The night before, he had gone to a bar with his girlfriend, Karen Read, as well as some friends and acquaintances, including Brian.

#KarenRead #JusticeforJohnOKeefe #FreeKarenRead
This judge has an incredible talent for killing any momentum the defense manages to generate. As soon as the going gets tough for the witness, the judge steps in and saves them.
So, a reporter in the gallery has a chilling effect on witnesses, but the ex boxer, ex marine, cop owner of the house where a dead man is found, doesn’t have a chilling effect during a police investigation?
Mr. Alberts being simultaneously on his phone and in an intimate encounter with his wife has to be the most bizarre thing in this trial so far and that's really saying something here.
I don't know how I stumbled onto your CZcams channel but I'm so glad I did. Love your coverage on this case! I'm obsessed and fully believe Karen is being framed by a corrupt police force. Thank you for informative coverage with explanation! These hearings tend to be both confusing at times and cumbersome... It's wonderful to be able to watch along with someone in their wheelhouse. Thank you!
John’s family must find all of this suspicious. Their alarm bells must be going off now after hearing everything!
Yes so many red flags!
I don't believe the prosecution has proven anything to implicate Karen Read in John's death.
Yes. This case should be dismissed immediately.
I'm wondering why the defense didn't ask Brian Albert about replacing a floor or floors in the house prior to selling it????
They are in a public bar. The real rough housing done at you or your friends house is different than what drunk guys do in a restaurant/bar.
Especially when a hobby is sparring.
I’m surprised how some people are under playing that MMA is fun for some people, especially for ex military, Federal ATF Agents, State troopers, and fugitive units.
Happened to get rid of the dog, Happened to get rid of the house, Happened to get rid of the phone 🤔
Happened to leave the police force.
What I find strange is that both Albert's never went into detail about their beloved dog,they seemed to want to skirt over getting rid of her.
Neither one explained how heartbroken the family were to get rid of their beloved family pet of 6 years.
Wouldn't you want the jury to know it was a hard and very heartbreaking discussion..
She attacked a dog and woman she's out the door gone and forgotten..
I'm wondering if they saw people out walking their dog and let Chloe outside deliberately, because they know Chloe is aggressive (like the rest of the Albert family) and now they have a valid reason to get rid of Chloe.
@@lindafinch1520 I don't think they would do that.but once a dog has tasted blood and has attacked once it will repeat...so if it attacked John..it's no surprise it would attack dog.Its sound they didn't socialize the dog to outside the family...
I wonder if they keep referring to her as a mix because german shepards are one of the dogs that insurances don’t like you to own.
The same ex of mine that would steal pint glasses from bars wanted a german shepard. My home insurance would have gone through the roof like I had a house on the cape if I had one.
Maybe this dog was meant to be a bit of a guard dog rather than companion, rescue or not.
Not only that, they refer to Chloe as 'it'. Who does that with their family pet?
What I want to know is, how was John supposed to get back home? It was past midnight, alcohol, snowstorm, gets dropped off by Karen and well, we know what happened.
The snide bars made my day 👏
So, the stipulation agreed regarding the phone means the prosecution agree that their own witness is lying? 😂
Thank you
Oh the darting of the eyes!!!!!!!!!😂
You know I had a thought towards 3:43:20 Isn't it protocol for police and the like to make sure the crime scene stays as undisturbed as possible? Like, knocking on the relevant door and saying do not call anybody right now! Don't tell anyone to come over, we don't want anybody making up a story or hiding evidence or destroying evidence accidentally, no you can't leave donuts in the kids car! Go away; this is a crime scene lady!
Like hello!? All of these conversations between so many relevant people, it is insane! There is no way they didn’t make up a damn story!
I am so with you Alyte. The timing regarding the phone is just a little more than suspicious. He totally got tipped off. I'm sorry there is just something off with this case. And I dont think the prosecution is doing that great of a job at this point of proving her guilt. PS thank you to other subscribers for reminding me to like the video. I get involved and forget sometimes.
I have a lot of experience with dogs and although, like with people, u never how an individual might respond, IF the dog has the behavioral issues they have already described, she absolutely should be the kind of dog who is highly reactive to stimulus like they're describing.
The dog is also not reserved so although it may or may not have tried to alert them, it likely would have had disruptive behavior as a result of distress and anxiety caused by the animal's desire to know what's happening and react. This behavior should have alerted them. They have not been describing a blasé dog or one with self control and the kinds of noises that were occurring should have been alarming and possibly distressing for most animals, in my experience.
I sense that the defense, along with the prosecution, have done an incredible job of distraction, introducing so many elements that it would be easy to overlook the base situation of people drinking and someone dying outside a house on a stormy winter night. All the complications here have been introduced/ embedded in the sensational tour we get to have a good distance from the central question of Karen Reads responsibility at the time that John Okeefe became unaccounted for.
I agree. So far Karen hasn't even been talked about. So good on the defense for that. The prosecution needs to focus the trial but so far it seems they don't have much against Karen.
The case " I don't recall, I don't remember".
Wouldnt you get an appraisal before starting work, and if you're working with an overpaid agent, they would give your advice. Granted that should always be taken with a grain of salt, as higher price, higher commission.
An official appraiser for the house price costs a fair amount of money, and people selling their home aren't going to want to pay it twice if they don't have to. Also, it's not worthwhile to do it before work is done because the appraiser isn't going to want to guess as to how well the contractor actually does the work. So the appraisal just wouldn't be worth much at that point. And as for the realtor, some are better than others. Commissions are tied directly to the sale price, and not all realtors know how to accurately gauge it. And, not all sellers are willing to listen to their realtor about a realistic price for their home.
@@LegalBytesMedia given the overall budget for the remodel, the appraisal fee would have been modest in comparison to the work to be done. Most home owners are woefully ignorant of their home.
What is the green thing that the woman sitting in front of the judge has near her mouth?
She is the court recorder so she is recording things
Man. Is it just me or does he seem less and less imposing as cross goes on?
He started shaking as the questioning went on more so questions to do with the phones.
Colin Albert created quite a bit of reasonable doubt. He looks guiltily than Karen in my mind
Free Karen Reed cover-up💞
I have my phone in bed with me too because I have a app on there that uses my motion to estimate what levels of sleep I am in. It's plugged in and in my bed though because it's on the edge of the bed. Also, my phone is perpetually on silent because my phone number is not 911. However, I don't have any children so I don't know how motivated I would be to leave it on if I did have kids.
It’s also interesting that he testified that his wife also keeps her phone in the bed between them specifically so they can hear if their kids call, but she didn’t hear her sister call twice?
Total Cover-up
Think about it, that freak did a factory reset in the Soto case and they were still able to pull up a ton of nasty photos of that little girl. 🤷♂️ if it is the same in this situation
As they were saying not everything gets transferred to a new phone a lot is lost when you factory reset..some is automatically lost some is lost as you may not have enough memory on new phone..
I've lost photos over the years,my recent new phone when set up has photos going back to 2007 which I thought I'd lost for ever.
@@marmite. I'm not tech-y enough to explain how but I know forensics team are able to pull out "permanently deleted" images and files from phones and computers. It's just us normal people that lose it forever
@@amandamacabre there's a difference from deleted to being reset if it not back up or transferred to another phone it gone ..when you reset a phone things are lost for ever on that phone as anyone with a bit knowledge could find people's info on a second hand phone..
@@amandamacabreBut you need the actual phone to do that.
@@garykidson4489 yeah but he's claiming he traded it in. Go back to the store and get the phone back. Even if they wouldn't give it to him, I'm sure the police could have gotten it.
After watching 10 days of testimony from prosecution witnesses, I’ve still yet to hear anything incriminating. Everyday the defence is scoring more and more points. Every witness so far has inconsistencies in their testimony
I am waiting for them to come out with all the incriminating stuff towards the very end. They might be trying to get the jury to forget all of this early trial stuff by punching their way through with something they consider can carry enough weight. Perhaps not the best strategy but we shall see. I feel thus far they have no case at all. There has been nothing that would even remotely point towards guilt as proof.
My wife sleeps with her phone in bed. Also, if you had recents call history open when the phone locked it is possible to “butt dial” someone. I’ve done it with my iPhone. Also also if you wear an Apple Watch it can unlock your iPhone without the code or Face ID. If you are wearing the watch and they are near each other
There was no watch mentioned. How are you dialling anyone from a locked phone?
@@garykidson4489 you wouldn’t be calling anyone from a locked screen. If lock your phone and recents was up and lay your phone on the bed. He’s fooling around with his wife, maybe it unlocked with Face ID? Not saying this is what happened but saying it’s plausible. Maybe didn’t mention the watch cause he wasn’t thinking about it. Or they didn’t know to ask.
He didn’t seem to know a lot about the data you may or may not lose when upgrading. Unless it’s all a lie.
I think she backed into him. Sorry that's my opinion.
What do you base that on?
@@LawhAbsolutely nothing.
I'm not convinced the Alberts are involved in any cover up. There's inconsistencies in their testimony, but it's been SO LONG that I think that would be normal, especially if they've been talking amongst themselves to figure out what happened.
I DO think there is a cover up to hide how incompetent the investigation was though. I think that's why we see the first responders being so cagey about their answers and so overly defensive when they're called out. The Alberts have a completely different energy.
This was the worst day for the defense imo. Not only did the defense attorney come off as an a$$h0l3 but he poked holes in his own defense. For example Mr. Jackson pointing out that as a Boston Police officer Mr. Albert had some self defense training. You know who else was a Boston police officer and had that same self defense training? The victim, John O'Keefe. So logic would dictate that two individuals with defense training who got into an altercation would probably leave defensive wounds on one another. So now all the prosecution has to do is provide witnesses that can testify to the fact that Brian Albert had no marks on him following the date of the incident and the defense theory that Mr. Albert attacked John O'Keefe completely loses all credibility. Talk about a self own, smh. Also as an aside Karen Read's attorneys should be telling her to stop smirking in court. This is an unaliving trial of a man that she claimed to care about and where she is the accused; so what about this situation is in any way amusing? It's sad. John O'Keefe lost his life, his family lost a son and brother, his niece and nephew lost their guardian and Uncle, Karen lost her partner and may be falsely accused of this crime, friends lost their friend...nothing about this situation is amusing in any way. The fact that she can't stop smirking in court doesn't look good.
That's a weird take.
She's smirking because she knows they're lying, and how do we know he didn't have any injuries after John died? Besides, if JOK was drunker than Albert, wasn't expecting it, or just wasn't as good of a fighter, than it's to be expected that Albert would have less injuries
@@KaileyB616 Notice how you said "less" not none. Meaning that you agree there should be some signs of a fight. So why has the prosecution not shut down the defense's implications? As to your assertion that the Alberts are lying how exactly do you know this? I don't deny there has been moments where the Alberts have seemed very suspect but I haven't seen any definitive proof that they lied. Also, it's your opinion that she is smirking because the Alberts are lying. You don't actually know what Karen Read is thinking. She could be smirking because she's thinking of Alyte's What If Any Lally Tally. Either way it doesn't matter why she is smirking it still looks bad and her defense should be telling her not to do it. I'm honestly just baffled how anyone has come to any conclusions about this case with the startling lack of information we have thus far.
@@garykidson4489 Not really. Karen Read's lawyers made a lot of accusations by implication today and my mind plays through all the scenarios. For example the defense implied that because Mr. Albert works in law enforcement that he knows how to commit a crime and cover it up. So why then would he lure the victim into his basement to unalive him with a barbell (another defense implication) only to have to drag the victim up a narrow flight of stairs into his backyard and then into his front yard to abandon him where he is easily found? Would it not have been simpler to lure John O'Keefe into his kitchen and unalive him with a knife? Then enlist his wife to help move him into a car to dispose of the victim anywhere other then his own property? It seems that someone with the skills to cover-up an unaliving did maybe the worst job ever if the accusations are correct. I find that odd and the defense seems to be reaching.
Karen is evil.
Judge they will tell you when they don't need the photo! You don't have to interrupt questioning about the photo to ask if they still need it. 🫢
I was thinking the same thing. I was glad he kept his momentum through the question before answering the judge.
