Can we talk about the paramedic swearing he heard Karen screaming, "My boyfriend!" etc. when he pulled up, yet he later claims that despite that, he asked Karen, "Do you know this guy?" , to which she responded, "I hit him I hit him"? Make it make sense. Then we have "I re- homed the dog". Not "I took it to the shelter", yet dude claims he has no idea where or with whom he re-homed his dog? How convenient when the dog is alleged to have clawed the crap out of the victims arm. Did homeboy just roll up on a strange neighborhood and say "Hey you want this dog?" to a perfect stranger in an area so far away from home that he couldn't possibly find it again? The only one saying anything that seems remotely plausible is the defense.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the emt who asked her "Do you know this person?" was the same guy who said she was screaming about her boyfriend. Who is claiming a dog clawed the crap out of the victims arm? The defense? The one emt that testified already just said he saw scratches. It's been to the defense's benefit to put their case out in the public eye, but we haven't actually seen the prosecution present their case. We'll only see how they address some of these claims as the case goes.

This is ridiculous. Bottomline: She was drinking she could have hit him. The dog was removed, and an insufficient investigation by Law enforcement screams cover up. That's it.

[@MarietaTruter]

@gracie. Agree with you!!

[@JAJJABLOG]

BOTTOM LINE: 💯 ‼️

[@tigerlily102511]

There is no evidence that she hit him. Karen stating she may have hit him while under the influence is hardly a confession. The broken taillight was from her hitting the other vehicle and somehow John's DNA ended up on it in a completely different area. These cops set up the entire scene. They know exactly how to plant evidence to make the scene look genuine. Also, there was no search of the house. Why???? Because the Alberts were friends with investigating officer. Then the Alberts remodeled the basement so there would be no evidence of a crime, the samples they took from John's wounds were "misplaced" so they were never tested for canine DNA, the Alberts got rid of their dog, then they sold their house for under market value. These things are not coincidence.

[@gracie1598]

@tigerlily102511 I currently reside in a town where the prosecutor literally dismissed the charges on a 22 yr old woman who took drugs into the women's bathroom of the jailhouse lobby placing the drugs under the trash 🗑 can liner. The jailhouse where there are cameras everywhere officers walking 🚶‍♀️ around in uniform and individuals are incarcerated. Dismissed Dismissed the public record reflects. I believe the only reason they arrested her in the first place is they did not have any other recourse because of the location of the crime and the cameras. I've witnessed corruption firsthand. Two items you listed in your summary I've not heard: the DNA samples disappearing and the remodel. I knew they sold the house. My point is if she was that intoxicated, she could have hit him. Even to ask the question hypothetically is not good. Intoxication, visibility impairment, and weather conditions are not in her favor. However, conveniently and immediately relocating the dog who could be tested screamed cover up. The FBI should have made them produce that dog . I made the comment I did because the media for financial grandisement speculates beyond reason. The Bottomline: is no one will know the complete truth it is now a battle between the lawyers' skill and the integrity of the jury.

[@gracie1598]

@tigerlily102511 One more thing I've been bit by a dog my own actually accidentally ( breaking up and altercation with another dog). I thought the photograph reflected a dog bite. 🐕 bites leave two inline indentations and one in the middle to the side because of the canine incisors. It is a 3 prong pattern. I'm looking forward to the testimony in reference to the physical photographs. I also felt from the beginning testimonials as ridiculous as it might sound; some of the individuals involved might just be jealous of this Karen Read. Her masters in finance and earning potential far exceeds Law enforcement salary in that region. It was slick how the brothers' testimony referenced good content while covertly injecting character flaws concerning Karen. The brother looked as shady as a circulated 2 dollar bill in the eyes 👀 and on his countenance once he returned to his seat in the courtroom. Last thought: Read would not stand a chance if she could not afford the prominent Lawyer she ascertained, and the proceedings are on camera.

The passenger side of the car was towards the house he was going to. There was no way for him to be in the street. If he dropped the glass and it rolled to the curb, then Karen would be going in the wrong direction to throw him the direction he was found. He would have been closer to the driveway and down at the road. 220# 6’2” men don’t fly. And remember she had to drive over him to get the Lexus to bite his arm-so no way he is 12’ in the yard.

Secondly, the PR team is the team that Karen hired a.k.a. turtle boy so yes, there is a PR team it was discovered through the documents and no there is no conspiracy theory.

Glad to see I'm not the only seeing his hypocrisy. that kevin clown has me flipping since last night. And the defense against cover up being "cops don't ever agree, it's hard to get more than couple cops agree on anything". Have we not seen time and time again of them agreeing in criminal activity. Especially disagreement against the brotherhood or blue life code. They act like because officers don't agree on vacations, shopping stores, or personal lifestyles, that they dont agree that all they need is another cop filing report to agree on credibility. No officer disagreed in george Floyd case and they were found guilty. And they agree they should not be recorded without restrictions. They agree they should not be reviewed by third parties or by boards out of police office. They agree not speak out against brotherhood.

NOPE it is not!

[@annm9589]

The sighs will not be added to the record, unfortunately. If defense argues can prejudice the jury, it risks annoying the judge more. They already asked her to recuse herself due to associations and she said no. So far her rulings seem fair. Her digging would be an appeal able defense, but how to get it on the court record is a problem.

She guilty the video of her hitting the other car was after she struck the cop then went home then when she went back out to look for him she bumped his car but it was already broken for the hit doesn’t take a genius to understand that also he was found close by the street makes sense to me also if she broke her tail light at the home why is there no glass at the home with the camera on the home to be seen ??? Makes absolutely no sense for her to say the cops framed her for what who is she ?? And why would many cops put there job families and lives in jeopardy to frame her again who is she to them and why would ever one be after her for what ??? I do believe everyone was drunk driving that night even her that’s a big problem for everyone also if she say he went in the home got killed then they put him outside to frame her again who is she then why did he still have the glass from when he arrived on him makes absolutely no sense

I’m calling it…This will be another murder case where a dog is the pivotal point. Just like the recording of Murdaugh at the kennels, the scratches/teeth marks will prove John was in fact inside the Albert home, where a beat down took place in the basement and Chloe the German Shepherd attacked him during the beating, either on her own or was encouraged to do so. That animated scenario is ridiculous if you’ve heard the evidence so far. EMT Nuttall testified John had a ‘goose egg’ on his right forehead and the scratches on his right arm. BTW, who leaves a bar, or any establishment serving alcohol, with a drink in their hand as John did?🤔

@@lunablue499 There’s no factual evidence since no one has admitted John was in the house. Only speculation or theories. One is that John was working on exposing local drug trafficking that involved relatives of some of the cops in the house.

If she went to the road 65 feet he would not have likely just stood there! He would have been walking towards the house as it was cold and he was found face up. Therefore, in order for his body to make any sense he would have been facing toward the road or down toward her direction. He would have saw her coming toward him and would have had time to get out of the way especially if she was reversing that fast and crazy. This makes zero sense!
