I'm having a hard time understanding how all of this is going on outside around 6 am and no one from the house comes outside. I would be running outside in shock that this was happening outside my house!
This is so sad, those poor children have lost so much in their young lives.
Mother of divine mercy! That prosecution opener was unintelligible!
I'm a Speech Pathologist and would LOVE to work with these people!!!
I could understand what he was saying
@margaretlumley1648 great!
I cannot believe how bad the state’s opening statement was. I barely followed what he said. It was unorganized and just a mess.
Because they are trying to find anything to make it look like she’s guilty. When you have a defense team saying to look at every piece of evidence carefully, that’s innocence. If you’re guilty you wouldn’t want them looking at any evidence.
It was so bad it has to be some kind of tactic?
@@kristinastoico7422 absolutely 💯 correct!
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one feeling that way!
And the sound was terrible also. Defense spoke right up!
The ceiling fan should have a paid position
🤣
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣
Great opening statement from the defense
I know right…he’s a great public speaker. I’d love to know the total cost of her defense 🫢
If by that you mean Yanetti wrote a great number of checks he will be unable to ever cash, then yes.
The defense attorney is a Rockstar! His opening statement should have everyone asking questions about the validity of the charges.
No because it´s just opening statements. Not facts or evidence
@@spalanki352 You are correct that his remarks were not facts or evidence. My bet is that his opening statements will have the jury looking deeper at all witness testimony and evidence presented. He was very bold and definitely plans to show reasonable doubt. I think he will bring it.
@@spalanki352 Let it play out many facts were in the hearing.
He is loving this high profile case.
@@SherryN-bi3yz I´m pretty sure the jury already forgot the opening statements
The mic breathing tho! It’s like Darth Vadar
maybe that is because it is Darth Vader
It’s so annoying! It’s the Judge. Lally does it too. 🙄
@@lyssabella922 The Boston accent is just a lovely also 😂
@@lyssabella922it’s so gross,.. I’ve never watched a trial where the testimony is difficult to listen to because the judge has swallowed the mic
Bev. She is a gem.
Prosecution opening statement was the worst in the history of American jurisprudence.
It was so shoddy it makes one wonder if the prosecutor himself wants out of this lol
Exactly and you forgot the audio it terrible;!!
Yes, this was ridiculous Long, Way too much detailed information, sounded like soap operas story platformed, and Overdone in “set-up” intro in general.
I really tried to keep paying attention but my eyes glazed over ! It was like reading names out of a phone book or something.
It really was….
He’s lost the jury already!
Dude...the defenses opening was the STRONGEST I've ever heard!! Yanneti is a beast!
Agreed
I'm still reeling from the shock of this story. If, what the defense is saying is true.
This case is actually very scary. How could the prosecution move forward without a new investigation first, after just seeing the text messages sent from the lead investigator to his friend? That type of bias and misconduct should have red flagged all evidence gathered by that investigator and had a new unbiased investigation done. It’s all fruit of the poisonous tree at this point.
The fact it could happen to any of us is very scary. Mass police have been corrupt for YEARS!!!
If I’m not mistaking the fbi is currently running their own investigation
Doesn’t take away from her committing the crime…hate for her to get off because of this so called cover up and so called bad investigation…guilty defense always gives those reasons..always..they jump on investigation first almost always. Client guilty as sin and they try that
Omg is the prosecution going to ask what the brother had to eat and how many toilet breaks 🤦🏼♂️ its so painful!!
I knooow! I came to the comments to see if anyone else felt the same as me about his questions 🤦♀️
Totally, I don't understand how these questions are relevant, why do we need to know they binge watch Yellowstone! These questions are a complete waste of time
It's like he has to make up questions because this isn't a real case.
Came here looking for this comment, this was painful to listen to.
Wise of defense not to cross O’Keefe family witnesses with unnecessary questions. Refreshing 😇 strategy.
I agree and not only that he helped defense
The prosecution asked plenty of unnecessary questions.
@@kimk8415 Agree. Not to mention prosecution filled opening with lots of unnecessary detail. Needed a flow chart to keep up with his time travel scenarios too.
Opening statement from prosecution was not strong enough imo...
Terrible….dry….unlikeable
@@sorrellaLally talks about friends etc. being law people so trying to impress the jury that they are law abiding associates.
horrible
It was all over the place. I don’t think he was easy to follow or engaging enough. I kept having to rewind because I would notice myself not paying attention. Unfortunately the jury does not have that luxury.
Prosecutor comes across as very nervous…. Nervous because he knows he’s lying and wrongfully charging her.
The brother is helping defense not prosecutors
He is just telling the truth.
I agree, but the thing is his brother is probably one of the only non bias opinions here…. When it’s your family you don’t care what happens to who you just want to know what happened!
@@haleymoncus5054judging by his mothers facial expressions and the lady next to her, I’m assuming another family member, it seems like they believe Karen did it too. Ridiculous.
What a handsome, caring, fun man John was, such a horrific loss. RIP
Agreed. I’m sad for those kids.
And not only did Karen not get to grieve, she had bogus charges thrown at her.
We need to demand prison time for those involved in such corruption.
If only one claim in the defense's opening statement is true, so far, I have reasonable doubt.
It was literally an opening statement of total complete reasonable doubt. 💪🏽
NONE of the neighbors had cameras???
They did, but the police never asked for them. When it came time to ask for them, the cameras magically weren’t recording at the time. 🙄
They were probably paid off
@@MissCherryBomb69I have a hard time believing that they was paid off.
@@sierramcclary2897 why?
@@MissCherryBomb69 because I have a hard time believing that the police would jeopardize their career and reputation by trying to pay a neighbor off.
Dude the prosecutors questions SUCK!! He asked the first 2 witnesses the exact same questions verbatim and half of them were irrelevant asf! We could have saved like an hour if a better lawyer was up there. Not to mention the terrible opening statement 😬
I saw this type of comment in the Miu stabbing trial too…. You do realize each witness is a unique Individual that could present something unknown… New to trials?
Great opening by the defense!
Where was his reason she was innocent? All I heard was cover up… conspiracy..bogus..
So in a “blizzard snow storm”, his body only had a dusting of snow on top of it after supposedly laying there for almost 6 hours yet all around it had 6 inches of snow? 🤔
My thoughts exactly
Make it make sense 🤦🏽♀️
I heard this too!!
Snow may have melted a bit because he was still warm for a while? 🤷🏼♀️ idk just a thought
@@Lyeah73 and if your uncle was a woman she would be your aunt. Dead bodies ain't so melty.
Fantastic Defense attorney. Opening statement was riveting & damning to Canton PD & Mass State Police lead detective.
Except it doesn’t make Karen any less guilty.
This officer just threw in "there were no footprints coming from the house"? Really? How is it that they came out of the house to check on him, then? Did they fly? Geeezus!
They didnt
why was there only a light dusting of snow on Mr O Keefe when he was supposedly lying in the continuous snowfall for about +-4hrs and this officer says there had been about 6inches of snow
melts on humans
@aysekinsella9790 but only live humans that still have body heat to them. That would then not make sense why he was frozen and his body had to be slowly reheated at the hospital. And every police officer that testified said it was continuous snowfall. So it does make sense that he was not out there for what i now know to be six hours. With the temp and windchill( blizzard conditions), it takes 15-35 mins to freeze and another 35 to cool down. So then he still had to lay the 4 and half hrs. it doesn't make sense with the theory of him being out there for 6 hours because he would be covered in snow by then.
The Plow driver went by the Property at 2:30 a m. and at 3:30 a m. There was No Body in the Front Yard at that time. At 3:30 a.m. Close to where the body was later found was Parked a Ford Fusion. The Alberts owned a Ford Fusion.
I’ve never seen spectators sit so closely to a defendant in a courtroom. The exaggerated expressions and reactions seem unfair and could sway the jury.
Well they aren’t just spectators, they’re the victims family, but I agree about the facial expressions.
@@jessicawhite7204the fact that the Mother of the victim is the one making the facial expressions and mouthing words in response ti the defense attorney’s opening statements makes it even worse. I am surprised and concerned it is allowed.
@@crimenurse8264I agree. Maybe someone will read these messages and bring it to the attention of the court.
@@crimenurse8264totally agree!!! Can’t believe it. So prejudiced. Karen has them practically breathing down her neck.
Well it was the defense's desire to move into that courtroom.
What's with the judge and the heavy breathing🙄
She needs to move her mic slightly.
Not her it’s the law and crime reporter
If she gets found guilty while Casey Anthony is walking free then I give up faith on the justice system
Casey was abused by her dad, had nothing but love for Kaylee & was blamed for murder after an accidental drowning because dad and public are evil. She still has to hide from all the ignorant people like you. Her father was helping the prosecution put her to death. Who does that? The jury understands what really happened, why can't everyone else?
@@patrickt21574 she was a compulsive liar, you can’t believe anything she says. Of course she’s going to claim abuse at the end after she realized she couldn’t explain the rest of her web of lies
@@patrickt21574 accidental drowning? Why was there chloroform searched on the computer and then found in the trunk of her car? You’re the ignorant one
What did we learn from the 1st two witnesses ? Absolutely nothing
The defense came out swinging !
I agree 👍
Prosecutor's Opening Statement was horrible & confusing. It seemed longer than 45 minutes & felt neverending!!
And most of it had nothing to do with what happened
Is this the prosecutor's first trial? That opening statement might be the worst opening statement I have ever heard.
State has a weak case. That’s because Karen is innocent
Cannot with his “what if any…..”beginning every sentence. Like Johnny Depp trial all over again…..
I thought it was just me!! I expected a story as to her motive and how she did it. All he kept saying are the names of those who will testify and he totally lost me. I expect the jury felt the same way.
I guess their whole case is based on the fact they fought in Aruba one month prior?
I guess anyone who has a public argument with their partner is a potential murderer.
horrible opening
I knew nothing about this case until today. I googled some things just to understand the gist of what's being alleged. I have to say this is one of the very few times watching trials where the defense opening was more compelling than the prosecution opening for me. I'm a biologist who has worked with various animals (mainly dogs) for 20+ years and from initially looking at the marks on John's arms, they really do look like a dog could have caused them. I'm not sure how a SUV would cause that but I'm interested in what the medical examiner has to say.
I have trained/raised professional dogs for 10+ years. Yep, those are dog bites/dog claw marks.
Why is he asking the wife the exact same questions ? Waste of time move on
The Prosecution's case, or lack thereof, is absolutely pathetic. It's sad and alarming how many pieces of evidence exonerate Karen Read. It's shocking this case was actually filed. I honestly don't see how a jury, relying upon common sense, along with the incredibly, incompetent police investigation, could unanimously vote guilty.
I think that the prosecution is very weak, and they filed charges to cover up for police misconduct.
Everytime I think about this case the same thing crosses my mind. I am astonished the commonwealth is still moving forward to prosecute her with so much reasonable doubt & evidence pointing to Karen’s innocence
💯💯
What an inarticulate man this prosecutor is! Every other sentence he fills in with “sort of.”
I guess he’s “sort of” the best the Commonwealth has to offer?!
I wouldn’t say exonerate but definitely creates reasonable doubt.
Lalley hasn’t even proven or introduced anything worst opening ever and Yanetti nailed it
You get that from opening statements?? It’s a narrative of what’s to come..oh, the prosecutor isn’t theatrical. This is court not a movie. They both did well but the elaborate cover up is a crock. Guilty clients always jump on investigation or it’s a conspiracy crap..she did it..
Prayers for The Children
I’m keeping an open mind throughout this trial. I am not leaving one way or another. Gonna listen to both sides and see how I feel at the end
The judge needs to stop heaving directly in to the microphone!
Been waiting for this trial. Will be following.
This judge needs to stop her heavy breathing
McCabe’s google history is actually all you need to know about what really happened.
They have no case that horrific opening by Lally proves it! The defense has the truth on their side they don’t need to smoke the mirrors
Smoke the mirrors? You mean "they don't need the smoke and mirrors"
"They have no case" YET here we are at trial. The cultish views and opinions on here are mindboggling when faced with facts. Speaks volumes.
😆😆😆 smoke the mirrors 🤦🏼♂️
Lmao 😂
Wrong.
This prosecutor is driving me nuts! Taken a leaf out of Elaine Bredehoft book of asking questions "what if anything"!!!! Boring me to tears with his flat affect. I really haven't made my mind up on this case yet as would like to hear and see all evidence. However, I do think the charges are far reaching. IF she did hit him I believe it was an accident and she was too drunk to notice, but also am interested in the corruption theory.
He seems bad at this. Did he ever make any discernible point with the examination of the brother? I had to turn it off, but it didnt seem like it was going anywhere.
None in my opinion! Same with the brothers wife. Asking the same questions. Just terrible!
@@dianewillson4535 Thanks.
I was thinking the same about them overcharging her but maybe their theory is that her leaving him there and the hitting him with the car is the reason why he di3d
Exactly. He's making it hard to remain unbiased.
I thought the judge ruled they couldnt talk about 3rd party culprits in the opening? Guess i didnt understand what that ruling entailed.
Also how is anything from her phone admissable if the lead investigator went through it without a warrant?
Judge needs to admonish the women making faces and comments in the front row.
That is the victims mum
She should be outraged at this farce of a case.
@@klaj6595 we’re all trying to work out if she’s outraged or if she doesn’t believe the defence…I’m inclined to think the latter atm 🥺
@@Amzlouuuseems pretty clear when the defense attorney speaks his first sentence in opening.
Makes you wonder if they will be open to hearing all the evidence or if they are just so bought into whatever the state has told them that they won’t care.
Ppl say the damndest things & take blame when in shock. When my dad died I took blame telling emt's & everyone it was my fault; I should've been there the one & only time I wasn't. So according to this Canton officer I could've been charged, get outta here it's called shock.
I absolutely agree it’s shock!! And to be honest in some parts of the police video I thought I heard her say as she was running around “How?.. how?”
Exactly. Our brains are in shock. Nothing makes sense, so we try to force the puzzle pieces to fit...even when they don't. She had no way of knowing what had actually happened to John was so damn sinister, it could have come out of a movie.
That’s so sad for the two kiddos , to lose your mom and then your dad and then your caretaker! Ugh, that’s devastating! I’m trying to save my judgement til the end of trial but if I was to solely base it off the openings, defense was the real MVP!
It's horribly sad for the kids. 😢
I totally agree how tragic to lose both parents and then your main caretaker and even his girlfriend who helped take care of them. Horrible’
They have to HAVE TO HAVE TO ask the judge to admonish or move the older ladies in the front row over near the defendant. They are making facial expressions at a lot of what defense says and trying their best to taint the jury with their expressions. Totally inappropriate.
Isn't that where John's mother and father sit. Joined by his brother Paul and wife Karen? There are some older ladies though that could be moved, but doubt it will happen.
I noticed that from the very beginning..they look like b*tches!!! How incredibly awkward & hard that would be for anyone, whether innocent or guilty!
@@bettymermaid8346 doesn’t matter who they are. It usually isn’t allowed -family or not.
Besides being dull, the prosecutor's voice was difficult to understand due to his vocal tone and cadence. He sucks.
why are there no cops around to show support for their fallen brother??
I think it was ruled they could not be there
@@laurieballou7993 even during the pretrial hearings?
@@Kay__Tee I'm not sure about that you're correct they could have been there for that
Corrupt cops are everywhere..Defense did an excellent statement.
Sure. All very convenient that tonight they decided was the night to kill him.. conveniently Karen was wasted.. they were fighting..and she was there.
Come on now
The audio is poor it is like the court was under the sea. 😂
1:21:00 Karen tells Ms Roberts that John was hit by a plough. There is only one reason someone engages in a cover up BEFORE the actual finding of John! GUILTY!
Opening statements aren’t evidence
Agree. I hope they lock her up. Bet she loses that smug “I own this courtroom” look when she’s in cuffs.
@@TammiLynn Extraordinary how this "innocent" person is able to smile and laugh yet is facing many years in jail?
@@tigerlily9536 yeah she’s absolutely loving the attention shes getting from the death of a man she supposedly loved. That alone screams disgusting human being.
@@tigerlily9536so did she get out and bite his arm too?
Police have no rights to pull phone evidence from Karen Reed's cell phone without a search warrant via a judge. This incident and more Scream foul ! Karen Reed is innocent ~ Go Nomar 🧦
He took the phone to look for nudes, he told his high school buddies...
Well , there hasn’t even been a trial and all these folks thinks she’s innocent. 🤷♀️ I’ll wait to hear the evidence.
She is innocent till proven otherwise
that's the sheep gang...
I don’t!
It’s odd right? We shall see.
We've read the "evidence" - you are late to the case. She is innocent. Worse yet are the corrupt and arrogant cops who covered up their murder of John O'Keefe!
Well it’s “innocent til proven guilty” that’s how it works in the court of law?
hot mic judge..... darth vader vibes
So many comments on "free Karen" and "she's not guilty" ... not even waiting to hear evidence about the case. I agree, the prosecution opening statement was weak and rides rough, but he did mention some crucial evidence that would prove Karen is guilty. Ill wait to see what the evidence provides. I suggest that a "Cover-up" by multiple people is a really really hard task to actually pull off.
I think some people have been following the case for a long time. I'd forgotten all about it until I heard the opening statements, but it came back to me. I couldn't make up my mind when it first happened, but I had doubts that she was guilty. I think I'm neutral at this point for the most part, but I do remember thinking there were some questionable things regarding the police, so I'm hoping the trial clears up some of those doubts.
I was married at 19 to my high school girlfriend after I joined the army years ago. Our age didn't do us any favors, but the thing that caused the most arguments was alcohol. We were young with no kids, and young people in the military tend to drink a lot socially. There was a lot of jealousy, and we saw other couples our age cheating. In the end, we didn't last mostly because we were too young, but jealousy was a huge culprit. Most of our friends who also married young split up as well. This couple is much older than we were, but if you combine jealousy with alcohol, it's bound to go wrong. In this case, it went really, really wrong. I have a lot of sympathy for his family, but I am neutral so far on who is responsible and whether or not it was accidental or deliberate. I'm also not sure who is covering things up if there is indeed a cover up. One thing I know is that police are basically fraternal, and could be covering for someone. However, that doesn't mean they are. I'm going to go back and find the early videos about this case because I don't remember the details. If she's innocent, I feel for her. If anyone on the police force is lying to cover for someone, she could be found guilty when she's not, simply because no one on the force is going to come forward this late in the case. I hope the truth comes out. I'd rather see the guilty party go free than a wrong conviction, even though it would suck if there wasn't justice. If she did run over him, I don't know if it was intentional. She was drinking, so it could have been an accident, although she would still be held accountable for causing his death. But it wouldn't be intentional homicide. Do you know how long the trial is supposed to last?
Its actually not that hard when the whole police force is behind you!!
That's because a defendant is to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Not thinking maybe one way or the other. She is to be thought of as completely innocent.
the comments about Michelle Troconis were disgusting. No such thing as a fair trial in America
@@zxy78267 I agree with you. So when I was in the Army, i was also a Rangers wife. My husband was a Mogidishu Ranger. The only reason I bring it up is because of the secrecy behind a group of comrades. It was sooooo controlled what the spouses knew. Not that there was any "cover up" but eventually one Ranger would mention something to a wife, and then everyone would know. Its really hard not to let secrets out with a group of people. I think the trial is supposed to last 6-8 weeks.
Does anyone know what the brother in law died of two months after his wife died ? Also am I the only one who thinks it is a little strange that John took the two young kinds after his sister and brother in law died. I mean he was a young single police officer, the other brother is married and has two kids about the same age. the reason given was total BS, He claimed his house was too small. Yet John lived in a Condo. So far nothing points to a motive why Karen would kill him. No money comes her way. Also the testimony so far states she loved the kids and cared for them better than their uncle. In fact they said she spoiled them.
I have the same question. I'm thinking he died by choice and that's why it wasn't discussed for privacy. The brother and sister in law helped her in character and even how they liked her and confirmed the arguments were normal couple stuff. I wonder what the prosecutor thought this would do to help his case. All that video of the driveway and cars was useless.
@@Btflmamaprosecution sort of reminds me of the defense attorney in Michelle Trononis case. Droning on and on, entering useless information into evidence to beef up the case. Just all around a terrible job by the prosecution so far. I feel like it’s going to be one of those cases where you’re looking so hard for a smoking gun and the closest you get is a BB gun from 16 miles away 😂
@@Btflmamayeah….same question I have. (There is tacotsubo cardiomyopathy possibility)
I googled it, according to Boston Globe it was a sudden heart attack😢
@@BrittanyJ949 thank you
For someone they claim killed him with intent she sure acted strange when the police came to the scene.
Prosecutor comes across as very nervous…. Nervous because he knows he’s lying and knows what he and the others are doing is WRONG
Exactly. I felt the same way. He doesn’t even believe in his own case.
Wow... Defense attorney was amazing.
Why was Karen so quick to leave the family home after 30 minutes and not at least stay to support the grieving children? She was surrounded by John's family who were welcoming and supportive?
I didn’t even realize the prosecutor was giving his opening until he was about 1/4 way through. He sounds so flat … like the “clear eyes” guy
You want theatrics? It’s a trial not a movie or play.
@@PEBBLEZ21 actually, I just want to see a prosecutor who is enthusiastic about the case they are presenting. Any other questions Pebs?
@@Ninotchka0902lol you think they like prosecuting people? Ok nin…
I know nothing about this case and am already so confused trying to follow the states opening
Yeah. His opening statement was awful and will leave you more confused than informed. You’re better off googling the case and going from there.
Light dusting of snow on him at 6am during a blizzard yet alleged to have been left there to die from 12.30am 🤔 yeah ok
I’ve been waiting for this trial I have a feeling that I’m going to like this defense attorney about as much as I liked Johnny depps attorney
If karen had hit and run over him wouldnt there be evidence all over that suv? Unfortunately I think Karen may have been blackout drunk which is hurting her recollection. I am undecided on her guilt or innocence but based on evidence presented so far the case against her seems very thin.
They say she hit him reversing 60ft at 24mp in severe weather conditions in a narrow street…missed the fire hydrant, flag pole & tree. He had zero injuries below the waist..now unless she’s a stunt woman & he was sitting down when she supposedly hit it’s merely impossible imp.
Where are the crime scene photos? where is the picture of him laying in the snow with blood on his face?? there aren't any. ZERO
@@ApplePie.. they didn’t take any…oh wait actually someone did from an IPhone then they were lost 🙄🙄
@@Amzlouuu Exactly. I did the exact same thing when I was in high school when I was drunk. I didn't hit anybody but the garage door got a dent. and I was just going into the driveway of my parents home. Oops. Grounded for a month.
Whatever your opinion is about this case, we have to admit, Karen Read has thrown everything she has into her defense. Her lawyers are backing her 100%
It’s interesting, lots of people don’t understand why so many people are lying to cover for the Alberts and McCabes. I don’t think those people understand the influence those families have in the town of Canton, they’re townies who have been there for several generations. They’re essentially a Canton combination of the Sopranos and the Kennedys.
I also think most don’t know how the few people involved that night who have decided to be truthful and honest and not followed the script have been treated by those Canton tonwies. Tom Beatty and his daughter have been honest and have been constantly attacked and ostracized by the townies.
Imagen putting his mom right next to her! Poor mom 💔💔
John O’Keefe’s father wanted to be placed on Karen’s side of the courtroom. That’s probably why John’s Mom is sitting there too.
The judge sighs loudly so frequently. It's as though she's being put out by having to be there. Completely unprofessional
They KNOW she'll NEVER be found guilty. They fully expect it. As long as the REAL KILLER will never be prosecuted. NOPE !
Thank you judge!!
Is the audio bad or is it just the speaking voice of the prosecutor?
Audio is terrible. Mute the mics not in use, please.
Why is the prosecutor asking "what type of road in front of the house where the body was found?" "It's that neighborhood commercial or residential?"
The judge looks like a Who from Whoville
So why is no one asking why NO one from the house came outside to check on why all the police ambulances and fire engines were at their house? And especially after that one female went in the house?? I find that so very strange!!
If Karen Read was screaming that certainly heard that from in the house.. Please make it make sense
What a tiny courtroom.. I can't imagine sitting in there like that for hours every day
Did the recording skip right when the DA was about to describe when she hit him with the car - allegedly- and then jump to the next morning? Or did he not address it at all?
How does a cop in a 1 income household buy an $815K house? Maybe money from his sister and BIL passing? If not I would be inclined to think there was an extra source of income through the police service…….
Probably the sale of the first house and I’m sure the kids get survivors benefits.
Zero to do with the case.
Cameraman great job, Audio needs turned up or speakers could use microphones...thank you
When the cop said “He was cold to the touch” really???🙄
So the police investigated themselves and found nothing wrong. Ok Nothing to see here. She’s as innocent as the Defense is strong!
Who near murders someone then says, oh I know, I’ll pop them in FRONT of my house for possibly anyone to see. Ridiculous argument from the defence.
So did she also bite his arm to make it look like a dog attacked him?
@@88jeebs if you think those are dog bites you’re very naive.
Actually it makes perfect sense. They knew he was dropped off by Karen and all they had to do was claim that he never made it inside.
@@TreesRLifeX exactly. To say it makes no sense is a ridiculous sentiment.
@@88jeebs why is that so relevant? She hits him with the car, territorial dog comes after he is left for dead and bites him. How would that change anything?
Why r they not laying out a specific time line of things. They have the footage with time stamps. Very sloppy.
Dirty, corrupt cops behind all this!
Hey judge, back away from the mic! You’re frazzling my brain!
Glad I know the whole town now.
Defense has managed to put the state on trial, imo
Biased judge is the one with the hot mic.
Opening statements start at : 57:40
Is it just me or did Rick Moranis just do opening for prosecution…
😂😂😂
Wasn’t able to watch the trial today so just watching defense opening statement now…I thought the judge had ruled they couldn’t mention third party in their opening?
I thought exact same thing!!!
That's what was so brilliant about Defense opening -Yanetti didn't speak to "the" 3rd party culprits, instead he spoke to shoddy/tainted/biased investigation, and therefore made it easy for jury / listener to question / infer dirty cops ...killers?
Odd court room set up that lawyers backs are to the person speaking at the podium.
Podium is facing the jury box. That will change probably once the openings are done…and will face the witness stand if kept at all. This isn’t so unusual to have the podium face the jury for openings.
@@cynthiaoliver8566 thanks. I work in a courtroom and everything faces forward and nothing moves so this was so different.
I thought it was the person recording who's breathing into the mic, not the judge.
They should really advise Karen to come across “softer” not so harsh/annoyed/overly confident…
No one should try and act any kind of way. It’s all about evidence, not based on how she acts
@@InLieuTube lol
She acts like she's a rock star coming in to the courthouse. It's disgusting, guilty or innocent.
@@kristinastoico7422 correct
@@julin2rs548 She gonna be a rock-star in prison
Judge has the room set up just as she wanted! Laughing group opposite the jury when defense was opening! This is despicable 🤬
Which “team” was the laughing group? Granted, I was mind numbed after DA opening debacle 😮
Well, she's known as Aunt Bev by the Albert family. The deep corruption in the Massachusetts "justice" system is real. Take it from a lifelong resident.
This court room is set up according to a standard of where the judge sits, where the jury box is, and the seating for observers is fixed. The judge did not orchestrate a change in how a court is set up. The prosecution and the defense tables face the judge and the witness box. The jury box is to one side so they have a view of the witness, the judge and the legal team. Prosecution table is typically closest to the jury box. Defense is adjacent with an aisle between. The podium is facing the jury for the opening statements. Observers are behind and to the side. Nobody has set anything up that varies from the standard.
I have never seen members of the families or other people in the court room FACING AND STARING AT THE JURY ALL DAY LONG!
@@bumblingbe old historic courthouse. Old small courtroom.
Her hands were on steering wheel at 10 & 2 🤣.
Why’s that funny?
Well, any earlier footsteps coming from the house could’ve been covered by the snow 🙄
