmmm seems somewhat logical if you believe that theory.

[@druxpack8531]

anyone else think how weird it is that this courtroom is this size of a shoebox? The Prosecution sits in front of the defense, and the stenographer sits in front of them, then the judge?? And how the brother could basically reach over and touch the defendant??? so bizarre.

[@cherikoehler1770]

where in the reports does she say "I hit him"

[@MuffinstoMangos]

Also, who knows how drunk anyone is still hrs after..ALL were drunk. I'd like to know who all got toxicology and blood Alcohol testing that night. None. BUT Karen and O'Keefe during autopsy. They better call THE ALBERTS AND ANYONE IN THAT HOUSE OR THAT WAS OUT WITH THEM ALL THAT NIGHT.

[@smiller6760]

🤔Why did she go driving around looking for him instead of either calling to see if he stayed the night, or drove over to their house to see if he stayed the night, Wouldn't that have been the most logical and more common sense thing to do?

[@MuffinstoMangos]

@smiller6760 I'm sure she tried calling his phone....no answer...repeatedly...who says she went driving around? She went back to Albert's where she dropped him off. Collin did it.

[@prmpatti]

Yes, but when she’d dropped off John, Brian Nagle had driven up to pick up his sister Julie - he saw Karen still in the car, John gone and the rear right tail light intact. When she left the home later that morning to look for John, his Ring camera showed her tail light still intact.

[@veragreen9725]

It is one thing to get the truth and quite another to nitpick to try and manipulate the truth... I beg to differ when people say that these defence lawyers ate doing a good job… a good job certainly has a component of defending your client but not to such an extent that it tramples the actual facts and truth... the object is truth and justice... what I see these defence lawyers doing is working hard out at preventing and interrupting a full picture of the truth being allowed to emerge... looks good on the surface of it but in analysis it is manipulation of the truth aimed solely at getting their client off but at the expense of the truth...

[@veragreen9725]

What a circus... she did it... you don't need all this time and money to manipulate the facts to fit an outrageous theory that would be immensely difficulty to sustain... how do you get so many people involved in investigating this case to play around with evidence and get their recall of the facts to align perfectly to this conspiracy theory of the defence... you have an impartial picture drawn up by independent witnesses such as firefighter/paramedics who have no personal role or interest in this case and whose testimony should be central in reaching a conclusion... the defence theory is far fetched but enticing for an American public raised on the dramatic and exciting antics of Hollywood reality... This kind of thing would be inconceivable in countries like Britain or New Zealand for example...

[@donaldyoung9180]

If you look at the details, neither the theory of the defence or prosecution makes any sense. Each argument is full of holes and strange coincidences. But all of this can be resolved if we take Karen's words while being booked as the truth : "We're all in on the same joke, right?" My guess is, she had a fight with O'Keefe while getting out of the car. Maybe she attacked him. Some of the officers in the house came out to see what the situation was and, again as Karen has said, the officers ground O'Keefe's head into the tail light and the dog may have also have attacked him. This likely involved Higgins, who apparently had romantic inclinations toward Karen, and Brian Albert. In this scenario, all three are complicit. Karen, who would appear to be emotionally unstable (She seems to have loved and hated O'Keefe at the same time and clearly had an alcohol problem all suggestive of a personality disorder) may have gone along with the "joke" initially but then tried to make it seem she had no knowledge of it when she sobered up (somewhat) in the early morning and went "looking" for him. When you look at all the conflicting facts, this is the most parsimonious explanation. I expect her not to be convicted and the police not to ever be held accountable.

Red solo cups! Stop n shop bag! Not sealed. Conveniently sitting by her rt tail end of car in compound. Give me a break. No tail lights found at scene until AFTER her vehicle was impounded like 3 days later. If she had hit him that hard ase to completely crumble her tail light...O'Keefe would be smashed some where or crushed bones. Those tail lights are extremely hard to take out an hers was ALREADY cracked before she returned to Albert's. She had backed out of O'Keefe garage or driveway an hit her rt tail light in a video fr the home. Look MS. Look up symptoms of MS. It affects your brain to. Those "scratches" were not female nail scratches. Those were animal scratches. Deep. No human did that. An on only one arm? An animal will focus on one thing an not let go.
