This is so obvious to me this is a big time cover up by the police. Not saying they are all in on it, but come on... These cops saying they had no reason or probable cause to go into the house??! Give me a break! If any of us lay people were in this situation, the cops would have demanded and got a search warrant for the whole frickin house, and would have demanded to interview everyone there on record. This is ludacris. And these cops look ridiculous in their testimony of this.

[@Shazvana]

We all know that if any of us "non-cop" folk had a beat up, near death, man on our front lawn, our homes would be locked down with in minutes and all our butts would be standing out in that cold snow because the PC is having the victim on our front lawn!!!!! These corrupt cops want us all to believe the BS they are saying about why they did not lock this home down. We all know why it was not locked down!!! This case makes my blood boil.

[@DMiller912]

I don't know if she's guilty or not, but seeing the way law enforcement handled this case so poorly...there's a ton of readable doubt. Everyone in the house, where a man lay on the lawn, should have been questioned, separately.

[@DMiller912]

Also, I agree with you Lauren.

[@sandtats]

Just because an injured or even a dead body is found on your property, just 8 ft from the road no less, doesn't give probable cause to obtain a warrant to search the home of the property owner; no reason to seize their personal property; search their phones. At the time it wasn't even determined what the cause or manner of death was. Zero evidence anyone in the home had anything to do with injuring him at the point. LE questioned the ppl in the home, all of whom said John never came into the house that night.

[@DMiller912]

There is probable cause when the body in question was said by the home owner, was supposed to be coming to that house to party. It wasn't just a random person laying outside. John Okeffe was purposely coming to the Albert's house.

[@marystratford5375]

I cannot believe the judge told the lawyers don’t waste the jurors time with all of your questioning, a persons life is in the hands of this jury - ask away! Unbelievable

I agree. I also feel this comment was directed towards the defense team more so. They are legally bound to do & ask whatever is needed to save Karen from this corrupt mess. There is not a day as yet, where this judge hasn't done something that doesn't pass the sniff test. I see a judge who is bias but thinks no one is noticing and this has been happening in every court session for this case. Even her swiveling on her chair during testimony tells me she's not interested in the truth of what happened, let alone the sighs.

Even when it doesn’t - trials happen all the time - even when there are confessions. You still need to support even bringing the charges. Those supports are comprised of evidentiary proofs properly gathered at the crime scene and accumulated during the investigation.

[@amanda-et6pv]

I think the most peculiar parts of evidence so far is the broken cocktail glass next to him and the missing shoe, because they don't seem to make sense with either side of the story. If he was hit by Karen, it doesn't explain how his shoe got so far away from him. And if he was beat in the basement, it doesn't make sense how the shoe and the cocktail glass got outside. I lean towards believing the defense but part of me thinks we will never know the real story.

[@michaelcalland801]

If John walked into the house with the glass & got into a fight they would’ve thrown the glass outside next to his body. If they moved the body from the house to the corner it could’ve come off then & they just disposed of it.
