LIVE: MA v. Karen Read Day 17 - Killer Or Cover-Up Murder Trial | COURT TV

LIVE COURT CAM: MA v. #KarenRead - DAY 17 - The Commonwealth's case continues in the murder trial of Karen Read. Read is accused of murdering her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, whose body was found in the snow outside of another Boston officer’s home in Canton, Massachusetts.
Prosecutors allege Read hit O’Keefe with her car and left him to die in the snow. But Read’s defense team says she never hurt O’Keefe and that she is being framed by the true killers, who may have been inside the house where his body was found.

There is a study that people watching a video completely failed to notice a person in a gorilla suit walking in the video, because they were focusing on something else.

I was shocked at the text messages. Obviously she and John were not getting along. She spoke to Higgins about owning a house so I think she should have parted ways with John. I feel sad that most likely she would have liked to have had her own children, but impossible due to her two diseases. . I really don't think she was responsible for his death. John's injuries were too severe to have been from a car. This was also pointed out in an FBI report. It was probably a drunken fight in the Albert house that went wrong. Also too much alcohol consumed by all of them. She should never have been accused. It's now just one big cover up of who did it.

If the genders were reversed, people would be saying “oh he just had a weak moment being in a relationship where he feels unappreciated and unloved.. It’s not that deep. None of this means he killed her.” But when a woman does it, it’s the end of the world and she’s a horrible person, full stop. I hear a woman who loves John, but feels frustrated with their relationship and taking care of his kids, which she didn’t want in the first place. And she just wants to feel wanted. Is it right? No, but like Higgins said, it is what it is.

If I were a juror I would be getting more than tired of my time wasted with repeated corrections from the judge on the defense. I think it's the only defense they could come up with is to attack the police like do many do and get by with it.

Could it be possible that Karen dropped him off and drove away without hitting him. Could John drunkenly slipped and hit his head and ended up outside the in snowbank. Then as one or more people drunkenly got in their cars and drove away, what if one of them accidentally ran him over. Just tossing out alternate theories.

Kids (if she was fighting w/John & leaving him there, whether that was her choice or his, she would once again be left “alone” at the house with his kids…) which she clearly despised per her callous texts. She was obviously extremely pissed at John for NYE a few weeks before all this, and clearly seems to have been trying to hurt him (cheat on him with his friend.)
