If you are going to watch the trial, follow closely to see if that is still a significant factor in the end.
It has always seemed to me it is as well. and the recent read of her not even recalling being there (which I am not sure I buy) would add to that. They were out drinking all night, are you saying she wasn't intoxicated? I'm not arguing but asking if there is evidence she tea totaled? Or was a DD and not served?
Well, now that I think about it, I think anytime alcohol is involved, it's a significant factor.
In an interview, she said she'd had about 4 drinks but if she's also said she didn't even recall being there, then obviously, that's a blackout, which seems to me is unlikely to occur after only 4 drinks.

So it was ruled it couldn't be said in openings that someone else killed John but defense did it anyhow? Or did that mean only if named? And not a "someone". Then the snip so wondering? Where it says judge ruled, it says couldn't be argued that someone else did and they said exactly that...Karen Read murder trial: Lead investigator 'searched phone for nude photos', defense says
Karen Read was accused of killing her boyfriend - Boston police officer John O'Keefe - but she denied accusations and claimed she was framed in an elaborate cover-up

Karen Read's lawyer dropped bombshell accusations during opening statements in Read's murder trial, including an investigator's search for nude photos of her and "revealing texts" to friends on his personal phone.
Read allegedly killed her boyfriend - Boston police officer John O'Keefe - when she backed over him with her car after an alcohol-fueled fight during a snowy night on Jan 29, 2022, outside a home in Canton, Massachusetts, according to prosecutors.
Not only has Read pleaded not guilty to murder, among other charges, her legal team argued Read was framed by an influential family who lived in the Canton, Massachusetts, home, as part of a top-to-bottom cover-up.
The lead investigator, Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor, a friend of the homeowner, allegedly "searched (Read's) phone (for) nude photos" without a warrant and texted his friend on his personal phone that he "hoped (Read) would kill herself," Read's lawyer, David Yannetti said Monday morning.
Leading up to the trial, Proctor and the Massachussetts State Police have denied any wrongdoing.
The Massachusetts State Police didn't immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment about the accusations levied in court Monday morning.
Read's lawyers argued O'Keefe was attacked by a dog during a fight with someone in the house.
"Karen Read was framed," Yannetti said during opening statements. "Someone not named Karen Read ambushed John. Somebody probably didn't mean to kill him, but somebody went too far."
The judge ruled last week that Read's defense team will be allowed to argue someone else killed O'Keefe, but not during opening statements.

O'Keefe suffered multiple wounds, including skull fractures consistent with blunt-force trauma that led to bleeding in the brain, swollen black eyes and several lacerations and abrasions to his right arm and hands.
But the autopsy has been under lock and key, which is why forensic expert Joseph Scott Morgan told Fox News Digital that the autopsy and the forensic investigator's testimony will be pivotal in the trial.
Yeah, the trial's broadcasted live and I've heard most- not all from either side- of the opening statements but I don't remember anything about the ruling you're referring to.
THe Judge ruled 3rd party culpability could not be introduced during opening statements which is was not.
The ruling was mentioned here in some post above. If I recall in the very post it said it was not to be mentioned in opening statements, it then goes onto say this was said in opening statement.
I'm so sorry! I think you were referencing info from an article that I hadn't read. Again, so sorry.
Nothing to be sorry about. I myself don't and can't read every link in all cases these days. It seemed you might have missed it. Could be me as easily. Just was trying to figure out what was meant, etc. All is fine.
Will she take the stand do you think? I somehow doubt it not that she is required to of course.
I am asking you to tell me of body cams if any and recorded videos of interviews if any, etc. Are there any? I am asking you to take a middle of the road unbiased stance and tell me, if even known if such exists? From what I've always understood initially she took full responsibility UNTIL finding they were going to charge her in a serious way and more. I was just watching something on Morphew a case I know from back to front and over again and was reminded of some things that have been scrubbed or disappeared that we saw in the beginning... It was a reminder and eye opening of how the story and narrative can change and even WE who think we know it so well can forget...
