The night before, he had gone to a bar with his girlfriend, Karen Read, as well as some friends and acquaintances, including Brian. Not long after, Karen was charged with John's murder, but her defense alleges that she is being framed by the group of people who met up at Brian's home after the bar closed. Trial begins Tuesday, April 16, 2024 with jury selection.

    I think the most normal answer would be something along the lines of "Of course, I have spoken more than usual on the phone with my friend. A fellow cop was found on my front lawn! I tried to make sence how it happened. Yeah, we probably spoke about Karen during at least some of those conversations - it was talk of the town."

      I agree. Generally, if someone isn't trying to cover-up anything, they can easily explain what happens. I'm not alluding to a police cover-up because I don't know all the evidence yet, but something feels so weird with this whole case.

    This is all extremely sketchy. The Alberts weren't woken up by phone calls, sirens, police, a barking dog, Karen yelling.. like 30 feet from their bedroom? And Brian Albert didn't even go outside to see what was happening? He is a first responder himself and he just decided not to go help or anything? And why is he calling Brian Higgins multiple times throughout the night? And why did Higgins show up at the police station at 1:45AM when he wasn't on a shift? And why did Higgins destroy his phone the next day? All extremely suspicious

    I have a dog, he doesn’t bark much but if you come to the compound or near my house he will bark his head off. The Albert’s German Shepherd didn’t like strangers. MULTIPLE people came and left that house and drove around that area and not a single one saw a d**d man on the street/snow? They found small bits or a tail light and a clear glass but they couldn’t find Officer John O’Keffe’s shoe, baseball cap and belt ? This case has taught me a whole neighborhood can turn off their ring door cameras and human memory is unreliable or they are all lying when they open their mouths.

    Taking some interest in body language, there is a split second of Nicole's testimony where she is confirming her "cleaning", where she clearly shows contempt on her face. It's the only non-symmetrical emotional expression. My theory is her part of the alleged conspiracy, is that her job was to clean up the dirty basement. The striking thing about Julie's recollection of the time Chris came home, is even though it was proved inaccurate, her stated memory was EXACTLY the same time as Chris's. It sure looks like a pre-arranged story.

    Thank you for the recaps. Honestly if I were a juror and I was in a different case just 3 weeks ago so a little eaiser to put myself in that frame of mind, I would have too much doubt to convict. Here are just a few of my thoughts. One the investigation was handled so bad that the evidence is all suspect. So many of the witnesses seem to be hiding something. The prosecution so far is contending that it was murder and she was drunk and the witnesses testimony seem to make it seem like she didn't appear to be drunk and that Karen and John were not fighting that night and the only fighting I have hard was she spent too much money on the kids in his care which is hardly anything to kill someone over. The whole glass thing is weird but I have not seen any evidence it had alcohol in it or that it was refilled. So it makes me wonder are the Alberts covering for one of the kids or did they think one of the kids did something and covered it up. The other thing that bothers me is the fact the prosecution is pushing murder, accident I could believe. However with that said if they offered a lesser charge I wouldn't agree with that either at this point.

    I think it is totally fair to hammer her on this. Even on the day itself she was acting dodgy around the frequency. She said VERY rarely even not just rarely but VERY rarely. Now I don't know about you folks but when I get asked is it either a) very rarely or b) 67 times in 7 months (aprox. once per 3 days), I would have a solid idea which one is closer to the actual number since the gap is quite large. Once every 3 days on average that's in the park of a close friend or a coworker that screws up a lot. I would've probably taken that evasiveness though and asked her to, alright you can't recall? Put a hard statement on it now then. How frequent, at THIS point in time would you say you called her? Now either in face of the jury she's going to have to amend her lie from yesterday and admit to the 67, or she's gonna have to suddenly recall why she said very rarely last time and do it again so you can continue impeaching her. That's a win-win. When it comes to the 12:10 vs 12:14 I don't know where he was trying to go with that I wasn't a fan of that. It's been 2 years man nobody that hasn't studied the tape for hours looking for clues remembers all these events to the second. I'll give him an hour off but 4 minutes... what are we talking about?
    All in all the most plausible story I've got in my head currently, I do think this is a cover-up. However, I do not think this is a cover-up of any wrongdoing on the Albert family's part. I think this was the police dpt. being out of their depth on an unsual crime scene, they absolutely bodged the job, and then when they figured they were never going to get somebody convicted for a potential murder on a cop they started grasping at straws to convict just anybody they could think of to not look bad. I could still swing either way based on the expert testimony, but this is what I'm currently considering most plausible.

      Brian Alberts beat this man and the dog attacked him too. Then they left him to die outside hoping to blame it on the morning snow plow that would come after the blizzard. That's what Alberts beat friend has said but recanted because he refused to testify. The plow didn't work because he saw the man on the ground & called police who never showed up to the scene. But all they have to prove here is reasonable doubt about Karen so that's what the defense is sticking to. What happened here is diabolical and I pray that the truth comes out fully and all those involved in the death and cover up go down for this. It wasn't just a botched job. They lied, they planted evidence after the fact. They tried to coordinate their efforts to keep their story strait but there's cracks EVERYWHERE! BIGGEST COVER UP IVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!

      " I would've probably taken that evasiveness though and asked her to, alright you can't recall? Put a hard statement on it now then. How frequent, at THIS point in time would you say you called her?" --- Not that I'm agreeing or disagreeing with you on the feeling behind wanting those answers, but the defense literally cant ask her open ended questions like that. Open-ended questions that allow for explanation are only allowed on direct examination of your own witness. Cross examination is limited to basically yes/no answers. That's why the defense (which is cross examining the prosecution's witnesses) say things like "Would you agree with me that [blah blah blah]" Now if the defense had called her as a witness, they could ask her open-ended questions, but the prosecution could not (because at that point she wouldnt be the prosecution's witness).
      Fun fact: Did you ever see on TV a lawyer say "permission to treat as a hostile witness"? That's when you get to ask yes/no questions of your own witness, usually when they're being evasive. Then the side that called the witness is allowed to basically box their own witness into yes/no/I dont know format. If you want open-ended explanations, you have to call the person as your own witness.

    It is very frustrating that the case is being presented so bit-by-bit, with a lot of focus on “irrelevant” things imo. I get it of course if she actually “did it”, that they would want to focus on the reasonable doubt of it all but still.
    My questions are however:
    Was she drunk? Did they walk home together? At what point did she realize that he wasn’t home yet and go out looking for him? Why did she take the car to 34 unless she knew he had gone there the night before? Or was that just one of the places she went to while driving around looking? How far away is their house to the Alberts’ on 34 and from which direction would she reasonably have come onto that street from if that would matter if she actually did hit him and also how did he die? Did he slip and hit his head on the hydrant? Where was the glass he was holding shattered then? Was that ever made clear? They showed it to the jury, but was it ever said where it was found? There are so many freaking missing pieces in this case so far it is driving me insane!

    • @LegalBytesMedia
      @LegalBytesMedia  Před 9 dny +1

      Looking at this as a lawyer, I actually really disagree on the one bite thing. A single bite can be enough for a lawsuit, and where there's a second bite, that's an even higher liability risk, since the owners have actual knowledge that the dog can harm other people/animals. While I hate the idea of rehoming dogs out of inconvenience, and I do agree that the timing here is iffy, I don't see it as strange at all if a family decides to rehome after a single bite. That's especially true if there's an indication that there's a problem for the dog in the home environment that isn't something that the family can address, or that can be resolved by finding a better environment for the dog. I'm not sure if that last bit describes this situation, because we don't have that level of detail, but I'm highlighting it to make a point that it's not always the case that the original home is in fact the best place for the dog.

He may have been a very good cop, but this case makes me suspect he made a bad choice on JAN 29, this family deserves TRUTH, and a woman's very life depends on TRUTH, if I were on the jury I would not be able to say she is guilty.

It is WAY to Serious to have to worry about some wacko on the internet trying to get more clicks by injecting themselves into the middle of the case and the proceedings.

    Concerning Turttleboy by just looking at his post on CZcams in his community page he comes off very antagonistic. For example he in his community tab commented on one of the people sitting in the gallery behind Peggy O’Keefe was a woman by the name of Marybeth Frisoli. He then goes into a prior conviction of this person from the early 2010’s for no reason than what I would assumed to be “why does she get to be in the court room and not me.”
    Now while it is his right to have those views and to express those views. I could understand why the Commonwealth does not want Turtleboy in the courtroom while these specific wittinesses are on the stand. It’s no secret that the Albert witnesses as well as the witnesses who were at that house the night of John O’Keefe’s are under a lot of scrutiny by those who believe strongly in Karen Read’s innocence and it’s no secret that Turtleboy is an avid Karen Read Supporter.
