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.

    What do you think about the "black blob" testimony? Credible, or no?

    • @brillbexy
      @brillbexy Před 18 dny +13

      I think Julie believes she saw something, but the “blob” and size of it may be her memory trying to make sense of it retrospectively. The reliability of her testimony is questionable because she said the SUV wasn’t parked outside when she went to speak to her brother plus two others who all testified that the SUV was parked in front of their vehicle at that time.

    • @Mark-ml3nv

      She wants to say that she saw enough to think there was a person lying there, without saying that she saw a person lying there.
      She claims she was concerned enough to say something out loud, but not concerned enough to have a conversation about it. How concerned was she? She wasn't. Drunks getting a ride home in a snow storm are not concerned about dark blobs on other people's lawns. They're certainly not more observant than trained observers, who are looking at their own lawn.
      It's all too convenient for credibility.
      Vague on details? 'She was drunk.' Overflowing with new details? 'Hey, she wasn't THAT drunk!'

    I think the most interesting part of Julie's testimony is that even after it was found that someone died on the front lawn, on the very spot she saw a blob - she told no one! Not the investigators, not the police, in no interviews, nothing. Only now, on trial did this come out. If I saw a dark blob and later it came out that a person had died in roughly the same spot - you better believe I'm running to the police and telling them

      I see him as just hating that he is there, he was prickly with prosecution. Wasn't he just talked to May 8th, 2024, like after the trial started? So if he had to take off work to testify for something he thought he wouldn't have to, I can understand that. My spouse would probably be so irritated at such a thing he'd be the same. Especially as Tristan's testimony gives us not much, even if he did remember, what does he add besides yeah I picked up my gf when she said I did? And if there is a coverup, he would lie for her, so I don't see how he was needed at all. He seemed like a grumpy cat. Colin on the other hand (or Julie even) seemed fine on direct but then suddenly had cross-amnesia. That makes me wonder why and what are they trying to hide? Especially compared to Brian Jr. (Who was soo nervous!) Who I really found credible and telling what he knew instead of seeming like he was hiding something.
      A comment mentioned Julie's brother stopping by then she goes out to say she's staying then he leaves sounds like a drop off (I am clueless about these things) and while I'm sure there is no evidence of that being true or ppl taking anything so I'm sure it won't come in the trial, it does give some explanation for the seeming to hide something of ppl like Julie. Especially when we see how Sarah is not like that. I'm not trying to accuse anyone but it's like an extra puzzle piece for me that helps explain some behaviors without it being everyone is in on it and putting and covering up. Or maybe Julie has other connections or something that makes her more protective of the Alberts than like Brian Jr. Seems to be.

      This kind of case has happened before. Either by a tunnel vision investigation by law enforcement or cover up... bringing new charges against a NEW suspect is almost impossible,because the first trial is used as 3rd party defense.... one example is the Russ Faria case in 2011.... it had elements of both tunnel vision investigation and framing.. the states Star witness was the actual killer . To this day she's never been charged in that case.. unfortunately she killed someone else claiming Russ Faria.... crazy story

    I’m a litigation/trial paralegal. Mr. I Don’t Remember was a horrible witness devoid of credibility. When I first heard the framing theory, I thought the defense was grasping. It seems like a reasonable theory based on the testimony of the witnesses who were friends, coworkers or acquaintances. “I don’t know” “ I don’t recall” are almost as bad as lying.

    • @bradenculver7457
      @bradenculver7457 Před 18 dny +3

      Like if for a few questions he said “I don’t recall”, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but when the prosecution is almost throwing you a bone and giving you a broad time frame to attest to, and your response to when you left is “it could’ve been five am” (after you attested it was in the evening), it’s just impossible to believe anything you say, in my opinion. You’re clearly biased, whether is because you’re just uncomfortable on cross or on the side of pros. I saw runkle mention the fact the got the “high maintenance” comment in as being good for pros, which it is, but I don’t think it remedied the sheer absurdity of his evasiveness on even simple questions…

    It’s interesting she claims the object was 5-6 ft long. People tend to be very bad at guessing the size of objects on the ground from the vantage point of a vehicle. Most guess the dashed line on American roads is somewhere from 2-6 ft instead of the actual 10ft federal standard. If she actually saw him I’d expect her to guess 3-4ft.

    Because of the sloppyness from all this they have to let Karen off. Too much covering up.
    Here is my take:
    They had a party pretty much all tanked from the bar came back things got crazy the guys may have been play fighting either A cracked his head before the dog and or they used the dog as a deterrent to come bite him and then they put him out in the snow bank because they were afraid of losing everything or going to jail. Or B....they were play or real fighting the dog got down on the dude, he tried to get away from dog biting him cracked his head passed out they put a coat on and put him to the curb. I do not think that lady Karen had anything to do with this. They are all covering it up for each other.

    It's not really big for the prosecution because they are saying that Karen did this when she dropped him off and she saw this blob almost 2 hrs later after the snow had piled up and now this blog is there which tells me the blob came in after the snow was piling up because poor O'Keefe's body was on 6 inches of the snow in the morning with a dusting on top of it according to EMTs. This is inconsistent with the prosecutor's story of how and when Karen supposedly hit him.

    At this point the defense should’ve also asked this witness how hard it was snowing at this time and was there any accumulation of snow on the ground/lawn and on and around the “black object. The defense should be using the protection’s claim that John was hit in the early hours of the day to prove that it was impossible for 6” of snow to have accumulated under the body in the time frame of when it first started snowing and 1:45am if in fact that was John’s body she saw. So, this seems to support the defense’s claim that that the body was placed there after it’s been snowing for quite awhile. The prosecution need to explain beyond a reasonable doubt how this is possible.

    @kile7400 Před 17 dny +1

    Here’s my hot take (which I do admit isn’t too great): I actually don’t think there was a conspiracy to murder KR. KR drops John off, bumps into him by accident, he’s drunk (she’s tipsy, drinking with MS even in low amounts can be problematic), he passes out in the snow and freezes to death. Somehow some of the partygoers notice and freak out because a dead guy is on their lawn and I think they (from their testimonies) are entitled/scummy (for lack of a better term) to try to make sure this doesn’t get blamed on them and make sure to cover their tracks, something I get a sense they’re used to doing (with all the phone swapping etc). A VERY poor investigation is then launched, which some of them influence from the back seat because all these local cops are extremely close and protect their own. KR is rich enough to get good lawyers who pick all of this apart and put their microcosm under a microscope. They freak out, cover their tracks by destroying phones etc and we now find ourselves in this v strange situation. In the end, I think they (Alberts etc) shot themselves in the foot because it is (currently) throwing enough doubt in the whole process where it’s no longer beyond reasonable. But pls do let me know if you disagree, it’s just a theory!

      Like she said in the video, it’s at least possible to use context clues and typicalities to approximate when something likely happened. The problem with Tristan’s responses isn’t him not remembering things here and there- lawyers can expect memory to be fuzzy, especially if nothing of note happened- it’s that he is absolutely hell-bent on stonewalling the defense at every turn for things that probably aren’t that consequential. It makes him come across as obnoxious at best and suspicious at worst.

Because I could see prossibly still a bit tipsy and so early in the am thinking she might have, but then being like, no I remember him going inside, or is the prosecution trying to say she confessed then recanted?
    I dunno, as of right now if I was a jury I would for sure say not guilty for the murder charge, but would have to deliberate on the vehicular manslaughter one, I think its possible she hit him, didn't realize it, and left. But they have done nothing to prove to me she meant to do it, or even knew about it till the next morning when she went to get him. Im kinda leaning towards not guilty cuz there is at least some reasonable doubt on her doing it at all too, and possibly them in the house doing something. The only thing with that is, why leave his body there, if they killed him why not dump him somewhere else?

    Soooo I pulled up the house on Google street view right, and what the witness who saw the black SUV said, is really consistent with what Karen said, she waited till he got in side, like inching up till he made it to the door, here's the thing, there are 2 front doors. So, it's possible he was actually walking up at that time. The witness could be focused on the SUV and not see him walking up the driveway.
    But then with the black blob, I think the lawyer did a good job of showing that she didn't think it was a body at the time, but he kinda asks the same question over and over and over, can't we get an obj asked and answered? but anyways, yeah the fact the 2 people that would have been on that side of the car didn't see it, but then they could be facing the other people or whatever so looking away, she would be the one looking toward the passenger side while talking to people... but the thing that gets me, and where I thought the lawyer was going with that line of questioning was... if you didn't think it was something important why bring it up at all? to me her seeing some black object in the yard/side of road but not knowing at all what it was but then bringing it up is kinda fishy to me, like if you are looking close enough to bring it up then you are looking close enough to know what it is.
    I guess if it was him, its one of those things maybe her brain on some level did realize what it was but then convinced it self I couldn't have seen what I thought I saw or something. Also, it could have been him but not Karen that killed him as there was enough time between Karen leaving and Julie seeing the blob that someone inside the house could have killed him in the basement then taken the body outside, or even possibly a battered victim stumbling outside on his own and falling there
