I don't know for me if I have it in me to watch another trial after Daybell. She and her defense sicken me on top of it but I guess so did Lori so we will see. I watched a fair amount of testimony in the last one but I had to go back to do it instead of live.Opening statements are at 9 a..m. ( in approx 2 hours time)

Karen Read trial live updates: Key witness testifies about frantic search for John O’Keefe
The prosecution and defense laid out competing theories of John O'Keefe's death during opening statements Tuesday in Karen Read's second trial. Testimony resumes Wednesday.www.masslive.com
We are on the same page on this one I think. That's a ridiculous story that came well after the fact, with too much in it having to be come up with to explain it. Totally ludicrous. Some like to believe it though. Beats me how they can but whatever...Two diverging theories - that's a laugh to begin with. The defence theory that the partygoers beat up a fellow officer and chucked him outside to die of hypothermia over a period of 6 hours while nobody noticed.
I'm listening to it.Trial link.
I muted Jackson after a bit. It's jmo and no one has to share it but I find KR and her defense team as disgusting as Lori Daybell and that is saying a lot. Again jmo. I don't' even know what your opinion is so lol it isn't an opinion directed at anyone.Just going by the opening statements especially if it was someone who knew nothing about this case... at minimum one would think what a corrupt group of drunken cops ...... geez
It's just gonna be a circus!!I muted Jackson after a bit. It's jmo and no one has to share it but I find KR and her defense team as disgusting as Lori Daybell and that is saying a lot. Again jmo. I don't' even know what your opinion is so lol it isn't an opinion directed at anyone.
I have the audio on now but not sure how long I will listen.
Way back probably before you were on, I personally think both sides needed to just move some. And more.
It's gone way too far and is ridiculous.
I generally don't agree with plea deals in a lot of things but in this case, she is guilty imo but they wanted to prove intentional homicide which I actually think it was in a drunken rage, but their chance of proving that degree is hard. She wouldn't take her lumps and they wouldn't lighten charges a bit.
I am listening but I can take or leave this case at times.
Again it's' just my opinion and not any argument with anyone.
Hate to say it but cops are like that everywhere IME. My hub was a cop in the 70's/80's. Hard living, hard drinking, never a dull moment .......Just going by the opening statements especially if it was someone who knew nothing about this case... at minimum one would think what a corrupt group of drunken cops ...... geez
Yep with the victim and family lost in all of it.It's just gonna be a circus!!
I did hear that part lol. Witness holding his own I felt overall. Jackson is trying to push stuff. As a juror I would recognize that.The D is attacking the ambulance witness and saying last time he testified he said KR said "I did it, I did it," but this time he is querying that this time he said she said "I did it, i did it, i did it". LOL the witness is now adamant she said it three times. They showed the video from the cop car by the look of it. His body was right near the kerb and flagpole. You can see KR flapping and running back and forth.
If i was on the jury that would pee me off right there attacking a paramedic on the stand.
I'd say that's fairly true. Most of us know where our local cops drank. They did have to think a bit before going to a regular place of most people and drinking hard but there were a few places that kind of catered to them and covered in or neck of the woods. It is VERY typical.Hate to say it but cops are like that everywhere IME. My hub was a cop in the 70's/80's. Hard living, hard drinking, never a dull moment .......
O'Keefe was not drinking and driving but Karen was.I'd say that's fairly true. Most of us know where our local cops drank.

It is VERY typical.
The thing that bothers me in this is KR was doing such too as was Okeefe. The entire group was drinking AND driving and so on. That's where the problem comes in when it is one of their own and something happens.
I've said it before and will again, even how Proctor was does not MAKE Karen Read innocent. I think there is a much more easily explainable thing to it all that makes the most sense.
These days though? LE really needs to learn how to keep their noses clean because guilty people are using their screw ups to turn cases around or try to. If one wants to go into power or LE they probably better not drink ever and live a very dull protected life.
I know of things where they covered for their own LE buddy and so forth in my own area. I think that is how that started here, they were ALL drinking, most anyhow...
NONE of that makes her innocent to me though. Every case they ever have can try to blame it on that, or on Proctor, and that is what is happening. It does not mean the accused perp didn't do the crime. I can't believe how many fall for that.
Because it is???Just going by the opening statements especially if it was someone who knew nothing about this case... at minimum one would think what a corrupt group of drunken cops ...... geez
