Hey guys, if I had missed a call that came around 5 AM in the morning, you can bet your booties. I would be calling that person back immediately, wanting to know what was wrong. No one calls just to chat at that hour of the day.good grief
What's the deal with Brian Higgins? He's at the bar, goes to the afterparty, goes to the police station in the super early morning on a Saturday, and then back to the house.
Emergency vehicles may not have used sirens but they did use lights. Ambulance, fire truck, and 3 police vehicles used lights. I find it very difficult to believe they didn’t wake up, especially because the dog may have been barking.
Plus the loud diesel engines idiling
and I don’t care if she had her curtains and blinds closed, those lights would still have illuminated her bedroom.
So far, my needle is not moving. I couldnt convict even if i believed she was guilty.
Came across your channel last week and haven’t left !!! Thank you for your coverage
She is good right?
A reactive dog like Chloe should/would have heard the commotion outside. Most dogs want to alert their people of anything like this.
I've slept through alarms, sirens, and a mild earthquake - or would have had my dog not reacted to every single thing. Dogs are sensitive, and they bark. So that the Andersons - one of them an experienced cop! - did *not* wake up from the commotion going on outside their own door with a problematic dog is extremely weird and suspicious.
Brian albert looking down at his hands is a poker tell... hiding something for sure.
One thing that keeps bothering me is the Albert’s claim the sister busted in their bedroom which I find strange. I would think she would knock on the door even bang but just walk in….don’t believe it.
The other thing is would they had went to their window and looked out. To me that would be first thing I did. This is happening right outside their window. It doesn’t sound like a natural reaction.
✅
*Warning- anatomical description of injuries for the purpose of educated discussion* Unpopular opinion- so far, based on evidence and testimony, I don't believe any of these people intentionally killed him. I don't see the behavioral red flags or evidence for it.
His wounds per the autopsy photos are so much different than anyone has described and completely changed my opinion on his death. Many have said there were cuts or goose eggs on his face but there are none, the damage to the face is consistent with a severe blow to back of the head where his laceration is, the force of which goes to the sinus area and causes the kind of swelling and bleeding he had. The eye bruising was not consistent with punches to the face, it was consistent with a brain slamming into a forehead with extreme force, to the point of excessive internal bleeding. There were no abrasions or bruising to the nose, brow, forehead, jaw or cheekbones- suggesting no assault took place. The split in the back of his head is where one would hit if they fell straight over backwards, just above the occipital ridge, straight left to right. The supposed bruising to his hands is just lividity (blood settling after death due to gravity) in a part of the hand that naturally rests on the ground when you lay it on its back, it is not an area which should make contact during offensive or defensive positioning. There are no bruises or abrasions to the knuckles. The only thing that makes no sense is the wounds to his arm. Those are not familiar to me. They are similar to some injuries caused by dogs that I've seen but it still doesn't really fit.
It's possible that she backed over him intentionally but if she'd have gone back at the distance they say she did I believe he would have moved out of the way. I would really like to see a reenactment that explains where he hit his head and how the arm was lacerated. The only thing we really know from the available evidence is that somehow, he fell with enough force to cause severe head trauma. We need to know where his head struck. We need to know how much force was necessary for that level of trauma. I would like to see evidence on whether a man of that size could simply slip and fall and create that level of force or if he would have to have been knocked over by a vehicle. And is it possible to be hit by a vehicle hard enough to make you land and whack your head with that level of force, while still leaving your torso unscathed? We need a reenactment.
I could understand if they brought her in for a charge like manslaughter but assigning any intent is a stretch, especially considering their shoddy crime scene handling and evidence collection. They miscalculated badly with this charge. This whole thing seems like an unfortunate tragedy fueled by booze and poor weather conditions and clouded by gross incompetence and toxic attitudes.
Do you think he could have fallen down the stairs inside the house?
This is UNREAL! A whole corrupt community! 😮
She rehomed the dog because it attacked John and ultimately got him killed
Yep
Thank you for tonight! Nighty nighty!
I’m guessing and it looks more like Colin got into fight with John and then dog came from back yard to protect Colin
1:14:15 so Brian Albert testifies that Julie brought over donuts AND COFEE, but Julie’s testifies that she planned on dropping off donuts in a car sitting in the driveway. Was Julie going to also put a hot coffee in a car in freezing temperature so someone could drink an ice cold coffee at a later time? 😮 Complete nonsense. Julie made that early morning visit knowing what had happened that night.
Just want to say alyte thank you so much for the coverage and the recaps. I wouldn't be watching if it wasn't for you. And if baby bytes makes it uncomfortable, I'm sure nobody minds if you need a break. That being said, thank you for great content ❤
I really appreciate your kind words-thank you!! And I’m glad you’re enjoying the coverage!!
Can you say Keystone cops? All you have to do is watch the trial, and you will see incompetence at a level that you never knew existed. I certainly do not pretend to know what happened, but something just doesn’t feel or smell right.
Im very curious to hear KR voicemails.. if what I read is true they were def fighting?
can wait for cross examination!
Brian Albert makes all the hair stand on the back of my neck... bad vibes....
I'm not sure exactly where the prosecution is headed- but it has the feeling of going nowhere fast...🤔
In other words where is all of this damning evidence that Karen did it? I want see it.....🧐
That's what ive been waiting for. All this talk about high tops are the bar Snow, and " I don't remember " Not much about their evidence.
Prosecution is trying to protect the Albert family, like proving they didn't know, didn't hear... They seem to be the law in town.
I'm waiting for the prosecution to call the band to the stand and testify about what music they were playing. I'm being facetious but I remember someone testifying that one or more of the Alberts helped the band clean up, so it's actually within the realm of possibility.
Karen Read admitted she hit him to 7 people. Her busted taillight was found at the feet of the dead man. What else do you need? These are huge pieces of evidence that the defense won’t be able to overcome. To explain away this damning evidence, they had to resort to a defense of a mass conspiracy involving over a dozen people. And the only reason they chose this route is because of a shoddy investigation that a teenager could have handled better.
Pic in front of fire hydrant, was that bl00d? The leaf blower video showed finding the glass base in front of the flagpole where John was found?? More questions
Having another listen & Higgins has a plow on the front of his truck?! 🤔
Ok! So I’ve been a paralegal in the criminal division for many years. That being said I’ve not seen a judge appear to direct so many questions of a defense attorney. Maybe I’m wrong but this judge almost asked “so what do you want to ask her?” 😂 Maybe it’s just the state I’m in but if something comes up and defense has another question they’re allowed to call a witness back.
App he's a:Officer(John Okeelfe
App they didn't put on the sirens n all,or she must b heavily sedated;)Also she said:Chloe was in her room,if some1 dashed into the bedroom,aren't they afraid 2b shot immediately????!!!!!Yeah;)*
When Ms Little mentions her brother(is it:Jackson)she's refe
Replay Crew here. Q: I know lawyers cannot (or should not) feed their witnesses a testimony script, but isn't it normal/permissible for either side to prepare witnesses by acting as an opposing attorney? Most of these witnesses seemed to "forget" dates, times, places and even relationships (such as friends). I know Officer O"Keefe died in January 2022, but there seemed to be a lot of memory loss floating around that witness box. Q: After watching (summaries not full day sessions) 9 days of trial, I have so many questions for the prosecution regarding forensics, time line, investigation. Is the less than stellar performance by the prosecution seem unusual (it does to me, a non-lawyer)?
It may seem she’s inconsistent but sometimes people do forget so doesn’t have to always be dishonest
What you often see in trials (at least the ones juicy enough to stream) is that the witnesses remember perfectly fine all the time on direct, then when they are on cross the "I don't remember" come in quick succession. You either have a bad memory or you don't, there should be no difference between who's asking you.
Wow the:Defence has a secret(the unassuming)very lethal:Ms Little congrats!Yeah**
Not that it matters but they clearly do not share a bedroom = both of them said 'My' bedroom - stumbled and then corrected themselves and said 'our' bedroom
He’s stumbled saying “my” instead of ours a few times. Like he said my twins and had to correct himself.
Maybe they aren’t used to answering things as a couple.
How is the dog issue relevant?
If they show the autopsy photos you will see the dog bites and scratches on the victims arm.
The fact it was removed immediately after John's death, the sale of the house at a 50 grand loss...why sell it in haste??? Hmm why rip out basement floor?? Hmm, where was John's other sneaker ?? Hmm never found, if she hit him both shoes would be on the ground dh
1:51:30 we’ll find out the answer to this question when the witnesses that left the house that morning testify. And if it turns out, they passed the area the body was found, the defense’s theory gets 100x more believable, albeit still less than 0.01 % likely. I can understand no one seeing him as they walk to their from the front door,but a couple drivers passing the snow-whitened area where a body lies within 10’ of a headlight-illuminated curb and seeing nothing will be a large quiver in the defense’s cap, especially when coupled with the plow driver’s forthcoming testimony.
He's sounding all supportive and super conscientious about JO. But ....
Did you find out anything about KR being assaulted in the courthouse? I couldn't find anything.
I saw reports on Twitter from unofficial sources that another police officer came in contact with and bumped Karen, and that he was tossed from the courthouse as a result. I haven’t seen confirmation beyond those posts, however.
@@LegalBytesMedia Thank you! I saw somewhere, & after everything I've watched & read today, I don't recall where, the cop actually shoved her. Who knows? That kinda sounds like someone reported the "bump" & exaggerated the retelling of it. Of course, like the child's game, only adults, & they enjoy telling gross exaggerations every retell! Who knows? One would think if something actually happened worth repeating, it would've made someone's news report. And I can't find it anyway.
I just realized HERE it shows me as PhoebeMc but on my acct watching (and my membership to your channel) as PurchasesMadeSimple. I started the channel to do Amazon reviews. I no longer do them nor do I create videos so I was actually thinking of changing the name. It's just a lot to repeat or respond to.
@@PhoebeMc it shows your @ which is the channel/account specific part of your CZcams account's link. If you go to the youtube app on mobile and tap on the name it does show the actual name of your account xD
With all those ppl around,is it possible 4her to keep tab of every1😅Don't think so,no wonder she looked soo tired?!!
Karen Read is innocent💞
1:10:56 you mean to tell me Albert can’t recall specifics about his conversation with Officer Lenk but he DOES remember than his dog took 2-3 minutes to pee and then his dog came in and walked around the kitchen for 2 minutes before he walked his dog up to 5he bedroom (his wife testified about the dog’s actions that night almost verbatim). Brain Albert and his wife are obviously lying about their recollection of where the dog was that night.
Well at the very least if u had people over drinking at ur house and a man is dead on ur lawn I’d automatically assume one of the other guests possibly the younger ones knocked him down
App if John got into a fight(quite sure he fought)back!!!Unless he was out-numbered;)Quite sure the other person was injured 2*!!!!!!
Lollygag is an old word -- my mother used to use it. Don't lollygag around.
I moved from MA some years ago. I’ve been asked about how I speak. People I work with in the PNW have not heard of so many terms that aren’t weird from MA. Maybe MA is filled with such a group of people over history where it’s become a verbiage stew of fun things to say especially if razzing a good friend.
Hope Karen's protected vigorously(maybe there's)undercover cops in court 2*❤God bless Karen(John's watching over her
I think it’s been established who was at the waterfall that night and what they had to drink, to eat, and what time everyone left. This repetitive crap is ridiculous with every witness the prosecution calls to the stand. Please, it’s time to move on and get to what actually happened that night.
You dont remember what you drink, When I drink its miller lite, does he drink so many different drinks he cant remember?
Intimidating to the average citizen he maybe not to any serious capable men I know would find him in the least Intimidating .
Anybody who's owned a dog is going to find it very hard to believe their dog didn't flip out and awaken them with by all the police cars and such outside. Note that included Read running around yelling.
That's one of the reasons you get a dog, to alter you to strangers especially strangers doing strange things.
If there's an explanation, they sure should have gave it.
One possible explanation is it's a former police dog. They are highly trained though I'm skeptical that behavior would be trained out of them.
It is a German shepherd. That arm injury could possibly be explained by the dog grabbing someone in the way police dogs would.
Though of course that wouldn't actually help the cw's case.
The injuries on his arm looks more like a pack of vultures than dog scratches. There are no bite marks on his arm, only scratches and lacerations that could be explained by being ran over by a 3-ton SUV, not by a dog. Dogs don’t have sharp claws that could have caused those injuries. And we know what a dog bite mark looks like.
@@prisonersdilemma939 Lol, granted my post was kind of long but if you're going to respond, perhaps consider reading it?
I wasn't talking about injuries nor about whatever happened to the guy at all.
Former K9 or not, she’s a herding dog, so she’s bred to be on alert for incursions on her territory. So yeah, definitely seems like a conspicuous omission on the whole… of course, a dog found to be involved in attacking and potentially fatally wounding a man would be put down, especially on a second offense, so I’m sympathetic to their being coy about where she is now if that’s what happened.
The Albert's are not lying. I can tell. ( ftr- I'd prefer if Karen was innocent , I like her, but I can see that she knows too, that they are innocent . Jail is a powerful motivator ).
Something happened on the lawn , either Karen hit him unwittingly, OR, another car did, and fled. These Cantoners aren't lying.
I can See that .
The Police work is sloppy as hell , but that's a separate matter.
They did not hurt John, and cover it up.
They are covering their son.
Sloppy police work is not -in my opinion, another matter, especially if it was done sloppily on purpose. To me all the mistakes here are too ridiculous to be believable.
@@timothyfreeseha4056 Agree. The whole reason you gather evidence professionally is because you never know if it may become relevant. Imagine, just as an example, John was murdered intentionally by a completely unconnected person. The police could never find that person because the evidence gathering was poor.
I agree. She is guilty beyond any reasonable doubt. The Albert’s and others have been accused of a conspiracy to murder by the defense. Can you imagine if you were in their shoes? I look forward to the day Karen Read is sentenced to 30 years. 20 years for the murder and 10years for blaming her murder on good people that have done nothing wrong. The investigation and the Albert’s (and others) behavior after the murder is astounding but it doesn’t come close to implicating them in the mass conspiracy claimed by the defense.
It’s too bad she just didn’t accept blame of what she did that early morning and subsequently served 5-10years for manslaughter. Instead she gets to spend a very long time in prisons for the murder and the claims she has made afterwards.
John O'keefe deserved the best of the best investigation by LE, he was one of their own. It's a disgrace the disrespect the LE shows John O"Keefe and none of them has an ounce of remorse.
At this point whether KR hit JO with her vehicle or not, which I don't think she did, there's 100% reasonable doubt with all the contaminated evidence. IMOO, I don't think the prosecutor is THAT incompetent. I think he knows the truth and (lost a bet or pulled the short straw) and was forced to take on the case. His conscience is bothering him, he just can't convict an innocent woman with a debilitating disease.
1) blood evidence in un-sterile cups, unsealed bag, open bag with blood 2 ft away from the back of KR's vehicle on a dirty floor.
2) Why is everyone lying, especially LE? 25 yrs, 30 yrs, 20 yrs etc as a cop and still don't know how to preserve evidence? Do an interview? Separate potential suspects? etc etc
3) Where's the beloved dog?
4) Why redo the basement before selling the house, when it was already done 2-3 yrs before?
5) Why didn't Jen run for help in the house when they found JO to get help, knowing that her BIL is trained in EMT? or even to get blankets to warm him up? He was her friend for years.
6) How did this sloppy investigation, contaminated evidence etc get past 2 grand juries?
7) Removal of the tail light and then put it in a towel? instead of an evidence box? No pics of the vehicle at the time they picked it up and then very dark video of processing the vehicle, that one can barely see what they are doing? Is this how the state police process evidence? The local police have all the excuses of why they didn't process the scene properly or how to interview witnesses/suspects etc etc, what excuse does the state police have?
