After a long day and night, this guy, Higgins, goes into the police station on his day off and claims that he didn’t talk to anyone about the case. Are you kidding me?!!! That was his sole purpose for being there. What else was he there for? He wasn’t working. He had a very long day and a night of many drinks. This case is baffling. I originally thought Karen to be guilty. But lie after lie on the witness stand by almost every witness has changed my mind. Higgins is clearly lying here. And if it turns out the surveillance tape of the sally port has indeed gone missing, I will then have reasonable doubt.

Weird missing surveillance in Sally port when Higgins there. Suspicious. Reasonable doubt. I hope the jury listening very carefully. Reasonable doubt

[@prisonersdilemma939]

If the sally port video is indeed missing, she will not be convicted. It’s hard to believe they can’t produce the video! After listening to Higgins, I don’t see how anyone wouldn’t have reasonable doubt.

Her father used to work in the DAs office, Morrissey's. Not that that means anything. But, Morrisseys former campaign mangers were a family and a trooper. A trooper who worked in his office.

@ 07:00 as far as i remember when Read drove off from John’s house at 5:08 am (near that time) her tail light was clearly illuminating and was clearly red as she pushed the breakes before turning left to look for John. And at 8:23 in the same morning when the police officers came to do the welfare check, the biggest chunk of red plastic was already absolutely missing - so it happened before Read’s Lexus was taken to custody.

O’Keefe family heard the true colors of Karen flirting and not liking helping with kids that were not hers

[@tigerlily9536]

Speaks volumes! She continually states she is NOT "married" yet "knows best" with rearing children who are NOT HERS. She was also very quick to decide that she would NOT be looking after the children that were NOT HERS when it was yet to be confirmed that John was deceased. She didn't even stay around for longer than 30 minutes after the children were told.

[@Anna-cx4tg]

She never spoke to them again, cut off contact immediately after his death so they already knew. John's mother still has contact with Jen McCabe and John's brother's messages to a blogger published online make it clear he believes Karen is guilty.

I don't think it gives motive. You don't have to kill someone to end a relationship. I'm stumped on this one. I'm not sure there was a cover up but I don't think she killed him. At least not intentionally. She wouldn't have had the speed or momentum to cause such an impact. If perhaps she did somehow do it I believe it was an accident with no intent to harm. Well probably never know 🤷‍♀️
